由于无法支付9 000至15 000英镑不等的联合王国私人护理费用,她选择了萨格勒布的丹特姆,支付了近17 000英镑用于全面修复,包括植入、临时牙齿、镇静剂和终身保障——大大低于联合王国的估计。
Unable to afford UK private care, which ranged from £9,000 to £15,000, she chose Dentum in Zagreb, paying just under £17,000 for a full restoration including implants, temporary teeth, sedation, and a lifetime guarantee—significantly less than UK estimates.
