I have had extensive dental work done in NZ born from necessity rather than for cosmetic reasons and have had both Crowns and Veneers done at great expense. I have struck dentists that all talk the talk and promise all sorts of guarantees on their work but when things go wrong (and they do!!) they are all care and no responsibility. Im now going to Thailand or India (Im still researching to decide which) to get work done at a much lesser cost than here. NZ dentists seem to provide no more warranties on their work than dentists offshore. Sceptical (above) talks off false economy and I say rubbish because I still have to pay through the nose to get NZ "quality" dentistry refixed less than 12 months after completion!!

I had a full smile makeover at Dentzz in Mumbai a year ago. I saved $80 000. I sent all my family and friends there. The work is far superior to anything on offer here and my brother is a dentist so I've had good advice! He says it's brilliant work, aesthetically and functionally.
