Procedures
What people cross the border for
Each page covers what the procedure actually involves, how many trips it needs, and which dentists with a confirmed licence offer it. The number of trips is the detail most price comparisons leave out, and it is often what decides whether the trip is worth making.
Dental implants
A titanium post placed in the jaw to carry a single replacement tooth, with a crown fitted on top once the post has integrated.
What it costsAll-on-4 implants
A full arch of teeth carried on four implants, used when most or all of the teeth in an arch are gone.
What it costsAll-on-6 implants
A full arch carried on six implants, giving more support than All-on-4 where bone volume allows it.
What it costsFull mouth restoration
A combined plan that rebuilds both arches using implants, crowns and bridges in whatever mix the case needs.
What it costsDental crowns
A cap fitted over a damaged tooth to restore its shape and protect what is left of it.
What it costsPorcelain veneers
Thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change their colour, shape or alignment.
What it costsRoot canal treatment
