Dental Treatment Abroad

elcheapo_3

I need some extensive dental work and wondered if anyone has saved money by having treatment with a dentist in an Eastern European country or India. Any tips about how to go about this would be much appreciated.

Hi
I know its been a while since you posted. Sorry I can't help, but I am in a similar position as you and the possibility of doing what you are thinking of is interesting. Have you talked it over with your dentist? On another post somewhere it was suggested trying a dental teaching hospital to see if a student would do the work. I tried that one, and hit a brick wall. Maybe someone else can come up with something please? I shall definitely have a think about what you are thinking of doing. Maybe we should confer?

All of the above are the results of a google search and are not personal recommendations or to be regarded as medical advice.

Personally for most medical treatments abroad my concern would be what happens if something goes wrong??????

Does anyone know if dental work is cheaper in France or Spain?

I remember reading a thread on this site (before it was re-jigged) on the old health boards stating that Brits go to Calais or other French towns as the dentistry is so good and so much cheaper. Do a search of MSN archives. Cant do one at the mo cos I've got toothache (post op)

LOL

Have tried searching archives but no luck. Anyone have any idea where I can find this thread please?

I am going to research dentistry in France as my dentist has told me that I will never again get the quality of crowns on the NHS that I had when my front teeth were crowned 15 years ago. Apparently the labs which produce NHS crowns just cant be arksed. I will spend some time at the weekend and see if I can find the thread.

Results of the research may take some time. Bear with me.

Toothache has gone. I love my dentist.

Just remember to factor in a price for getting something done if it all goes pear shaped. It's human beings we're dealing with here, not washing machines. Not everything goes according to plan in any country or at any price level.

What would you do at 3am if you woke with pain & swelling from an Indian tooth implant?

Keep smiling!
