Olive Bruce, 61, had issues with her NHS dentist near Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, and looked at alternative options before her daughter's wedding in 2003.
A woman who would never smile in photos due to her dodgy teeth travelled 28,000 miles for dentist treatment in Budapest - and says she never stops grinning now.
Olive discovered Kreativ Dental Clinic in Budapest, Hungary, which was offering treatment for UK patients at up to 70 per cent less than the prices for private dentistry in the UK, and was located above a garage. Since then she has been out to Budapest on 12 occasions, totting up to 27,960 miles. "It was above a garage but it was the most hygienic clinic. Peter has done all my treatment and he is fantastic.
Olive said: "When I got upstairs, it was totally different. The staff were fantastic making me feel relaxed, including my dentist. "It was costing a fortune and it kept coming off." In January 2022, when travel restrictions were lifted, Olive returned to Kreativ and got a bargain repair.
