      Only if you’re American and can pay 15k, the rest of us will wait 5 years… Have our appointment cancelled wait 4 more and by the time we’re assessed they will tell us we waited to long and there is nothing they can do for us.

      It took them 6 years to take my gallbladder out even with it causing horrid pain… I mean covid did happen in the middle but still diagnosed 2016 and surgery is 2021 is kind of fucked by any standards.

        As far as I know, no national health systems cover cosmetic dental work.

        Certainly both in the UK and in Portugal I always had to pay for it from my own pocket.

        Mind you, neither of those countries has anywhere near US prices even for private healthcare.
