dental work

[NoneYa 73]

After I became involved with the woman I now love, I asked her how was her teeth? She told me she needed some work. We decided that the cost of dental care would be 1/4th it would be in the U.S.. When in the Philippines, I went with her to pick out the dentist she began her first dental treatment today. She will get at least one implant. I brought her some dental floss on my trip and now is using it on a daily basis.

I hope you guys are investing in your wives teeth first thing. Teeth that are unattended will eventually cause infections will eat away at the jaw bone.

Do you have any stories ?

I am not buying her a ring until she gets here but I am paying for a ring in dental cost while she is in Cebu. Ouch !!!

My hubby had to have extensive work done when he arrived. Be careful who you use in the home country. HE had a lot of work done by "reputable" dentist but when we got here they had filled ALL of his cavities with temporary fillings and we had to have them all re-done. That and five root canals later.. i hope you have a good dental school in your town!

We went to one woman dentist but she said we would have to go to another place to get the implant. We did go there and met with the woman oral surgeon. I could tell by her knowlege and just the way she evaluated her that she knew what she was doing. I decided to have the oral surgeon do most of the work if not all of it because she seemed so good. I found out in converstation that the oral surgeon is the teacher for the dental school too. My honey had her first tooth pulled and seven filings today and she requires more work. I believe the oral surgeon is in IT Park in Cebu if I remember right but I will email my fiancee and ask her name so if I do not reply, ask again and I will give you her name.

Generous I am but caring and sincere as well. Total cost for the work will be around $ 3,500 or 150,000 peso but it would be at least four times that in America.

I think this is the surgeon. Call there.

My husband got a dental implant in the US and it was $2500. It would not be $16,000 in the US... at ALL. Maybe he got some other work done too... but something seems off to me. Good luck.

The oral surgery in the US for the implant is $ 2,500 but that does not include the cap, not in a major city in Florida anyway. You will still need the tooth to go on top of it which is more expensive than a normal cap so I believe it cost around $ 3,700 for an implant with the cap on top. I know I am not far off as I've had my share of work including one of these here. A root canal here is around $ 1,200. I don't want to list the procedures but I am pretty sure it would be three times more here but I think it is closer to four times more but I don't know where you got $ 16,000 from.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

All right, as long as you did your research. My husband's $2500 included the cap in NY. It's all done and he loves it. I did bad math to your 4 times $3500... $14000 not $16000.

I want you to know, I reported your thread (because of the title).

I believe this is a deliberate attempt to insult Filipino people.

I am an American. My parents paid for braces to straighten my teeth. DO ALL AMERICANS NEED DENTAL WORK?

Phew....how can some1 be so obtuse..?

My wife is from Indonesia and has been in the U.S. for about six years. One of the first things I did for her was get her dental insurance. After her first checkup (ever), she had a deep cleaning, one crown and four fillings. And it would have been expensive without the insurance. Since that time she had a wisdom teeth removed.

I was married to a Russian many years ago. She had bad teeth, also.

Get your new brides health and dental insurance, both. Lack of insurance plus medical or dental expenses can be very expensive.

Care,

Bill

Implants are like Cars. Costs can vary greatly depending on if they have to do extras, like bone grafts, etc. It can go over three easily. Heck I had a crown come off a tooth that already had a root canal the other day and it was over 800.

Last time I went to the PI my dentist told me that if I had a tooth act up over there, that the Philippines had a reputation for having some good dentists.

It's fair to assume that loved ones coming from 3rd world countries will need dental and medical work.

My wife's family possess flawless choppers. Brilliant white and perfectly aligned.

Dental and medical work is not limited to 3rd world countries....it's global.
