It’s common for dental practices abroad to advertise implants for cheaper than the UK average, which is around £2,4151. The price difference can be due to a number of factors like lower wage and overhead costs, less-expensive premises and cheaper insurance costs.
However, there are a number of hidden costs which you need to factor in for each visit when you travel abroad, which include:
Return flights (of which there might be several)
Hotel accommodation, which could be up to three weeks for complex treatment
Fuel or train fares to and from UK airports
Airport parking charges
Taxi fares or hire car costs
Food and other living costs while you’re abroad
Taking time off work, including a loss of earnings from extra time off if needed
You may have to return to the practice multiple times, as well as for follow-up appointments, which means the costs can easily mount up. For complex treatment plans, patients may need to stay for up to three weeks, since there’s a waiting time required for your restoration to be made by a lab technician.
