What do Romanian clinics charge for dental implants?
Prestige Dent and Life Dental Spa price the implant and the crown separately, so add the two to compare like with like.

|---|---|---|---|
| Prestige Dent (Braศov) | Dental implant 2,650 lei | Zirconia crown on implant 2,100 lei | All-on-4 per arch 30,000 lei; All-on-6 per arch 36,500 lei (implants, temporary and final teeth) |

Prices are copied exactly as each clinic shows them, in the clinic’s own currency, and we have not converted them. They are one clinic’s published price each, checked on 14 October 2026, and your quote after a scan can differ. Life Dental Spa publishes a separate list for each town where it has a clinic, so check the list for the clinic you would visit.
Is it safe to have dental implants in Romania?
The UK dental regulator cannot vouch for dentists in Romania. The General Dental Council says: “We can’t guarantee another organisation like us exists in other countries, or even that the standards will be the same as they are here.” It suggests you research the local rules first: “Does that country have a professional regulatory body? Is it compulsory for dental professionals to be registered with them?”
Two more points from official UK guidance:
- The GDC: “You should always be assessed by a qualified dentist before being given a treatment plan and cost estimate.”
- The TravelHealthPro factsheet on travelling for treatment from NaTHNaC: “Medical advice from an administrator, a travel agent, or member of a sales team is not acceptable.” It adds that the British Dental Association “strongly advise anyone considering treatment abroad to check a dentist’s qualifications and experience and whether they are insured if things go wrong”.
How do Romanian prices compare with UK prices?
To compare, here are UK prices in pounds. We have not converted the Romanian prices above, so check the exchange rate on the day you get a quote. On 14 October 2026 we checked the fee pages of clinics in six UK cities. These are the published starting prices for a single implant in each city:
| City | Clinics checked | Starting price for a single implant |
|---|---|---|
| London | 10 | ยฃ2,499 to ยฃ4,250 |
| Manchester | 10 | ยฃ2,100 to ยฃ3,140 |
| Birmingham | 10 | ยฃ2,100 to ยฃ4,280 |
| Glasgow | 10 | ยฃ2,200 to ยฃ4,169 |
| Edinburgh | 10 | ยฃ1,495 to ยฃ3,500 |
| Bristol | 10 | ยฃ2,500 to ยฃ3,830 |
Starting prices do not all cover the same work. The NHS describes the treatment like this: “a titanium screw is placed into the jaw bone to support a crown, bridge or denture.” Some clinics price the screw, the abutment that joins it to the tooth and the crown separately, so compare totals. For a like-for-like figure, Forest & Ray Bloomsbury in London lists an implant with the crown included from ยฃ2,499. Each city page shows what every clinic’s price covers, and the UK cost guide links to all of them.
Who pays if something goes wrong in Romania?
In most cases you do. Official UK guidance makes these points:
- Your GHIC is for state healthcare. The FCDO travel advice for Romania says: “To get medically necessary state healthcare in Romania, you need a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).” It lists private healthcare and private clinics among the costs a GHIC or EHIC does not cover, and says “a GHIC or EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance.”
- The GHIC and EHIC do not help with the implant itself. GOV.UK: “Your EHIC or GHIC does not cover going abroad for elective surgery or any planned treatment.”
- Ordinary travel insurance usually excludes it. The NHS says: “Most travel insurance policies will not cover you for planned treatment abroad, so you may need specialist cover.” Its checklist also tells you to “tell your insurer about your plans to have treatment abroad”.
- The NHS will not refund it. The NHS treatment abroad checklist says: “You cannot get reimbursement for dental treatment.”
- The Foreign Office will not step into a dispute with the clinic. GOV.UK says: “Planned medical treatment is considered a commercial arrangement.”
What should you ask a clinic in Romania before booking?
Ask the questions the GDC lists for anyone going abroad for dental treatment, and get the answers in writing. From its patient guidance:
- “Who will be carrying out my treatment and what qualifications do they have?”
- “Are you regulated by a professional body and are you registered with them?”
- “Is the work guaranteed for a certain period of time?”
- “What aftercare do you provide?”
- “If there are complications and I need further treatment, is this included in the initial cost?”
- “What happens if I am unhappy with the results? Who pays for the extra flights, hotel and remedial work?”
- “Do you have a complaints system in place? Can I see a copy of it?”
TravelHealthPro adds that “a written contract from the clinic or hospital should be provided.” The NHS checklist says to think carefully before booking if there is “a hard sell”, “pressure to make a quick decision”, “no discussion of possible complications” or “no mention of aftercare”.
What happens with aftercare back in the UK?
Plan for problems to be fixed privately, either back in Romania or at a UK practice. The NHS says “implants are usually only available privately and are expensive”, and TravelHealthPro warns: “Follow-up care might not be easily available and may not be covered by the NHS.”
- Tell your own dentist before you go. The GDC says it is “always a good idea to speak to your own dentist before considering travelling abroad for your treatment”, because “they will also need to be aware of your plans in case of any later complications.”
- Bring your records home. TravelHealthPro: “Travellers should ensure they have copies of all overseas medical records, including x-rays and scans, before departure”.
- Budget for return trips. The NHS checklist asks you to make sure you have “factored in fluctuating exchange rates, the possibility of extending your stay if necessary and the cost of possible return trips.”
