You may have heard family or friends mentioning their trips abroad to receive dental treatment overseas, and not really had a clue what they were talking about. ‘Dental holidays’ are becoming more and more popular, but many people still don’t really know about them, or consider them an option for their dental treatment. After years of going to the same dentist, it’s easy to get stuck into a routine. But there are other options out there.

At Access Smile we offer the chance to receive high-quality treatment at a fraction of the price of UK practices. It’s also a chance to give yourself a little break and explore the sites Budapest, where our main practice is based.

The straight talk on dental treatment overseas

People may a bit wary about dental treatment overseas, as while treatment in the UK can be crazy expensive, at least you know what you’re getting. That’s why we do everything we can to make the process as clear as possible; from support from our treatment consultant who sticks with you right up to treatment, to check-ups, aftercare and transparent prices.

We know how frustrating it is to spend a long time considering treatment, weighing up pros and cons and comparing prices, and finally choosing one, to suddenly find you have unexpected payments to make. Our treatment packages ensure that there are no hidden costs.

We will determine the price based on your specific circumstances and provide full transparency of the process. Our dentists keep a record of everything, which the patient has access to, so you are informed and on board every step of the way.

Once you have your quote, and you have given us your flight details, we will organise the transport from the airport to the dentist and the hotels that we’ve worked with for years. There is no need to waste time shopping around or finding your way around in a strange new city.

We will provide all the information about your treatment beforehand, and ensure you are fully comfortable with the procedure on the day. You will also get the chance to speak to previous patients to hear first hand about their experience, and hopefully put your mind at ease.

When it comes to sorting out those major problems with your teeth, why not make a holiday out of it and receive your dental treatment overseas? Take a long weekend off and come back feeling and looking relaxed, refreshed and restored.

Many people are now taking their dental treatment overseas, as treatments such as dental implants can cost a pretty hefty sum, which eats away at your savings. Coming to us for treatments at Access Smile allows you to sort out your teeth, while not compromising on your much-needed holiday, in fact, it combines the two.

While the price is cut, the quality is the same as you would receive from dental practices in the UK, with experienced dentists and up-to-date technology to carry out precise and safe treatments.

Organising dental treatment overseas

Going abroad for treatment isn’t as easy as visiting your local practice down the road, so we are here to make your journey as smooth as possible. One of our treatment consultants will be there for you up until the treatment, so you don’t have to spend hours re-explaining yourself to different people.  They will advise you on the best route to go down, give you a quote, provide all the necessary information, and answer any questions you may have.

We offer consultations and quotations at our clinic in Dublin, a nearby appointment in the UK, or at our main clinic in Budapest, where you can meet the staff and see the facilities. This may help you feel more prepared for treatment.

We will sort out your clinic visits, book your hotel, arrange your transport and provide all the information regarding treatment and payment.

Flying out and receiving treatment

Once you have made your journey to us, we will make sure you are comfortable and fully informed on your upcoming procedure. You will meet our friendly staff, undergo treatment, and then relax and take in the sights of Budapest.

Post-tooth vacation

Once you have returned from your dental holiday feeling relaxed and healthy, you must keep looking after your teeth, brushing and flossing daily and avoiding sugary foods and acidic drinks. It’s also important to attend six monthly check ups at your local clinic.

Here at Access Smile, we believe in offering a comprehensive and personal service to our patients having dental treatment overseas. We know that there is more organisation involved in having dental treatment overseas than popping down to your local surgery, which is why we are with you every step of the way.

Each of our patients has a dedicated treatment consultant who is their first point of contact for all queries and concerns. Once you have contacted us via email or phone to register your interest in dental treatment overseas, one of our treatment consultants will get in touch to answer your questions, send you information providing an overview of what we offer and, if you want to proceed, will provide you with a quote.

