In Vienna it was waiting for a taxi to take her for 80 miles to the border with the town of Vienna – Moshonmadyarovar. Anthony found a dentist in Hungary through a search engine Google – it introduced the word veneers and Hungary. Result search was a clinic, a site which seemed to her the most serious. Bank employee would like to improve the appearance of front teeth through veneers. Veneer – a very fine ceramic plate, which is superimposed on the tooth surface. The cost of a veneer in Germany is around 750 euros in Hungary, as it costs around 250 euros. “All this was only a matter of value” – says Andrea.
None of the insurance companies do not compensate for costs on cosmetic dentistry. Treatment in Hungary is cheaper by two thirds, the reason for this lies in low wages and a lower purchasing power of the Hungarians. But the materials used, as a rule, German, said dental technician Andrea Dobos. Andrea previously worked in a dental clinic of the Black Forest, so she speaks good German. Andrea does not receive a fixed salary, but only the percentages of cost of treatment, so it works on Saturdays or late evening. Together with four other doctors it serves up to 2500 patients per year. Approximately two-thirds, and that 1500 people come from Germany. Other patients come from neighboring Austria. Sometimes even the Americans are coming, the British and the inhabitants of the Nordic countries. “Patients very rarely complain about the quality of treatment in Hungary. In case of claims re-visit becomes a problem, “says Christian Zimmerman, the chairman of the General Association of Patients in Germany. Last year, these large insurance companies in Germany, as the bkk and aok have become quite formally advise their clients to seek cheaper options for dental treatment in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland. But in Moshonmadyarovare not only dentists used the situation to their benefit. There was a whole tourism industry. The program stay included ethnographic excursions, samples goulash, wines, excursions to Lake Balaton and Budapest. Alexander Heyd arrived in Hungary from Germany to recover two missing teeth. During the flight from Frankfurt, removable apartment and treated within one week of telecom engineer will pay 2200 euro. “In Germany, the only treatment would cost less, not including the implants,” says Alexander. And here I can spend more and some holidays. He has already reserved panoramic helicopter flight of Soviet era, and yesterday he went on a trip to the forklift. Boom in dental tourism has not yet reached its peak.
All new treatments and new items may be opened in future. As the chairman of eec Commission, Mr. Marcus Kupriyanov, home market will develop in the field of health. If the talks in Brussels will be successful, the citizens of eec themselves can choose where they go treatment. However, residents of the city itself is not so optimistic. This can not last long – about five years, prices will double, and foreigners will not make sense to come here. Yet even for the majority of Hungarians is exactly the the best case – the treatment they can not afford. However, the mayor is not worried about this division of patients into two classes: “This has always been and this will continue.”.
