Dentistry, crowns.

Re: crowns

I would have no hesitation in going to Eastern Europe. There is a dental practice where I think one of the dentists is Irish and you go over for a week or two and they do the work for far, far less than Ireland or Great Britain. I have been to the North for crowns a few years ago and have had them done here as well and there is no difference in the quality. Eastern Europe wasn't an option in those days unfortunately but I would have gone if it had been - and made a holiday out of it.

Dentistry,Crowns

I have been reading this with interest as I am an American who will be moving to Ireland soon and hubby & I are always under dental care. I mentioned this to my dentist and his advise was to have my dental work done in Spain or Germany because either would be excellent care and excellent training to become dentists and not have it done in Ireland or the UK. Sounds like this is true from reading this thread. Would either of those countries be a good option? Thanks
 
tax crown

Are crowns tax deductable ? Can VHI assist in the cost ?

Is it true that if you spend more then a certain amount on doctor/dentist (say 200 euro), that you can claim the rest off tax or thru VHI ?
 
Re: tax crown

Yes they are tax deductible. Some of the work done by a dentist is tax deductible but you need to get a list of what is and isn't allowed - a dentist should be able to give you this. VHI cover emergency treatment but I think there is a new plan to cover dental care but I'm not sure what this covers and whether it is BUPA and not VHI who do this. I've got most of my work done in the Dental School/Hospital but you need to be referred by a dentist. I got in through an emergency situation.
 
crown - 10 years

My dentist told me that a crown (€700) would only last 10 years before he would need to replace it - is this right ?
 
Info

Just got a quote from Dr Sinead mchill, Enniskillen for 4 crowns at 1,800 euro.

Also got quote today from my own dentist costing 3,200 for same procedure. Worth taking the spin up the north i think.

Re: Info

sueellen,
See earlier reply in this topic for details of Enniskillen dentist.
 
Re: Info

My wife was recently quoted EU900 in Maynooth for a crown. She had one done last week in Newry for EU330.
 
Please do not go to Cavehill, I was fleeced and I was so dissapointed because my flatmate got great value there. I was charged £289 for two extractions, one filling and a hygenist I only saw for a bare five minutes. Thre is a website called www.dentalhealth.org.uk they are a non profit charity and they can give you a list of dental charges for both NHS and Private I wish I'd known that before agreeing. I hear thought that Dr. Enhill in Enniskillen is great!
 
Does root canal work always necessitate a crown? I have been quoted 1500 euro for a root canal?crown I have to get three done. so I b talking 4500 euro, Galway area.

I'm just back from a week's holiday in Crakow. While there I went to a dentist recommended by another AAM poster. Got two crowns and 5 fillings done for a total cost under €900.00. The standard was way above ours - dentists in Poland are trained in America. The time I spent in surgery was 7 hours - 2 1/2, 3, 1 1/2. I would definitely go back if I had a number of things to be done.
 
Can you please tell me the name of the dentist in Crakow, & how you go about it? Have been also considering Budapest, there was a prog on the radio about dentists there ... many thanks, camille
 
Same here I need to get a couple of root canals and crowns done my Dentist in Dublin has just quoted me €1900 each (another small step forward for his next Porche or Ferrari no doubt), so I would be very interested in any recommendation either for the North or Poland.

Thanks
 
Anyone got updated prices for a Crown in Enniskillen or equivalent.
Just paid €150 for a temp one, need a permanent. Bloke is charging €800 more.
 
Hi All,

As this thread is a little old, i would like to know if anybody has any recent experience regarding crowns also,

My partner was quoted €800 per crown

Is it still worth looking up North,

Thanks

I visited a dentist in Newry this week where we discussed alternatives to getting a crown on a front tooth - without getting into the medical details, I'm having some bleaching treatment instead to improve the look of my teeth.

During the conversation, he mentioned that the proposed treatment was "better than a £300 crown".....so yes, it might still be worth it to have a look up North!
 
Thanks Gipimann,

We were looking at the below dentist,

http://www.gentledentalclinic.com/fee-guide.php

Lava Crowns = £400 (€438) - Astonishing the difference in price compared to €800 here. We are talking practically half price.

I know this has been discussed on many different forums but wow, why would anybody have dental work done here when you can drive an hour to the North from Dublin? And if travelling further from Dublin you could still stay the night and relax up North.
 
Hi all,

I am looking for some help here. I was playing a football match about 4 months ago and I had 1 of my front teeth knocked out completely. I recently visited barrington's hospital were I was quoted wait for it.. 3500 euro to have a titanium bar inserted into the gum and a crown attached to it. I have health insurance with quinn health care formally bupa. I have the essential plus 1 and I was told by the doc in barrington's that none of the 3500 cost would be covered by my health insurance.

Does this price sound right..

Any help would be great.
Thanks.
 

The price seems a bit on the high side. I got one of my back teeth replaced with an implant last year, and it cost me €3200 with a specialist in Dublin 4.
You can claim back tax relief on the cost, make sure you get the Med2 stamped.
