Default Dental Implants

HI,

I have just had a very bad experience from a Hungarian company. I am still in shock to find that after a year ago of having 7 implants placed and continuous pain, I now have to under go extensive remedial work. Three of my teeth need to be removed I have a cyst infection and decay. I had spent £9,000 for my treatment. I kept writing to the agent that I was in pain I went to see them twice in London. Nothing was done. I then paid to have a scan done elsewhere. Then when I got back to them they sent me an email telling me that, I had NEVER complained of pain!! My god, what liars. I have so much proof to the contrary that I can't see how they hope to get away with this. Other customers I have met have not been happy.

Which brings me to this: Be very wary of websites, forums when they a praising dental companies abroad. How genuine are they? Yesterday I tried to post on a forum that helps people to decide where to go for treatment. My post was turned down. I wondered why. it was obvious there were only good things on there so people will carry on using these dentists because they have not been told the truth they only read the good comments the bad are held back. This is so wrong, where can anyone get a proper review good and bad. (they must be paid for advertising) I used BHMS and I will make sure that everyone knows what liars they are and how they try to take more money off you for their mistake.

hi mf
sorry to hear about your terrible experience. unfortunately, this happens all too often
i am sure there are some excellent dentists abroad and the low fees must make this approach very appealing
however it does not matter how cheap it was if it doesn't work or has been done badly, i have seen one women who had 18 implants placed of which 15 had failed and the other 3 had to be removed as they were in the wrong place
if you want to go abroad for treatment do your research
find out what implants are they using...
what qualifications they have...
how many implants have they placed...
what their failure rate is (don't believe anyone who tells you 0)...
what lengths of sterility do they go to
can you talk to some one who's had the treatment
how long they guarantee their work & what happens if things go wrong
how long they have been in business at that location etc...
Hope that helps
Nick
