How long do I need to stay in Budapest for my dental treatment

• This depends on what dentistry is required. For example:

• Crowns and bridges - one trip (6 days) OR 2 trips (2 days for the preparation and then 2 days for the final fitting the following week or the week after that). The benefit of taking 2 trips is that your appointments can revolve more around the weekends.

• Implants - 2-3 working days and then return to Budapest 3-6 months later for the implant crowns to be fitted.

• Free consultation, x-ray and treatment plan - 1 day

• Laser whitening 1 day

What happens at the free dental consultation

• A panoramic x-ray will be taken

• The dentist will examine your teeth and discuss a treatment plan with you. You will be given a written quotation for any work necessary. This appointment might take about 1 hour.

Do the Dentists and Office Staff speak English

• Yes. All of the staff speak English extremely well.

Do you offer initial consultations or appointments in London or elsewhere in the UK

No - we prefer to keep our prices down. Our prices are too competitive to offer this service. We are also not prepared to send a junior member of the team who does not have the experience necessary to undertake complex and detailed examinations.

Budapest is inexpensive for dentistry because of low overall running costs. When a clinic starts offering consultations or appointments in London or elsewhere in the UK, the patient will eventually have to pay more because costs inevitably will be higher for the clinic.

Budapest is easily accessible for a day trip. Take advantage of the cheap airfares from airlines like EasyJet and save yourself money.

How do I pay for my dental treatment

• Cash - you will get 3% cash discount if you pay for your dental treatment in cash. Euros, Sterling and Hungarian Forint notes are all accepted in the clinic.
  

• Travellers Cheques
  You will get the best value for money if you bring travellers cheques in your native currency. Therefore UK patients should bring sterling travellers cheques and Irish patients should bring Euro travellers cheques.
  
  The clinic will advise you which bank is currently offering the best rate so that you can convert your travellers cheques into the local currency, Hungarian Forints. You can then use your Hungarian Forints to pay for your dental treatment and in this way take advantage of our 3% discount for cash.

• Debit card / ATM machines
  Some UK banks do not charge for ATM withdrawals in foreign countries although they may limit your daily withdrawal. If you use this method of getting cash in Budapest you should contact your bank and ask them to increase your daily limit so you can take larger amounts from the ATM.
