Hang on,are dentists underpaid and coming out on strike too.
Great lucrative trade.Had a few chums who were dentists. Always new premium cars,huge houses and they didnt holiday in a Skegness caravan
I was thinking of having a single one done and asked with my dentist, there are a few doing this procedure around Swansea. The cost was around £2,800 - £3,000 with consultation and pre-operative work involving scans etc.
There are places down Sketty, Walters Road and down the SA1 waterfront etc. If an implant is for a tooth/teeth that had been missing for many years a bone graft may be required that'll raise a price higher because when a tooth is lost a process called resorption means underlying bone that held the tooth recedes.
So the gist is if you unexpectedly loose a tooth have an implant procedure arranged asap. It saves extra visits/hassle and expense!

Thanks, more advice that can save a lot of money and inconvenience!
Never crack hard nut shells, really hard pork scratching's, or open beer bottles with teeth, when there is a front crown in place. It can cause a gum margin fracture/sheer that can mean the loss of a tooth or requirement of implant, dental post and core procedure, Maryland bridge or denture.. This is what a sheared off crown looks like! It's not the crown that is sheared but the original underlying tooth that holds the crown. I have seen this happen myself!

I lost a tooth due to dentists shutting down through covid, was offered an implant, 3 or 4 grand they said.
Huh, I'm not paying that, you can't even notice it, as long as you talk like a ventriloquist .
On a more serious note, if you are requiring treatment, but don't want to pay UK prices of 3 grand plus, I have read you can have it done in Turkey on the cheap side, but personally I wouldn't fancy that.

My own dentist had a very low opinion of patients having surgery out in Turkey and you are correct to be wary i.e. post-surgery complications and lower standards.

Top posting wingy. Ok so you get it cheaper then it goes titsup.Good luck with the follow up.

The exact words I was told was "pay cheap pay twice".
I know a few people very well who've had surgery in Turkey and the quality and aftercare has been exceptional, that with prices roughly a third off rip off Britain, I suggest anyone considering having work done do some thorough research.

My neighbour was bald as a coot before he went to Turkey and came back looking like Russell Brand.

IMO in those circumstances where there are post-operative complications it is far better to have them in the U.K as opposed to having them across the ocean away. And 'aftercare/follow-up' is far nearer also.
I know that Dr Craig Mallorie who performs surgery down here has had to do corrective surgical procedures from overseas implant surgery. So indeed its wise to look into who is actually performing the procedure abroad.
Aye its all about weighing up options, budgets and risks!

Brilliant stuff Imagine walking into downtown Budapest or Instanbul and offering your throat to a possible wolf in a white gown who is about to do major work in your mouth . If he gets it wrong,you are frked.
I suppose the risk travelling to a different et country will always be there. But the prices in the uk seem mad. But people are paying them, and like petrol while they do it will be a premium service.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

I do wonder if the prices will go down in the U.K at some stage when this type of surgical specialty becomes more and common with more and more trained/experienced practitioners/implantologists doing it?
It's a relatively new procedure and currently only available in a few clinics/surgery's locally. Perhaps some day nearly every private dental practice will have an implantologist? Competition and increased availability and choice may drive prices down?

They do it gradually In Budapest so i'm told. First sitting is x rays and fit the basics, then next sitting is fit the tooth. Combine that with a few weekends in Budapest and it's still better value than the Uk. Aftercare shouldn't be needed as it's just dental and not organ transplant

If everything goes to plan, things should indeed be o.k. but like with all types of surgery there is always a risk of infection or complications and this is where correct a.s.a.p aftercare-intervention is vitally important. And of course a persons mouth is bacteria central!
My dentist felt it was important that the same surgeon who did the operation was close at hand (and not abroad) beyond the operation because if there was aftercare required it is preferential for the surgeon to see his former patient. It is also important for an implant patient to have regular check-up's with a dentist to monitor an implant/implants.
Quote:"In spite of this, a total of nearly 600 patients at 37 clinics in Sweden were examined at a nine-year follow-up and it was found that 7.6% of patients had lost at least one implant and 14.5% had developed peri-implantitis.

Dear God. I’d have to have enough anaesthetic to knock a horse out before I’d contemplate that amount of torture. Good post though

I bet he was.,how much more did he charge for that? The NHS get's many cases of private clinics messing up in this country.It's irrelevant what country it is in.
There are risks with any procedure whatever country it happens in. It's dental surgery, not open heart surgery.
