Simon Purchall, Founding Director of Smile Savers Hungary Ltd, gives us an insight into the things to watch out for when picking a good dentist abroad.

"With the rise of dental tourism and with so many dentists abroad offering their services on the internet these days we thought it would be a nice idea to share with you some of the tips and tricks we've collected during our 4 year history of pre-vetting, recommending and working with high quality dental clinics in Budapest. I hope you find this information useful and hopefully you can avoid some of the more common pitfalls when selecting a suitable dentist abroad."

10. Giving it Away

In the UK and elsewhere dental patients are usually asked to pay for absolutely everything right down to the mouth wash. In today's competitive dental tourism market there's a lot to be got for free. Typically we would expect to see free consultations, x-rays (including panoramic x-rays), airport transfers and transfers to and from all your appointments, oral-sedation, impression taking, antibiotics, pain killers where necessary and of course the complimentary mouth wash.
The list could go on but be wary of too many discounts and freebies if the basics don't add up.

9. Was That Really You on TV?

Probably the most abused of all the methods used to woo a potential client. Over the years we have quietly plugged away at our job with the goal of bringing the best for less to UK clients. Along the way we have attracted some great press attention both in print and TV which we're very proud of so it bugs us a just a little bit when we see clinics listing other companies' press cuttings as examples of their own achievements.
Always check any reference to press coverage for a specific mention of the clinic in question. If the link is broken or doesn't go anywhere it's probably for a reason.

Welcome to our site. In the pages that follow you'll find most of the information you need to help you make the right choice about travelling abroad for dental treatment. At Smile Savers Hungary we have limited our area of specialization to the one place that stands heads above the rest for dentistry, Budapest in Hungary. In the pages that follow you can find out why that is, all about the clinics, essential information on dental treatments, find the flight that's right for you, get useful tips on things to see and places to eat in Budapest, find out about our services in detail, including guarantees and prices, have answered some common questions or send us an email to answer some not so common questions. You can discover exactly what our clients and the press are saying about us & our recommended clinics and check out the latest news from Budapest (if it's in anyway connected to dentistry!). We also have some great deals and, from time to time, some tempting special offers. So take your time and look around, there's plenty for everyone.

Since our conception we have guided an ever increasing number of clients each year, many through recommendation, along the very rewarding process of obtaining the very best that Budapest has to offer. First class clinics, top notch service and second to none support & after care service exactly where needed. We've grown in a rapidly expanding market and to a greater extent played a dominant role in that expansion.

We have always strived to set ourselves apart from the increasing number of sole-trader clinics offering their services and more recently the anti-competitive cartels of clinics now forming in Budapest by representing not just the clinics but also, and most importantly to us, the interests of our clients, you.
In real terms this has meant significantly more effort on our part but the end results, though very occasionally hard fought, are what makes us who we have become.

Hungary is in sharp contrast to most European countries in that it has a hugely competitive army of highly trained dental professionals fighting for a relatively small home market. Competition has been stoked further by waves of foreign clients initially crossing the immediate borders from Austria and Germany in search of a better deal. Now, with the recent entry of Hungary into the EU, it's marketplace has expanded and competition has grown more fierce producing some of the best clinics Budapest has ever seen. Smile Savers Hungary has always striven to seek out these clinics and form special relationships with them so that our customers can take advantage of the positive developments taking place today in Budapest.

Hungary and specifically Budapest is now a world leader in dentistry. No one else has so many highly trained and experienced dentists per capita. Hungarians themselves have been benefiting for years from an environment that produces some of the best creative and scientific minds in the world.

At Smile Savers Hungary we will go out of our way to find you a dentist to suit your situation from our meticulously hand picked world class clinics. On top of that we can help you find cheap flights, offer discounted hotels and apartments near to your clinic, look after you whilst in Hungary to make your stay as pleasant as possible and provide unrivalled after-care should you require it once you get back. All backed by all important guarantees enforced by essential tailor made contracts drawn up between us and our recommended clinics.
