Answer 2

I've done that any time I am in Poland, it's cheap (compering to the US) and convinient. Do not listen to the people who are talking about quality of the service. Have you ever met the dentist which flatter the work of its precursor??? The result is the same as in the US, I do not see any difference, the teeth I've had done in Poland are still good, I just go to the dentist in the US for the new treatment.
If you go to the big city in Poland like (Krakow, Warszawa, Poznan, Wroclaw, Szczecin) you can find plenty of very good dentist who have private offices. The cost of a visit varies, depends on what you want to do, but basic service like filling should not exceed $50. And if they charge you more for that it means that they are ripping you off, but make sure what kind of service they perform.

Any non-third world country can have dentists providing excellent care. The only question I would ask is, how in the world are you going to find out which dentist in any foreign country is right for you? It's hard enough for people to find a good dentist in their own neighborhood where they can get recommendations from friends and co-workers. What are you going to do if you have trouble with your dental services six months after you return to the states?

One of my patients used to work for a major corporation in Eastern European countries. He would regularly send his executives overseas - to ME - to get their teeth fixed, because dental care in their countries was so far below our standards.

QUITE SERIOUSLY, two of my favorite and seemingly best qualified dental instructors in school were from overseas. One was from Iraq and the other from Iran. FAR from Iraq and Iran, as they were practicing in the USA, but they were trained in their homelands. You just can't say what country has the best dentists as a blanket statement.

Dr. Moncreif's suggestion to try to find US-trained dentists is a good idea, but I don't know how you would do that.

This article on medical tourism covering plastic surgery and Dentistry in Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, Hungary, Poland and other countries, should answer your question at least partially I hope. The article focuses on an alternative for the service provided by hundreds of medical tourism agencies in the USA and UK.
Plastic surgery and Dentistry in Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, Poland and Hungary.
Medical tourism also referred to as health tourism or health outsourcing means traveling to other countries to obtain cheap medical, dental, and surgical care. The exorbitant costs of healthcare in industrialized nations has led to the worldwide popularity of medical tourism. More and more people are traveling abroad as an affordable and enjoyable way to undergo plastic surgery and dental procedures.

Practically all medical tourism agencies, most of them located in the US and the UK, promote the dentist and the plastic surgeon abroad on the Internet. Those agencies have contracts with hospitals, doctors, dentists and plastic surgery clinics overseas. Using the service of medical tourism companies includes the fact that cross border medical facilities usually add 10-20% for commissions payable to the agency that refers the patient. That makes medical treatments more expensive than local pricing. Moreover patients cannot choose their own plastic surgeon or dentist. Usually it's the agency that selects the doctor or a limited group of doctors or medical facilities the patient can choose from.

Of course there is a "do it yourself" alternative. Some try to find clinics in Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, Hungary, Poland etc. without the use of medical agency services. But, researching an entire health industry in foreign countries seems to be time consuming, confusing and could be risky. Despite higher than local pricing of medical procedures it seems better to take advantage of the experience and expertise medical tourism agencies have.

However there is a new medical tourism trend finding its way on the Internet: do it half yourself after the agency has taken care of the other half first. This alternative is offered by the companies "Dentist Abroad SA" and "Plastic Surgery Abroad SA" both operating from Tijuana Mexico. For $15 the companies provide a thoroughly screened exclusive list of dentists, plastic surgeons, doctors, hospitals, cosmetic surgery clinics, dental surgeons, and clinics in Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, Hungary, Poland and several other countries. The service includes contact info, pricing, years of experience, working procedures, specialties and the necessary background information. Since there are no contracts, the companies claim not to receive any commissions. If this is true, then it makes treatments much cheaper and patients may have 100% freedom to choose their own doctor or dentist.

"Plastic Surgery Abroad" and "Dentist Abroad" were launched with the aim of assisting people around the world in exploring global healthcare options available to them. The companies claim that their two websites will help individuals to find medical possibilities and pricing abroad that they might otherwise never realize. The address of the companies is: Plastic Surgery Abroad SA and Dentist Abroad SA, Av. Madero 1120A, suite 1+2, Tijuana, Baja California 22000, Mexico.
