Hi,

Factor in tansport costs and those quotes aren't too far off. If it were me I'd stay local for a 500 quid difference. You'll need to make at least 2 trips and if you have any complications it'd be better to have your dentist nearby IMO. If it was twice the price then I'd obviously think differently!

Just had a consultation in Tralee.

For: Xrays + measurements, Implant into jaw + temporary plastic bridge is €2,500.

If the implant requires a graft it is €300 extra.

Then six to twelve weeks later the crown tooth is fitted to the implant.

The titanium crown is €1,200 and the zirkonium (spelling?) crown is €1,550.

So we're talking at least four grand. I know the dentist is of the highest quality btw.

Not sure what to do.

Any advice?

The implant could be for life...so I am sure you want it done by the best person you can get. In the short term it can seen expensive but long term if its done well you will save on remedial work. Good luck
