Other staff will be on hand to explain the price plan and flight and hotel costs.

Cecilia Varga, marketing director for Hungarian Dental Travel, said the clinic was visiting Stockport on Friday and Saturday to introduce prospective patients to the benefits of dental tourism She said it is also due to come to Newcastle, Liverpool, Glasgow, London, and Birmingham.

Ms Varga said patients who opted for treatment in Hungary could expect to receive aftercare from the same dentist in the UK at the mobile clinic.

Crowns and implants were the most popular treatments and the average spend was around £4,000, she said.

She added that a Manchester woman spent £13,000 with the company, after being quoted £40,000 for the same treatment in the UK.
