Faced with a substantial cost for major mouth refurbishment (eight implants and more), I am trying to decide between Ireland and Hungary for the work. I find many posts, mostly old ones, cautioning against Hungary but they seem to be from dentists practising in Ireland. Experiences from friends and friends of friends who have take the Hungarian route all seem positive.
I noticed in the small print of one Hungarian practise that I would be required to have an annual check-up in Budapest to keep the guarantee and I have a big fear of arriving home and then having tooth pain.
I have been quoted €13,000 by one Hungarian clinic and it would be at least double that in Ireland. Do Irish dentists accept payment by standing order?
And what of the Hungarian dentists in Ireland - Cork and Limerick? I wonder if they charge Irish or Hungarian prices and if their work is okay.
The real alternative is a set of plastic teeth in a glass beside the bed but the wife would divorce me and I'm not ready to give up on life just yet.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.
