British patients travel to Poland for dental implants.
Written by Alison Hope   
Frustrated with limited NHS dental provision and steep costs of private dental care, patients in the United Kingdom are travelling to Central Europe for procedures such as dental implants. In particular, Poland is emerging as a popular destination, as Polish dental surgeons enjoy a excellent reputation within Europe, and travelling to Poland has become affordable and convenient as a result of the many budget airlines that now fly to destinations across Poland.

Patients in the United Kingdom and other parts of Western Europe who are considering dental implants and other dental prosthetics, can make savings of up to 60%* by considering treatment at one of Poland's private dental clinics. This price comparison is based on the dental surgeons in Poland using exactly the same materials as would be used in a dental surgery in the United Kingdom.

Speaking from Warsaw, Lukasz Liese, Managing Partner of StatMedica, said “The patients who approach StatMedica to find out more about dental implants in Poland have typically done their research, usually with the help of the internet. They are already aware that they can get much better value for money by travelling to Poland, and in many cases be treated by some of Poland’s leading dental surgeons.”

Head of StatMedica's London operations, Alison Hope added, “while the exact figure will depend on factors such as the individual clinic and the specific procedure, considerable savings are certainly realistic - even after the cost of flights and accommodation have been taken into consideration. In fact, we anticipate an increase in the number of British dental patients travelling to Poland in 2008, as more people recognise that standards of dental care in Poland are very high, yet the cost of treatment is much lower than in the United Kingdom”.

StatMedica assists patients in selecting a suitable clinic, and can provide local support in Poland: from translation and interpreter services to 24-hour care by a qualified healthcare professional. Patients looking to find out more about surgery in Poland are advised to consult StatMeddica.com the portal dedicated to private healthcare in Poland or to contact Alison Hope on +44 780 571 5527.
