Dentistry in Iran: all you need to know

Ever since the time when Iranian physician Yuhanna ibn Masawaih wrote the first book in Iran on oral and dental health in the 9^th century, the field of dentistry in Iran has been continuously developing, with other Islamic Golden Age scientists such as al-Razi, Avicenna, Haly Abbas, and al-Jurjani making major contributions to the development of oral and dental medicine in its early stages.

Dentistry in Iran took a new turn in the 1930s when the first dentistry school was established in Tehran. Since then, dentistry in Iran has come a long way, to the point that currently there are dozens of dental colleges in Iran training hundreds of dentists annually in various dental specialties.

Today, Iran boasts hundreds of dental clinics staffed by professional specialists, which offer a wide array of medical and cosmetic dental procedures, including tooth whitening, dental veneers, dental implants, root canal, scaling and root planing, braces, bonding, tooth extraction, gum surgery, and other types of dental surgery and treatment.

Dental tourism in Iran

With the quality yet cheap medical and cosmetic dentistry services available in Iran, the country has become a favorite destination for dental patients from different countries, especially the Middle Eastern countries, who either can’t afford hefty bills of dental work in their home country or are wise enough to save money on their dental procedures by making a trip abroad.

The majority of dental tourists visiting Iran are from neighboring countries such as Iraq, Oman, Qatar, UAE, and Azerbaijan, with many people from European and North American countries also showing a willingness to travel to Iran for affordable dental work, something that is very expensive in their home countries.

Although the travel cost may offset the saving you make for a minor dental procedure abroad, a major dental work in Iran would certainly result is a huge saving for you even with the travel expenses taken into account, especially given that Iran is one of the cheapest countries to travel.

Cost of dental work in Iran

Dental procedures are available at very decent prices in Iran. The average fee charged by Iranian dentists is one-tenth of the price a dentist charges patients in developed countries. This is why many Iranians living abroad get their dental work done in Iran during their visit to their mother country.

To make a comparison, the average cost of dental veneers in Iran is $150 to $350 per tooth while the same cosmetic dental work costs a whopping $800 to $2000 per tooth in America. With these great fees, you can have a complete smile makeover in Iran at a very attractive price — and at the same time, make use of your trip to visit the many great places in Iran and have an experience you will remember.

The low dentistry cost in Iran doesn’t mean the quality is also low. It is a result of economic factors such as low taxes, low cost of living, and especially the dramatically increased exchange rate of foreign currencies to Iranian Rial.
