Dental tourism for Canadians is the natural place to start this series, and not by accident. In the medical tourism overview that kicked things off, I called dental work “the workhorse of medical tourism” and “the easiest entry point” for Canadians. This post is where I back that up with real 2026 numbers, the destinations that actually work, and the traps that quietly eat your savings if you don’t see them coming.

Here’s the thesis in one line: for most Canadians, a mouth full of implants was never covered anyway, so you are already a private-pay patient. The only real question is whether you pay Toronto prices or Los Algodones prices. Let’s do the math like adults.
