Frequently Asked
Questions

Absolutely. Many of our patients describe themselves as 'dental phobics' when they first visit us. We offer a calm, unhurried environment, gentle techniques, and sedation options (oral sedation and IV sedation) for those who need extra support. We pride ourselves on never making patients feel rushed or judged.

Yes — all of our dentists speak fluent English, and our reception team communicates in English, German, French and Hungarian. We regularly treat patients from the UK, Germany, Austria, and beyond.

You can book via our online contact form, by calling us on +36 1 234 5678, or by emailing info@ivorydentalbudapest.com. We typically confirm appointments within 24 hours.

Please bring a valid ID, any dental X-rays taken in the past 12 months (if available), and a list of any medications you're currently taking. If you have dental insurance, bring your policy details.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration), while the porcelain crown on top typically lasts 15–20 years. We use Straumann implants, which carry a lifetime warranty on the fixture.

Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel removal (0.3–0.5mm) which is permanent. However, we also offer no-prep and minimal-prep veneers for suitable candidates, where little or no enamel is removed. We'll always discuss all options during your consultation.

Treatment time varies by case complexity. Simple cases can be completed in 6–8 months, while more complex full-arch alignment typically takes 12–24 months. During your consultation we'll use our iTero scanner to give you a projected treatment timeline.

Yes — our professional whitening uses clinically approved hydrogen peroxide concentrations (Philips Zoom). Some patients experience temporary sensitivity for 24–48 hours, which resolves on its own. We always perform a pre-whitening assessment to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment.

In many cases, yes. Our in-house ceramics lab allows us to mill zirconia and Emax crowns on-site, with many single-unit restorations completed within the same week. CEREC same-day crowns are also available for suitable cases.

Hungary has significantly lower operating costs (staff, premises, VAT) compared to the UK, Germany or Switzerland — but our materials, technology and training are identical. This allows us to offer treatments at 40–60% less than Western European prices with no compromise on quality.

We accept most major international dental insurance policies. We can provide itemised invoices for insurance reimbursement. Please contact your insurer before your visit to confirm coverage. We do not currently process claims directly with insurers.

Yes. We offer 0% interest payment plans for treatments over €500, spread across 6 to 24 months. Ask our reception team about financing options during your consultation.

Your initial consultation is complimentary. This includes a clinical examination, a discussion of your dental goals, and a treatment plan with transparent pricing. There are no hidden costs and no obligation to proceed.

We work with many international patients and have a smooth process for it. We start with a virtual consultation (video call + photos/X-rays sent in advance) to assess your case and give you a treatment quote. We then plan your visit around the minimum number of trips required — often 1–2 visits for most treatments.

Yes — we work with several partner hotels on Andrássy út and in the city centre, and can often arrange preferential rates for our patients. Just let us know when you book and we'll send you our partner list.

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and a full treatment report for your local dentist. We're also reachable by email and video call for post-treatment questions. For implants, we offer a complimentary check-up if you return to Budapest within 12 months.
