The Price Gap
Many people are curious as to why there is such a huge price difference between Hungary and the rest of Europe. They often assume that the quality of materials must be much lower but in fact Hungarian clinic’s materials are usually identical and often superior to their western European counterparts.
A good example of this would be one of our clinics who use a service whereby the patients teeth are scanned into a computer using a 3D imaging camera. The results are emailed to Sweden where the requested crowns are made to a high standard by computers and returned by courier within 48 hours to be fitted by the dentist. The same service is available to all dentists in Europe yet the price gap is still very much in evidence.
Some people might assume that the clinics are not as well equipped and thus do not pass the cost of new technology on to their clients but certainly in all our clinics they are overflowing with technology originating in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the US to name a few; a sure sign of solid investment.
And keeping up with training? It is a little known fact that every dentist in Hungary, in order to keep their licence, must build up enough points each year by attending seminars, conferences and training courses. There are no exceptions and the cost is bourne by the dentists themselves.
Certainly the overall cost of living in Hungary is less than in western European countries but in Budapest this is not quite so marked.
So why is it so cheap? Perhaps the biggest factor that influences prices are the shear numbers of highly qualified dentists competing in the same market. The end result is escalating quality and plummeting prices.
As you can see, there are lots of factors that influence price and equally a great deal that does not. What ever the reason we can see that there are real and very genuine savings to be made by exploiting this anomaly in the current dental market.
