Can the HSE pay?
From Ireland (HSE): Poland is one of the EU countries listed for the Cross Border Directive scheme. You pay the provider yourself and then claim back the smaller of what you paid and what the same care would cost in the Irish public system; travel and hotels are not covered, and you need a referral from a GP or a consultant you saw as a public patient. HSE: Cross Border Directive, how much you can claim.

No, not on these example figures: the lowest self-pay price we found at home is €1,540, about €903 less than the cheapest trip. It can make sense if you are already travelling to Poland.
How long is the wait for a dental implant in Ireland?
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in Ireland.
How many days do I need in Poland?
Usually two trips: one to place the implant, then a second visit some months later for the crown. Some clinics offer a faster protocol. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will the HSE pay for it?
Possibly in part: the Cross Border Directive scheme refunds up to what the same care costs in the Irish public system, after you have paid and with a referral.
