January 2018Day 1 - I arrived in Budapest and stayed in a modern, clean little holiday apartment I found (€600 approx for 9 nights). It was easy to get from the airport (€16), though the dentist studio would have helped me with airport pick up if I'd have asked.
Day 2 - First visit with Peter. Peter was lovely and friendly. I had no idea how long I would be in the dentist chair that day so was a little nervous but in 1.5 hours Peter had given me injections so I couldn't feel anything, removed the temporary veneers I was wearing, made some moulds of my teeth upper and lower teeth, decided what our plan of action should be and made me some new temporary veneers to wear while I waited for my next appointment. After the injections wore off that afternoon, I wasn't in any pain at all. My new temporary veneers were a little rough around the edges but they were fine for the week. A couple pinged off during the night which was my fault as I was grinding my teeth and was woken up by a crack and realised what I had done! It didn't matter to me as they we're at the sides so I just carried on without them for the rest of the time. Peter had said he wouldn't fix them super tight so they wouldn't be a nightmare to remove. It was fine.
Days 3 to 7 - I went sightseeing all around Budapest visiting the shops and Christmas markets that were everywhere. I didn't realise that I wouldn't need to be at the dentists at all during this time. I thought I was spending pretty much a week in the dentist's chair so that was a welcome surprise. I could have gone home if I'd have wanted to but I was quite happy to stay.
Day 8 - I had misheard and thought I was in the dentist chair for 1 hour per tooth today. With 8 veneers to fit I was already nervous as I entered the studio. Peter and I laughed when I realised it wouldn't take anywhere close to that. Within 1.5 hours, my teeth were fitted. I couldn't believe it! I was so happy with them, my lips were still all numb and my gums were red but so far, they looked great. I felt a bit battered for the rest of the day but had expected to and spent the afternoone and evening watching movies on the sofa with a duvet.
Day 9 - I flew home
End result - I've had my teeth for almost a month now. I am very, very happy of them. I am no longer closing my mouth every time someone has a camera near me or hiding my mouth when I laugh. They are better than I had hoped. I am 100% happy and would definitely do it again if I needed to. They feel like my own teeth. I'm not biting on the front ones when I eat like I would have with my own teeth but maybe because I'm so used to wearing temporary teeth as I've had them over a year before finding Peter. They don't feel in any way as though they might not stay stuck where they should be!
I've battled with my teeth for so long and spent so much time and money having temporary veneers fitted, Xrays, consultations, past veneers... I feel as though I've been pushed and pulled and was so fed up of my wonky teeth I wished I could remove them and wear false ones. My denist in Milan told me it would be €8,000 at my first appointment which was shocking, then a couple of appointments later (for consultations, Xrays, photos...) the price went up to €11,000, then maybe I should have braces first... in the end the price was over €20,000 and I told them to stop. I was so fed up at that point and I didn't know what to do. I was looking at all kinds of crazy solutions - snap on smiles, 4 year veneers... I was so afraid of spending hours and hours in the dentist chair. I just wanted to give up. I'd had enough.
I cannot even begin to tell you how quick and easy Peter made it. I have NO idea what my other dentist was thinking and the amount of unnecessary pain and torture he put me through makes me quite cross now. I know to say it was torture is a bit harsh, but after being through what I had been through, it honestly felt like it!

June 2017Communication was good. The place was clean and the dentist professional. His staff were also very helpful and pleasant. I went for an appointment at 11, was taken to a different site for X Ray and then had the post fitted. By 12.45 I was at my accommodation with ice pack, painkillers and antibiotics. I returned the next day for the dentist to check that everything was ok. Everything was explained to me and I found the dentist personable and helpful. I will be returning in the future for two crowns.

May 2016I had multiple implants done so it required a first trip then a subsequent trip 3 months later to complete. Both trips the driver was prompt on pickup and drop off at the airport. Dental care was friendly and professional. I felt more comfortable there than my local dentist. Value for money is excellent compared to the UK and Budapest is a lovely bonus to tour in the process. Wizz Air flies cheap and I rented a local apartment in the city center also for cheap. All in all it is really worth doing rather than getting ripped off in the UK. Don't hesitate - the quality is the same if not better than here in the UK.

May 2015I was very happy with the whole process of arranging a dentist appointment as well as the treatment received at the clinic. After sending out some emails to various dentists I was contacted by someone from Medigo who told me that they would take contact with the dentist. The dentist then even called me himself to make an appointment. I only send my request two days in advance of travelling to Budapest, so I was positively surprised that everything went so good.
The dentist (dr. Benedek) was very professional and honest. I didn´t need any big dental treatment this time so it is hard to say anything about that, but if I would be in Budapest again and have to go to a dentist I would definitely go back to him.
The dental hygienist gave me a dental cleaning treatment and I was also satisfied with the result.Jochem , Norway Teeth Cleaning -

The clinic was visited by a Medigo team member
The clinic is situated in the heart of the historical center of Budapest. Access on foot or public transport is extremely easy. Car parking is not possible on the same street, as only pedestrians are allowed, however, there are parking facilities in several hotels nearby. Brand new clinic with new modern equipment and design. The staff were very friendly helpful during my visit.
