I saw a few threads about going abroad for dental treatment in AAM. Thought that I would share my recent experience with you.

I was recently quoted €2000 by my dentist in Dublin to have a root canal redone and a crown put on the tooth. Expensive because it required 'endo dentistry'.

I was in France on holiday last month and thought that I would get a quote there. I popped into the local tourist office and asked the whereabouts of the nearest dentist, and they directed me to one a few doors away.

The surgery was 'state of the art' and the dentist spoke perfect English. He quoted me €650 for the entire job. I made an appointment for the folowing morning, where he redid the old root canal and took a cast for the crown (total 40 minutes). I made an appointment for the following week, and got the crown fitted. That only took 15 minutes. I then took the opportunity to get two fillings at €20 a pop. Completely painless procedures.

I would strongly recommend to anyone who needs work done to go into a local dentist, if they happen to be abroad, and get a quote. It doesn't interfere with the holiday, and in my case the saving nearly paid for the holiday itself.
 
Goodness! I paid €170 to have to fillings done here outside Rome - and it was a special price without vat.
 
Remember that you may well invalidate your travel insurance if you have non-emergency medical treatment while abroad. At a minimum, you won't be covered under your travel insurance for any issues arising from the medical treatment.
 
Hi there

a friend of my dad is just home from Turkey and he got a lot of work done over there and it cost him about €1,500 which would have cost him €7,000 or even more here. the card is at home if anyone wanted the number just give me a PM
 
As someone who has had a lot of dentistry in the last few years , for some reason the teeth gave up the ghost, the costs here are astronomical, made all the moreso when compared to other countries. I took myself (and the offending teeth) up north and managed to save a nice sum of money, even taking into acccount the sterling/euro exchange.
I would have no hesitation having my teeth seen to abroad, insurance cover or not.
