I always believed that beautiful teeth were prohibitively expensive and honestly didn't dare dream about having them. Looking back, I wish I had access to this information 10 years ago - I would have taken action much sooner.
The text will be long because many people want to hear all the details 🙂 so I'll start with the facts to not torture those who don't like many letters 🙂
FACTS: My husband Vitalis and I travelled to Turkey to fix our teeth.
WHAT WAS DONE?
Indre:
· removed two unfixable/broken teeth (more precisely, their remains)
· inserted 4 implants · fixed 10 root canals
· put on 25 zirconium crowns (the plan was 24, but at the last moment I wanted one more)
Vitalis:
· removed 8 teeth
· sinus filling/sinus lifting
· inserted 10 implants
· After the first visit, Vitalis got temporary dentures to "go out in public" since he was toothless.
· During the second visit, he received porcelain dentures, which are recommended for patients without natural teeth. These consist of a steel framework with porcelain teeth mounted on top.
PRICE:
INDRE COST 5250 DOLLARS
VITALIS - 8000 DOLLARS.
Payment was made in 3 parts:
· Down payment: 1500USD before booking plane tickets in November
· During the first visit, 6500 USD in January
· During the second visit (after 4 months), 5250 USD in May
Included in the price (meaning we didn't pay extra for these):
· Plane tickets Houston-Istanbul-Houston for 2 people, 2 times (first in January, second in May),
· Hotel (first time 7 days, second time 10 days),
· Transport/Escort (from/to hotel, from/to clinic),
· Interpreter
· City sightseeing, little gifts 🙂, facial cleaning.
This is just a brief summary - the full article contains absolutely all the detailed information about how I analysed companies and where I searched. What exactly and when the doctors did each procedure. So if this is relevant to you, please read and share with those who might find it useful. I'm so thrilled with my teeth that now it's all I talk about 🙂
