Most people are afraid of the dentist. The reason of this can be that they met an incompetent or rude dentist in their childhood who gave them pain. Besides many people are in dread of the unpleasant sound of the drill.
Attila Knott said that their doctors get a special training how to ease the tension and fear of the patients. At the first meeting doctors gain information about the patients’ dental past. When was the first time when the patient was at a dentist? What memories does he or she have? According to Attila Knott it is very important that the patient share his or her fear with the doctor and in this way it can be solved by the dentist.
At the first time our doctors introduce themselves and they also demonstrate their professional past briefly and those specialities where they are trained in. The main aim of these is the patient feels he/she is treated by the best specialist. If the patients see they are at a competent dentist they open out easier and share their fears about the dental treatment.

On the walls of the surgeries copies of different degrees, courses and qualifications are on view for everyone.

After the introductory talking the dentists show the dental tools and they demonstrate how and what these things are used for. Attila Knott thinks most people are scared of the sound of the drill. The music could be the solution for the bad sound of this tool which can be listened by the help of earphones. After the first meeting the assessment of the patient’s dental state can start.

Story of Kreativ Dental - from the early days till today



Kreativ Dental was built 2006-2007. More precisely, from the August of 2006 until the July of 2007.The clinic consist 8 dental surgeries, lately had been two more added, so now it has 10 dental surgeries. It `s emploees had rised over 70 so far. They have 12 dentists including the specialists as well. 20 very well trained dental technicians. 7 of them are ceramists, 6 of them are metal technicians, 2 of them denturists, 3 of them plaster men and one of them the assistant of the 7 ceramists. Kreativ Dental has around 24/25 dental assistants and they have 2 dental assistant supervisors. Including 5 certified dental hygienists as well. It has a full logistic department with 7 employees. They have 4 translators too, Norwegian, Danish, French, Italian and German.

Kreativ Dental has several brilliant mechanical and technical solutions. Let`s talk about the so called Heat Pump system. That equipment had been designed and shipped from Vancouver, Canada to the clinic in the year of 2007.The building has no any gas source whatsoever! In all sealing pipes had been built in, in a serpent shape. In the summer time heath emits, winter cools down the facilities. In fact it had been more expensive at the beginning but after 4/5 years it is more economical, than the conventional gas or electric heating methods. Kreativ Dental also has a very high quality ventilation system which was made in Austria. It has 40-50 filters which are electronically connected to the building management system computer. If any of those is due to change, then it is shown on the computer that exactly where. The air which is sucked in from outside goes through that many filters so when finally arrives to its destination the employee’s breath in air like being in the high mountains!

Kreativ Dental previously had 8 dental surgeries, which were completed in 2007. Since then, due to the continuous growing demand, Kreativ Dental came to the decision that either to build 1 more clinic adjacent of the existing clinic across the street with 6 dental surgeries. That building would have been a 4 story high including a deep car garage as well. To getting the building permit for it took a mere 2 years long period, thanks to the local Hungarian bureaucracy! In the last minute after a company meeting, the management have decided that instead of a brand new dental clinic which would have cost more than 3 million Euros would convert its existing further educating training centre into 2 dental surgeries, waiting room and an office space. The construction works lasted only one month and after it the two dental surgeries were fully functional at Kreativ Dental. The clinic in the last year has hired four more excellent, well experienced dentists as well and they perfectly merge in with the rest of the dentists. That decision just have two more surgeries instead of four has came from the decision of Attila Knott the owner and manager of Kreativ Dental who has seen and understood the fact that Kreativ Dental won’t be able to increase its patients influx by 400-500 hundred more per month. Two chairs would be able to do a 150 more patients per month and this number in the next 1-2 years would be achievable. If let’s say 1 or 2 years later the 10 surgeries would be insufficient then we can still think an expansion but as of now it is not an issue, said Attila Knott. If we would have to increase the capacity of our in-house laboratory than we would purchase an industrial dental milling machine what can mill around 2000 unit per month from non-precious metal, zirconium, and acrylic. We would place that equipment to one of our house around the clinic. So far, we have purchased 4 private houses. In our laboratory presently we have 20 dental technicians and still we would be able to accommodate two more dental technicians but unfortunately not more.
No more working station in our laboratory is available for any further expansion, said Attila Knott the manager and owner of Kreativ Dental clinic. The good news is that we have a small but very high quality laboratory in the city of Budapest where we can send our overflow. They are working with us more than 5 years and we are very happy with them! They are doing an outstanding work and the owner of that particular dental laboratory was our own dental technician for five years long, so exactly he had learnt our way of doing dental works! We have to see that what the future will bring and accordingly expand upon it, said Attila Knott. Lately, we have replaced our two sand blasters for two brand new, which again have increased our quality on our laboratory for the better. Now, we can produce smoother surfaces on our crowns which would decrease the chance for chippings and for breakage! This is very important fact, because we are giving five years long guarantee on our works and in that way we can ensure a better longevity on our crowns and bridges. We are always looking where and what we can improve in order to serve our patients with the highest quality of treatments and services in dentistry! Always the best survives!
