Best place for some dental surgery

    I recently damaged one of my front teeth while working abroad. Went to a dentist immediately and was told that I'd need an implant. This will be covered with work. Upon X-ray he also informed me that I would need a complicated root canal on a nearby tooth very shortly.

    I've had a root canal before and it cost €1,500 in total. What I'm wondering is where would be best to get both done if possible and also is there any way I could get both done under works insurance to save myself €1,500?

    I'm not sure if I am reading this right, are you asking if you can claim for the cost of treatment on a tooth which was not damaged while working? Surely you are not asking how to commit insurance fraud?

    No I am not asking how commit fraud :eek:, I damaged a tooth and now an adjacent tooth needs root canal treatment (possibly from the trauma). There's no way for me to prove that it was also damaged so what I'm wondering is would it be possible for a dentist to put them both under the same bill for the insurance?

    If not then no problem. I'm just wondering how or if I can do both or will I have to pay even though there was no issue with the adjacent tooth before the accident.

    Ah, but there probably was- you just were not aware of it....
