Dental Treatment Abroad

Hi me and my partner were looking into the costs of cosmetic dentistry. WOW!!!!!!!! Not cheap!!!!

My other half was looking to have porcelain veneers and myself to get my teeth whitened.
Well the costs in the UK are mad and it seems you can save as much as 60% getting it done overseas in Budapest for example.

It seems that there are a few websites in relation to having treatment done overseas for a lot cheaper and getting a holiday in the bargain!!!!! :rotfl:

Has any MSEs had any experience of this? Is the work af good quality?

Thanks

My friend in Brighton recently had several teeth knocked out during a game of football and one or two cracked/chipped. The quote for the dentist work in Britain was around £3000+.

He was out of work at the time, and had to put the costs onto plastic.

He checked on the internet and found a place in India that would do the work for about a third/half of the price, plus cheap flights and hotels. (He'd just been to India the year before for several months.) Making the total cost less than £2000 - £2500 and supposedly of a very high standard.

He went, had the preparatory work done - about 75 - 80% of total work needed - uncomfortable, not pleasant but no more. And all in all not a terrible experience. Plus short holiday out of it. He would have to return 6 months-ish later for new teeth to be installed and work completed.

He was unable to go back because of work commitments. When he recently went to a uk dentist for the work to be completed, he was told that all the previous work he had had done would now have to be undone as its not the correct standard or methods used. The bill now? (last week) £4000+

He's back in work now. Was it worth it? No.

As im making some research to do my cosmetic dental treatment in Hungary I've been looking at a few companies but its really hard to find out who are the best ones. This is a major and if not one of the best decisions in my life and I want to make sure I get it right with the right clinic!

Hello jorgeuk76,

Came across your post and thought I'd tell you my story about dental treatment in Hungary.

I've just completed the treatment and can assure you that Hungarian dentistry is 1st class.

I've been having my treatment over the last 9 months, I've had implants, Crowns, Bridge work etc. I've made three trips and saved over £12,000 compared to what I would have had to pay in the UK.:money:

I did much researching, as I guess you are. I scaled the internet and the press. I managed to narrow it down to 2 dentistsabroad.com and kreativdental.co.uk. After much discussion with my wife and speaking with each I decided to go with kreativ dental. I'm glad to say this was one of my better decisions.

I'm 60, so my wife and I travelled together for the 1st visit. I had my consultation and treatment plan drawn up. The service was good, my wife enjoyed the hotel so we decided that I would go ahead with the treatment. Initially I was shocked at the difference in Price compared to the UK.

The next 2 trips went as well as the first and for the first time in 25 years I'm the proud owner of a full working set of nashers!

I had my dentist have a look at the quality of the work and he rated it as good as anything he had seen.

To say the least Im a happy man.

I wish you all the best with the treatment you receive in Hungary

Good luck

Iain

This is because dentists on the NHS generally don't have the time to do them properly.

Then either they are accepting payment under false pretences, or they are crap dentists to start with, can you tell us which?

If you know this and your profession know this, and there are checks/audits are carried out by the relevant authorities every year, how many Dentists are struck off, disciplined or held to account...precious bloody few I am sure!!
