Teeth

[BlackadderV]

What few teeth I have left are rotten and ought to be removed and replaced by prostheses. Anyone any idea of the cost if I choose to go private?

[vetuste_ennemi]

In England close to £2000 per tooth. Try eastern Europe,

[vetuste_ennemi]

Or the Balkan states.

I share your pain.

Get used to taking protein via a straw.
Cheapest option.
Just don't smile at anyone, you may scare them ;-)
Oops, this wasn't chatterbank.
My apologies.

[BlackadderV]

You're kidding me. that equates to £64 000, taking into account the roots of dead teeth in my gob. How much is the return fare to Latvia?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Not much to Latvia. When I was looking at the teeth implants Hungary was the preferred (offered it cheap) option. DYOR, Blackadder.

[BlackadderV]

Wan't thinking of implants, just gnashers which can lie in a glass overnight.

[vetuste_ennemi]

My local (private) dentist referred me to his partner in Harley Street(!) and I got an estimate of £17000 (which I couldn't afford at the time). That was for five implants and some reconstructive stuff..

[vetuste_ennemi]

Gnashers? Not trying to pull the girls ten?

[BlackadderV]

You move in exalted circles. We're talking poverty level here.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Blackadder, we're all brothers hers. Innit.

[vetuste_ennemi]

How coarse and politically incorrect of me (in my last post) to exclude: sisters, cross-dressers and raving poof**s.

[1ozzy]

LOL, and I was thinking this was a serious discussion.
Hence I bowed out.

If you go for dental implants you can expect to pay approx. £2000 per tooth depending on which part of the country you are. It's not a cheap thing to do but if you can afford it, it looks VERY good.

If you're talking poverty level blackadder, why reject the NHS option?

[ummmm]

Why not just a set of false teeth? My partners uncle has false teeth and I didn't have a clue until he took them out one day, they looked real to me.

[Maydup]

The fee is £219 for an NHS set (excluding the glass)

dentures are the NHS option. Implants are expensive, as mentioned. They're cheaper abroad and said to be good; but you'd need to factor in the cost of two or three visits (at least) per implant session, with flights and hotels as needed.
