I spoke about major work to a guy in South Africa, it would have cost several thousand there. However he openly admitted that he works a third of the year in the UK and charges 3 times as much. He also said the surgeon in Cape Town was as good as you would get anywhere.

I’m having two done at the moment. Perlan in Eastbourne. It’s horribly expensive but for all rhe reasons driller says, reassuringly professional.

Some extremely good, top class dentists here in Spain. Average cost of implant is 700 euros. My wife had a complicated extraction, re-build of bone and eventually, a double implant. It took time, very highly skilled work that cost 1,900 euros - co-incidentally a friend of hers in the UK had similar work at the same time - cost in the UK £5000!

Do you honestly think I, or the vast majority of people, would go abroad to a 'new' dentist without doing as much research as possible and checking hundreds of reviews....even asking for any shared experiences on NSC....?
NSC is just another forum to enquire on opinions, experiences etc etc etc.
To think otherwise would indeed be madness.
Going by your name on here, are you a dentist ....or connected to that trade where exhorbitant amounts of money are earned and many , many times as has been proven, undertake unnecessary and expensive work on unsuspecting clients...?
Let's be honest here, if you have a raging toothache over the Xmas period and Joe Bloggs is the only dentist willing to work......you wouldn't 'know' him, but you would still go there for treatment.
Happy New Year to you.

That is an interesting post.
Spain is significantly nearer to me than Hungary, and cost looks good.

Depends what you mean by ‘abroad’ and what that infers. I had mine done in the US and most of the above does not apply to there.

Cracks me up that people parochially believe British dentists are somehow the best in the world when our teeth are a global joke.

So they open early on New Years Day and allow you to use your mobile for the internet whilst you are having your treatment done.
That is service for you.

True, but i think that has a lot to do with our phyci and the NHS. We our brought up with the understanding of a system that offers free at source treatment - from a broken toe to a heart transplant- so when we have to dip into our pockets for eyes and teeth care many of us are at best begrudging to do so.

I thought the maximum charge for NHS dental work was £244.30 ?

I had my 3 done [fitted last Christmas] by Hungarian dentists in the UK - www.perfectprofilesclinics.co.uk
Over a 12 month period, probably about six visits to the surgery - no way was I going out to Hungary that often.
Perfect Profiles fly the dentist to the UK - ideal solution
Paid just over £3k but didn't go for the basic model [their prices start at £680 per tooth]
Hungarians are supposed to be the world leaders in implant dentistry.
Took lots of advice from@driller
PM me if you want more details ....

I would’ve thought the chip on your shoulder was a priority?

If I was going to have anything done to my teeth, don't think I would have it done in Crack-OW! I'm guessing your appointment is 2:30 as well?

Implants are not covered by the NHS, except in very rare circumstances. Even bridges are not covered in most cases. A denture is the most expensive dental work in the NHS.
Knock, knock.
