Why are dentist treatments so much more in the us than the same procedure in the ukraine? root canal, implants, etc.

The : The cost of dental care in the ukraine is lower than the cost of dental care in the United States because the cost of living is lower. The cost for care in the ukraine is also significantly lower than some of it’s neighboring countries. For instance, it is about 30 to 40% lower than in hungary or poland.

Better trained: Dental care and training in the us is unparalleled. That being said, regulatory agencies, malpractice, taxes, and the cost of running a small business have much to do with what individual dentists charge for their services. A good phrase i always tell my patients is caveat emptor - buyer beware!

The standard of care: The standard of what is an acceptable level of accuracy is very different in those countries than in the usa. Consider the hostile environment that dental work has to survive in, if your tooth is not well sealed, the risk of failure is almost a certainty.

Many reasons: The lower expense of ukrainian dental implants or root canals are unlikely because of poor training, or bad materials but more to do with cost if living, office overhead and supply and demand. If public health is picking up the expenses ones education and also paying their salaries, they may have the right to set the fee's at a low rate! these procedures are probably done by less costly gps too.
