Would Going Abroad Be The Right Choice For Me When Considering Dental Implants?

Monday, January 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi I am 68 and my last remaining bridge has just come off due to the retaining teeth breaking up. I am missing teeth all around my mouth and now finding it difficult to bite and chew so I am currently looking to get a full set of implanted teeth. Access smile, Hungary and Polish smile, Poland are two dentists I am looking at.

Thursday, March 15th, 2012
Q.

why does an implant cost 4 times the amount it does in other countries. i want a nice smile and it seems i’d need to go abroad to get it,

Can you give me any advice about receiving implant treatment abroad?

Friday, October 21st, 2011
Q.

coul you please advise me as to the best place to recieve full dental implants abroad ,i have several teeth that are broken at the gumline but have not had them extracted yet as i thought this would start bone loss of the jaw and would make treatment more difficult.i am in need of a full set of implants on both upper and lower jaw and unfortunately,am a extremely nervous patient so would require a general anesthetic while undergoing treatment , only have a budget of approx 10000 pounds so going overseas is my only option, ive been told instanbul and hungary are very good but would value youre opinion and advise on how to start this procedure .

Would a bridge be able to replace my two front teeth?

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011
Q.

my two upper front teeth need replacing, would it be possible to have a bridge done to replace both teeth as like a 4 or 6 bridge unit, to make sure there is enough support on the outside teeth? I have heard of a person (dentist) who has had 4 front teeth missing and has had these bridged. She was unfortunately born with a cleft pallet. Can you please advise me? Alternately I would have to look into implants which is going to be costlly and painfull, and also time consuming because I was hoping to get this work done in Turkey.

A.
Thank you for your questions

What is the best way to straighten teeth abroad?

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I am 20 years old and had a train track brace in my teens. However, after forgetting my retainer on a 2 week holiday and chipping the front teeth, they have began moving back to the original place and i am unhappy with them. I have been looking into getting the invisalign treatment or even veneers on my 2 front teeth as i would feel worried that over time and the hassle of wearing a retainer for the rest of my life would make my natural teeth move back again. Please send me any information or advice you can offer on having this treatment abroad and the pros and cons. Thank you.

Can I keep my crowns when I have the rest of my teeth fixed?

Monday, February 21st, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Tennet,
I would like to improve my smile. I currently have 2 crowns (2 front teeth) which I had after a see-saw accident which were recently changed in Sweden (June 2009). They look great and I would like to keep them. The teeth either side of them I would like to be improved. My dentist in Sweden will not do this as it is for cosmetic purposes therefore I will need to go elsewhere. Will the new practice need to change the front 2 teeth or do you think it will be possible to leave them as I find it to be uneccessary due to cost and that I love the look of them already?
My second question is I have the option to have these improvements in either London or Portugal – from a cost / technology / qualified point of view which do you think would be the best option for me?
I appreciate you help with my questions very much.
Kindest Regards,

A.
