Cost of Dental Implants in Ireland 2026: Prices Compared With Hungary
The cost of dental implants in Ireland varies by clinic and by what is included in the treatment. A completed replacement tooth normally needs an implant, an abutment and a crown. At Perfect Smile Dental Implant Center Hungary, these three listed components total €1,190 in 2026, before any additional procedures or travel expenses.
For Irish patients, the real question is what the complete treatment will cost, including the number of visits, any additional dental work and follow-up care. Hungarian Dentists Wexford offers free consultations and panoramic X-rays, so patients can understand their options before deciding whether to travel.

How Much Does a Dental Implant Cost in Ireland in 2026?
Published starting prices at selected Irish dental clinics range from approximately €1,600 to over €3,000 for an implant and crown, depending on the clinic and what is included. These are examples of advertised prices, not a national average or a quotation for your case.
Some advertised prices cover implant placement only. Others include the abutment and final crown. Additional work, such as bone grafting, may increase the total, so it is important to compare like with like.
Examples of advertised prices include SmileMore Implant Centre (from €1,600), Ashbourne Dental & Medical (from €1,740 for listed components), and Docklands Dental (€3,000–€3,500). Prices and inclusions may change; check the clinics’ current fee lists before relying on these examples.
What Is Included in a Complete Dental Implant?
A single implant-supported tooth normally has three main parts. Each plays a different role in replacing a missing tooth.
Implant fixture
A fixture placed in the jawbone to support the restoration.
Abutment
The connecting component between the implant and crown.
Final crown
The visible replacement tooth, designed for appearance and function.
| Perfect Smile component | 2026 listed fee |
|---|---|
| Premium dental implant fixture | €795 |
| Implant abutment | €130 |
| Standard screw-retained crown | €265 |
| Three-component example | €1,190 |
This example is for one implant-supported crown. Bridges, multiple implants and full-arch restorations are planned and priced differently.
How Do Dental Implant Costs in Ireland and Hungary Compare?
Perfect Smile’s €1,190 figure covers the three listed dental components, whereas a comparison with an Irish quote should include the complete proposed treatment. Hungary may offer a significant difference in dental fees, particularly when several teeth require treatment, but travel expenses must also be considered.
| Comparison | What it means |
|---|---|
| Irish private clinic | Selected published Irish clinic prices from €1,600 to over €3,000; these are not a national average for a completed single implant; individual quotes vary |
| Perfect Smile Hungary | €1,190 for implant, abutment and standard screw-retained crown |
| Additional procedures | May be required in either country; depends on clinical assessment |
| Travel to Hungary | Usually two visits for standard implant treatment; flights, accommodation and meals are extra |
| Local support | Consultations, appropriate extractions and aftercare through Hungarian Dentists Wexford |
Our Ireland versus Hungary dental implant price comparison explains the wider cost considerations.
What Additional Treatments Can Increase Implant Costs?
Some patients need further procedures before or during implant placement. The visiting dentist and Perfect Smile surgical team assess these needs before confirming a treatment plan.
| Possible additional treatment | Listed fee |
|---|---|
| Dental CT scan | €145 |
| Standard extraction | €65 |
| Bone graft per tooth or implant | €200 |
| Sinus lift | €800 |
These are individual listed fees, not charges that apply automatically to every patient. Surgical extraction and more complex bone procedures require confirmation in the current clinic price list and individual plan.

