Just hoping its not dearer than the estimate!

WOW..........that is expensive....it sounds just like what I will need.I still have a milk tooth which is now causing problems,so think it needs to go.
I do have dental insurance which will cover most of the cost..thank goodness.

Thank u for letting me know.

I've been quoted £1,000 and I know my insurance only gives me back about 1/3 of what I pay out - so, like many other people these days, I have a gap. Luckily not right in front.

Dentistry in the UK is completely out of control.

I have to agree about dental costs being out of control...........was this quote from a local dentist..[thurso/wick]??

If costs are reaching £1000 have you investigate the growing dental holiday scene for cheaper dentistry. It may havebeen hit by the weker pound but might still be worth a look.

Here is one link - there are many more

Thurso. I go there as dare not be without a dentist and I'm still about 3,000 down on the NHS waiting list. Probably be long past needing a dentist by the time I've climbed up that.

Thanks Bill for links - not sure I could even afford going abroad just now and anyway, we shouldn't have to! I blame the Govt.

naturally, that wretched new contract that dentists had to sign up to. Things were bad enough before but that just seemed to make it worse.

None whatsoever but it is not a tourist area and I go with friends I stay with. It is not as posh as here but thats fine with me everything is clean and sterile and not one problem. I got a tooth capped for £20 last time I was over. Plus I love the fact that when I get a jag it is a normal small syringe none of this giant metal thing

Wow what a great price!

It is an awful long way to go though if you have any problems though.

Sadly, I can't travel abroad due to ill health anyway.
