Implants, crowns, veneers and full-mouth restorations to restore function and appearance. Every quote is itemised in writing before you fly, and each clinic offer states its own inclusions.
A plain-English guide to gum contouring abroad: real price ranges, how to judge a clinic, and how the trip actually works.
Dental treatment abroad covers the full restorative range: implants to replace missing roots, crowns and veneers to rebuild or reshape teeth, and full-mouth restorations (All-on-4/All-on-6) for complete arches. The materials are global brands, Straumann, Nobel Biocare, E.max, so the work is portable: any dentist at home can service branded hardware.
The price gap in dentistry is the largest in medical travel: a single implant that costs £2,500-£3,500 in the UK is typically €650-€1,200 in an accredited clinic abroad, and a full smile makeover often costs less than two implants at home, including the hotel. Most treatment plans complete in one or two visits of 5-7 days.
Insist on brand-name implants with registered passports, a CT-scan-based treatment plan before you commit, and a written warranty that states who pays if a crown or implant fails. Ask the clinic for all three in writing, and check that the quote itemises every unit so there are no per-tooth surprises in the chair.
Veneers and crowns complete within a single 5-7 day visit. Implants need two: placement, then final crowns after 3-6 months of bone integration. Between visits you wear functional temporaries, and the clinic schedules the return around your integration scans.
Share your case once: photos and a short history. Clinics review it and return itemised written quotes, each stating a fixed price or an estimate. You meet the clinic's medical team on video before committing to anything. Matching is free, and each offer states its aftercare programme in writing.
Yes, accredited clinics abroad place the same Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Osstem systems used in the UK and Germany, with registered implant passports you can present to any dentist at home.
Veneers, crowns and smile makeovers: one trip of 5-7 days. Implants: two trips, placement, then final restorations after 3-6 months of healing. Your written plan states this before you book.
Ask for a written warranty in the quote stating repair and replacement terms. Because the materials are global brands, a local dentist can usually service them; ask the treating clinic how warranty repairs and return logistics are handled.
Placement is done under local anaesthesia or sedation; most patients describe pressure, not pain. Expect swelling and a soft-food diet for the first days, your plan includes a day-by-day recovery protocol.
