How to Get Affordable Dental Implants in the UK via Dental Travel Agency

Dental problems can have a huge impact on the way you look and feel about yourself because your smile is something that people see on a daily basis. One of the best long term solutions to replace teeth that are missing, or need to be removed, is to get dental implants. You can get a single dental implant, or even get a full mouth of dental implants if that’s something your dentist thinks is needed based on your specific dental needs. Dental implants offer a long term, discreet solution when you need teeth replaced. However, dental implants in the UK are extremely expensive and that takes the option away for many people who simply can’t afford them.

If you’ve done searches like “affordable dental implant near me” you’ll likely have found local dental clinics that give broad price ranges. It’s not uncommon to be initially shocked by the dental implant price, it is quite expensive and can put a huge financial burden on the people who need them. If you’re reading this article, it’s likely that you already understand the cost of dental implants and that you’re looking for a way to save money so that you can afford the procedure. Luckily, there is a way to save a significant amount of money on your dental implants.

One option that not a lot of people are aware of is using a dental travel agency to travel to a certified dental clinic in another country where dental implants are more affordable. For example, dental treatments in Albania cost around 70-80% less than they do in the UK. Dental treatment prices in Albania are even cheaper than in Hungary, Poland, or Croatia. Below we will answer some common questions you may have about going through a dental travel agency to get your dental work done.

How much are dental implants in the UK?

First, if you haven’t looked up pricing for dental implants in the UK you may be surprised. Depending on the scope of the work needed, the cost to get dental implants in the UK will vary but are often much more than people anticipate when they first start looking into it as an option. As a rough estimation, full mouth dental implants with all on 4 or all on 6 implant systems will cost anywhere from £25-35K. Unfortunately, because of this high cost many people are forced to put it off for a long time while they prepare for this massive financial cost or decide to go without this procedure entirely when they really should have it done.

What is a dental travel agency?

A dental travel agency partners with certified and reputable clinics, hotels, and travel operators in another country to offer an all-inclusive experience, also known as a “dental holiday”. They arrange and coordinate your entire trip as well as your treatment from start to finish so that you can get affordable dental treatments.

Why do dental implants cost so much less in Albania?

You will fly into Tirana from London, and then depending on your treatment you will generally stay between 1 and 5 days for dental implants. Over this time you will generally have two/three visits to the clinic.
