Cosmetic dentists ‘cheaper in Mexico’

Sample News Big

Americans are heading over the border in search of cheaper cosmetic dental treatments, Reuters reports.

The news source states that high dentist bills in the US are driving Americans to look elsewhere for treatment.

Dr Luis Garza, a dentist from Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, commented: "If you want a perfect smile, you have to pay for it and we can do it cheaper, that’s all."

The news source claims that Mexican cosmetic dentists can charge around a quarter of the price of their US counterparts.

Patients are utilising the internet to swap stories and compare notes on Mexican dental clinics, it continued, adding that price is usually the most important factor.

Clay, an aspiring hip hop artist from Texas, said: "I had to get my teeth fixed. I need a perfect smile to make a successful career in music."

In a national survey of over 500 UK dental practices, 93 per cent were found to offer cosmetic dental procedures, according to the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.ADNFCR-1374-ID-18452570-ADNFCR
