Coming to Bucharest for treatment is simpler than most people expect. Before you book anything, you have a written treatment plan and a fixed quote, with the material for every unit named — zirconia, IPS e.max or titanium. The clinic tells you exactly which dates you need to be here. Flights and hotel are yours to book, which keeps every cost in your hands. This page covers the practical side: getting here, getting around, and what to do with your free afternoons.
How it works
From first photo to final check-up
01
Send photos
Photographs of your teeth and any recent X-rays, through the form or WhatsApp. No cost, no obligation.
02
Get a written plan
A treatment plan and fixed quote within two working days, itemised so you can compare it against a quote at home.
03
Treatment in Bucharest
We work backwards from your dates and tell you how many days you need. Examination and X-rays on arrival confirm the plan, and any change is repriced for your approval before we start.
04
Aftercare at home
You leave with your records and warranty. Follow-up by video call, and a named contact if anything needs attention.
No travel packages, on purpose
Many clinics abroad sell travel packages: flights, hotel, airport pickup, all bundled into one price. We don’t, and that’s deliberate. A package looks convenient, but you can’t see what each part costs — and the mark-up sits somewhere inside it. When you book your own flights and hotel, every pound is visible and every choice is yours.
It’s also easy. Bucharest’s Otopeni airport has frequent direct flights from London and several other UK cities, and fares are often low if you book a few weeks ahead. Hotels here are good value by UK standards, from simple three-star rooms to full five-star hotels, and you pick the standard you want. Once your treatment plan is agreed, we confirm the exact dates you need to be in Bucharest and recommend areas to stay. The rest is a normal city-break booking.
The result is that your fixed quote covers dentistry, and only dentistry. Nothing is folded into it for transfers you didn’t ask for or a hotel you didn’t choose. And if your plans change, you deal directly with the airline or hotel on their terms — not through a middleman.
Flying in
Bucharest Otopeni (Henri Coandă) is the city’s main airport, roughly 30–40 minutes from the centre by car depending on traffic. Direct flights run frequently from London and several other UK cities, and fares are often low if you book ahead.
Getting around
Uber and Bolt both operate in Bucharest and are cheap — most rides across the centre cost a few pounds. The metro is quick too, and you can pay at the gate with a contactless bank card.
Where to stay
The Old Town and Universitate areas put you among the restaurants and sights; staying near the clinic works just as well. Anywhere within 10–15 minutes by car is fine, and we’ll suggest specific areas once your dates are confirmed.
Money
Romania uses the leu (RON), not the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including taxis and small cafés, so you need little or no cash — if you want some, use a bank ATM in town rather than the airport exchange desks.
Timing
Appointments usually sit in the morning or early afternoon, and some days are kept clear for the laboratory work between stages. Your plan sets out the schedule before you fly, so you’ll know which afternoons and days are yours.

Before you decide
The questions worth asking
Ask any clinic abroad these five. If the answers are vague, keep looking.
How do I know the quote will not change once I arrive?
The written quote is based on your photographs and X-rays. On arrival we examine you and take our own imaging. If that reveals something the photographs could not show, we reprice before starting and you decide whether to go ahead — you are never billed for work you did not approve.
How many trips will I need to make?
Most implant cases need two: one to place the implants, one to fit the final crowns three to six months later. Crowns, veneers and whitening are usually a single trip of three to five days. Your plan states the number before you book anything.
What happens if something goes wrong after I fly home?
You leave with your clinical records, the materials used, and a written warranty. Follow-up is by video call, and remedial work covered by the warranty is done at our cost. Ask us for the warranty terms in writing before you commit.
Are the materials the same as at home?
We use the same implant systems and ceramics available in Western Europe. Your plan names the manufacturer and product for every component, so you can compare like with like against a quote from home.
Do you help with travel and accommodation?
We tell you which dates you need to be in Bucharest and how long each appointment runs, and can recommend hotels near the clinic. You book your own flights and rooms — that way you keep control of the cost and are not paying a markup.
