Welcome to the unique world of dental tourism in Kerala, where you can relish the best of both – a rejuvenating vacation and top-notch dental treatments while saving significantly. As we plan a perfect vacation to the ‘God’s Own Country’, keep in mind Chitra MultiSpeciality Dental Clinic in Trivandrum, the capital city of Kerala.

Cost Comparison

Dental care in countries like the US, Australia, UK, and UAE can be prohibitively expensive, often causing patients to delay or forgo necessary treatments. However, in India, particularly in Kerala, dental procedures are affordable and conducted with the utmost precision and expertise, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of care, instilling confidence and reassurance in the quality of treatment.

Let's take a look at the cost comparison for standard dental procedures :

Consider the cost of a root canal treatment. In the United States, you could be looking at a bill between $700 and $2000 [₹58000 - ₹166000] per tooth, while Australians might pay anywhere from $900 to $3000 [₹50000 - ₹167000]per tooth. In the UK, prices range from £300 to £1500 per tooth, which is roughly ₹31000 to ₹158000. The cost can vary significantly in the UAE, from AED 1500 to AED 5000 [₹34000 - ₹113650]per tooth. But in Kerala, the price is a pleasant surprise, ranging from ₹3000 to ₹8000 per tooth, offering substantial savings.

Moving on to periodontal therapy , sessions in the US typically cost between $200 and $400, whereas Australians may spend anywhere from $250 to $500 per session. In the UK, prices range from £150 to £300 per session; in the UAE, the cost can range from AED 500 to AED 1000 per session. In Kerala, periodontal therapy sessions are more affordable, ranging from ₹1000 to ₹3000 per session. But do not doubt that the low cost in Kerala is an excuse to provide cheap service or inferior treatments. We cannot speak for all the dentists in Kerala, but you can rest assured the team of doctors at Chitra MultiSpeciality Dental Clinic are professionally trained and have hundreds of hours of clinical practice for their team. The team, headed by Dr. Mini Jose, a highly experienced dentist with more than twenty years of experience and having worked with multiple hospitals before starting her practice, is committed to providing the highest quality of dental care.

Even if you are looking for a simple aesthetic treatment such as teeth whitening , prices in the US range from $300 to $1000 per session [₹25000 - ₹83000], while Australians may spend between $400 and $1500 [₹22000 - ₹83000]per session, in the UK, prices typically range from £200 to £700 [₹21000 to ₹74000] per session, and in the UAE, the cost can vary from AED 800 to AED 2500 [18000 - ₹56000] per session. The price is comparatively lower in Kerala, ranging from ₹2000 to ₹6000 per session.
