Why Tina Koumarianos and many Irish celebrities travel for their new smiles With some well-known faces such as Ken Doherty, Tina Koumarianos, Cathy O’Connor, Claire Tracey and Lisa Murphy amongst the many patients visiting Kreativ Dental Clinic in Budapest, Hungary each month, it’s no surprise the clinic has been looking to expand its presence. Voted the Best Dental Clinic in Europe in 2015, the doors of its second dental facility, Kreativ Dental 2, have just opened to give more patients, both regulars and new, the opportunity to achieve their perfect smile

t’s been 17 years since Kreativ Dental Clinic first opened its doors to the public and since then, famous customers including former world snooker champion Ken Doherty, renowned television personalities Maura Derrane and Tina Koumarianos, and stylist Cathy O’Connor, amongst many others have visited. In the last 18 months, there has been an average of 350 patients between the UK and Ireland travelling to Kreativ Dental per month. Other European patients are following suit, as are those from the US and even those coming from as far as Australia. This means the only way the clinic – which provides various treatments by dental specialists, including dental implants, root
canal treatment and full porcelain crowns – could cope with the high demand was to build an additional clinic beside the present clinic. “We are very proud and excited to be able to open Kreativ Dental 2 for our patients this autumn,” says Attila Knott, Managing Director and owner. “Due to continuously increasing demand, the expansion into Kreativ Dental 2 will allow us to help more patients from across Europe and the world. Our goal is to improve the health and life quality of our patients, restoring their dentition, well-being and confidence in their smile. As we fine-tune the operation we would be able to increase our capacity to 800-850 patients per month, meaning a possible 30 per cent increase in the number
of patients we can treat.” Kreativ Dental 2 is a purpose-built facility containing four surgeries, a dental laboratory, CBCT scan and orthopantograph x-ray, consultation rooms, spacious garden and terrace for patients to relax in. The four new surgeries will also welcome four dentists: two implantologists, one prosthodontist and a root canal specialist. Kreativ Dental 2 also employs many experienced assistants, including reception staff, translators and patient care managers.
Smile confidence
Past patient and the Irish representative for Kreativ Dental Clinic, Mary Flanagan, is delighted to welcome this new expansion as she understands the life-changing effects
of achieving your perfect smile and the importance of getting more access to quality treatment at a much lower price. Mary had many problems with her teeth before and over the space of 10 years, had root canal treatments, crowns fitted which later fell out and eight teeth extracted due to failure of root canals. “I was told by an Irish dentist that my only option was dentures and another told me getting work done would cost up to €60,000. I had so many problems with dentists over the years that I was apprehensive before making the journey to Budapest but, on the advice of a retired Irish dentist, I’m so glad that I did.” Mary ended up having eight implants and 26 porcelain crowns fitted at the much lower price-tag of €12,000, plus €400 for her flights.
“It was absolutely brilliant. I finally got my confidence back and I couldn’t be happier with my teeth.” Tina Koumarianos, Ireland’s famous Agony Aunt, Etiquette Expert and TV3 Midday panelist, was also extremely impressed by her first visit to Kreativ Dental when it was recommended to her by a friend 10 years ago. Since her highly successful dental treatment, Tina now makes yearly trips back to Kreativ Dental Clinic for her annual check-up and professional hygienic treatment. “If you’re unhappy with your smile and it’s this affordable to get fixed, then you should go for it,” says Tina. “I’ve never had any problems with my crowns and when I return for my free annual check-up, the staff tell you honestly if you need anything done or not. A lot of people dislike trips to the dentist because you know it’s possibly going to be a painful experience but at Kreativ, you

don’t feel any pain.”
Dental needs
Kreativ Dental 2 contains a second laboratory which includes a plaster and metal work department, and a ceramic department where dental technicians and ceramicists are situated. The clinic provides

aftercare dentists in Ireland and there is a written guarantee on all work, which includes flights and accommodation. Ken Doherty former world snooker champion says: “I have been to Kreativ Dental Clinic in Budapest and it’s an amazing place. The quality of treatment is five-star and I would highly recommend it to anyone. There are huge savings to be made in comparison to Irish dentist prices and Budapest is also a fantastic city to visit! Beautiful scenery, buildings and, of course, plenty of shopping. Eating out is great and also very inexpensive.” And for those who may feel nervous about the dental treatment, the helpful staff and state-of-the-art clinic can help put your mind at ease. Mary is always on hand to offer support and advice to those who are considering dental treatment at Kreativ Dental, and travels to Budapest monthly with patients who are nervous. “I will be there to support you before you go, while you’re there and when you go home,” says Mary. “This service is unique to Kreativ Dental Clinic and its Irish patients. “You can achieve your perfect smile at 60 per cent less than Irish prices, while tax back is also available. The next available
accompanied trips are on 22nd January and 19th February 2017. However, if you are considering booking for any month, I would recommend you book at least two to three months beforehand, as these trips book up within two days.”
