Which dental implant in Hungary surgery is the most reputable
To be honest I can only speak from our own experience, for years my wife was planning to visit a dentist for treatment, when she was in primary school she actually crashed into a fellow pupil and broke one of her top teeth.
It was never the same since that accident, not only that she had some teeth in the top of her mouth that needed extracting, she has many good attributes but a nice set of teeth wasn’t one of them.
Last year 2021 she made an appointment to visit her local dentist in Wexford, his examination pointed to a lot of complications with her teeth that would require dental implants and specialized treatment, he would need to refer her to someone else to get this done, the approximate cost for dental implants would be in the region of €15-€20,000.
Needless to say we were a bit taken aback by this diagnosis, the cost was not insignificant, we did think about a second opinion however trying to get a dental appointment with another dentist proved difficult. Luckily for us a good friend John just happened to call.
John explained that he had just returned from having dental implant in Hungary treatment, he explained that the practice was located just a 2-hour drive from Budapest airport.
Bone graft for dental implant in Hungary
He needed a bone graft and other dental work as well, John stated that he was well looked after beginning with a consultation and xray in the Hungarian Dental Implant Centre Wexford followed up by a treatment plan in Hodmezvasahely Hungary.
“Why did you go to Hungary” we asked, John stated that during his research with a local dentist in Wexford and two others one in Dublin and o e in Dundalk he managed to get three quotations for his extensive dental treatment, suffice to say he saved €10,000 by deciding on dental implant in Hungary.
Based on what we heard from John we made an appointment at Hungarian Dental Implant Centre Wexford, the lovely Angelika was there to greet us, she completed a panoramic xray, Doctor Tomas did an examination of my wife’s teeth, he talked it over with us, Dr Tomas recommended porcelain crowns not dental implants.
A few days later a thorough detailed dental plan arrived by email, we were astounded at the cost if the treatment in Hungary, we would literally save or pay €10,000 less for similar treatment in Ireland, it was a no brainer, in January 2022 we traveled to the state-of-the-art clinic in Hodmezvasahely to begin the week-long treatment.
Really happy
