Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is Hungary in the EU?
Hungary joined in the EU in May 2004. There are now no
travel or trade restrictions in place between the EU and Hungary. EU regulations
apply now as in other member states.
Q. Do the dentists speak English?
The dentists speak English, German and Italian. One dentist
additionally speaks Hebrew. In addition and to make things simpler for everyone
we have developed a specialised quotation system which allows dentists to
work in their own language whilst producing client quotations in English.
Q. Do the clinics have modern technology?
Our clinics have digital x-ray systems, the latest computer
controlled dental chairs, oral cameras, laser and light teeth whitening systems,
computerised patient management and so on.
Q. What if something happens back in the UK?
In our experience the likelyhood of complications occuring
is extremely small but we have several proven contigencies that we have successfully
utilised in the past; including:
We have legally binding contracts in place with our clinics that proceduralise
the entire process should something go wrong.
We have direct access to the dentists to get expert advice for you on what
the problem could be related to and the quickest way to solve it.
If needed we will arrange an appointment straight away. Any problems immediately
have top priority and appointments are free.
As a flight takes only 2.5 hours you won't have to wait long. As a comparison:
recently (May, 2005) consumer group Which? contacted 321 UK practices asking
if they could get an appointment within 24 hours. Just under half were unable
to offer one in this time frame even if the client was prepared to go privately.
Q. How do I know if this is genuine?
We have a long list of very happy and satisfied clients
and are able to provide references from them on request. Just ask and we
can give you a selection of client references that you are free to call in
your own time.
We encourage our clinics to build extensive case histories of their English
clients providing good documentary evidence of work completed.
We are a UK registered company held responsible under English law. You can

Q. Are there things to do in Budapest?
Recently there has been a huge increase in the number of
western Europeans visiting Budapest and the result has been Budapest truly
coming into bloom.
There are now a wide range of very modern bars, clubs and restaurants catering
for all tastes.
Budapest is often described as the 'Paris of the Danube' and sometimes the 'Pearl of the Danube' and boasts some
amazing sights and experiences enriched by a checkered history. It has castles
and a palace with an art gallery inside, museums, the biggest parliament
in Europe right on the banks of the Danube and, for some most importantly,
Budapest, sitting on a geological fault line, has some of the best thermal
spas in Europe.
When you've cleansed and revived in the spas there's always the Danube to
be explored by numerous boat rides.
Shopping in Budapest is like any major city in Europe and all the major outlets
are well represented.
We've made a few pages of our favourite things in Budapest which can be found
here.
