UK: Medical tourism agency offers low cost dental implants at home

Mon, 14 Jul 2014 11:02:21 GMT

Perfect Profiles used to send UK patients to Hungary and Poland for treatment. The excellent standard of dental care, along with the low costs, meant it was the most cost-effective option for people looking to save money on UK dental prices. But with the price of UK dental implants now starting at £1,500, instead of sending patients to dentists overseas, the company has decided to bring the overseas dentists to their clinics in Luton and Wolverhampton. The company argues that the advantages are obvious: the same low cost, high quality implants, but without the expense and inconvenience of travelling abroad. For people with missing teeth, dental implants can be a good solution. It admits that the same quality implants can be had in Hungary or Poland for £400, a third less than UK dental prices. But it argues that it is rarely a one-off procedure. Customers might need to go back to see the overseas dentist 2 or 3 times over a few months. So, once you have factored in the cost of several flights, hotels, food and time off work, the savings are no longer there. If people take good care of implants they can last a lifetime. But the crown attached to the implant will wear and need replacement within 3 to 10 years. UK dentists can be reluctant to treat work carried out by another dentist, especially if treatment outside the UK uses different procedures and materials. Perfect Profiles have two locations for dental patients near Luton in Bedfordshire, and Wolverhampton in the West Midlands. These offer easy access by car and public transport. So it is attracting customers from all over England and Wales. Luton Airport offers easy access and connections for patients from Scotland and Ireland.
