If the treatment is minor or you can&#039;t return for the necessary check-ups, it&#039;s probably best to have treatment where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is dental tourism and why do so many people consider it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental tourism is traveling to another country to receive dental treatment. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/yellow-book\/hcp\/health-care-abroad\/medical-tourism.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC Yellow Book 2026<\/a>According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&#039;s travel health guide, dental care is the most common form of medical tourism among U.S. residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the reasons most frequently given to us by those who write to us from the United States, Aruba, and the Caribbean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The treatment they need (multiple implants, a full arch, a smile makeover) is not covered by their insurance or is only partially covered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are Colombians or Latinos who live abroad and prefer to communicate in their own language, close to their family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They want to take advantage of a trip they were going to take anyway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are looking for a lower cost in a well-equipped clinic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does dental treatment cost less in Colombia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price difference compared to a clinic in the United States stems primarily from operating costs: rent, salaries, insurance, and the exchange rate. The materials may be the same. Internationally recognized implant brands are also available in Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand a quote, ask what brand of implants and materials they use, how they make the diagnosis, and where the crowns or veneers are manufactured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it safe to get dental treatment in Colombia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safety depends primarily on the clinic and the professional treating you, just as in any country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDC warns that, outside the United States, oversight of professional licensing and compliance with infection control practices vary widely from place to place, and recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/page\/medical-tourism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verify the professional&#039;s training and the institution&#039;s credentials.<\/a> before traveling. In Colombia, you can do it from home, at two public registries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ReTHUS<\/strong> (National Single Registry of Human Talent in Health): allows <a href=\"https:\/\/web.sispro.gov.co\/THS\/Cliente\/ConsultasPublicas\/ConsultaPublicaDeTHxIdentificacion.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">search by name or document<\/a> if a dentist is authorized to practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>REP<\/strong> (Special Registry of Health Service Providers): the <a href=\"https:\/\/prestadores.minsalud.gov.co\/habilitacion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ministry of Health registration<\/a> where the authorized clinics and consulting rooms are listed, along with the services they can provide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask for the full name of the professional who will treat you and find them. Our clinic is licensed, regulated by the Superintendency of Health, and operates with strict biosafety protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is it worth it and when is it not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all cases justify a trip. This table summarizes what we see in practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table ca-tabla\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Your situation<\/th><th>Is it worth traveling?<\/th><th>Because<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>You need multiple implants, a full arch, or a smile makeover.<\/td><td>Generally, yes.<\/td><td>The treatment is substantial enough to justify flights, accommodation, and days off.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You only need one implant<\/td><td>Depends<\/td><td>It usually requires two trips; it makes sense if you already travel to Colombia frequently.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Do you need a cleaning, a resin treatment, or an emergency service?<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Resolve it with your local dentist<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You already travel to Colombia once or twice a year.<\/td><td>Yeah<\/td><td>You can spread the treatment stages across your trips<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You cannot return for the second stage or for checks<\/td><td>Not yet<\/td><td>It&#039;s a good idea to have the dates of all the stages clear before starting.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You have an uncontrolled medical condition.<\/td><td>First, control it<\/td><td>This applies equally in any country; it is reviewed with your medical history.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You have very few days available.<\/td><td>It depends on the treatment.<\/td><td>Some treatments require healing time; the schedule is tailored to your plan.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to look for when choosing a dental clinic in Colombia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides the price, ask the same questions you would ask in your city:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who will treat you and what their specialty is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If they do the diagnosis with tomography and 3D scanning before proposing a plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If they plan the surgery by computer when there are implants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What brands of implants and what materials do they use?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where crowns or veneers are manufactured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the exact budget is given to you after evaluating you with a tomography and 3D scanner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many years has the clinic been operating and what do its Google reviews say?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With those answers you can compare Colombia&#039;s budget with that of your city on the same basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the risks and how can they be reduced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting treatment far from home has its own risks. Almost all of them can be reduced with good planning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The follow-up.<\/strong> If anything needs adjusting once you&#039;re home, the clinic is just a flight away. Before you travel, ask about remote checkups and find a dentist in your city who can examine you. We handle that follow-up via chat and phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complications upon returning.<\/strong> The CDC reminds you that treating a complication in the United States after a procedure abroad can be expensive and your insurance may not cover it. Check your policy before you travel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The rush.<\/strong> Some treatments require healing time. Plan your travel accordingly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communication.<\/strong> It&#039;s easier to communicate in your own language. We provide service in both Spanish and English.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The documents.<\/strong> Bring your treatment information with you so a dentist in your city can examine you. At the end, we&#039;ll give you sheets with recommendations and the medications you should take. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/medical-devices\/dental-devices\/dental-implants-what-you-should-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FDA recommends<\/a> Ask what implant system they are going to put in and keep that information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ca-quiz\" id=\"caq-viajar\" data-quiz=\"viajar\" data-no-translation><div class=\"caq-in\"><div class=\"caq-ico\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0

