View clinic profileMy U.S. dentist quoted $48,000 for both arches. SmileJet matched me with Picasso Dental and I paid $16,000 including a two-week stay. My Dallas dentist looked at the work afterward and couldn't tell the difference from U.S. quality.

| Travel insurance | $80 – $150 |
| Total | $5,530 – $6,600 |
Compared to $24,000 at home, you save $17,000+ even after flights, hotel, and food. That's enough for a vacation AND a new smile.

Direct flights from Miami, NYC, and Houston to Colombia (3–6 hrs) and dozens of U.S. cities to Mexico (2–5 hrs). Asia destinations require one stop — LAX/SFO to Ho Chi Minh City or Bangkok runs 17–22 hours total. Budget: $900–$1,400 round-trip to Asia, $300–$700 to Mexico or Colombia. Book 6–10 weeks ahead for best fares.
Americans can enter Thailand visa-free for 60 days, Colombia for 90 days, and Mexico for 180 days. Vietnam requires a simple online e-visa (US$25 single-entry or US$50 multiple-entry, valid up to 90 days) applied for at evisa.gov.vn and issued within 3–5 business days. No medical or dental-specific visa is needed for any SmileJet destination.
U.S. health insurance (including Medicare) does not cover elective dental treatment abroad. Purchase a short-term travel policy covering medical complications and emergency dental care — providers like IMG, Allianz Global Assistance, and Seven Corners offer medical-focused plans from $3–$8/day. Your SmileJet clinic's warranty covers treatment-related issues separately.
All SmileJet quotes are in USD. Clinics accept U.S. bank transfers, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and cash (USD or local currency). Notify your credit card issuer of foreign travel to avoid holds. ATMs are widely available in every dental tourism city. Exchange rates are favorable for Americans across all SmileJet destinations.
Every SmileJet partner clinic has English-speaking dentists and dedicated patient coordinators. Treatment plans, consent forms, and post-care instructions are provided in English. WhatsApp, email, and phone support before, during, and after your trip.
Vietnam and Thailand: October to April (dry season). Colombia: December to March is driest. Mexico: November to April for most regions. Avoid Lunar New Year (late Jan–early Feb) in Vietnam as many clinics close for Tết. U.S. summer (June–August) is hot and humid in Southeast Asia but fine for clinic visits if you stay indoors.

Everything you need to know before booking dental treatment abroad.
The average American spends around $1,100 per year on dental care, but the real pain point is major treatment. A single implant in the U.S. runs $3,500–$6,000; a full-mouth rehabilitation can exceed $55,000. More than 40% of American adults delay dental care because of cost, and most dental insurance caps out at $1,500–$2,000 annually — a limit unchanged since the 1970s. That gap is the single biggest driver of U.S. patients seeking treatment abroad.
Americans are now the single largest group of international dental tourists globally, with roughly 780,000 traveling abroad each year for treatment. SmileJet's U.S. patient base has grown 200%+ year-over-year, driven primarily by retirees on fixed incomes, small business owners without dental coverage, and professionals saving for implants or smile makeovers. The typical American SmileJet patient is 45–70 years old, has been quoted $15,000+ at home, and is comfortable with international travel.
Every SmileJet quote is in USD, support is staffed during U.S. business hours (both coasts), and partner clinics are vetted against 47 safety criteria set by our Medical Board of Excellence. Many partner dentists trained or practiced in the U.S., UK, or Germany. Post-treatment, we coordinate records with your U.S. dentist and back every clinic with the SmileJet Global Warranty.
Vietnam and Thailand offer the lowest prices and the most advanced infrastructure, but require 17–22 hours of travel each way. Mexico and Colombia are 2–6 hours from the U.S., same or near-same time zone, and better for shorter treatments or patients who want easy follow-up visits. Most Americans choose based on travel tolerance and scale of treatment — big jobs like All-on-4 often justify the longer Asia flight because savings are substantially higher; single implants or veneers often go to Mexico.
Look for ISO 9001 or JCI accreditation, dentists with internationally recognized credentials (U.S./UK/German training is ideal), verifiable material sourcing (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, IPS E.max), and fluent English communication. Google reviews with recent dates, patient photos, and a written warranty you can take home are non-negotiable. Every SmileJet partner clinic meets all of these thresholds.
Most Americans start planning 8–12 weeks out. Send your X-rays to SmileJet, receive 2–3 matched clinic options within 48 hours, confirm your preferred clinic, book flights and accommodation, and arrive a day before treatment begins. Bring your full dental history, a medication list, and a copy of your travel insurance policy. On return, share your clinic's treatment file with your U.S. dentist so continuity of care is preserved. Keep receipts if you plan to submit for HSA/FSA reimbursement.
