Planning the trip from Ireland
- Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for a veneer and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
- Before you goSend recent X-rays and photos, and get a written plan with the number of teeth, the material and the total price.
- Before you goRead the official travel advice for the country. The UK Foreign Office says dental procedures are among the most common treatments for medical tourists in Turkey.
- Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).

No, not on these example figures: the lowest self-pay price we found at home is €600, about €1,050 less than the cheapest trip. It can make sense if you are already travelling to United Arab Emirates.
How long is the wait for a veneer in Ireland?
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in Ireland.
How many days do I need in United Arab Emirates?
About a week at many clinics: preparing the teeth and fitting temporaries, a few days while the lab makes the veneers, then fitting and a bite check. Ask for the clinic’s schedule. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will the HSE pay for it?
No. HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland; United Arab Emirates is outside them.
