Offering a range of safe sedation and anaesthesia options, our partner dentists in Mosonmagyaróvár are experienced in performing pain-free root canal therapy.

Apart from your new surroundings in Hungary, the only difference is the price, with savings of up to 70% available in this hugely popular border town for dental tourism.

In other words...if you need a root canal, you’ll probably know it! 

It’s important to not put off having a root canal as it is possible to lose the entire tooth if the infected pulp is not cleared. And contrary to popular belief, the procedure can be completed without any pain thanks to effective and safe anaesthesia options.

During a root canal procedure: 

• The area is first numbed using a local anesthetic; sedation options may also be available to help you feel comfortable and relaxed.

• To start, a small opening is drilled into the middle of the tooth, providing access to the pulp chamber and tooth roots.

• The infected pulp can then be removed from the chamber and roots; this is done using a specialised hand-held suction device.

• After all the debris has been removed, the tooth is cleansed and an antibiotic is placed inside the cavity.

• The cavity is finally sealed with a filling.

Note: A crown may also be used in cases where the cavity is too large for a conventional filling, or when the structural integrity of the tooth has been compromised.

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Mosonmagyaróvár for My Root Canal?

Typically, patients will need to stay in Mosonmagyaróvár (or nearby) for a few days, although simple procedures can be completed in just one day. 

Several factors will determine how long your treatment takes and the number of appointments required; for instance: 

• The number of canals in the tooth.

• The complexity of the procedure.

• Whether a crown is required to reinforce the tooth.

• If there is an infection still present, this will need to be treated with antibiotics before the procedure.

A simple root canal costs approximately EUR 50 (GBP 45) in Mosonmagyaróvár. More complex work may cost between EUR 100–200 (GBP 90-180).

When compared to prices in the UK where treatment can often exceed GBP 500, the quick trip to Hungary could be well worth it, especially if you’re in the region on holiday.

Sometimes referred to by both locals and foreigners as simply “Ovar,” this Hungarian town is making a name for itself on the world dental tourism stage as one of the most-visited places for affordable care. 

This is of course thanks to the considerably lower prices that Hungarian dentists are able to charge, but also its convenient location right near the country’s borders with Austria and Slovakia, making it easy for patients to drive or get the train in from nearby Vienna or Bratislava. 

Although this small town doesn’t offer much in the way of things to see and do (other than getting your teeth fixed), there’s always the option to visit one of these nearby cities and make a real holiday of it around the Danube’s “Big Three”.

For those planning a stay in Ovar, there are a couple of museums, spa resorts, as well as shopping areas, cafes and restaurants to pass the time in a very charming part of Hungary.
