WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANT COSTS ABROAD
Is it possible to save 40-70% on dentist bill?
As a matter of fact: YES! Prices of dental treatments differ quite a lot in different countries. Naturally public health services are not really prepared to handle more complex dental treatments like dental implant treatments. National healt services are government funded and their funds are spent on cheap and necessary treatments. The materials and equipment used in general are not high quality. In the past one got amalgam filling (which is a tooth filling materian including mercury, which is toxic) at a governmet founded dentistry. It was cheap and served the purpose of filling the hole. When one had the money one could have gone to a private dentist and got a more modern "white filling", but it had its price.
NHS dental clinics have also top quality modern equipment but they are limited in number and thus long waiting lists exist. One has to wait 14 month for a root canal treatment.
In UK prices of dental treatments can be quite high. A root canal treatment might wind up over 1000 pounds when one has to go from dentist to dentist. Not all dentists are prepared to handle every dental remedies.
A simple dental implant procedure starts around £1,200 in the UK. Prices can be lover or more expensive on individual basis. When the handling gets more complex more time of the dentist is occupied. This means higher costs.
Wages of the dentist, nurses and assistents in UK are definitely higher than in other countries like Hungary. The overhead costs are less in Hungary so dental treatment costs are lower.
