Hungary’s western border city of Sopron is a popular destination for a historical city break—and an even better stop-off for low-cost, high-quality dental implants.

If you’re looking for ways to save on your dental bills without compromising your safety, have a look at our verified clinics in Sopron that work with expert implantologists and other specialists.

Gy?r-Moson-Sopron county might be a close runner-up, welcoming thousands of patients every week.

The majority enter Hungary via land from neighbouring Austria, as well as Germany and Switzerland, where dental care is considerably more expensive.

Brits, too, can easily fly into one of the regional airports for as little as EUR 50 return, with Vienna approximately one hour away via motorway or train.

The main driving force behind any dental travel is always the price, and expensive treatments such as dental implant restorations offer some of the best cost savings of all.

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Sopron for Treatment? 

In general, dental implant treatment will usually require you to visit the dentist in Hungary for:

The surgical stage; and

The restoration stage ( attachment of permanent crown or prosthesis ).

The final restoration can generally be carried out once the implants have fully integrated with the bone and the gums have healed. This normally takes four to six months.

For each trip, there will be at least two appointments, so plan to stay in town for around three to five days per trip.
