Dental Treatment Hungary
Hungary and Budapest are well known in Great Britain for their dental clinics and low costs. That’s why we as dentists attend seminars there and work in a close working dental relationship. We have learnt a lot from visiting their dental clinics. On a whole, I found that the dental clinics that I visited were clean and modern. On the other hand, I did get the feeling that I was being “pressure sold”, sometimes misunderstood and bossed around. The treatment was good, the service poor.
Average Hungarian dental treatment costs and prices:
- Budapest, Hungary / Bratislava,Slovakia
- Ankylos Tooth Implants £510 / £399
- All ceramic zirconia crowns £350 / £299
- Ziconia veneers £350 / £297
Apart from 10-20% higher dental costs than Slovakia, we have found that the dental clinics serving Brits are often done on a “conveyor belt” system and lack the personal touch. Often their dental lab work is second rate and not done “on-site”, and none of the hungarian dental clinics actually had British staff working full time in the clinic.
Some of our recent patients that we “rescued” from unfinished dental work done in Hungary complained of unfriendly appointment times, hidden costs and charges, and slow or poor communication with their booking agents in London.
Many dental clinics have agents in the UK pushing people to go to Hungary and Budapest who unfortunately know nothing about dental treatment abroad and are simply trying to make a “fast buck”. Make the right decision and choose a dental clinic with excellent dental results, a long history of working with UK patients and world-class dentists.
Enjoy our relaxed, individual approach. You’ll be glad that you did. You certainly aren’t just “some teeth” to us.
Sincerely,
Daniel Shaw & Dr. Mark Salka

Hi
I am a woman of 47 with significant number of filled teeth, both front teeth extracted in December 2010 and insufficient bone to provide an implant without bone grafting. I have not had good mouth hygiene in the past but have avoided gum disease, and the reason I needed to have the teeth extracted was due to an injury I had at 15 years old when my roots were cracked and the teeth flooded with dentine. Despite this my teeth were fine, no abscess or toothache, but my dentist was concerned that they were insecure and advised me to plan for treatment. After so long there wasnt any bone above those teeth, nor an obvious canal in either tooth.
I had investigative root canal surgery which failed to find any canals large enough to fill so the specialist surgeon had to advise loss of the teeth asap as his surgery had further weakened the teeth. The bone graft prognosis isnt good according to another specialist whose report I have, probably due to my history of mouth hygiene, certainly I fear the thought that forgetting to brush my teeth could lead to bone infection.
Now I have a denture “flipper” while my gums heal which prevents me eating or enjoying solid food, and I am miserable and cant enjoy meeting friends for a meal etc. My dentist says I will get used to it, but he means they willl get used to me with a denture.
Have you any thoughts on my position?
Regards
Patricia
Dear Patricia,
From the sounds of it, a bone graft is your best way forward if you don’t want to suffer the discomfort of having a denture for the rest of your life. A typical treatment plan and quote for this type of situation would be:
Visit 1: (overnight stay) Free consultation and OPG x-ray, then a bone graft (typically £300-£800 depending on the extent of the work involved). You can continue to wear your denture during the healing process.
Visit 2: (overnight stay) 3 months later. Dental implants x 2 (£397 x 2) Temporary bridge fitted and healing caps at no extra charge.
Visit 3: (one day stay) 2 months later. Dental abutments fitted. (2 x £197) and impressions made for the final bridgework.
Visit 4: (overnight stay) 2 months later. Final bridgework fitted (4 x £297). Throw away the denture and be proud of your new smile and the fact that you can eat normally again!
There are no hidden or extra costs involved.
Does that help?
Daniel
