    If your teeth are falling to bits, it is NOT too late for preventative dentistry to help. If the situation in your mouth is not stable before you start this treatment, the treatment WILL FAIL. It may take a few years, but it will. When it does, you will be worse of than before you started. Or even if you had not had it done.

    LOL I keep getting shot down for making this point :D

    So your point UDB, is that a rotten mouth CAN be fixed by encasing the failing teeth in porcelain, and filling the spaces with implants?

    This treatment is really easy to have done, never goes wrong, and hardly needs any maintenance once completed.

    UK dentists are up in arms about it, because it blasts their lies that you only get good teeth from looking after them, and that involves visiting a dentist quite frequently.

    Could you please point out any errors I have made in understanding you?

    If this is correct, I would really love to see the science you base your opinions on.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    It won't be £780 everywhere in Glasgow. How many places did you try?

    I'm not a fan of dental tourism!

    two different dentists, infact, the first one I went to was charging 11,000 for 8 crowns and bridge work.
  • I've a brilliant dentist here in Glasgow, been with him over twenty years.
    He only takes private patients now, & pre-existing NHS ones like me (though practice still takes NHS).

    I'd recommend him to anyone.
    PM me for his surgery address if u want.
    :D

    When did you last visit a dentist? And how often do you usually go?
