When we arrived here I had a full check up with new dentist and he took xrays and thoroughly examined me. He produced a little booklet showing what I needed doing to bring me up to his standard. The total cost of the treatment would be $12,000. He said I had all sorts wrong and produced the xrays to prove it.
I am slowly getting it all done, but we do not have insurance so have to pay as we go. (early retired)
I feel I was totally ripped off in the UK, here the hygienist takes nearly an hour at each appointment, back in the UK it was just a case of polish and off you go.
The standard here is far higher than the uk, although the cost is very high.
