Accommodation:

We will arrange a first class, safe and comfortable accommodation near the chosen clinic for you, in an apartment or a bed and breakfast with a friendly, helpful staff, for approx. 65 € a night. In case you prefer a four or five star hotel, we can arrange that for a reasonable price too, as we have many partner hotels. Detailed information about our partner hotels  can be found under the menu item ‘Dental Travel‘.

Total costs:

Why so much less?

Short answer: The cost of living in Hungary is about a quarter of what it is in Ireland.

Detailed answer: How is it possible for the cheap dental implants abroad to be 60% less? Where is the catch? Do the clinics use inferior materials for the dental works?
Our clinics use only the finest Swiss, Israeli, Swedish and German materials for your dental treatment. The low prices do not affect the quality at all.
But if Hungary is really world famous for its dentistry, why are the prices so low?
The reason is simple: the cost of living is much lower in Hungary than in Ireland and many other Western countries. Which means that it costs us less to give you the same or higher quality service. Therefore you can get world class quality dental services in Hungary for a fraction of what it would cost you at home. You can afford dental care of any kind better here, as the price of e.g. cheap dental implants abroad amount to much less.

Where is the catch?

Detailed answer: We do it in a third of the time! That is right. You finish your treatments and you get your smile back in a third of the time it would have taken you in Ireland. All this without depleting your savings. Will it hurt? It all depends on the type of treatment. How long will it take? What usually would be a year-long treatment for tooth implants, with the cheap dental implants abroad will be completed in just 3 months. What would take a year and a half for bone grafting and a complete smile makeover in Ireland, we will finish in 6 to 9 months.
Some of our patients ask why treatment with dental implants only takes three months in Hungary. Do we cut corners? Of course not. The reason we can do it in a third of the time is that we have a team of experts for every aspect. Our specialized dental clinics have all the equipment and specialists in one convenient location. Thus they can finish the different treatment steps faster.
