How it works

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.

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.

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.

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.

At the clinic, never before you travel. There is no deposit to send, nothing to transfer to hold a date, and we take no card details when you enquire. Payment is staged as the work progresses, so you settle each phase as it is finished rather than paying for the whole plan up front. We accept card or cash at the clinic, in Romanian lei. Prices on this site are shown in pounds so you can compare them against UK quotes, but the invoice is issued in lei, which means the sterling figure depends on the exchange rate on the day you pay.

The quote covers the clinical side in full: consultations, X-rays and scans, the treatment itself, materials and every follow-up appointment, with no hidden extras. Flights and accommodation stay in your hands. You book directly, pay no agency markup, and choose the dates, airline and hotel that fit your budget. Once your dates are set we gladly suggest good areas to stay near the clinic.
