Hungary is the center for dental tourism in Europe. German and Swiss patients travel there by the bus load for inexpensive, high quality dental care. Patients from the US and Canada are also beginning to to discover this dental mecca. Hungary has more dentists per capita than any other country, and post cold war Hungarian dentists pride themselves on their state-of-the-art equipment. It was when Hungary jouned the European Union in 2004 that travel and communications grew easier. During that time Hungary has worked hard to reach accreditation and care standards that rival Europe.
The capital of Hungary, Budapest, has the country’s largest number of dental clinics. Budapest’s clinics also tend to be the most expensive in Hungary. Other, smaller cities can offer the dental tourist lower prices than Budapest and also harbor many dentists. Mosonmagyarovar, a town of 30,000 is home to an incredible 160 dental offices.
If you are planning a dental vacation to Hungary you will be amazed with its history and culture. Be aware though that infrastructure can be spotty so you may be wise to hire a health travel planner, use a travel service or use a travel companion.
