Denistry In China

[PhoenixRising]

We all know how expensive medical treatment is here in the USA. I need some dental work. My SO tells me that denistry in China is so much less then America. She was told by an American man that he saved over $3,000 on his dental work in China compared to the US. My dental work is not this extensive fortunately for me. I need two crowns put on. It hell to get old.

My question to her is: What kind of treatement can you expect in China. Has anyone had a dental experience in China?

Now that we've heard from the clowns ...

 

The quality of dental care varies widely in China. You can get excellent quality at a substantial discount over US prices.

 

My wife has had some bad care ... "extractions" of wisdom teeth by breaking them off at the gum line ... and some excellent work that our US dentist says is just fine.

 

Our daughter had excellent orthodontia at about 10% of the US cost.

 

I think it's reasonable to have dental work done in China if you don't have good dental insurance coverage in the US.

 

You need to have your wife shop around for quality (not price) and I'd also have a pre-work discussion with the selected dentist. If you're uncomfortable try another dentist.

PR,

 

I only have a short time before I go back to work. However, I agree wholeheartedly with Jim_ Julian, in response posts.

 

I will make a post later concerning the dental care in China vs the US. I will tell you this much. Dentists in US came up with a cure for my wife at the estimated cost $10,000. Their cure wouldn't have even solved the the disease. They were treating the symptoms and taking cash to boot!

 

I promise I will post later. The care that my wife received changed my mind forever.

Yes let me know Dave because I want Mom and daughter to have teeth checked out when here, might do it there before we leave. But daughter will need to see a dentist before she can go to school here anyway? We also have a new Chinese medical college here in Illinois might check it out, good day at work man!

It's interesting how American dentistry seems to have evolved into not much more than high pressure tactics to get you to pay for 'upgrades'.

 

I have been cornered way too often while in the chair, numb and ready for that crown impression and having an office manager hover over me trying to get me to go for that porcelain crown.

 

Just last month I spoke with Leiqin's dental office about their charge for her crown - $900 the girl said. I said phoey. We'll only pay for what our dental insurance will cover!!

Did they say OK?

Drs. Yee and Lee...Hong Kong dentist. The girl said OK. I have very clearly translated this to Leiqin, so that she understands too. And, I had better not be hearing of some bill for additional charges!

 

Leiqin does not like this "HK dentist" and I have assured her that after this treatment I will change her to an 'American' dentist (that I hope is NOT Asian).
