Return Home with Confidence
Take home your complete dental records, warranty documentation, and aftercare instructions. Your Canadian dentist can access your treatment file. SmileJet follows up at 30, 90, and 365 days.
Direct: Vancouver–Bangkok (14 hrs), Toronto–Bogotá (6 hrs), most Canadian cities to Cancun/Puerto Vallarta (4–6 hrs). HCMC typically needs one stop from any Canadian airport. Budget: CAD $1,200–$1,900 return to Asia, CAD $500–$900 to Mexico or Colombia. Book 6–10 weeks ahead for best fares.
Canadians can enter Thailand (60 days), Colombia (90 days), and Mexico (180 days) visa-free. Vietnam requires a simple online e-visa (US$25, 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 required anywhere.
Provincial health plans and most private Canadian insurance do not cover elective dental treatment abroad. Purchase a short-term travel policy covering medical complications and emergency dental care — providers like Manulife, Blue Cross, and TuGo offer options. Your SmileJet clinic's warranty covers treatment-related issues separately.
All SmileJet quotes are in CAD. Clinics accept Canadian bank transfers (Wise or similar), Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and cash (CAD, USD, or local currency). Notify your card issuer of foreign travel to avoid holds. ATMs are widely available everywhere.
Every SmileJet partner clinic has English-speaking dentists and 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. French-speaking coordinators available on request for Québécois patients.
Vietnam and Thailand: October to April (dry season) — also the best escape from Canadian winter. Mexico: November to April. Colombia: December to March is driest. Snowbirds commonly schedule dental work to coincide with their winter southbound trip.

Everything you need to know before booking dental treatment abroad.
Canadian dental costs are among the highest in the world — a single implant averages CAD $4,500–$6,000, All-on-4 runs CAD $24,000–$32,000 per arch. Roughly one in three Canadians has no dental insurance, and even those with employer coverage typically hit annual caps of CAD $1,500–$2,500. The Canadian Dental Care Plan rolled out in 2024 helps low-income seniors but doesn't address the working middle class or complex treatment needs.
Canadians travelling abroad for dental care has roughly tripled over the past decade, with snowbirds leading the way. Many retirees from Ontario, Québec, BC, and Alberta now schedule major dental work around their winter trips south. The typical Canadian SmileJet patient is 50–75 years old, has been quoted CAD $15,000+ at home, and is comfortable with international travel.
Every SmileJet quote is in CAD, support covers both Eastern and Pacific business hours, and partner clinics are vetted against 47 safety criteria. Many partner dentists trained in North America or EU member states. French-speaking coordinators are available for Québécois patients. Post-treatment, we coordinate records with your Canadian dentist and back every clinic with the SmileJet Global Warranty.
Mexico and Colombia are 4–6 hours direct from Canada, ideal for shorter treatments or snowbird patients. Vietnam and Thailand require 15–20 hours of travel but offer the lowest prices globally — often 40–50% less than Mexico or Colombia. Most Canadians choose based on treatment scale and whether they're already planning a southbound trip.
Look for ISO 9001 or JCI accreditation, dentists with internationally recognized credentials (North American or EU 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 these thresholds.
Most Canadians 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. Bring your full dental history, medication list, and travel insurance policy. On return, share your clinic's treatment file with your Canadian dentist. Keep all receipts — some qualifying expenses can be claimed under the Medical Expense Tax Credit.
