Extractions Budapest

We retired 3 years ago and moved to Hungary. We have been postponing a visit to a dentist since then. We had our X-rays taken and then a consultation with the dentist. It was very thorough and he prepared several treatment plans. I then had a troublesome tooth extracted and will have a replacement bridge done once it has healed. My wife had her teeth cleaned and will have bridge work done next week. The clinic is very modern and the staff members are very nice they speak excellent English, German and Hungarian.

I had always paid for private dental treatment until a number of bridges and crowns began to fail. I had consultations with local clinics in Northern Ireland and was shocked at the cost of implants, bone augmentation, twilight anaesthesia. A treatment plan that would take 9 months to a year. I decided to look into going abroad, did my research and decided to go to Budapest on a short break to look at a few clinics. I planned my own travel and accommodation because I wanted to make a decision purely on who I thought was the best option for my dental treatment, not who paid for my hotel or picked me up from the airport. I won’t discuss the clinics I rejected but when I met Dr Haidekker I knew that he was the dentist for me. He has a no-nonsense approach and he told me what I needed and what was possible not what he thought I wanted to hear. I returned to Budapest a month later to start my treatment. I had a couple of extractions and four implants put in. I found the implants quite straight forward, a few injections and an hour later they were in with very little fuss. Three months later I was back for a full upper set of crowns and lower molar/premolar bridges on both sides. I found the whole process very straight forward when I decided to get my treatment with Dr Haidekker. We agreed the dates and price then Sylvia organised the accommodation and pick up from and back to the airport. Sylvia was always on hand to resolve any questions that I had. I am going to return to Activ Dental for some more treatment in a few months and spend some more time in Budapest sightseeing.

I went to SODC in May 2018 to see what options I had with my teeth as one by one they were crumbling and dropping out. Dr Szofia was my dentist and she was straight to the point but very nice with it! They all had to come out and I had choices after that implants with snap-on dentures seemed the best option with 3 visits needed over 11 months. The next day I had my extractions and was given temporary false teeth until my implant treatment was complete. I have just got back home after my second visit to Budapest (Nov 2018) for 3 days. I had 8 implants placed (4 lower and 4 upper jaw) a small bone graft and a troublesome wisdom tooth surgically extracted all in one visit to the chair (2 hours). While I wouldn't say it was painless, what I would say is it is not as bad as I thought it would be. My face is a little swollen but that is all really, apart from a little tenderness around the stitches in my gums. As regards to the value, I was quoted £20,000 in the UK for this treatment. The price I will pay after factoring in travel and accommodation is less than half that. On top of that, you can stay in Budapest, which is beautiful and very warm too. Can't wait to go to finish my treatment in May 2019. The reason I chose this clinic is I had read the reviews and they all seemed positive and I'm glad I did. The drivers who pick you up and drive you around are a great bunch of guys, always polite and friendly, the patient reps very helpful. The staff at the clinic are very nice, polite and you are not waiting around, no sooner have you sat down they are calling you in to see your dentist. It's state of the art with everything there, the scanning equipment etc and the premises are lovely, clean, the staff so nice and friendly. Glad I went there and once my treatment is complete I will visit the clinic once a year for a check-up with a nice 3-day mini break thrown in lovely Budapest.

I had all of my metal fillings removed and quite a few covers where my enamel was missing and painful. I think I had six fillings replaced with enamel-looking fillings and four covers all done in just a couple of hours. I was very pleased and it was fairly painless. The doctor knows how to give a shot. The money I saved on the work I had done paid for my air travel to Hungary. So while my wife was being worked on, I went out and enjoyed Budapest. Gabor picked us up in the morning from where we were staying and took me to the Castle District for sightseeing and lunch. If I ever need more dental work, I will do this again.

Firstdent made me feel very comfortable from the start to the finish. The Firstdent team are very friendly and put you at ease. I am very happy with the end results.
