When calculating the cost of dental care abroad, you need to compare apples to apples. Many times, in the UK and USA, you will receive only one cost, and then there are all these hidden costs. Ensure the dental treatment’s price is the same as the quote you receive in your home country.
In the UK, one dental implant can cost up to £3,500 ($5,000 in the USA), but at Smile Clinic Slovakia—Dental Holiday, you will pay only €820 for each implant, with a lifetime guarantee. Crowns, bridges, and veneers are also much less expensive. An all-ceramic crown and porcelain veneer can cost just £397 each.
Of course, when calculating the cost of dental care abroad, you must include a flight (Ryan Air, around £100 round trip) and accommodation at many of the hotels in town, which cost around €35/night per visit.
For this post, we will provide two examples: an “all-on-4” dental implant procedure and a smile makeover with typically 4-8 crowns on them.
The first example, All on 4 Dental Treatment –
Includes 4 implants supporting a fixed bridge of 12 new teeth completed by our expert implantologist, Dr. Marek. A full in-depth description of an All-on-4 dental implants.
Dental Treatment:
4 x (€562) Dental implants and 4 x (€258) Titanium Abutments = €3280 +
12 x (€397) Specialized and strengthened porcelain implant crowns = €4764
Total dental treatment = €8044 with lifetime guarantee
Flights and Accommodations:
3 visits at four days each (there is typically 1-2 months between visits for healing)
3 flights per person – £300
Meals at several restaurants in town are around £15 a day = £60 per visit per person = £180
Accommodation 3 visits at 4 days each, at €35 each day) = €140
Total flights and accommodations for 3 visits = £840
Total all on 4 treatment, plus flights and accommodations for three trips over six months = £7376
FREE of charge: You save in transportation, consultation, temporary bridge and healing caps = €330
You can expect to pay 50-70% more in the UK and USA. We offer initial quotes by email so the more information you give us the better the quote. Most treatments can be completed in 2 to 3 months depending on healing time and of course, our materials are of the highest quality. Dr. Marek (Mark) Salka has done thousands of dental implants, crowns, bridges, and veneers since 2006.
Extras:
If a bone graft or sinus lift is needed, it can also be done on your first visit at the same time as the dental implantation.
The cost for a sinus lift/bone graft varies from £400 to £800 depending on the surgeon’s time and the bone material involved.
+ any extractions which may be needed (£47 per tooth)
We require the payment in 2 parts:
£3920 is the amount payable on visit 1 – 60% of £6536 – the total fee of the “all on 4” system per jaw.
(12 crowns on a bridge supported by 4 dental implants & abutments)
The remaining 40% should be paid on your last visit.
(this is the total cost for the upper or lower jaw of 4 implants supporting 12 teeth. If you should need both done then the cost is x2)
Second example, Smile Makeover:
Typically, 4-8 crowns / veneers across the top teeth are all that is needed to create a new bright symmetric smile. A good way to check is by smiling in front of the mirror and checking how many unsightly, crooked, discoloured or uneven teeth are visible. This is the number of teeth that will need crowning/veneering. One visit is required for four days.
Pure ceramic crowns / veneers are £397 per tooth. There are no hidden or extra costs involved.
(Zircon / Emax is one of the best dental materials used in world-class dentistry today for dental crowns and bridges that last, look great when photographed, and have no metal in them whatsoever)
Dental Treatment:
4-8 crowns = £1188 – £2376
Flight = £100
Accommodations and food for four days approximately = £180
Total = £1468 – £2656
FREE of charge: Transportation to and from the Bratislava airport = £60 savings, consultation and x-rays include CT Scan – £150 savings. Total FREE savings of £210
