1 lovely week in Budapest.
I am rather an experienced user of international dental treatment. My originally german teeth😂 have over the years got UK, Australian, Norwegian, German, Polish, Vietnamese,pakistanian, russian...dental „influence“. I went to Budapest because I had not been there for many years. And secondly since my planned stay in Saigon in 10/21 had been cancelled due to Covid.
I came to Budapest with clear expectations regarding what crowns should be replaced. I have a set of very nice upper and lower veeners from Saigon. 4 of the veneers got heavily damaged due to too much pressure. Both 5th on lower jaw. The idea had been to get crowns on them to become more stable in the occlusion zone. Dental clinic does not veneers because they primarily consider them too unstable.
In general Dental clinic seems to focus more on durability in their work compared to primary cosmetics. This is important to know in case you would expect the rather typical thin asian dental work. Dental clinic uses quite some extra circon support material on the innerside of the crowns. They also might suggest connected crowns over several preparated teeth for increased stability. The reason might be that their usual customers rather come with really complex procedures like 6 implants upper and 6 implants lower jaws and complete jaw works. I am just an easy customer😉 with all together 8 crown exchange.
The preparation had been done on one evening session with consecutive anesthesia in all 4 quadrants. Little heavy but ok for me.😉 Important to know that Dental clinic does not provide temporary prosthetic for the 4 working days waiting time up to inserting the crowns. For me it was ok since I just changed crowns on the side and behind. And the temporary plastic stuff usually takes many hours and is not that comfortable anyway.
Overall I was satisfied with the result. On the day of crown insertion there had been some deviation in colour and shape one of the very visible teeth. The Dental clinic CEO Margaret drove with med directly to the dental lab in order to adjust the colour of the tooth. This had been succesful- my plane went late the same day- and the result was ok as well.
Dental clinics offers also a hotel service at normal hotel rates. This applies certainly mostly to the patients with really compulsory treatment who should stay in the vicinity of the clinic. Implant patients with necessary pain treatment.
Overall I can recommend Dental clinics. I my case I saved about 3500 Euros compared to Germany. And I spent one week in very nice Budapest- So maybe minus 1500 Euros anyway😉.
I would suggest that if your insurance does not cover free dental treatment like in Scandinavia that from 4 crowns up Budapest could be a good solution. When it comes to lots of complex implants it is anyway a good solution. Usually you will meet a dentist with lots of implant experience behind him/her. So the implant quality might even be superior compared to your dentist at home.
