Made in Belgrade: New Arrival in UK Dental Tourism Market Offers Service with a (Serbian) Smile
YourFavouriteDentist.co.uk bridges gap between Britain and Belgrade
London, United Kingdom, January 28, 2008 --(PR.com)-- YourFavouriteDentist.co.uk, the trading arm of the newly-formed London-based company, Healthwizard Limited, has entered the growing UK dental tourism market.
A massive 20,000 British people travelled abroad for dental treatment in 2006 – and that figure is rising sharply.
With cost the biggest factor driving people overseas as they search for affordable dental treatment, Belgrade has emerged as a front-runner in this fast-growing market. The Serbian capital offers both high-quality dentistry and a city-break destination with genuine appeal. It is also beyond the limits of the European Union – which makes it much cheaper as a result.
And YourFavouriteDentist.co.uk is capitalising on Belgrade’s charm. But what truly marks out this new company compared to its more established competitors is its founder – Mr. Alex Cocic-Hill.
Born in Belgrade and a UK citizen for the past fifteen years, Mr Cocic-Hill required some serious dental treatment last year for which he was quoted £5,500 by his local dentist in north London. Like so many others, he simply could not afford such astronomical costs.
“Then a friend of a friend referred me to a dentist in Belgrade,” says Mr. Cocic-Hill. “I grew up there but hadn't visited a Belgrade dentist since 1985. Naturally, I was reluctant and uncertain at first.
“I needed two bridges and nine porcelain crowns. I flew to Belgrade with BA and stayed for ten days and saved around £4,000, including flights, which represented a saving of around 75% on the quote I had originally received from my UK dentist.”
Having such strong local links and a base in London brings many specialised benefits to Mr. Cocic-Hill’s customers. He has forged strong professional relationships with dental practices in both London and Belgrade. Indeed, the International Dental Centre, in west London, collaborates with Dr. Dragan Dimitrijevic, of the Smile Dent clinic in Belgrade, which provides a comprehensive range of dental services, including preventive care, restorative care, cosmetic dentistry and surgical dentistry, and is the preferred dental practice of officials and staff at the UK, US and Canadian embassies in the Serbian capital.
This, says Mr. Cocic-Hill, is why he sought to establish his company and build on his natural links. And what does he think of the cost of dental treatment in the UK? “It is difficult, for someone who has average earnings, or below average, to contemplate dental check-ups as a priority in every day life. That’s the simple truth.
“Trying to avoid regular visits to the dentist means further dental complications will arise with an adverse effect on your physical and mental state, and your wallet in the long run. Patients return to the UK not only healthier and more confident, but possibly thousands of pounds better off as well.”
