Teeth abroad

Hi
Unfortunately I have some really bad teeth problems. Fortunately, all of the visible ones when I talk are ok, but either side of my mouth I have missing teeth or a filling.
I am trying to see what is best, whether to just have them removed and implants there, or have the whole lot out and have full implants.
I keep reading about Turkey and other places where this is more financially possible(!)
Just wondering if anyone has any experience in this?

From what I understand, the UK NHS dentists will not maintain/repair foreign implants etc, so you might want to consider the cost of ongoing private maintenance in the UK.0

There are more if you put 'implants' or 'implants abroad' into the search feature.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.0
