Dental Tourism in Prague, step by step
Fifteen thousand patients fly to Prague every year for dental work. The reason: implants, crowns and full-mouth restorations at 30 to 40 percent of UK or German prices, done at EU-standard clinics that publish their prices. If you are considering it, here is exactly what happens.

1. Send X-rays and a photo for a quote
Get a recent panoramic X-ray (OPG) from your local dentist. Email it to two or three Prague clinics with a photo of the tooth or area you want treated and a short note on what you want done. Expect a written treatment plan with itemised prices within 48 hours. Reputable clinics do this for free.
2. Compare two clinics, not five
Once you have quotes, compare on materials (which implant brand, which crown lab), on who handles follow-up, and on whether the price is all-inclusive. Reviews on Google are useful but not enough on their own. Look at how the clinic communicates by email. If they take a week to reply, they will take a week when you have a problem.
3. Book the visit and flights
Most complex treatment splits into two visits, three to five days each, spaced two to four months apart. Simpler work (crowns, whitening, hygiene) fits into one visit of two to three working days. Flights from London are one hundred to two hundred pounds return, from Berlin fifty to one hundred euros. Hotels in central Prague run sixty to one hundred and twenty euros a night. Some clinics have partner hotels with discounts.
4. Arrive and treat
Day one is consultation, X-rays and finalising the plan. From day two, treatment begins. Most Prague clinics speak fluent English, some also German, Russian or Hebrew. Bring your medical history, current medication list and any allergies in writing.
5. Follow up when you get home
For implants, healing takes three to six months before the crown goes on. During that period you have check-ups with your local dentist, and the Prague clinic supplies X-rays and documentation for continuity of care. Complications are rare, but if something happens, most Prague clinics guarantee free adjustment on their work for two to five years and will fly you back at their expense if needed for genuine warranty cases. Ask about their guarantee policy before you commit.
The math
A single implant plus crown in London runs three to four thousand pounds. In Prague the same procedure with the same brand runs eight hundred and fifty to fifteen hundred pounds. Add two hundred pounds for flights, four hundred for four nights of hotel, one hundred for airport transfers and meals, and you still save one and a half to two thousand pounds and get a short break in one of Europe's best-preserved capital cities. For four implants and full-arch work, savings run into five figures.
