Dental implants

Thank you Pamela, you’ve answered a question for me about having implants done in Hungary. A friend had them some years ago and he was pleased with the results and didn’t have any problems, but I would be concerned that there might be a problem, and then you would either have to return to Hungary, or ask your own dentist to refer you to a local implant specialist, so that may, as you say, turn out to be just as expensive.

We’ve just had a similar thread on this subject. I started it because I wanted to know if anyone on GN had had any experience of going to Budapest.
I decided in the end to chat to my dentist, he referred me to a local clinic and so far I have had the first consultation, just chat and x-rays. I’m off on the 21st for measuring etc. then I presume I get an appointment for the extraction and fitting the falsies. I’m having 4 £6300. £252/ year if I live to be 90.
I’ll have 4front teeth for Christmas. I’ll be able to use my teeth to eat anything without one breaking or falling out. Can’t wait.
I decided against Budapest because you have to keep going back for check ups to keep the guarantee valid so in the long run I decided it would be just as costly.

I am considering an implant but finding it hard to find a recommended surgery in my area. My dentist does nit do them .

I have the same dilemma. I Damaged my three front teeth in an accident years ago. I have had two caps since then but have been wearing a denture since the last one failed, and have had to have one of the stumps removed, so I’m either going to have to wear a denture for ever or brace myself and have implants. I’ve been told they would cost around £4000. This seems a lot of money, but like you I hate the nightly ritual I’d taking them out. I’m also worried that if ever I were ill and in hospital I might have to do without them, and I couldn’t bear any visitors seeing me without my front teeth!

Yes I’ve had one it took several visits and various procedures, not painful as the anaesthetics are so effective. Only painful bit is paying for it! But I’m definitely pleased I had it done and would do it again if necessary hated having a plate whilst waiting for it.
