Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Will I actually save money with the extra costs by flying to the Philippines and staying

in a hotel?

A: It is common knowledge that dental treatment is very costly in Australia. For example, a porcelain crown and bridge would regularly cost $800 to $1200 per unit. In the Philippines, the rate for this procedure is merely $100 to $200 and can be done in a shorter period of time because of the availability of local but world-class dental laboratories. Other dental procedures will cost much less and can save a substantial amount that you can put toward your airfare and other holiday expenditures.

Q: How do I find out the cost of treatment?

A: Send Meditour a treatment plan given by your local dentist. Any X rays you have would also help (Small sized Jpegs via email). Even digital pictures taken of your teeth help the dentists give you an accurate diagnosis and  close cost estimate.

Q: How long will I need to be away from home?

A: Of course it depends on the treatment required. We have found the average is 10 days but we have had people treated in as little as 5 days. If you send us your requirements, our dentists can give a fairly accurate length of time needed.

Q: People tell me it is not hygienic to have dental treatment performed in Asia. How can I be sure that the clinics are clean?

A: Filipino dentists that Meditour carefully selects are on-par with any foreign dentist. Through their continuing education, awareness, and access to modern equipment, local dentists can truly be comparable to foreign practitioners. Read more in our ‘Dentists’ link on this website.

Q: Is the work guaranteed?

A: Yes, if any procedure does not meet your requirements before you depart, the dentist will make sure it is rectified.

Q: How will I get to the clinic?

A: The clinic will arrange for you to picked up and taken back to the hotel after each treatment.

Q: Who will arrange the travel from Australian to The Philippines?

A: Australian licenced travel agencies have special airfares arranged with Qantas, Philippine Airlines and Singapore Airlines that can be packaged, along with your preferred style of accommodation, at much lower costs than trying to arrange it separately.

Q How long is the flight to the Philippines  from Australia?

A: About 7.5hrs from most Australian capital cities.
