I travelled from the UK for root canal treatment, as my English dentist charged me £109.50 to tell me they wanted £2280 to do a second root canal treatment on two roots and fit a crown (and was vague about whether this would be effective as the x-ray wasn't clear) or £276 to extract the tooth.
I am completely delighted with the treatment, which came to £1,050 for x-rays, a 3D tooth scan, a second root canal treatment on two roots, a root canal treatment on a third root that had been missed in the UK, and for the crown. The only element of the treatment that was more expensive than it would have been in the UK was the x-ray and 3D tooth scan, and it is particularly fortunate they they do better x-rays and 3D tooth scans were available as it was these that showed that there was an extra root that had been missed with the root canal was first done, and that the proposed UK treatment would have been to no benefit at all.
