I know the last post on this topic was over a mont ago but heres my 10 penny worth.
I had a crown done in England which I managed to break off biting a frozen chocolate bar.
It was replaced by a dentist here in Deltebre ( yes English people do really live out here) and they said they were not sure how long it would last. 6 years on and it´s still there, that´s longer than the original lasted.
Dentistry here is superior to that of the NHS. A report in an online paper NHS Dentistry was classed as third world quality.
The charges are going up every year, last year a check up and a hygenists visit on the NHS almost 50 quid.
