I am thinking about going abroad for a dental implant

Q. I am thinking of going abroad to get a implant and other work as it is a lot cheaper but a bit worried incase they dont do a proper job could you recommend anywhere i can check to make sure i get a good qualified dentist?

 
A. In my view you are right to be concerned about having an implant placed in another country. I would be concerned if something went wrong. How would I get recompense and how would the problem be solved. The cheaper cost is definitely attractive but when it comes to your health I would not take any short cuts. Unfortunately I cannot recommend a dentist in another country from a legal point of view.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.
