Anybody got any experience of travelling abroad for major dental work? All stories welcome, good or bad :)
I've been quoted around 10k for work here, so I'm exploring my options.
TIA.
The wife knows a couple of people who have been to Hungary for dental work and made a holiday of it. No bother, good bit cheaper and no post-work issues which is the main concern most people have. WTF are you doing that costs 10 grand?!

;D strong look.
Hungary is the location I've heard from people as well. Hard of people going there for laser eye surgery too as far back as ten years ago.
Anyone had a back molar removed? I have to get this done and whilst I'm ok with the fact it's at the back, I'm a tiny bit wary other teeth will start moving etc? Dentist didn't seem to think there was any issue :-\
I'm not surprised people go away. I bust a tooth in a car accident last year and because of whatever way I bent it none of the first 10 or 11 dentists north and south I went to see would remove it without a General anaesthetic. So I had to go on a 2.5 year wait list for the Royal. Long story short I couldn't take the pain anymore and finally found a dentist in Belfast who cut it in half and got it out no bother. Bloody expensive mind.

Maybe I had a similar tooth issue as you, My dentist wouldn't do it, he immediately referred me to a specialist, a dental sugeon of sorts who came into his practice outside normal hours and performed the procedure (under local anasthetic). That procedure was the dental equivalent of using a hammer and chisel to split the remains of the tooth into two parts, one good precise whack did the job, thereby allowing for a straight forward removal of the two parts. In 1996 that private procedure cost about GBP170. I was well pleased at how it went
You'll never see a poor dentist.
