Top countries for cheaper dental treatment
Comments

I would add I went to Goa India for a week long winter break 10 years ago. Loved the 5 star hotel & cheap winter sun, but got bad guts & the 9 hour flight nearly finished me off.
Many of the other holiday makers were getting their glasses done whilst there. A full eye test & varifocals cost about £75-100 I recall. The point I'm making is that if the glasses are fouled up there is no long term damage to your health & you'll only be £100 down. With a mouth full of implants you could get serious complications, be in a third world country with no recourse, & no dentist in the UK will want to know when it comes to sorting out the resultant mess. And you can't just jump on a plane like nipping to the local dentist for follow ups if something is twingeing.
Sorry to be negative, but I'm a long term debt adviser, & I was paid to be cautious!0 -
East European countries are rather cheap in this sense, Ukraine or Russia for example0

Forgot to mention, I did have a relative who had an implant done in Venezuela. Very cheap & the surgery was very modern & clean. Not as madcap as it sounds as the economy was strong at that time & she was working there. The implant dropped out 2 months later & as she was by this time back home, it proved to be a waste of money. She got them redone in the UK.0

I been to Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh on Holiday in 2007. By recommended someone locally, I had my deep cleaning and white filling in one tooth. Paid total £2 and still had no issue with filling until the year 2020, while my second tooth filling from UK came out after 5 months. The dental practice charged me £85. The dentists were so friendly and very expert in Cox's Bazar. Planning to go on Holiday in North Bengal next year and will do one root canal.-1
