I'm a Happy Camper!
I'm a Kiwi and am of the age to have been on the wrong end of some failed experiments with the New Zealand
water-supply in my youth. As a result, my teeth turned to chalk and I developed a many-decades'-long phobia of Dentists, thanks, in
part, to the barbaric, slow-drill-wielding dental nurses who populated our schools back then!
I live in France these days and travel
a lot. So when it finally came time to "bite the bullet", I quickly dismissed the oh-so-expensive local and UK dentists and broadened my
[internet] search to such places as Thailand and India, Poland and Germany, finally settling on ANOTHER Budapest clinic... "No-Names,
No-Pack-Drill", but having visited their London premises, and after their follow-up, I was permanently discouraged! My wife did some
more digging and eventually contacted Ben at Kreativ, UK.
So, in March 2015 I spent my first "Dental Tourism" week in Budapest. I was
impressed with EVERY aspect of their operation, their staff, premises, the works... I had extractions, root-canals and implants and left
with a denture-enhanced smile that tided me over until September/October, when I returned for an intensive 3-week session. I ended up
with a mouth-full of crowns and bridges, top and bottom. They look and feel GREAT!
OK, so I'm STILL a dental coward, but am nowhere
NEAR as bad as I was! MY primary dentist happened to be Dr. Cristian Pilihaci, in whom I have SUPREME confidence... He is personable,
has a great chair-side manner and he can give me injections ANY day! (Well... perhaps not ANY!!) His final comment, when I left, my
having said I thought he was a Magician, was "No, I'm not... It's the Team". I thought that spoke volumes about the entire operation,
from the dental nurses to the reception staff and administrators, the unseen hoards in the background, right through to the Kreativ
Shuttle driver who, for many, is probably the FACE of Kreativ!
Strangely, I almost look FORWARD to my next visit (the free annual
check-up)... I've even threatened to take my wife ! She'll thank me for it eventually !
