One thing to keep in mind is that there are many places around the world that have excellent dentists at far cheaper prices than you will get in the USA.

I know a few people in the UK who have travelled abroad for cosmetic dental work as it saved them thousands.

Edit - here's the kind of prices you get in Eastern Europe http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/private-treatment-abroad/which-co...

Though it may be cheaper for you to try and find somewhere in Central America, or the Caribbean.

Thanks. I've considered traveling abroad to save money, but I'm weary of the quality of work that I'll get. Once I'm ready to have work done I plan on closely examining my options.

St Martin in the French Caribbean has a good reputation. Private dental work is very good in many places around the world. I know two people who had their teeth fixed while they were in India and they both had excellent work done.

edit - You could maybe find another reason to travel, one that you can get some sort of help with. Say you want to study the background of The Martians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martians_%28group%29 and try to blag a flight to Budapest.
