Hungary for Affordable All-on-4® treatment concept Prices? Pros & Cons

2019-03-20 22:36:41 by 

With rising dental costs at home, Brits are looking towards countries like Hungary where the same quality of care can be found for significantly less.

This is especially the case with the All-on-4® treatment concept, one of the most expensive dental treatments available. However, finding quality care in Hungary needs careful consideration.

Below, we take a look at the pros and cons.

Pros of Getting Treatment in Hungary

The Low Price

This is the biggest benefit of having the All-on-4® treatment concept carried out in Hungary. This innovative implant system costs, on average, a whopping £19,382 (€23,130) in the UK. Here is what two of the top Hungarian clinics charge for the same treatment:

[Note: these are estimated prices calculated at the time of writing. Please see our clinic listings for up-to-date prices.]

This translates into a saving of up to 80%! Granted, some of that money will go towards travel and accommodation costs, but flights from the UK can be bought for around £200 while hotel rooms in Hungary are also extremely affordable.

Travelling to Hungary is a reasonable solution if you can’t afford this procedure in the UK - as long as you pick a reliable clinic like the two above.

The Same Quality of Care

Just because you are spending around 20% of what the same procedure would cost at home, it doesn’t mean you are settling for a lower standard of dental care. As long as you head to a reputable clinic in Hungary, you will enjoy the same level of quality as you would get back home. In fact, Hungarian dentists, particularly those based in Budapest, are among the finest in Europe.

Most of our listed clinics are located in the beautiful capital of Budapest, which is known as the dental capital of Europe since it accounts for 40% of the continent’s share in the international dental tourism industry. You simply don’t get to enjoy such prestige if you are skimping on quality as a way of offering cheap dentistry to the international market. Moreover, since Hungary is part of the European Union (EU), dentists are regulated by EU authorities, as well as domestic ones.

But, why are the prices so low in Hungary? The main difference is that both operating costs and living expenses are much lower than in the UK. These and some other factors translate into the affordable dental care that Brits are so eager to enjoy.

Enjoy a Vacation

Budapest is where most clinics serving dental tourists are located. This beautiful city is a paradise for tourists, offering something wonderful at every turn. From its abundance of hot springs to sophisticated styles of European cooking to historical remnants of WWII, there is a lot of interesting things to see here.

Here is some useful information on traveling to Hungary:

  • Flight from London to Budapest: 2 hours

  • Average flight ticket: £200 (€227)

  • Three-star hotel per night: £50 (€57)

  • Five-star hotel per night: £158 (€180)

Cons

Two Visits Are Required

As with all implant procedures, implant-based mouth restorations require two separate visits to the dentist, around six months apart.

This time is required for the implants to fuse with your jawbone. Two trips may seem inconvenient, but it doesn’t mean twice the hassle because everything can be booked as one whole package. Plus, since you will be saving up to £15,000 on the treatment in Hungary, you will still end up saving money even after accounting for the expenses of two trips.

The only matter then is the non-financial aspect: whether you will be able to make time for another trip. You may need to take more time away from your job, business or other responsibilities you have.

Getting Started

All in all, it is clear to see that for most people the pros of getting affordable restorative dental work in Hungary might easily outweigh the cons.
