flag UK woman gets dental implants in Croatia after NHS denied treatment; cost was less than UK private options.

flag A UK NHS worker, Sarah Wilding, traveled to Croatia for dental implants after being denied treatment for advanced gum disease despite years of checkups and appeals. flag Unable to afford UK private care, which ranged from £9,000 to £15,000, she chose Dentum in Zagreb, paying just under £17,000 for a full restoration including implants, temporary teeth, sedation, and a lifetime guarantee—significantly less than UK estimates. flag The procedure, completed in one day under twilight sedation, restored her ability to eat and speak, boosting her confidence. flag Dr. Andrej Bozic said over 600 British patients annually seek similar care abroad due to NHS delays, limited access, or high costs.
