Malaysia: The Perfect Smile Factory
Outsource Your Teeth with Medical Tourism
Did your dentist shock you when she told you the cost of your new dental bridges? Is the price of your new dental caps causing financial strain? Do you want to brighten your teeth, but find laser teeth whitening too expensive? Taking a medical tourism vacation to Malaysia may be a solution to all of these problems. Home to pristine beaches, beautiful weather, and mouth-watering food, this small South East Asian nation also boasts top-notch medical and dental facilities. Foreigners have been taking advantage of low plastic surgery prices and high quality medical care for years, but with new hospitals springing up, Malaysia is set to become a major player in the medical tourism industry.
Malaysia’s Newest Dental Hospital
Vinayaka Mission’s University in India announced at a press conference recently that they will invest heavily in the construction and administration of Penang International Dental College (PIDC) in Malaysia. Construction on the expensive facility began only a few months ago, but the medical tourism industry is abuzz with expectations. Once completed, PIDC will be one of the biggest dental training facilities in South East Asia, providing medical students with the last three years of their clinical training. It will boast 250 dental chairs in its state-of-the-art facility. Construction is expected to be completed by September 2010.
Malaysia: New Hub for Dental Tourism?
Dr S. Sharayanan, PIEDC chief executive officer and managing director, said at a press conference recently that PIDC has the potential to further develop Malaysia as a major medical tourism destination. He hopes that Penang will be made into a regional hub for dental treatment and study. According to Sharayanan, foreigners already come in scores to Malaysia to take advantage of the low costs of everything from dental bridges to tooth veneers, as well as low plastic surgery prices, procedures that can cost up to 50% more in the UK.
