 Dental
treatment in Kromeriz ?
Latest news
on dental treatment in the Czech Republic.
This
website was mostly created for pleasure and hobby
since we, the creators of kromeriz.biz, started
going to Kromeriz mainly to get our teeth repaired
and to spend a few peaceful days there.
Then
our friends from Italy and the UK started coming
to Kromeriz to get their teeth repaired too, and
we then began to receive requests from people
from all over the globe who found this site through
web searches and so we thought it a pitty not
to tell the world and have since then expanded
our 'teeth pages'
Having
experienced various european dentists in Germany,
Spain, Uk, Italy, Switzerland and also those of
the Czech Republic, we and have found most to
be pretty good.
A
good dentist is a good dentist in most civilized
countries.
But
each good dentist has his good or exaggerated
price.
Czech
dentist work under equal if not above most european
and worldwide standards with an important difference.
If you have teeth problems and have been
quoted a fortune by your local dentist for the
work to be done and done in a longer time period
- then you might consider a trip to Kromeriz.
Pete
first came to Kromeriz in 1998 with his girlfriend
Simona to visit some friends and during their
stay they took the opportunity to visit a dentist
for a simple check up and a cost quote for some
work both knew would have to be done sooner or
later on their teeth.
Pete and Simona were then living in Italy and
were dreading not only the work they needed done
- but especially the Italian dental costs.
The
result of the Kromeriz dental exploratory visit
was an extended stay to 11 days during which both
Pete and Simona visited the dentist almost twice
a day - each and every day - to have the 'work'
done in record time and at very accessible costs.
Between
the two of them they had:
4 porcelain crowns,
2 reconstructed teeth,
9 fillings,
plaque removal,
partial paradontosis gum cleaning
teeth polishing.
Elsewhere
in Europe the time needed for all this drilling
and filling would have been at least 3 months
(UK) to 1 year (Italy) and the avarage cost for
example in Italy for this work would have been
around Euro 4000 upwards.
In
Kromeriz this was all done in 11 days and the
overall cost came to Euro 600.
Lock, stock and new teeth.
Recently
someone had work done in Kromeriz which basically
involved reconstructing all the upper teeth with
implants (riveting base structure to the jaw bone)
to hold the new metalceramic implantation and
teeth structure.
This came to cost Euro 4000.
Elsewhere
in Europe a similar 'job' would have cost around
Euro 20.000.
TWENTY THOUSAND !
We're
talking about dentists who work according to and
uphold top European standards.
Czech
dentists operate under stringent, top European
and worldwide standards and are easily compared
to USA, German, British, Spanish, Italian and
Swiss dentists in all aspects - apart from the
costs.
The
main difference in fact is the cost and the time
needed to have dental repairs done. For a fraction
of the price in a much shorter time span - in
Kromeriz you can have your teeth repaired, or
have implants or more complicated work done in
Prague, whilst enjoying a short holiday and saving
a fortune in dental bills.
The
money and bother you will save are unequaled anywhere
else.
Before you read
any further - please read and digest the next
paragraph as this involves a change in dental
services offered in Kromeriz starting as of January
2005.
The
Kromeriz dental practice will now only undertake
the following dental treatments:
• Crown /
ceramic
• Faceted Crown
• Root / canal treatment
• Bleaching / cosmetic treatment,
• Amalgamate filling with local anaesthetic
• Photocomposit filling with local anaesthetic
• Dental veneers / porcelain veneers
• Simple extraction with
local anaesthetic
• Prothesis (False teeth),
• Partial Prothesis (partial false teeth)
• Paradonthosis treatment
• Anti - Bruxism protection
• General exploratory visit
• Plaque cleaning and removal
• Oral X-ray and analisys
For implantation and more
complex work we now put visitors of this site
interested in such dental treatments in contact
with a Prague dental surgery.
The
Prague dental surgeons can undertake the following
dental treatments:
•
dental Implants
(Branemark system)
• surgery
• bone graft
• sinus lifting
• transplantation of the mandibular nerve
The reason why the dental
praxis in Kromeriz no longer accepts patients
through our services for implantation or any complex
dental treatment but only for the standard services
as described above is very simple.
Kromeriz is so near to
Austria (190 km from Vienna) and recently Austrians
also discovered that dental treatment in Kromeriz
if 5 times cheaper than in Austria.
