I'm considering have a dental implant done overseas, probably
Budapest, where the savings are considerable as against prices here in
the UK.
I've seen plenty of positive testimonials from people who have had
similar work done (mostly posted by or on behalf of the clinics, so
its hardly surprising), but I'm looking to see if anyone has any
stories that go the other way. So far any negative publicity I've
seen
seems to come from UK dentists, dental associations and other parties
with a vested interest, along the lines of "yes, but what happens if
it goes wrong, and your dentist is in Budapest" (the answer to which
is that the clinic offers a guarantee that includes paying for travel
and accommodation costs back to Hungary, if necessary, or having the
work done in the UK and sending them the bill). Some of the
testimonials I've seen mention that their own dentists back in the UK
have been very impressed with the quality of the work done, and
apparently something like 1/3 of all Austrians cross the border into
Hungary for routine dental treatment. Can they all be wrong?
So, are there any actual patients who've had work done in Eastern
Europe and
then wished they hadn't? Was the problem with the quality of the
treatment, the materials, the clinic itself?
Regards
Brian
