Budapest Dental Practice offers a choice of Hotels. We have negotiated special rates which are available when booking through us. However, if you are not happy with our choices, we can also help you to make a booking at any Budapest Hotel. For full details on your accommodation options click here.
How long should I stay for?
In all cases, a Consultation is necessary before treatment can be undertaken. It is possible to fly into and out of Budapest on the same day for the Initial Consultation.
The Consultation at our Surgery is free of charge and would inform you of your treatment options, the exact cost and time scale, including healing time (if necessary) and the number of visits that may be required.
Most patients prefer to come for the Consultation and proceed with treatment on the same visit, usually a 4-5 day stay. Alternatively once the Consultation has taken place you can return at a later date to begin your treatment.

Is dental implant surgery painful?
No. An effective local anaesthetic is used during the surgery so that you do not experience any discomfort during the placement of the implants. The mild discomfort you might experience after surgery can be controlled with mild painkillers.
If I am missing several teeth do they each have to be replaced with a separate implant?
No. If you are missing several teeth they do not each have to be replaced with a separate implant. Although implants are artificial roots one implant can be used to replace one or more teeth by way attaching bridgework to the implant. However, patients’ needs vary and the number of implants needed for any particular patient will be determined by a number of clinical factors.
I have a full denture, is it possible to replace this using implants?
Yes it is. To restore one jaw (upper or lower) normally requires 6 implants followed by 12 units of bridgework at a later stage. Patient can normally wear their denture while the treatment is in progress.
