Things to consider before traveling abroad for a dental treatment


Before starting a dental treatment abroad, patients should consider the following issues

* The full cost of treatments    
* Dentists experience and qualifications    
* Medical guarantee    
* Treatment plan options    
* Customer care    
* The travel cost and connections from the UK airports    
* Duration of treatments 

1. The full cost of treatments

Many clinics claim to offer the lowest price for one particular dental treatment, for instance, cost of an implant. You should bear in mind that prices for other preparation treatments such as fillings or root canal treatments might be much higher in these clinics. Patients think that they wouldn't need these extra treatments. Very often however, preparation work is required before any major treatment is undertaken. It means that the total bill for restoring your smile might be higher than earlier expected.We believe in honest pricing policy in our clinics. Treatments such us extractions, root canal, fillings are on average 15-20% lower with Dentists in Poland than with other Eastern European clinics. 

2. Dentists experience and qualifications

It is very important to check credentials of dentists and clinics before the treatment commences. Each clinic or dental practice should be able to provide the references of their medical staff upon request. The qualifications of dentists can also be checked through professional bodies and organizations in each country i.e. The Department of Health.Our clinics provide all forms of high quality dentistry and customer care. They offer a combination of world class quality, very competitive prices, safe environment and painless experience. We are happy to provide medical certificates of our staff on request.Dr. Bednarczyk, the chief dentist in one of Krakow clinic, has been the top crown and bridge specialist for over 8 years. Many of our patients have noticed her great attention to detail and professionalism. Dr. Rozwadowski is a well know dentist in Poland and recently appeared in TV commercial advertising for SENSODYNE tooth paste (pictures were taken in one of our clinics). "Healthy Smile Centre" - another clinic in Krakow we work with, employ very best specialists: 3 of their dentists have PhD degree in specializations such as dental surgery or prosthetic. 

3. Medical guarantee

We strongly advise that patients only choose the clinics that can guarantee their work.Our clinics employ highly experienced and qualified dentists and use the best materials. That's why we are confident to give our patients long medical guarantee (from 3 to 10 years depending on the treatment). It means that, if in an unlikely event something goes wrong with your dental work due to a dentist mistake or other complications, the problem will be rectified free of charge. For instance, if the implant is not accepted by your body in our clinic, it will be placed again free of charge. 

4. Treatment plan options

Patients should not be bullied into the most expensive dental plan. Patients should be able to receive various options of the treatment based on few factors, i.e. budget, duration of the treatment or durability.Often, when you need an implant and consult an implantologist, most of them will offer you the implant treatment (the most expensive option) without even considering other alternative dental solutions. We offer various treatment options for our patients. Our Krakow clinic can prepare 2 treatment plans for you in one consultation, for instance one with bridge option (less expensive) and the other one with an implant option (more expensive). Our dentists will answer any of your questions, to help you decide which way to go. 

5. Customer care

Travelling to a foreign country to obtain a medical treatment, without knowing the native language, can be a stressful experience.Apart from providing high quality dentistry in the sterile medical conditions, customer service is at the heart of Dentists in Poland. English speaking representatives assist our foreign patients in our clinics, making sure their stay is comfortable and fully organized from the beginning of your treatment through to the end. We also offer all-in-one travel packages available at discounted rate which ensure full peace of mind for our patients.  

6. The travel cost and connections from UK's airports

Travel cost is another aspect to consider before obtaining a dental treatment abroad. Two and sometimes more visits are often required to complete a complicated dental treatment. Therefore the cost of the flights and accommodation is taken into account before consulting a dentist abroad. Krakow is easily accessible from any part of the UK and is one of the most affordable destinations in Central and Eastern Europe. Flights to Krakow are available from most UK airports and prices start from as little as £45 return. Various airlines fly to Poland including British Airways, LOT Polish Airlines, Easy Jet, Ryanair and Wizzair. 

7. Duration of treatments

Providing that the state of your gums and bones is satisfactory, most of extensive dental treatments can be finished on two visits to Poland. Even the most complicated implantology treatments can be finished on two-three visits (starting with a 3 day visit first). Our clinic in Krakow can fabricate and fit in 8 crowns in one 5 day visit (providing that you don't need any extractions). We understand the time constraints that our English patients might face and all the treatments are done in an express time without compromising the quality of the work.
