How a 59-year-old from Manchester restored his entire mouth at Elonix Clinic, saving over GBP 18,000 compared to UK quotes.
Richard came to Elonix after years of dental neglect. Multiple old crowns were failing, several teeth had deep decay, and he had significant bone loss in his upper jaw. Three UK dentists quoted him between GBP 28,000 and GBP 35,000 for comprehensive treatment. At these prices, Richard felt he would simply have to live with his deteriorating teeth.
After researching options abroad, Richard contacted Elonix Clinic through WhatsApp. He sent his panoramic X-ray and photos, and within 48 hours received a detailed treatment plan outlining every procedure, the materials to be used, and exact pricing. The total: EUR 14,800 -- less than half the cheapest UK quote.
