Useful
information about Czech Dentistry :
A
good dentist is a good dentist in most civilized countries.
But
each good dentist has his good or exaggerated price and short or
very long waiting lists and time spans for getting the job done.
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 and times.
For
a fraction of the price in a much shorter time span - in the Czech
Republic you can have your teeth repaired, get fillings done, have
crowns set, veneers fitted or have implants and even more complicated
work such as bone grafts / sinus lifts done whilst enjoying a short
holiday and saving a fortune on your UK etc. dental bills.
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 the Czech Republic.
The
money and bother you will save are unequaled anywhere else.
Quality
and standards of Czech Dentists
Czech
dentists, sociologists and orthodontists, Prague specialists for
oral surgery and any other type of dental treatment services in the
Czech Republic adhere to worldwide dentistry standards and are just
as good as most European dentists with one main difference:Czech
Dentists, albeit skilled dentists, have rates of dental services
and dental treatment costs which can be from half as cheap to 70%
cheaper than elsewhere in Europe or in the USA.
Apart
from the cost saving on dental treatment in the Czech Republic,
another advantage of getting your teeth repaired by a Czech dentist
is that there are no waiting lists for dental treatment.
Usually
you can book a dental appointment with a Czech dental surgery a few
days prior to the actual appointment as opposed to waiting for months
as in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland and elsewhere with other european
dentists.
Why
is Czech dental treatment so cheap ?
A
Czech teacher in an average Czech town can earn around 12.000
czech crowns per month [ Euro 413 ] so how can she be expected
to pay Euro 400 for a porcelain crown ?
She can't and most things being relative, even within the dentistry of the
Czech Republic and the average Czech wage it must be obvious that the costs
for dental treatment a Czech teacher would pay must be relative and on an acceptable
scale to his earnings.
Hence a porcelain crown done by Czech or even Prague dentists will cost considerably
less than elsewhere like in the UK, Italy, Germany or Switzerland not to mention
the USA.
Hence, also the monthly salary of an average but good dentist in Brno for example
would be within the range of Euro 500 to Euro 1,300 per month.
Other european dentists probably make this much per patient in one dental session.
Why
do Czech dentists offer affordable but
expert dental treatments
and dental care ?
As
with most specialized medical treatments in the Czech Republic,
Czech dentists offer affordable and cheap quality dental treatment
but are very skilled dentists indeed.
The same applies for Czech
periodontal or pediatric dentistry.
Oral
healthcare in Czech Republic is coordinated by the Czech Dental
Chamber ( Ceska
Stomatologicka Komora – CSK )
and along with the CSK, and other dentistry norms, Czech dentists
must adhere to top if not above European standards not only
by updating regularly their dental know-how with periodic seminars,
but also with practical experience in new dentistry techniques.This
is also transported into the implementation of the newest dental
technology and the most modern dentistry equipment.
Czech
dentists and how they qualify
to be able to offer dental treatment: Upon
qualification, there is a programme of vocational postgraduate
training for 24 months, under the guidance of skilled dentists
(with a certificate of the Dental Chamber). The training is completed
by examination – only then is the dentist able to lead his
own dental practice (as a fully licensed dentist). During
the training the dentist is a salaried employee. This post-qualification
training has a practical part (participant has to fulfil a list
of prophylactic, diagnostic and treatment items) and a theoretical
part of training (compulsory attendance on recommended courses
and lectures).
The
bottom line on dentists and
dental treatment in the Czech Republic:
Czech
dentists are no longer thought of only as:
'an east european dental treatment solution which costs less but who
knows how good the treatment is'.
Today
the dental treatment offered in the Czech Republic is renown for it's
quality and Czech dentists rate amongst the most qualified dentists
worldwide.
This
is also why Czech dentists are the most sought after dentists in the
UK and elsewhere in Europe, Canada and the USA to fill in the abysmal
gaps in their health services where most local dentists have gone completely
spoilt by the private sector and refuse to accept national health insurance
dental patients.