There are three ways you get a quote from us:

1. Visit our Dublin clinic for an in-person assessment. Talk to the friendly and welcoming clinical staff there about your specific dental needs and they will give you a full examination, including x-rays.
2. If you live some distance from Dublin, you can send dental x-rays and consultation information direct to Budapest for a treatment plan. For UK-based patients, we can book a consultation appointment at a nearby location.
3. Visit Budapest in person and see our team there for your consultation. This gives the added benefit that you get to meet the staff, see the pristine facilities and you may even be able to talk to other patients about their experience.

If you are happy with your treatment plan and quotation, the next step is to arrange travel and accommodation. One of our patient co-ordinators in Budapest will take care of this for you, and will send you your travel documents, schedule and clinic appointments, so you don’t have to think about any of that – we take care of it for you.

All the staff at our Budapest clinic are fluent in English, so you can discuss the specifics of your treatment with them once you arrive and they can answer any questions you may have. You can make changes to your treatment at this point and ask them for additional help such as conscious sedation if you are feeling nervous.

Getting your dental treatment overseas should be a worry-free experience that you will always be glad you had. Whether you have cosmetic or restorative treatment, you want the location to be easy to get to, for the work to be of as high a standard as you would find at a high class private dentist at home and you want to be able to understand what is going on.

Here at Access Smile, we have been offering dental treatment overseas for people in the UK and Ireland for more than 12 years now. That’s more than 12 years of asking what works and what doesn’t and smoothing out the glitches to make the whole dental journey seamless, from the moment you enquire to the moment you are signed off as treatment complete.

How it starts

Give us a call and if we think we can help you, we will ask you to get a panoramic x-ray of your mouth done. Once our dentist in Dublin has taken a look at it, it’s time to come in for a consultation, either to our London or our Dublin clinics.

Your treatment plan

We use the information from the consultation to create a fully costed treatment plan. Everything we will need to charge you for will be on the plan. There won’t be any hidden extras to surprise you. You may be able to have some of the preparatory work done at home, either in Dublin or London, before setting off for Access Smile’s wholly-owned clinic in Budapest, Hungary.

Getting there

You don’t have to worry about finding somewhere good to stay. We already have great relations with excellent hotels in the city, and once you arrive in Budapest, we will meet you at the airport and also take you to the dental clinic from your hotel.

At the clinic

Everyone speaks fluent English, and we use only the latest and highest quality equipment and materials. We will work until your treatment is done so that you get home on time. We have sedation if you need it too.

Just in case

We have a 24-hour helpline for any concerns, either before, during or after your dental treatment overseas.

Let’s face it, dentistry in the UK and Ireland is expensive. So much so that you may have made the decision not to go ahead with certain treatments that you’d dearly love to have because you just can’t afford it. Maybe you need to get lost teeth replaced, but the cost of doing so has left you with unsightly gaps. Maybe your smile is letting you down but you simply cannot justify getting it transformed when you have so many other bills to pay. But what if there was a way of getting dental treatment overseas with none of the risks? Well, there is, with us at Access Dental.

You may have heard of so-called dental holidays, where people leap on a plane and go to a distant city to get dental treatment overseas. You probably know someone who knows someone who has done this. Maybe you’ve even mulled it over for yourself and decided against getting dental treatment overseas because there seem to be too many pitfalls. Not with Access Dental. We offer the same clinical excellence that you would expect to find in a high-class dental practice in the UK or Ireland. We offer the same aftercare in our clinics in London and Dublin, but we can do it all for much lower prices because for the big things, we use our wholly-owned dental practice in Budapest, Hungary.

How it works

You send a panoramic x-ray of your mouth to our dentist in Dublin and if we think we can help, you come in for a consultation, either to our Dublin clinic or our London clinic. For some treatments, we can carry out parts of it here.

Then we book you into our Budapest clinic, meet you at the airport and take you to the hotels we always use because they are lovely, and then on the day of your treatment take you to and from the dentist. Everyone at our Budapest clinic is fluent in English and we have a 24-hour helpline for any concerns. Aftercare is carried at our clinicis out back in the UK and Ireland.
