Chances are that you or someone you know has, at some stage, needed a crown, implant or veneer for one or more teeth. If you’re lucky enough to get some of the funding from the NHS this will cut costs, but it’s very difficult to obtain this. More often than not people have to go to a private dentist which can cost in the region of £550 for a single porcelain crown. However, visiting a dentist abroad could save you considerable sums of money.
How do I find a good dentist abroad?
The same porcelain crown in, for example, Budapest, is more likely to cost closer to £200 – a huge saving! As living costs in many Eastern European countries is so much less than the UK they can afford to off dental services at much lower rates than the UK. Finding a dentist abroad is becoming increasingly easy as its popularity increases.
If you have work you need or want doing on your teeth, there are a number of websites that can assist you in finding out the likely cost of treatment. Simply searching for ‘dentist abroad’ in Google will yield a number of professional institutions in places such as Hungary who can literally halve the cost of treatment when compared to the UK and many offer a UK-based consultation first.
