I want to contact an English speaking dentist in  North America,
Central America or Europe to provide the highest quality porcelain
crowns, bridges and fillings with about 1-2 week turn-around at a
fraction of USA cost. Target price example: US$800 for 5-tooth
porcelain bonded to semiprecious metal.

Hello Za,

Unless you want to individually contact specific dental providers, the
web seems to offer you only one option to find the services you are
looking for. At Medicine Online you may bid for cosmetic dental
procedures in a sort of reverse auction format. You submit your
requirements and providers respond with a bid to perform services.

If you are unable to find a provider by using Medicine Online,  you
can contact a dental association and request a referral. Although I
doubt any dental association will be willing to discuss fees with you,
they can put you in touch with providers in various parts of the
world. You would then have to contact the dental provider directly to
discuss fees for services.

Below is a handy link to let you calculate local dental costs.

you are looking for!

Hello za-ga
.
I looked but it is quite difficult to make an apples to apples
comparison.
As published price lists are not directly comparable and delivery
times are missing from the tables.
.
Your target price example of a 5 tooth porcelain bonded to semi
precious metal is not a common priced product to compare.
.
however here are some links which may be of limited help.
.
http://www.costech.co.uk/prices.html x1.5 for USD
http://www.dentacraft.co.uk/pricelists.htm x1.5 for USD
http://www.atlanticdentallab.com/svc_pricelist.cfm
http://www.lifelikeinc.com/price.htm
the last link has no prices but just shows some of the trade names of
the products
http://www.inet-serv.com/boos/crnprods.html
.
sorry I was not successful in sourcing price comparisons with your
target price example.
.
kind regards
.
