Does anyone know a good American trained dentist - around SW London/Surrey area?

I've moved out of town and want a recommended dentist to sign up with. I heard American standards are way higher than ours here.

By the way one of the top tv programmes in the US is "Britain's Worst Teeth" - can you believe that!!

thank you in advance

My dad is a wonderful dentist in Surrey, but I'm not recommending him to you, you transatlantic snob

I know an american trained vet in Potters Bar

Actually - putting aside your implicit criticism of British trained dentists - Sweden is where it's all at in terms of dental expertise and innovation, so you should be looking for someone who trained there.

American training is no better than english training. The treatment in America is better (than the nhs) because you pay (a lo0 for it.

Well I have a delightful South African dentist, but I'm keeping his details to myself

expatinscotland · 17/09/2008 20:24

if i needed serious work on my teeth i'd go back to teh US, mainly because the work would be cosmetic (i'd like laser-guided implants) and on the whole cheaper in the US.

DarrellRivers · 17/09/2008 20:24

Oh he sounds lovely MB, I like South Africans, I find the accent v comforting

So you're looking for a dentist that has been trained how to be American?

Blandmum · 17/09/2008 20:25

LOL at the thought of malory wrapping up her dentist!

DarrellRivers · 17/09/2008 20:26

The dentist will be doing that Leoness

'whom', not 'that'.
probably.

ComeOVeneer · 17/09/2008 20:26

Well as a dentist I do take it personally. AlsoI dislike false information!

expatinscotland · 17/09/2008 20:27

i had a S. African anaesthetist i wanted to marry because he got after them for not giving me any fluids after 24 hours of labour despite having inserted a cannula when i had the epidural 10 hours before.

and he chewed them out for not calling him sooner to top up the epi as i was in agonising pain.

and he also whispered, under his breath, 'these people sometimes drive me insane.' at the time, i could relate.

Blandmum · 17/09/2008 20:27

I also have a Sounth African plumber. farking hell, but that man is hot. He could clear out my pipes any day of the week....

.....but I digress

nervousal · 17/09/2008 20:28

Our crap teeth have nothing to do with the standard of dentistry - got to do with the fact that we don't brush our teeth and can't find an NHS dentist.

DarrellRivers · 17/09/2008 20:28

I knew a gorgeous SA anaesthetist too expat, he was called Malcolm [swoon]
