Thanks

And another question i have...if your child's needs brace can you claim this on your health insurance? Because i am sure i read somewhere that it cost one family £7000 for their kids braces :scared:
And sorry for adding to your thread!

Can't answer either question but I had a filling fall out about two days after we got here. Finally got an appointment last week. Just an injection and a filling cost me $150. :scared:

Cannot help on your specific request but I need an crown in the new year and was quoted approx $1500 for the work.
I also had 2 fillings on Tuesday and they were $150 each but I paid $20 each after using my NIB card.

A crown just cost me $1000. I claimed $400 back on my insurance.

Check out individual refunds on private medical they are different per scheme.

My kids cost 5K and 8.5K individually and reclaims about a third per child.

3 treatments for a root canal filling and drainage just cost me $750. (thats not including the $150 needed for the bleaching!)

A filling was $150. Xrays $45 and a check up $30.

Dentistry is very cheap in Thailand, we know a few people who go over every 6 months or so for major work. Porcelain crowns etc, were quoted £15,000 in Uk and cost £2,000 all in for complete mouth! and flights from Oz are cheap-Worth a thought

My mum lives on the Gold Coast & she has told me that mybrothers braces were NOT recoverable via Medicare. Also that only a teeny amount is reclaimable for dental via Medicare. She has rec'd to us that we take out extra medical insurance for dental.

Also Manila.

I knew a lady, many years ago, who found it was better to fly to the UK and have work done on the Nationall Health than to have her mother locked up in a dungeon as secutriy for a huge loan.

Hi

If its the (screw in) cosmetic teeth its $4,500 per tooth :scared: I was at a cosmetic dentist the other day and thought it would be nice to have them but NOT AT THAT PRICE :( I am on the 457 Visa so have health cover with IMAN so going to see what I can claim back.

I paid $280 for the kind lady to take out one tooth and abit of a root (that was left in from my UK dentist) on another - just wish the god damn swelling would go down :rolleyes:

I think a trip to Thailand is in order :)

My UK dentist quoted £2500 for one of those........ I declined.
