Find fully verified specialists in Sopron and enjoy the best rates online when booking via Dental Departures.

Having dentures made and fitted is an ideal treatment option if you’re looking to combine your dental care with a holiday in this characterful, surprisingly sunny part of Central Europe.

Unless extractions are required, there is no need for surgery and thus no downtime in between or after appointments, allowing you to get on with your sightseeing, take some time out at thermal spa resorts or even spend a couple of days in nearby Vienna or Bratislava. 

The process in Sopron for dentures will involve:

• Initial consultation and check-up, with the dentist carrying out a thorough examination of your mouth.
• Upon confirmation, impressions are then made of your mouth which are sent to a dental laboratory, either on-site or at another nearby location.
• Specialists will fabricate your made-to-measure dentures over the following days.
• You will be asked to return once the dentures are ready; the dentist will fit them in the mouth, with any adjustments made if necessary.

Types of Dentures Available in Sopron 

Dentures can be used to replace a whole arch of teeth (full dentures), as well as individual or several missing teeth (partial dentures).

The false (or replacement) teeth may also be made from acrylic or porcelain, the latter option costing more but offering a more realistic appearance with improved function.

The most common types of denture available in Sopron are:

• Full or partial dentures (full acrylic)
• Full or partial dentures with porcelain teeth
• Snap-in denture
• Implant-supported denture
• Overdenture
• Temporary or “healing” denture (in the case where patients require extraction)
