The private dental clinics in Cardiff quoted £16-1800 for the surgery
Luckily l knew the receptionist who told me about a private dental clinic on Chepstow Rd Newport
I gave them a call and after a consultation was quoted £600
Apparently it would have been the same dental surgeon who works out of Moriston Hospital
Google the clinic it’s bound to still be there if you want another quote

Apart from the stitches for the bone graft, it was fairly straightforward and comfortable. I can't see how that process can be reduced to a couple of weeks (even if no graft is needed).

This has been the exact sequence of events for me but didn't require the bone graft.

I know someone that went to Hungary - and like you said it was a hotel with a hospital above, thermal springs, health spa type place etc
22k quoted in the UK, 11k quoted in Hungary. He took his laptop and worked 'from home' over there

Poland’s health standards are good. Cheap, too. They are really good on sports science too. I used to pay £170 for a cryo-chamber visit in London back around 2014. In Poland, £50.

I had my tooth extraction done in Peru. £150 it cost me back in 2006 in my six months travelling South America. Not the most confident going in, given how ropey the rest of the country is. Dental standards were far better than the UK and dentist’s English was perfect, although I could natter away in Spanish with them.

Cuba I had some minor tooth work done as well as a top third of my front gnasher split when I accidentally bit on a mango stone - dental service is part of their health service. Unbelievable health standards there, although rest of country’s services is rickety as Steptoe’s shop.