Why Does Dental Implant Treatment Usually Involve Two Trips to Hungary?
Standard implant treatment usually involves two trips because the implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is fitted. The healing period is often around four months, but individual schedules can differ.
- First visit: Implant placement and any associated procedures in the agreed treatment plan. A temporary restoration may be provided where appropriate.
- Healing: The implant integrates with the jawbone over the period advised by the treating dentist.
- Second visit: The abutment and final crown or other restoration are fitted when the dentist confirms that healing is satisfactory.
Patients book and pay for their own flights. Angelika arranges accommodation and dedicated taxi transfers in Hungary, including collection from Budapest Airport.
What Is the Total Cost of One Implant in Hungary Including Travel?
For one tooth, the travel costs can reduce or even remove the saving compared with an Irish quotation. A practical budget needs to account for both visits, rather than just the €1,190 dental component total.
Illustrative two-trip budget
If return flights are €250 per visit, accommodation is €40–€60 per night for seven nights per visit, and evening meals average €20 per day, each trip would cost approximately €670–€810.
Two trips would therefore cost approximately €1,340–€1,620.
Added to the €1,190 implant, abutment and crown example, the illustrative total becomes €2,530–€2,810, before breakfasts, lunches, other personal spending or additional dental procedures.
These figures are budgeting examples, not current flight quotes or guaranteed stay lengths. Some visits may be shorter or longer; confirm the clinical schedule before booking travel.
Is Travelling to Hungary Worth It for Just One Dental Implant?
Not always on cost alone. Once two trips are included, the overall cost for a single implant can overlap with Irish treatment fees. The decision may also depend on the dentist’s assessment, the proposed implant system, travel preferences and access to follow-up care.
For patients needing several implants, crowns or bridges, the financial difference can be greater because more treatment may be completed across the same planned visits. This is not guaranteed: the number of visits and treatment stages depend on the individual case.
For larger restorations, see our full-mouth dental implant cost guide and All-on-4 cost guide.
Which Implant Brands Does Perfect Smile Use?
Perfect Smile offers established implant systems including Nobel, Straumann and BioHorizons. The appropriate system depends on clinical factors, not simply the lowest advertised fee.
Patients can ask which system is recommended, why it suits their case and what records will be supplied after treatment. Our guide to dental implant brands provides further background.
Why Can a Second Opinion Change a Dental Treatment Plan?
Sometimes the most valuable outcome of a consultation is finding that a different treatment may be appropriate.
My wife Julie was previously advised that implants would form part of her dental treatment. After a second opinion with the Perfect Smile team, she was advised that implants were not necessary in her particular case and that her existing healthy teeth could be restored with crowns.
Her experience is personal and does not predict what another patient will need. It does show why an individual clinical assessment should come before deciding on treatment based on price alone.
What Happens at a Free Dental Consultation in Wexford?
Hungarian Dentists Wexford offers a free dental consultation and panoramic X-ray when the visiting Perfect Smile dental team attends, generally about every four weeks. There is no obligation to proceed with treatment in Hungary.
- The visiting dentist examines your dental concerns and reviews the panoramic X-ray.
- Our surgeon at Perfect Smile Hungary reviews the consultation findings and works with Angelika on the proposed treatment plan.
- Angelika normally emails the personalised treatment plan the following week, including the recommended work and costs.
- Fintan follows up locally and can direct treatment questions to Angelika.
- If you choose to proceed, Angelika coordinates available treatment dates, accommodation and transfers in Hungary.
The plan should explain any extraction or healing requirements before travel, the expected treatment stages and whether more than one visit is necessary.
Can Extractions and Dental Aftercare Be Carried Out in Wexford?
Yes. Appropriate extractions and aftercare can be provided in Wexford. Dental implant placement, crowns, bridges and other restorative treatment take place at Perfect Smile Dental Implant Center in Hungary.
Where an extraction may affect a future implant site, the Perfect Smile dentist should review the case and advise on timing before it is carried out. Patients should not independently arrange an extraction that could alter the proposed treatment plan.
After treatment in Hungary, Fintan remains a local point of contact. The visiting dental team can arrange suitable reviews and aftercare according to clinical needs.
What About Dental Anxiety and Travelling Abroad?
Concerns about dental treatment, unfamiliar travel and what happens after returning home are understandable. A Wexford consultation provides an opportunity to discuss the proposed procedure, pain management, treatment timing and aftercare before committing to travel.
Implant placement is normally performed with local anaesthetic. Patients who are particularly anxious should raise this with the visiting dentist so appropriate options can be discussed. Sedation availability and suitability should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
Angelika arranges accommodation and dedicated taxi transfers in Hungary, while patients arrange their own flights. The clinic is in Hódmezővásárhely, reached from Budapest Airport.

The listed implant fixture (€795), abutment (€130) and standard screw-retained crown (€265) total €1,190. This excludes any extra procedures and travel.
Does an advertised implant price always include the crown?
No. Some advertised prices refer to the implant fixture or placement alone. Ask what is included before comparing complete treatment costs.
How many trips to Hungary are needed for dental implants?
Standard implant treatment commonly requires two visits, with a healing interval often around four months. Your individual plan may differ.

What Is the Best Next Step if You Are Comparing Dental Implant Prices?
Start by understanding the complete treatment you need, rather than comparing isolated implant prices. The €1,190 Perfect Smile example is a useful reference, but your personalised plan determines the dental fee and the number of visits required.
A free Wexford consultation can help clarify your options, answer questions about travelling to Hungary and explain the local aftercare available once you return.
