Should I Go Abroad for Cheaper Dental Treatment?
Q.
Hi there. I’m thinking of going to India or Korea for possible implant dental work. Is it possible to get All-On-4 work done there? Do you think I am taking a risk? Are the dentists there as qualified as every time you speak to a UK dentist? They always make you feel that the work would be vastly inferior (though they don’t actually come out and say it) if you should go any where other than the UK. I am so confused as I feel that dentists in the UK actually charge prices that are so expensive, and I cannot see why. I am so confused and the whole thing is getting me down with the conflicting points of view. I really would appreciate your expertise and opinion. P.S. Are you also very expensive? As I would prefer not to travel abroad, but the high prices of dentists in the UK leave me little choice.

Hi, thank you for getting in touch. Most things are cheaper in India or Korea, including health care, than they are in the UK. However if something goes wrong it can a be a nightmare to sort out. If it were me I wouldn’t go on the cheap for anything regarding my health. As for the high prices of dentists, only you can decide if they don’t offer the value you feel you deserve. The standard of dentistry in the UK is excellent on the whole and represents very good value compared to most developed counties.
