Have I ensured myself concerning guarantees?

One of the most important things for you as a customer
concerning the maintenance of your health is the guarantee.
It is essential that we have a guarantee for the services
carried out, secured by a contract.
We should also be aware of content and duration.
It reveals a high degree of trust if individuals give their
names to their feedback regarding their satisfaction
with the surgery and the services.
But this does not yet suffice, the suitable provider offers
guarantee for travel (arrangements) as well.
Executive Dental Services International offers for its clients special guarantees on travel arrangements.

In order to receive the best possible service, have I enquired about supplementary services?

An entirely smooth customer service and high quality
can be guaranteed in basic services, however, compa-
nies that consider their image highly important always
aspire to surpass the expectations of their customers.
It is advisable to enquire about supplementary, con-
nected, comfort or extra services.
Do they offer an airplane ticket at a reasonable price?
Do they provide transfer between the airport and the
hotel and/or the clinic?
What level accomodation do they arrange or do they
provide accommodation at all?
Do they take the responsibility for organising my trip?
If the answer to the above questions is 'YES’, you can
be sure that your comfort is considered essential by the
service provider.

Am I sure that the doctors, staff and the receiving institution speaks my first language or a language I am competent in?

It is an essential comfort and security factor to under-
stand your regular doctor and the staff working in the
surgery. Make sure that the communication is at a satis-
factory level.
Doctors usually speak English. In Hungary English and
German are commonly spoken. French, Italian, Norwe-
gian, Russian is also available, but are not as common.
A well established clinic can even provide a translator.

Gather information about materials used in the course of the treatment!

Never allow anyone to insert anything into your
mouth without prior checking. Amalgam as a solution is out of date. Doctors and institutions working at a high standard prepare circonium crowns within a short timeframe.
Do not forget to ask about the type of implantatum they
use.
Materials and implantatums used at the clinics have a
quality certification, ask for and keep the Implant Pass
that contains the exact information concerning the type and size of the implantatum, so it will remain identifiable anywhere in the world in the future as well.
It is important to notice whether the clinic pro-
vides such a document.

Have I gathered information concerning the technique and equipment used in thechosen surgery, and have I made sure that I receive all the services at the sameplace within a short time?

It is not enough to be aware of the services provided by the chosen surgery. It is essential to have information about the location and timeframe of services.
We should be warned if there is no panoramic X-ray. If there is CT and dental laboratory, it suggests that the provided services are of high quality.
Do not hesitate to ask questions via email or by phone. Important information is revealed by the length of time between query and reply. If there is no response
within one day, it can suggest communication problems in the foreign language, there is a likelihood that there are or-
ganisational problems, or lack of expertise and in-
adequate customer service.

 

Is it possible to save 40-70 % on a Dental Treatment ?

      

     Dental care, even a root canal treatment can cost about 
Ł600 in the UK. A simple Dental Implant can cost minimum 
Ł1000 but the average cost is from Ł1350 . A 
complete rehabilitation begins from Ł13000 and it can be as 
much as Ł20-30000. Identifying the need for affordable, 
high quality dental implant surgery, clinics 
were established to service patients from Western Europe, 
USA and other developped countries.
These implant clinics were designed to give you the best 
quality of service and has been equipped with state-of-the-
art dental equipment. Thousands of patients 
from US, France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Switzerland 
travelled to these dental implant clinics and left satisfied 
and grinning.
     Dental prices at these "dental tourism" clinics are 40-
70% cheaper than in Western Europe, than in UK. As they 
present literally over thousand implant works in a year their 
team is more experineced than other implant clinics or 
individual dentists at any place in Europe.High-tech 
amenities and experts make likely this capacity and quality 
of service.

Have I checked the qualifications of the clinic and the doctors?

Most European Union Member States provide good education in the field of medicine and dentistry. It is well worth double-checking whether the dentists working at the chosen company are professionally qualified, complying with European Union standards and possessing suitable experience and background. The classification of the clinic can also serve as a guideline. A high standard surgery has obtained international qualifications and quality standards.
The invoices provided by EU conform clinics are acknowledged by insurance companies.
Another essential aspect to bear in mind is whether embassies have supervised
the surgery and its services and how they have evaluated the above.
Finally, EU licence and professional EU qualifications are also decisive
factors to consider.

Is it sure that I get the highest quality treatment, in shortest time, at the best price in my home country?

The answer is: NO. Parallel to the improvement of quality
health care the prices and waiting lists also grew longer. At
the same time the demand for cross-border health care
started to increase. Medical services abroad can also be of
high quality, at an affordable price, without waiting lists.
Hungary was one of the first countries that began to ser-
vice foreign patients who wanted quality health care at a
reasonable price without the need to wait. Hungary is cur-
rently a major dental tourism destination in the world.
People from all over Europe come to Hungary from the UK,
France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany, Norway.
The majority of Hungarian ,clinics provide world-class 
service, use high quality materials, and can provide ,their services in a short time. 

                       

                  Medical Tourism. What is it?

„Medical Tourism is a term involving people who travel to a different place to receive treatment for a disease, ailment, or condition, and who are seeking lower cost of care, higher quality of care, better access to care, or different care than they could receive at home.”
