Saving money with dental treatment in Budapest
1. story: Treatment of an Italian patient
The chart below shows the example of a 54 year old Italian female patient:
Original condition:
The upper teeth of the patient are in order, but her lower molars are missing, so she would like to have a lower dentures done.
Italian quotation:
According to the Italian plan, the total cost: 6200 Euro
(The plan of implantation is not even considered, because of the bone structure). The treatment plan contained 8 crowns, temporary prosthesis and removable dentures, similarly to what was compiled in Budapestdental clinic.
The thought of the trip:
The patient was informed about the expertise and the attractive dental prices. She was planning a trip to a European capital in the fall anyway, so she thought if the price was fair, she would come o Budapest. The treatment plan she received here was similar to the one prepared for her in Rome, but the price was not even half of it, so she decided to give it a go.
