FAQ
Here are some of the questions most frequently asked by our clients. If you have any further questions or clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us.
1. How much money can I save?
Around 50-60% of the costs in the UK! See details at Prices.
2. Do doctors and assistants speak English at the clinic?
Our doctors speak several languages, including English and German.
Yes. We accept payments in British pounds both at the clinic and at the hotel.
4. When do I have to pay my dentistry bill?
After the treatment, either in cash or by credit card.
Every year, several thousand Swiss, Austrians and Germans, as well as hundreds of Italians and other Western Europeans come to Hungary for dental treatment.
6. What are your guarantee policies?
There is a written guarantee for crowns, bridges (5 years), inlays (5 years), full (1 year) and partial dentures (3 years), fixed-detachable case and implants (5 years), fillings (2 years). Naturally, the guarantee is valid only in the given clinic and the work is carried out there (annual check-up).
7. How long do I have to stay in Hungary?
Usually for a week. Some treatments may require more time, in which case the client is recommended to stay for about 10 days. Such treatments are: fixed-detachable case and constructing the implants (including second operation and construction) but that is usually necessary only for the second treatment in Hungary.
8. What can I get done in a week?
The dentists can complete - if no complications occur - about 10-12 crowns and, additionally, a couple of fillings. It also depends on whether there is an inflammation in the mouth cavity and how the patient reacts to the treatment. You will get a treatment plan after the first consultation with the dentist. Note: In case a tooth is extracted but work still needs to be done, the second treatment will only be carried out after sufficient recovery time.
9. What kind of materials are used in Hungary?
In Hungary the same materials are used as in the UK or in Western Europe, from Germany, Austria, England, Switzerland, Japan and the USA.
10. What happens if I'm allergic to certain kinds of metal?
The most frequent allergies occur from nickel and palladium. However, these two metals haven't been used in the materials for teeth for about 10 years. However, if you are allergic to other metals, please inform your dentist about it. The most common alternative is bio-gold (BIOCCLUS 4 by Degussa, Germany). BIOCCLUS 4 includes: gold (Au) 85,8%, zinc (Zn) 0,5%, platinum (Pt) 11,0%, tantalum (Ta) 0,3%, indium (In) 1,7%, rhodium (Rh) 0,7%.
11. I still have amalgam fillings and I'd like to get them removed. Can I get it done in Hungary, as well?
Yes. The Clean-Up-System from the USA is used at the clinic in Hungary. It is the most effective method in the market. After removal of the amalgam filling, a couple of treatments are possible: depending on the size of the cavity, a new light-hardened filling, an inlay or a crown can be made.
12. I'd like to preserve the body of the tooth but I need to have crowns. What shall I do?
In this case golden crowns with a porcelain cover is the most sensible (BIOCCLUS 4-gold-alloy by Degussa).
13. I need implants. What do I have to do? How is this treatment carried out?
For more information about implants, please look under Patient information.
14. Do I need any special insurance?
We recommend you seek the advice of an insurance agent regarding all travel risks.
15. I have a chronic medical condition. Will it be a problem to go to Hungary?
Not necessarily. Still, depending on your type of illness, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor for a letter stating your medical condition to be given to your dentist. It's very important that he should be informed about your illnesses, medication, and other relevant details as early as possible, so that you can receive the safest and most suitable treatment.
