What is Dental Tourism

Thousands of people travel to India every year, to experience the rich culture and diversity that our beautiful, mystic country has to offer and to take advantage of the world class treatment quality, available at a fraction of the cost in their native country!

Dental tourism, one of the niche specialisations of medical tourism, is becoming increasingly more popular by the year. India offers not only advanced technology and state-of the-art dental care, but also abundant options for travel and tourism to match your preferences, budget and time specifications. India offers international quality especially for procedures like dental implants, aligners and cosmetic dentistry at a very affordable price.

Dental Tourism in Delhi

Dental Tourism in Delhi is very popular. Most international patients land in the national capital to begin their India Experience. Quality dental treatment at cost effective rates favour dental tourism in Delhi. On an average, a high quality dental treatment done at SmileMint Studio, Delhi, costs one fourth or one fifth the rate as compared to the west. This difference is often attributed to the advantages of conversion rates to Indian currency.

Delhi has a long and beautiful history, and has been an important political centre of India as the capital of several empires, in recorded history from atleast the 8th Century onwards. It is considered to be a city built, destroyed and rebuilt several times, as those who came to conquer and stay would be so impressed by the city’s strategic location as to make it their capital and rebuild it in their own way. In Delhi the ancient and modern flow into and build upon each other like a beautiful mosaic spanning centuries. 

Delhi has a lot to offer to the international traveller. From renowned monuments, like Qutub Minar, The Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb, and sprawling gardens, like Sunder Nursery, The Lodhi Gardens and the Mughal Gardens, to unique shopping and cultural experiences Dilli Haat, and world class shopping malls; a plethora of unmatched eating options from legendary street food to Michelin star restaurants  and a pulsating nightlife; Delhi truly has something for everyone.
