A Toothy Question

    I need to have two implants - and will have to sell my first born to get them done in Ireland.

    Anyone have any positive experiences in Hungary or other places where there are supposed to be renowned dentists?

    Sterling has taken a bit of a dip. Might be a good time to check out the prices up in Nordie land

    A friend of mine had a huge amount of work to get done on his young son, His girlfriend is Polish so they already knew a dentist they could use.

    They ended up saving about half, even after paying for three flights and they were delighted with the standard of care.

    I'd say it's a bit of a risk as it's going to be harder to get satisfaction if there are complications or you get or if you get some cowboy.

    wouldn't go further than Northern Ireland for such an expensive proceedure.
    do you really want to be having to fly to and from Hungary or Romania or somewhere if there's any complications?

    There are 2 Hungarian dentists who have practices in Killybegs and are excellent. Very keen rates also. You should Google them OP.

    Must have loads of work on so.

    I can just imagine a plumber refusing to reinstall a bathroom, because the last disaster was installed by a foreign national on the cheap.

    Remember irish dentists are in competition with foreigners.

    There was a 'dentist' operating in dublin a few years back who transpired to be completely unqualified. He literally butchered a lot of peoples mouths. Irish Dental Association did sfa about it.

    I've had two implants and seriously debated about going abroad. However, when it came down to it, I got both done in Ireland and very close to home and ironically, both worked out fairly reasonably priced as I could pay in installments and then claim for a bit of the costs on the med 1.

    It's not a light undertaking (I had complications after the first one, nothing to do with the work and all to do with my jaw bone) and being able to go back to my dentist, even in my lunch break, when I was having problems, was such a relief. If I had gone abroad, I would have been seriously freaked to be at home afterwards and in pain. I know some of the clinics abroad have follow up practices here, which is good, when I had my first one though, follow up wasn't as common hence why I chose an Irish dentist.

    The second one was an absolute doddle, the technology has moved on so much in the five years since my first one that the issues with my jaw bone didn't affect the second implant and it was like getting a big filling done.

    One piece of advice if getting implants here - prices vary greatly between dentists, sometimes for good reason, sometimes not. I really researched where to go and found a great dentist who is very good at doing them and he worked out a payment schedule with me, which was spread over a year.

    I really looked at going abroad but I am so vulnerable with my teeth, it just wasn't worth the worry and stress for me.
