Add your flight and hotel
Add a return flight and 5 nights to see whether the trip still costs less than paying in the UK.
When not to travel
- Active gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking until a dentist has assessed you.
- Large treatment plans (a full arch, many teeth) without a second opinion: problems are harder to fix from abroad.
