30 Medical Awards 2017/18 DENTAL CLINIC OF THE YEAR Kreativ Dental UK Patients from costly jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom and the United States are increasingly looking abroad for high quality, low cost procedures. This trend has seen Hungary emerge as the top European destination for dental tourism. In 2009, more than 35,000 Brits travelled to Budapest for dental treatment, growing to around 67,000 by 2012. Recognising this developing trend early, Kreativ Dental Clinic opened a new, purpose-built surgery complex in 2007, dedicating its efforts to establishing itself as the European leader in the field of dental treatment abroad. Having already established an excellent domestic reputation since being founded in 1996, Kreativ has since expanded this reputation overseas thanks to the consistent high quality and outstanding results with each completed procedure. UK patients undergoing dental treatments with Kreativ routinely save hundreds of pounds on procedures such as dental implants, crowns, bridges, cosmetic dentistry, bone replacement, restorative removable treatment, conservative treatment, diagnostics, and other restorative fixed treatments. For instance, popular treatments such as crowns starting in price from £250 rather than £420, while a DIO Implant will cost just £400 each saving patients £800 per implant compared to prices in the UK. Beyond the obvious cost benefits, the Medical LiveWire judging panel were impressed with the expertise of the Kreativ team. Despite being a $20 billion industry, medical tourism is still in its infancy and as such it is important that patients choose credible practitioners. The dentists who work at Kreativ have all been selected for their qualifications, expertise and experience. Most have now been working at the Kreativ Clinic for many years ensuring patients receive continuity of service with each procedure. Furthermore, the Kreativ Dental standards conform to and often exceed all of the most stringent EU regulations and requirements. Another notable aspect of Kreativ Dental is their after care service. In the unlikely event of a failure of the laboratory work, Kreativ agrees to meet the cost of airline travel to and from Hungary (up to the total value of €250) and hotel accommodation expenses (single room per night up to €42) in Budapest for the duration of the necessary remedial work. Additionally, after care and check-ups can be provided at Kreativ’s partner clinic based in London. Kreativ Dental Clinic currently sees between 200 and 250 patients from the UK and Ireland every month at its dental surgery in Budapest, Hungary. Kreativ are tried tested and trusted by thousands of UK patients who have visited over the last decade for procedures. www.kreativdentalclinic.co.uk +44 (0) 203 6530 331 office@kreativdental.co.uk Beyond the obvious cost benefits, the Medical LiveWire judging panel were impressed with the expertise of the Kreativ team.