src=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/guias\/tests\/ca-quiz.js?v=1\" defer><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What additional costs should you factor in besides the treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the travel expenses to the treatment budget:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Round-trip flights, and those of a second trip if your treatment has two stages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accommodation and food during the days of treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The days you stop working.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The expenses of a companion, if your procedure recommends it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel insurance, if you decide to take it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check-ups with a dentist in your city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, after adding everything up, the difference is still significant, traveling makes sense. If it&#039;s small, it&#039;s probably best to get treatment where you live. In the downloadable guide for this article, you&#039;ll find a worksheet to calculate this with your own figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this look like in a clinic in Barranquilla?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#039;ll tell you how we work, so you have a point of reference. Carlos Acevedo Dentistry has been operating in Barranquilla since 2006. We are nine specialists led by Dr. Carlos Acevedo. We have our own radiology center with tomography, 3D intraoral scanning, computer-guided surgery, CEREC technology, and our own dental laboratory. We work with Straumann, Neodent, and Bicon implants, provide care in Spanish and English, and have a 5.0 rating on Google with over 380 reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barranquilla is about 3 hours from Miami by direct flight, and we serve patients living in the United States and the Caribbean. On our website... <a href=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/en\/implantes-dentales-en-barranquilla\/\">Dental implants in Barranquilla<\/a> You can see the testimony of Joseph Kane, a patient from Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don&#039;t publish prices because they depend on each individual case. During the virtual consultation, we&#039;ll give you an estimated price, and during the in-person evaluation, we&#039;ll provide an exact quote, as it depends on the CT scan and 3D scan results. We explain this in more detail below. <a href=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/en\/por-que-no-damos-precios-sin-valoracion\/\">Why We Don't Quote Prices Without an Evaluation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We accept all major credit cards, and if you live in the United States, you can finance your treatment through our partnership program starting at USD 200 per month: check out our details. <a href=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/en\/financiamiento-usa\/\">financing in the U.S.<\/a>Most treatments come with up to a 5-year guarantee. And if you wish, we can coordinate the hotel and other travel details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the first step if you live outside of Colombia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before buying flights, schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/en\/consulta-virtual\/\">virtual consultation<\/a> via Google Meet, which costs USD 70. A dentist from our team will listen to your case, review your photos and x-rays, guide you through the options, and provide an estimated price so you can make an informed decision. When you arrive in Barranquilla, the plan is confirmed with a CT scan and 3D scan, and you&#039;ll receive the exact price before starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you prefer, you can write to us via WhatsApp from the website. <a href=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/en\/contacto\/\">contact<\/a>And if you already know which treatment interests you, check out our pages on <a href=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/en\/implantes-dentales-en-barranquilla\/\">dental implants<\/a> and of <a href=\"https:\/\/carlosacevedo.co\/en\/diseno-de-sonrisa-en-barranquilla\/\">smile design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ca-resumen is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dental tourism in Colombia is usually worthwhile for major treatments: implants, full arches, or smile design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lower price comes mainly from operating costs and the exchange rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verify the professional in ReTHUS and the clinic in REPS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add up flights, accommodation, days off and a possible second trip before deciding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get your follow-up organized before you travel.

Check the professional&#039;s registration in ReTHUS and the clinic&#039;s registration in REPS, ask how they make the diagnosis and what materials they use, and clarify how the follow-up will be when you return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much can you save on dental treatment in Colombia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on the treatment, the clinic you&#039;re comparing, and your travel expenses, which is why we don&#039;t provide a percentage. To find out, compare the quote here with one in your city, check what each includes, and add up flights, accommodation, and vacation days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does my US dental insurance cover treatment in Colombia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on your policy. Some plans reimburse for some out-of-network or international care, while others don&#039;t. Ask your insurer what documents they require before you travel, and then contact us via WhatsApp so we can review it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to speak Spanish to receive treatment in Barranquilla?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. At Carlos Acevedo Dentistry we provide services in Spanish and English, from the virtual consultation to the follow-up appointments after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if I have a complication after I&#039;ve returned to my country?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact us via WhatsApp: we provide remote follow-up through chat and phone calls. If an in-person visit is necessary, a dentist in your city can provide it. Therefore, it&#039;s helpful to have their contact information ready before you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many trips do I need for dental treatment in Colombia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on the treatment. A smile makeover can usually be completed in a single trip when the case allows. A conventional implant typically requires two trips because the bone takes months to heal.
