IMPLANTS
Upper jaw extract 4 teeth and replace all of my top
teeth with implants, about 6 implants.
Lower jaw extract 1 tooth and place 4 implants.
Porcelain
bridge for both sides. Time available 7 days.
Extractions, implants and crowns/bridgework unfortunately take
longer to sort out than 7 days. It is sometimes possible to extract
teeth and place implants immediately. This is decided on an individual
patient basis only as it is not the right thing to do for all patients,
for instance if there is any gum inflammation or infection this
is not possible. Once the implants have been placed in the jaw
they need to heal for a number of months and then the permanent
teeth are placed on top of the implants. In the meantime patients
can have a temporary denture or temporary crowns.
As soon as teeth are lost or extracted bone loss occurs and the
longer ago that some of your teeth were extracted or lost the
more likely you are to need some form of bone augmentation at the
same time as the implants are placed or a number of months before
the implants are placed. The optimum time to have
implants following extraction is about 2 months as long as any
infection or inflammation is healed, however many patients years
later successfully have implants.
So whilst the number of implants that you want might be entirely
possible we have to consider that it might not be possible without
some form of bone augmentation.
It might be that the best option for you is to come out to Budapest
for a consultation, have the extractions, be fitted with a temporary
denture and then in 2 months time go back to Budapest for the implant
work. If this is acceptable to you your first trip out to Budapest
would be for at least 5 nights so that if we need to do any bone
augmentation work at this stage we have time to do this.
Implants are considered to be a lifelong investment and whilst
all patients want to rush through the work, it is much better to
take a considered approach to your treatment. So instead of 7 nights
I think a realistic timescale would be if you started the work
now it would be finished in about 8 months time.
For information implants are in 3 parts
- the titanium post which goes into the jawbone (this is level
with the gum and is stitched over for about 7 days and left to
heal for a number of months - you cannot normally see the
implant during the healing process)
- the attachment which
is placed onto the implant after about 6 months
- the implant crown which is placed onto the attachment
Pitt Easy implants are 750
euros each and porcelain fused to metal implant crowns are 270
euros each and zirconium oxide implant crowns are 470 euros each.
Bridgework is priced on a per unit crown basis, so if there are
4 teeth on the bridge the price of a porcelain fused to metal bridge
would be 1080 euros.
We can normally fit patients in for an appointment quickly
depending on the time that you have available.

I would like to know the projected cost
for 3 implants next to each other.
I have been informed by my dentist that I have enough bone
for implants to take place.

DENTAL
TREATMENT - VENEERS
I am very interested in getting some
dental work done abroad. My teeth have always been a source
of embarrassment to me and I would like to
have the front and bottom teeth veneered. I was looking for
some indication
of how much this would be, also the likely
time this would take and the general process.
Veneers are used to cover up minor imperfections such as colour
issues, small gaps, small chips, or for teeth very slightly out
of alignment. A thin layer
of the patient's natural tooth is skimmed off and the porcelain
veneer is placed on the front of the natural tooth. Crowns
are used when more substantial imperfections are to be addressed. These
might be large gaps, crooked/wonky teeth, badly chipped teeth,
or decay. A
larger amount of the patient's natural tooth is filed down and
a much more substantial cover is placed over the natural tooth. A
big mistake patients make is thinking everyone can have veneers.
Many patients find they need crowns so that the shape and position
of the lab work can be significantly altered.
The price of full porcelain veneers and full porcelain crowns
is Euros 280. Typically a patient might need 6-8 veneers/crowns
on the upper and the same on the lower. If you can send a photo of your
teeth we can give you more idea about how many you would need. Obviously
a patient's budget has to be taken into consideration as well. So
Euros 3360 to 4480 (about £2250-£3,000) will give
you an idea of how much it would cost. For the front teeth
we always use temporary crowns for the time between preparation
and fitting of the final work. Temporary crowns are Euros
15 each. Filed down teeth look just that and they can be
sensitive without coverings on them. This prices includes
the airport transfer, the consultation, panoramic x-ray, impressions.
Lab work (i.e. the veneers or crowns) takes 5 working days so
you have two options. One is to go to Budapest and stay
out there for the preparation and fitting in one trip, so go
out Sunday, consultation, x-ray and preparation Monday, fitting
Friday, home Saturday. Another option is to go out for
2 nights for the consultation and preparation, then return
to Budapest for 2 nights, 1-2 weeks later, for the fitting of
the lab work.

DIFFERENCES IN CROWNS
I'm
interested in have 12 crowns fitted to my teeth (6 front top
and 6 front bottom).
Can you please explain the differences between the various
crowns you use.
Would I get a discount for 12 crowns?
How long would it take to fit 12 crowns. Would I be able
to have the work done in one day? Do you work weekends?
The type of crown you would choose would depend where in
the mouth they are to be placed and your budget. Obviously
at the front of the mouth it is very important to achieve
a natural look rather than something that just functions.
The difference in the crowns is the materials they are made
of, the look and the strength. A basic crown, porcelain fused
to metal (also called porcelain covered crown or porcelain
on metal) is very strong, however the base metal gives an
opaque look to the crown and natural teeth are quite translucent
so side by side you would possibly be able to tell which
was the crown and which was the natural tooth. If however
the upper and lower teeth were all changed together this
would not be so much of an issue. If using porcelain fused
to metal teeth at the front you would also want to use a
porcelain shoulder which is a few mm of porcelain which overhangs
the tooth so that if/when the gum slightly recedes over the
years the metal underneath at the edge will not be as evident.
Porcelain fused to metal crowns are the cheapest crowns and
if someone is quoting for a "crown" this
is probably the type they mean.
Porcelain fused to gold crowns are normally quoted at the porcelain
fused to metal rate plus the cost of the gold. Typically 2-4
grams of gold are used for each tooth. This type of crown gives
a better translucency/natural look than crowns fused to metal.
Gradia crowns - resin based, a reasonable option.
The look is reasonably natural.
Full porcelain crowns - excellent translucency/look against
natural teeth. The crown of choice for the front teeth in the
medium cost bracket however these crowns are only for individual
teeth. It is not possible to make bridges (i.e. teeth joined
together to span gaps) from full porcelain as the material
is not strong enough.
Zeno zirconium oxide crowns - absolutely fantastic look, good
translucency and superior strength. These are the ultimate
crowns for front teeth and can be used for individual crowns
or bridgework.
All of our crowns are very competitively priced and included
in the price is the cost of the consultation, panoramic x-ray,
airport transfers, ongoing support in Budapest, and a certain
number of tickets for the transport system, so no discounts
are available for most of the crowns, apart from a 3% discount
for cash. However at the moment we have a "Promotion" buy
9 Zeno zirconium crowns and get the 10th one free.
Generally we need 5 working days for lab work
to be completed. The
length of time you have to stay in Budapest depends on how
many teeth are involved and in what parts of the mouth they
are. For small amounts of work this might be arrive
on a Sunday, start the preparation on the Monday, fitting
on Friday and home on Saturday. However with larger
amounts of work we would want you to stay until the Monday
or Tuesday of the following week. This gives us time
to spread the preparation over a couple of days and make
minor adjustments if necessary. We need
to make sure we have time to do your work and we also have
to consider how much work can comfortably be done in one
appointment and how much local anaesthetic is needed at each
appointment.
Alternatively you can go out to Budapest for 3-4 days, arrive
Sunday leave Wednesday evening, and then return say on the
Thursday a week later for at least 2 nights.
We try and work around your commitments. So if you let
us know when you are available we can try and fit you in.
