Despite epic thread on Hungary, would like to hear patient feedback

Well, I was very excited about going to Hungary and took the plunge and went. Was very impressed with the clinic I attended. It was all very modern and seemed incredibly state of the art. I agreed a treatment plan, to replace crowns and add new crowns and replace some fillings. But... when it came to it, I couldn't go…

Well, I was very excited about going to Hungary and took the plunge and went. Was very impressed with the clinic I attended. It was all very modern and seemed incredibly state of the art. I agreed a treatment plan, to replace crowns and add new crowns and replace some fillings.

But... when it came to it, I couldn't go through with the work. I was too nervous. Whilst I would have trusted them to carry out the work, I don't think they are as patient with nervous patients as perhaps you'd find in Ireland.

Furthermore, it would have taken a number of visits for me to complete the work, and whilst I admire that, because they wanted to ensure enough time was between visits to assist healing, it wouldn't have been economical for me to return time and time again. I was told that there are other clinics in Hungary, that will complete as much work as necessary in one visit, and I actually had a consultation with a clinic in Dublin who said they could do as much as I was able for in one day, depending on how long I could stay on the chair, but this particular clinic seemed to want to do things right and ensure the treatment was spread out in a reasonable time frame.

I've since met with a Dublin dentist who specialises in nervous patients, and whilst I won't get all I want done in Dublin as I cant afford it, I am a bit more comfortable with the prospect of being sedated.

My advice to people planning on going abroad for dental treatment is to firstly compare prices before you go. I found a couple of Dentists who had prices not far off what I was being given in Hungary. I think the real value is in Implants when you are considering going abroad and also if you are being promised the work being done in one visit, question whether this is the best way forward for you.

Not sure if I'm allowed to mention the clinic I visited, I'm happy to reply by PM. I DO recommend them, but just not for me and my situation.
