Dental tourism .... without going abroad?

This week sees the news that two development buy to let Property millionaires are planning to open a series of drive-in dental centers near motorway junctions around the United Kingdom. Having seen the dental tourism growth in the United Kingdom, they decided to bring dentists abroad for the British patient, offering prices for dental treatment that will be competitive with countries such as Poland and Hungary.



They intend to set a national chain charging the same or less than NHS clinics. Although service will consist of dentists from Eastern Europe who will receive free housing, but will only get salaries in line with what they would win again in Eastern Europe.


It remains to know if this idea will take off. They will be able to find dentists abroad who are willing to work on wage rates of Eastern Europe, where they are based in the United Kingdom? How they will attract the best dentists abroad to work on these charges? And how they will select the dentists?


If it works .... maybe we'll see the United Kingdom if dental tourist destination?
