• I actually do need some expensive dentistry done at some point. Was it literally the same dentist?!

    The Spanish dentist my dad had also has a practice in Barca. I don't know for sure if he is still there, but yes. Exactly the same guy who was doing the rest of his work in London did it in Barca.

    From what I remember the reasons for the reduction in cost were:

    • Surgery required general anaesthetic – so anaesthetist + surgeon + premises/etc. were all cheaper
    • He allowed filming and student viewing.

    That practice is very good value. The service can be a bit Ryanair at times and obviously going on Sat mornings is ramajamed. But the actual treatment my folks have got has been better than our old family dentist who's prices just seemed to keep rising at a ludicrous rate*.

    There was also a piece on R4 a while back about East bloc dentists having temporary practices over here. So there must be quite a lot of options.
