Treatment Abroad FAQ

It matters where you will be traveling from, mostly our patients come to Budapest via Plane. There are several budget airlines who offer cheap flights, unfortunately we are not able provide you with a flight booking as we leave that to you, but to help we could help you in the search for a suitable flight at cost to get to Budapest.

Even though Hungary joined the EU in 2003 the cost of living has remained much lower than in other EU countries which means that you benefit from significant lower costs.

Our dedicated patient representatives will do their best to provide you with as much information you require about the treatment, the number of times you will require to visit and costs as they can. Although to ensure that the proposed estimated treatment plan is correct, we recommend a face-to-face consultation at our clinic located in Budapest. Here our doctor will be able to take all necessary X-rays to prepare a more accurate recommendation which you will have a chance to directly discuss and make a decision on.

From our experience one week is normally more than enough for most crown and bridge work. Implants require a 2-3 days stay with a return visit of 6 days after about 3-6 months. Some treatments may require more time, in which case the client is recommended to stay for about 10 days. Such treatments are: fixed-detachable case and constructing the implants (including second operation and construction) but that is usually necessary only for the second treatment in Hungary.

We have partnered with a number of hotels around Budapest through which we are able to offer competitive rates. They are all placed walking distance from the clinic and town center for convenience.

The most frequent allergies occur from nickel and palladium. However, these two metals haven't been used in the materials for teeth for about 7 years.

BIOCCLUS 4 includes: gold (Au) 85,8%, zinc (Zn) 0,5%, platinum (Pt) 11,0%, tantalum (Ta) 0,3%, indium (In) 1,7%, rhodium (Rh) 0,7%.

In most cases, the recovery period lasts only a few days. Take painkillers and antibiotics as prescribed by your dentist or oral surgeon. The following tips will help speed your recovery.

• Normal reactions after surgery: individual amount of swelling, pain, mouth-opening restriction, sensitivity and some bleeding on the first day.
• While your mouth is numb, be careful not to bite the inside of your cheek or lip, or your tongue. When the impact of the anaesthesia has passed (about 2-3 hours) you may eat. Avoid hot and spicy food and drinks as well as milk products ( yogurt, cream, cheese, milk, etc) in the few coming days.
• Avoid rubbing the area with your tongue or touching it with your fingers.
• Do not lie flat. This may prolong swelling. Prop up your head with pillows.
• Use an ice pack on the outside of your cheek for the first 24 hours, for a maximum of 10 minutes every hour.
• Relax after surgery. Avoid physical activity, sports, sauna, etc as it may increase bleeding and swelling.
• The day of surgery brush your teeth except the surgical area but from the next day on pay extra attention to brush that area with a soft toothbrush!
• Do not smoke for at least 24 hours after your surgery, and try to cut down on smoking in the following weeks as well. Smoking delays healing, decreases the blood supply and can bring germs and contaminants to the surgery area.
• Control and stitch-removal after one week.
