How long will you be in Mumbai? Its the most expensive city in India and Dentistry is very expensive compared to the "rest of India". Send me a PM . I will dig up something. But good dentist appointments are difficult to get "immediately"

Are the dentists good and what are the costs compared to home (wherever that may be)

I have been traveling to several cities in the south and was "saving up" my dental work for Mumbai, thinking that bigger would be better. It sounds like I would have been smarter to have the work done in Hyderabad or Bangalore when I was there. I am in Pune now and will ask around.

Should I have crown and onlay work done here in India, or should I wait? Any opinions or help are sure appreciated.

I got some work done at a clinic located somewhere behind St Andrews Church in Bandra, Mumbai. I had a Root Canal, A Crown, 2 fillings and an extraction. The total was less than $100 US for the lot. The dentist spoke fluent english and had moved back from New Zealand. I lost his card but I am sure its pretty easy to locate him as he is the only dentist in that area.

freemanx,

if oldhippie's dentist charged those rates post-2000-AD, then he is really the cheapest. Try him out. If he is as good as it seems, even I will take the trouble to go all the way to Bandra.

There is a specialized breed called "implantologist". They charge Rs 4000 to 7000 per implant. oldhippie's dentist sounds like manna from heaven,
