I imagine you have good bone with only 2 implants. The 34K Australian for all on 4 sounds about what you'd pay in Australia.

The materials cost much the same, but the labour and caps would be significantly less in the cheaper countries. You've also got to check that inferior materials are not being used. But the information about the fixed dentures is useful. Can anyone attest that the pins work at holding the lower denture?

@Craig *******

Huge price difference. I don't have dentures, but have researched them, and top dentures tend to sit quite happily in the roof of your mouth and are not that difficult to negotiate, whereas lower dentures are a different story altogether. Those with direct experience may however have a different tale to tell.

My Bangkok hotel accepted a photocopy of my passport (from my prior hotel) in lieu of a passport. Was not a problem. The passport had been stolen.

@Luke ********

Happy to meet up if there at the same time. But stories are best lived in the present than recalled from the past, although they do help to pass time over a beer.

If you think your youth is going at 34 and life is already full of regrets, wait till you hit 70!

When I flew them last year BKK - CM - BKK, Thai Smile were actually no more expensive than the cheap airlines. Depends on the day and the flight. Also depends on which airport is most convenient to fly into. I quite like AirAsia's in-flight meals. You have to pay for them, but they are quite tasty and reasonably priced compared to say Jetstar.

@Jae ******

Seriously? They are chalk and cheese. Food, drink and entertainment versus none of those things unless you pay for them.

@Henrik ****

No mention of musicians.

Just google it. Phuket has lots of dentists frequented by foreigners who stay for major work. Try 'smile'.