Due to this the Kromeriz
dentist is now overwhelmed with Austrian patients
who have no problem in coming over for an initial
exploratory visit for implants and such.
This is much easier for
the dentist to be able to first examine and decide
what and how to do implants than with patients
flying all the way from the UK so they prefer
to deal with directly arriving patients.
So if you need anything
but implants or complex dental treatment you can
still book the Kromeriz dentist through our service.
But for implants etc -
we now use a Prague dental surgery.
But before you now think
that Prague may be even better than Kromeriz as
far as costs go...
A
small distincion between Prague and Kromeriz dentists
should however be stated.
Prague is an economical
island in it's own right inside the Czech Republic
and the average wage in Prague is 150% of the
average wage elsewhere in the Czech Republic.
Hence even standard dental treatment costs more
in Prague if compared to elsewhere - like to Kromeriz.
So for any international
patients looking to get dental work done via these
pages - for implants and other complicated surgery,
Prague is the only viable option due to the fact
that for such services several visits may be necessary
and require specialist dental surgeons with absolute
competence and equipment for such treatments.
Not as cheap as the rest of general dental work
done outside of Prague, but still much cheaper
than if done in the UK, USA, Germany or Italy
Advanced
dental treatment services such as implants and
complicated dental surgery are done in Prague
because having such treatment done is much more
serious than getting a simple filling and the
dental surgery in Prague offers the best facilities
for such tretments and they speak english.
Also Prgaue is easier to reach as with
implant several visits are required.
Please bear in mind then
that the dental services described in the following
sections on this site fall into two categories:
1 - most
standard dental work done in Kromeriz
2 - complicated
dental services such as implantology,
surgery, bone graft, sinus lifting, transplantation
of the mandibular nerve done in Prague
In both cases, cheaper
than elsewhere especially the standard dentistry
done in Kromeriz.
Why
is general dental work so professional but then
still so cheap in the Czech Republic ?
It's
professional because if the comunists were good
at one thing - it was providing top medical services
to the people. This aspect has gotten even more
professional since the comrades got thrown out
in 1989 and in the last 15 years the Czech dental
service have caught up to match if not better
all the latest technology available elsewhere
like in the USA and rest of Europe.
Cheap
?
Actually it's not that it's cheap - it's just
that these are the local rates.
Someone
such as a teacher in Kromeriz, who makes about
Euro 350 a month can't be expected to pay Euro
700 for a single porcelain crown can they ?
International patients pay local prices.
How
can you get your teeth repaired in Kromeriz ?
You could just turn up on your own in
Kromeriz, find a dentist and hope he can fit you
in but we do suggest having someone who speaks
Czech with you and in getting an appointment and
cost quote well in advance.
The
same applies to Prague.
Just
turning up is NOT ADVISABLE.
Simply because like other European dentists, Czech
dentists have their appointment schedules which
are pretty tight and just turning up after coming
all the way from Australia to only be told to
come back in 6 weeks would be a shame.
The
correct procedure in getting an appointment in
Kromeriz or in Prague with the dentist and eventually
having dental treatment done is as follows:
A)
First of all check out the dental services and
price list:
Price
list of dental services
B)
Read
the FAQ page.
If you don't read the FAQ page and do not follow
the procedure described you will not receive a
reply from Pete concerning any request you might
have made.
Please note - we the creators
of this website DO NOT get any comission either
from the dentist, nor from the patient for any
dental treatment done either in Prague or Kromeriz.
Pete
and Pavla (Pavla speaks various languages and
helps out when Pete is unavailable), offer dental
appointment booking assistance and interpreting
services which are seperate from the actual dental
work done for which you pay the dentists directly.
As
stated above, we know from personal and direct
experience that having teeth done in Kromeriz
under professional dentistry standards one receives
top quality material (crowns, fillings, implants)
under exceptional hygene and working standard
at ridicolously cheap costs compared to dentistic
treatments available elsewhere in europe. And
all this in very in pleasant surroundings.
You
also get the satisfaction of not contributing
to a new set of tyres to some Italian, German
or Dutch dentist's Porsche.
Also,
it's our small way of bringing visitors to the
beautiful town of Kromeriz.
The town council are pretty useless in this aspect.
