Don't think I'd have any dental work done abroad. What if it goes wrong and you are back in the UK? Careful about cheap work in the UK as well. There is nothing more painful than bad dental treatment. As the saying goes, pay peanuts...

Any surgery abroad (as any surgery in the UK) carries risk - if anything goes wrong, the NHS takes a dim view of having to fund remedial work for something done overseas.
Agreed with TTG, my dentist charges a bit more than others locally, but it's worth it for the quality of his work.

NHS won't get involved in implants anyway as its not a service the NHS provide. I have had an implant here and going to have a second because one failed (I still have one that is 100% successful) the replacement for the failed one is at no extra charge, as was the removal of the failed implant and the bone re seeding of the socket. I need 100% faith in any dentist who s going to mess with my teeth and wouldn't consider being a dental tourist.

How do you get the implant done abroad,I was under the impression that there was more than one visit involved with a gap in-between?

I need a couple doing, Poland was recommended, the after-care was very good apparently too, that of course would mean two visits. I'll do it eventually with the idea of combining it with a holiday (albeit a slightly pain tainted one!)

ian austrian friend of mines parent with 5 friends traveled to hungary to have work done and an kiwi friend of mines brother has had all of his teeth done in goa .i would go to india myself and spend 2 months there back packing the £2000 would be the cost of the whole trip including the tooth thats how i would get round the gap in between visits!i just need to find out from a few brits there experiences !as usual everything in the uk so expensive< so dont think you get what you pay for think you just get ripped off here because they can !

I've heard good things about Poland as well. Apparently the facilities there are excellent. The dentists are very well trained and the equipment top notch. But as with all of these things, do plenty of research first. As with plastic surgery, there are plenty of cowboys out there in this country and the rest of the world. I believe there's a travel company that offers a holiday with dental treatment combined. If I can find it I'll post it up.
