Every year, many Italians choose to entrust their dental care to the expert hands of dentists abroad. It's now well known that the most expensive dentists in Europe are British, followed by Italian ones. For this reason, recent top destinations include Hungary, Croatia, Albania, and Romania. Often, it's more than just a dental visit. Which countries offer the best service?

Obviously, the most attractive factor for Italians is proximity. Getting to these countries takes a maximum of three hours by plane, and in some cases, a couple of hours by car may suffice. Along with proximity, patients also consider the cost advantage. For example, in Albania, some clinics cost less than €5,500 for a fixed ceramic full denture; in Croatia, however, dental implants cost less than €700; to extract a tooth in Hungary, a private clinic will charge only €50; and in Romania, a zirconia ceramic crown costs less than €300. Dental practices also offer other services.

Most Italian clients are also satisfied with the quality of the service offered. In Croatia alone, more than 25,000 Italian citizens have received dental treatment in the last five years. Dental clinics, in collaboration with numerous travel agencies, organize authentic "dental tourism holidays." Croatia's clean beaches, Hungary's historic sites, Romania's spas, and Albania's evening entertainment are just some of the many options available. Furthermore, these dental packages include numerous free services: ongoing assistance in Italian, transportation, accommodations, and guided tours. But be careful!

However, experts urge Italian clients to be cautious about certain points. According to some Italian doctors, during these dental trips, the need to treat patients quickly and keep costs low has, over the years, led to serious dental health problems. Criticism of the service offered abroad also comes from clients: small dental practices seeking to profit from the dental tourism phenomenon with little experience, training, and organization. Furthermore, Italian testimonials confirm that these clinics employ a large number of underpaid dentists, who run the risk of becoming a byproduct and receiving inadequate treatment. Despite this, the low costs and numerous other free services still make these countries attractive for "dental vacations," offering the opportunity to combine business with pleasure.
