Firstly the lab-works (preparing the dental appliances) cost much less compared to UK or Irish lab costs. As Hungary was a destination for dental tourists (Austrian and German originally) for a long time, several dental labs are now available in Hungarian cities. The market grew rapidly which resulted in a price fall. Hungarian wages and taxation is also different which also makes the price cheaper. Lastly in Hungary there are services that were generally free, like the consultation or x-ray, that are normally charged for in the UK and Ireland.  What treatments worth traveling for:  Even having a single dental implant can save you  £300-£400 (€360-€480), but the bigger treatment you have the bigger the saving. 60% of our patients are looking for dental implants, usually 2 or 3 at a time.

For treatments like fillings, denture fitting, or a single crown or anything that has a total cost less than £200 (€240) will not worth a trip. Most of these minor treatment you can get free on the NHS. Calculate travel costs for a trip> How to reduce costs further?  You can save by booking ahead (eg: a month ahead).
