How much can I save when having dental implants & cosmetic dentistry abroad?
You can save approximately 50-70% on your dental treatment if you need dental implants abroad, crowns, bridges, veneers or dentures. We’ve created a couple of senario examples so you can calculate your costs.
Why do dental implants and cosmetic dentistry treatments cost less abroad?
In central Europe property costs much less and wages are also less than in western Europe. This means the cost of dental work, such as implants abroad, bridge and crown work, is half /one-third of western European prices. However, the quality of central European dental services is acknowledged as excellent all over Europe. This is why towns such as Budapest, Bratislava, Prague and Krakow are such popular destinations for dentistry abroad.
Do dentists use the same materials and techniques?

They are continuously refreshing and improving their professional skills by participating in national and international courses and workshops. Our surgeries are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and the products of the best-known brands, such as Branemark dental implants, Ankylos dental implants and Cerec 3 crowns, are used by our professionals. We would like to invite you to a tour of our dental clinic abroad and on site labs.

To be continued with why choose a dental clinic abroad >>> and why choose us >>>?
Hi I am thinking of having 2 inplants with one fales tooth on the end . I have a two week time frames can all this be done in the two weeks .
Dear Eileen, thank you for leaving a comment about the 2 dental implants that you need. Certainly, the implants can be placed within 2 weeks, and a temporary bridge placed during the healing time, which is around 3 months usually. Does that help?
Dear Koh, we very much focused on all brands of Straumann dental implants & some Ankylos dental implants, unfortunately we will not be using any different implant brand anytime soon.
Sincerely, Daniel
If I require 3 dental implants at the front and top what happens in between treatments as 1 half tooth needs removing, and treatments take 2 or 3 visits. Do you offer dentures.
Hi Andrew, in between times you’ll have temporary teeth there – we fit them on visit 1. The half a tooth would be removed or treated on visit 1 as well.
We replace dentures with fixed teeth, so no- we would never want to give a patient the uncomfortableness of something that now belongs in the dark ages. Dental implant supported crowns / bridges are the way forward. I hope that helps!
I’m considering all on 4. Could you tell me what the final teeth will be made from ie acryilic/ ceramic
Thanks
Hi Lee, the semi-permanent bridgework immediately fitted after the implant placement session on visit 1 are acrylic. This is to ensure that you immediately got home with a confident, working mile for the next few months while the healing takes place. Then on visit 3 we place the final bridgework – this is of course made from full layered ceramic (usually ziconia).
Does that help?
Hi. Do you offer sedation for nervous patients
Dear Nikki,
Thank you for your comment. We do offer general anaesthetics and also oral sedation, however, all our treatments are done under local anaesthetics. For more information please contact us via the contact form on this site.
I´m looking forward to hearing from you again
Kind regards
Nika
