This is a tempting option for many people who choose to combine this with a short break at the same time. The thought of paying less for treatment is appealing and many patients are happy with the results but there are risks as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are issues to consider before doing so. This is not something to undertake lightly and plenty of research needs to be done before travelling to an overseas clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are risks and benefits with this option so do your homework and understand what you are paying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular procedures carried out abroad are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Dental implants<\/li><li>Crowns<\/li><li>Bridges<\/li><li>Veneers (and other cosmetic procedures)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Have realistic expectations about this treatment and you won&#8217;t be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ISSUES TO CONSIDER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few issues to think about before signing on the dotted line:CulturalCommunicationAftercareResearch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spend time researching clinics and dentists and ensure that they are registered and licensed. Check the qualifications of the dentist and that they are a member of a professional organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that the dentist and their staff speak English. Be aware of any cultural differences and how this may affect the dentist-patient relationship. If something goes wrong, will the dentist and staff explain this to you in a clear and concise manner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your own dentist beforehand. Obtain a quote and description of what treatment you need before making a decision. If something goes wrong whilst you are abroad and the clinic cannot put it right then you will need to seek help from a dentist in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And be aware that you may not receive all the necessary information which you would get from a UK dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think through all your options and discuss them with others before making a final decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going abroad for dental treatment is an option to paying for treatment in the UK.
