Vagas Style!: Pro: only one pro cost. It will likely save you a lot of money.... Initially. Con: the one pro is likely misleading. If you have any complications, who will take care of your problem once you are back in the states? We have among the highest legal standard of care in the world, dental work in the usa has to meet or exceed a certain acceptable standard. Who pays for substandard work? Safety?

To Which Country ?: There is excellent dentistry practiced in many parts of the world. In addition, there are many areas where the standard of care is much lower than what you will find in bethlehem, pa. Professional services cannot be priced out like a gallon of milk or gasoline. Many dental procedures are irreversible, and sub-standard care can cost you a lot more to correct later on. Weight risk vs benefit..
