At first like every other person who is seeking medical/dental treatment, in my case dental treatment, I looked around in the UK. After
visiting many different dentists and paying them a consultation fee every time which was usually over £100 I was told that implants was
an option for me but the cost to have such work done in the UK was just ridicules, over £2000 per implant and the cost of the tooth on
top of about £300 to £400 ponds. I had prepared to accept that wearing a denture plate was it, even though I had had it privately made
at the cost of over £280 it was unbearable, I couldn't eat or drink with it without having it dislodging at some time during a meal,
even simple things like whistling the dog was beyond the plate. In truth I hated it from the start and found myself wearing it less. So
with great scepticism I approached Agnes Tuba via e-mail who is the British – Hungarian UK Representative. I made an appointment and
went to see the dental practice. Agnes arranged every thing except flights. I was collected at the airport and taken to a very nice
reasonably priced apartment. From the apartment I was collected and taken to the surgery every time, The surgery was spotless and very
modern, in fact it would have put most dental surgeries I have visited in the UK to shame, all the staff spoke English and every detail
was explained and costs were all discussed at every stage leaving you in no doubt as to were you stood. After the usual consultation
that was free I was given the opportunity to have the implant at almost 1/3 of the cost in the UK. Well I couldn't resist and had it
done there and then. The procedure was quick and relatively painless, I had no problems after and maintained a strict oral hygiene
routine at all times. I was taken to and from the airport and to and from the surgery by taxi or by their own drivers and this service
is one they offer free a good saving yet again. I visited again after 4 months was collected and dropped off as usual and then again a
few weeks after that to have the tooth fitted, job done. My overall saving was about £1000, and now once again I can eat what ever I
like and whistle the dog as load as I wish. I now that if your reading this your in the same predicament as I was you read the stories
in the press about the UK dental association advising people not to go and have dental work abroad and stating horrifying facts, lets
face it its not in there interests for the clients to get a cheaper alternative the irony in my case was that the treatment I received
was by far superior to any treatment I have received in the UK. I would recommend to any person living in the UK and looking at paying
a fortune for dental work to go to them and try it after all the consultation is free the airfare is about £50 with a budget airline so
it’s still cheaper then paying over £100 for consultation in the UK. You have nothing to loose. I hope that this short account of my
dealings with the British – Hungarian medical service surgery is of help to you.
