Save on everyday dental work like fillings at one of our background-checked dentists in Mosonmagyarovar, Hungary.

Whether you’re in need of an emergency repair or wanting to combine this restorative procedure with a holiday or more complex work, this quaint border town is a convenient option, especially if you’re based near Vienna or Bratislava.

Fillings, as the name suggests, are used to fill in a tooth, restoring its structural integrity following damage or decay.

When the center of a tooth is exposed after being chipped, cracked or drilled as part of a root canal, it’s essential to cover the whole so as to avoid bacteria infiltrating the cavity, as this can lead to infection or even bigger problems down the line.

Fillings at our Hungary dentists can be made from:

• Dental amalgam (a mixture of metals)

• Composite

• Ceramic

• Zirconia

• Gold

There are also different types of fillings, such as inlays (that treat the cusps or bumps on the chewing surface of the teeth) and Onlays (which cover one or more cusps).

Learn more about the procedure with our main Dental Departures guide to fillings here.

Why Visit Mosonmagyaróvár Just for Fillings?

The truth is that unless you live in nearby Vienna or Bratislava, visiting a dentist here just for fillings probably won’t make sense, even though you will be saving a decent amount of money compared to back home. 

However, it could make financial sense to book an appointment for fillings along with other more complex work, like dental implants, or cosmetic treatments, such as veneers or teeth whitening.

Check out our clinic listing pages to see all of the treatments offered as well as price estimates, photos, reviews and more useful information. 

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Mosonmagyaróvár for a Filling?

In most cases, you will only need to stay in town for a couple of hours, with the appointment taking roughly an hour (if only fillings are required).

The procedure may first involve your dentist removing decay from the tooth with a specialised hand drill under local anesthetic.

The tooth is then cleaned before the cavity is packed with the filling material . Once hardened, your dentist will file the filling down to match the shape and size of the original tooth.

A composite filling costs roughly EUR 60 (GBP 50) in Mosonmagyaróvár.

Two and three surfaces may be EUR 80 and EUR 100 respectively.

Prices depend on the type of material and any additional work be, such as inlay/only, cleaning or scaling.
