Guide to Dental Care in Chile

Chile is fast becoming the preferred dental tourism destination in South America. Its doctors and dentists are well-trained and regulated by international standards, and can often speak and understand English. These doctors are known for their friendly and caring temperament, and would do their best to protect their reputation- a Chilean trait that benefits their profession. 

Dental cost is relatively cheaper than in most developed countries, and a fraction of what it would cost in USA or Europe. People seeking dental treatment can indulge in a nice exotic vacation without foregoing modern amenities which find Chile an ideal medical and dental tourism destination. 

But, make sure to set up an appointment first. For emergency dental services, you can go to any one of these emergency dental clinics that regularly serve expatriates:
