After successful implant surgery - a massive 6 of them (long story but all very much needed), I now face the prospect of paying for the crowns.
In addition to a couple of other crowns.
Had atrocious dental treatment when growing up and no end of problems since then although I don't smoke, drink much and eat very little in the way of sweet stuff. Also brush meticulously but the structural problems never really go away unless you do something about them.
Oh yes, and needing orthodontics on bottom teeth - rather crooked. But that's for later, obviously.
Have insurance with Simply Health but, as some of you may know, now fairly minimal. My dentist, although very good, charges an arm and a leg for anything and with reduced hours at work, will find it difficult, even impossible to pay these future bills. Even if one crown at a time.
Does anyone know of any insurance/pay back companies that pay up well crowns? Anyone experience of dental work abroad? (My dentist thinks that would be folly - a vested interest, perhaps or legitimate concern.) Anyone know of any reasonably priced dentists in the West (or East) Sussex/Hampshire areas or anywhere else in the SE?
Suggestions very gratefully received - thanks.
