So, if you have ever considered visiting a dentist abroad, read on to discover the benefits of Croatian hospitality and healthcare and why Zagreb should be your number one dental tourism destination.
1) PRICE
The cost of dental procedures abroad varies depending on the country in question. The price of dental implants in the UK, for example, ranges from £1,500 to £3,000, which is roughly €1,700 to €3,500. The prices for dental implants in Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, are much lower, however, ranging from €500 to €900, half the price of a similar procedure carried out in the UK. If you want to get a full zirconia crown, for example, in Zagreb, you would pay between €300 and €400, while, in the UK, the same procedure would cost you anywhere from €800 to €1,000.
2) QUALITY
Many medical tourists worry that the low price of dental procedures in Croatia may be accompanied by low quality, which is not at all true. These concerns perhaps stem from some people’s experiences with Hungary, another low-cost European medical tourism destination, where, as some medical tourists have noted, the quality of dental treatment did not live up to expectations. Hungary has struggled ever since to regain its former reputation as a dental tourism destination. This was an important lesson that Croatia took onboard from its neighbor, meaning Croatia has long surpassed its neighbors in both the quality of its dental treatment and the overall satisfaction of its patients. The quality of dental treatment in Croatia is world-class, world renowned and market-leading, which is why the capital city, Zagreb, is a favorite destination for dental tourists.
3) ACCOMMODATION
Many dental procedures require a couple of days, so why not use your time between treatments to look around and explore the beautiful city of Zagreb and its culture? In order to attract tourists, and also to make the overall experience as pleasant as possible, the majority of clinics also offer transfer from and to the airport, as well as accommodation. If you are interested in getting your dental implants or dental crown procedure carried out abroad, consider Croatia as your number one destination.
