Qatar nationals travelling abroad for dental treatment

Sample News Big

An increasingly large number of dental patients in Qatar are choosing to go abroad for dental treatment to save money.

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of people travelling to nearby countries for dental treatment; figures show that more people are going overseas because treatment costs are much lower. According to residents in Qatar, treatment costs are far too high and they would prefer to travel abroad and enjoy a holiday for the same cost of having the treatment at home.

Popular destinations for dental tourists include Jordan, Egypt and Syria, where costs are up to half the price of those in Qatar. They can also receive immediate care in other countries; at home, many people have to join lengthy waiting lists.

Dentists in Qatar claim that their prices are relatively high compared to countries such as Jordan and Egypt because they work alongside global standards and use modern technology and the best quality materials. Dentists claim that treatment costs are high due to the quality of the material; for example, dental implants are much more expensive than in other countries because they are made from optimum quality material. The costs in the short-term may be much higher but using better quality materials and more modern treatments will help to create a better result in the long-term and the investment may well be worth it.
