Dental tourism: UK dentists report costly complications

Dental tourism: UK dentists report costly complications

More than half a million Britons travelled abroad for treatment in 2024, but who is treating the complications back home? Bill Schaeffer shares The Implant Centre’s analysis of the latest figures on dental tourism.

New analysis of official data by The Implant Centre shows outbound medical travel from the UK has risen 50% in two years. A British Dental Association (BDA) survey found 94% of dentists had examined a patient treated overseas, and one in five had seen a case costing more than £5,000 to put right.
