David Anthony Duance, Penzance, Cornwall:

My dentist in Penzance quoted me £9,500 for extensive dental work, and a dentist in Truro gave an even higher quote. A friend suggested that I try the Dentalcare Plus Implant Centre in Cornwall, and I was given an immediate fixed price quotation of £3,500. With the £6,000 that I saved, I bought a new car.

I have since visited my former dentist for a Scale & Polish and he has admitted that the standard of the prosthetic work is second to none. He was obviously incredulous when I told him how much it had cost me.
