Hi guys,
Has anyone here gone foreign to get some dental work done? I have heard that it's a lot lot cheaper to go Eastern Europe and even to Germany than it is to get work done locally in Ireland.

It is, definitely. Poland has good, well trained dentists and it's very cheap to get dental work done there. A root canal and crown in Dublin, for example, can cost upwards of €2,400 whereas the same in Poland would typically cost about €800.

If you didn't want to travel that far afield, you could always try this guy just over the border in Newry: Cobweb Solutions Ltd

Thanks Ken, have you used him before?
Is that their website? It looks like a parked page for an IT company to me.

'Tis dentistry I'm looking for biy, not backup systems, like!

I have an image of what I was getting when I visited their site.
They must have some DNS issues or something.

Let us know how you go. I'm interested in getting some teeth whitening done in Poland or similar.

I have contacted two Dentists in Northern Ireland and they quoted:
3,000 Euro and 1,800Strl for an inplant. That's still a bit pricey...

Well, not too pricey but it's about the same as the quote I received from the Dublin Dentist which I went to. I was expecting NI to be a fair bit cheaper. When you add travel and time off work it's probably not worth going to NI.

What are you looking to get done Cormac? My gf is from Slovakia. She needed to get braces done, was getting quoted ridiculous prices over here so got it done at home for a fifth of the price. Now she flies back once every 3 months (cheap flights) to get them checked.

I need to get an inplant put in place where I previously had some root canal work done.

I'm checking on Polish prices at the moment. One of the guys from work lives in Lodz and he is checking prices with his local dentist. Hopefully he speaks fluent English (the dentist).

I wouldnt trust an Irish dentist...
One day they told me I needed my tooth taken out, which I did, when I went to get it done they told me I needed work done on about 4 other teeth, I thought to myself "why didnt they tell me that the last day when they done the scan and told me I needed my tooth out...", so I said no way hosay!
They where trying to get 70 euro out of me multiplied by about 5 or 6 weeks of treatment...350 euro+..... that was over 2 years ago...
They charged me 70 euro for the scan. They kept harassing me with phone calls to come down after me refusing.
So I got my tooth taken out after a scan, over in Wales for 40 sterling, after I was informed my wisdom tooth will grow into the place my bad tooth used to be..which it did.
My teeth are grand to this day.

You wouldn't trust a dentist because of that? I wish I could say the same and for that reason.

I've had a phobia for years about going to the dentist and couldn't cope with my last toothache. Decided to visit a Polish dentist charing 80 Euro for an extraction but she ended up ripping off half my molar along with my gum and refused to continue cause she is was too afraid. Its now costing me a good chunk of money to have it fixed by a specialist and I'm looking at 6+ months recovery time for the gum.

Cormac, good luck at the dentist.
