I guess I am lucky up here in the north, for consultant appointment longest I have ever had to wait is 4 weeks for non urgent matter.

Here in Mississippi my dentist charges 1400 for a crown after my insurance it was 240 but that used up my insurance for a whole year! so nothing else better go wrong. Just grateful my job at Walmart offers me dental insurance.

Re: NHS Dentistry
Sounds about the same for a crown as it is here in Australia. I got most of it back through private insurance & was glad I took out gap saver. This is is an optional arrangement that gives you extra rebate towards the gap. Like you I cannot claim for another crown until next January. It runs January to January.

We were with HBF before we moved to the UK and although I didn't think it'd be relevant I asked them if we'd have to start private health cover from scratch if we moved back. That would have been the case, with the horrendous age loading that comes with it, but HBF allowed us to suspend our membership including our gap saver. Thank goodness for that, we can just pick up where we left off.

Laughing on the way to the bank... This costs about 200us where i am now, in the uk about 300us on the nhs i think. I recently had a dental implant, it cost 1200us all in.
