Plan your dental trip to Bucharest.

Romania is an EU member state, so clinics operate under the same EU medical device regulations and sterilisation standards as the UK, Germany or France. Our dentists are registered with the Romanian dental college (CMSR), and your treating dentist’s name and registration number come with your treatment plan, so you can verify them in the official register before you book.

The difference depends on the treatment. In our comparison table, veneers are about 45% below the UK reference price and zirconia crowns about 52%. Compare your itemised treatment quote and include flights and accommodation.

Implant work carries a 10-year guarantee and other work 5 years. If an issue arises, we first assess it remotely with photos or a local X-ray. If it needs chair time, we treat it free of charge on a return visit, and in defined cases we contribute to travel costs. The guarantee terms are in writing in your treatment plan.

Veneers, crowns and whitening: one trip of 4-8 days. Implants: two shorter trips, three to four months apart, because the implant must fuse with the bone before the final tooth is fitted. All-on-4: fixed temporary teeth in the first trip, final bridge on the second. Some cases need an extra visit, usually where gum treatment or bone grafting has to happen first. If yours is one of them, your written plan says so from the start. You should never discover that you need another trip once you are already in the chair.

Yes, every clinician treating international patients consults in English, and your patient coordinator handles everything else in English from the first enquiry to the follow-up after you are home.

You can request an estimate before travelling. Any preliminary estimate is subject to assessment by the treating dentist. Ask for an itemised written plan, exclusions and any possible additional costs before committing. Photos alone do not confirm suitability or a final price, and a response time is not guaranteed.

Direct flights reach Bucharest (OTP) in around 3 hours from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Dublin, often for less than a UK train ticket. You pick the airline and times that suit you, and once you land the clinic is about 25 minutes away. Taxis and apps like Bolt and Uber are inexpensive, and we send clear directions with your appointment confirmation.

No. Romania is in the Schengen area and neither British nor Irish citizens need a visa for a treatment trip. A British passport allows up to 90 days in any 180 day period, far longer than any treatment plan requires, and Irish citizens travel under EU free movement with no limit. Two passport rules do catch people out, so check both before you book a flight: your passport must have been issued within the last 10 years on the day you arrive, and it must have at least 3 months left on the day you fly home. The EU is also phasing in ETIAS, an online travel authorisation similar to the American ESTA, which will apply to British visitors but is not a visa. Rules change, so confirm the current position on the UK government travel advice pages before you travel.
