What’s the Price of an All-on-6 in Hungary?
The price of an All-on-6 in Hungary is £4,700 to £7,300 per arch, compared to roughly £13,000 to £22,000 in the UK. This price includes the 6 implants, the fixed prosthesis, anaesthesia and transfers. The treatment requires two trips to Budapest for a final result at 6 months. A full mouth costs £10,000 to £14,500.

📈 Statistics and Success Rates
In published clinical studies, a full prosthesis fixed on four to six implants is still in place in 97.5% of cases at 5 years and 95% at 10 years in the upper jaw, and in 95.9% of cases at 10 years in the lower jaw[1]. These figures are not specific to Hungary.
Peri-implantitis, an inflammation around the implant, affects 19.53% of patients with implants[2]. Full osseointegration takes 3 to 6 months in a dental clinic in Hungary to ensure the treatment’s stability.
What is an All-on-6?
The All-on-6 is a dental restoration solution that fixes a full prosthesis onto 6 titanium implants. This technique spreads chewing pressure across six points of support, compared to four for the All-on-4.
The implants are positioned strategically within the jawbone. Angling the rear implants (often between 30 and 45 degrees) makes use of the available bone volume, often avoiding the need for a sinus lift or a complex and costly bone graft.
How Does the All-on-6 Work?
The clinical protocol is divided into precise stages to ensure the durability of any dental implant in Hungary:
1. Radiological Assessment and 3D Planning
The dental surgeon carries out a 3D scan (CBCT) to assess bone density. Digital impressions are taken to design the surgical guide and the future custom prosthesis.
2. Preparation and Anaesthesia
The procedure takes place under enhanced local anaesthesia or intravenous sedation. The area is disinfected, and any remaining tooth roots are extracted during the same session.
3. Surgery and Loading
The 6 implants are placed into the bone. In Hungary, the “immediate loading” technique often allows a fixed temporary prosthesis to be fitted within 24 to 48 hours, letting patients regain aesthetic function during the healing phase (3 to 6 months).
Alternatives to the All-on-6
If the All-on-6 isn’t suited to your case, other solutions are available in Budapest:
- All-on-4: For jaws with lower bone density.
- All-on-8: Spreads the load across eight implants, for wider arches.
- Traditional implants: For tooth-by-tooth replacement (requires substantial bone volume).
- Removable denture: The least costly option but the least stable long-term.
Focus: All-on-4 vs All-on-6
The All-on-4 is often recommended in cases of severe bone loss near the sinuses or mandibular nerves, as it avoids areas of low density. The All-on-6 remains preferred for better distribution of chewing forces when bone volume allows it.
Organising Your Medical Trip to Budapest
The surgery takes around 2 to 3 hours per arch. Most Hungarian clinics offer English-speaking coordinators and arrange your transfers from Budapest Airport (BUD).
After the procedure, mild swelling for 3 to 5 days is normal. Standard painkillers are enough to manage the discomfort. The second appointment, scheduled 4 to 6 months later, is for fitting the final prosthesis, with teeth made of zirconia or ceramic, much like a dental crown in Hungary.
Global Price Comparison for All-On-6
Hungary sits between Turkey and Western Europe on price, while still applying EU standards of care.
| Country | Average Price (1 arch) |
|---|---|
| Turkey | £3,900 |
| Hungary | £5,600 |
| Spain / Portugal | £7,300 |
| UK / Ireland | £16,500 |

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an All-on-6 cost in the UK?
In the UK, an All-on-6 costs from £13,000 to £22,000 per arch depending on the practitioner, the implant brand and the prosthesis material, compared to £4,700 to £7,300 per arch in Hungary. A detailed quote lets you compare both options on a like-for-like basis.
What’s the price of an All-on-6 on both jaws in Hungary?
For a full mouth, meaning both jaws, an All-on-6 costs £10,000 to £14,500 in Hungary, compared to £24,000 to £40,000 in the UK. A bone graft, if needed, is added to the quote: £150 to £1,000 depending on the procedure.
Is an All-on-6 done in Hungary covered by the NHS?
Dental implants are generally not funded by the NHS, whether carried out in the UK or abroad, and there’s no automatic cross-border reimbursement scheme for treatment received in Hungary. Coverage depends on your own situation, so check with the NHS or your private dental insurer before booking.
How do you clean an All-on-6 day to day?
The fixed prosthesis is brushed like natural teeth, with the addition of interdental brushes or a water flosser to reach under the bridge, where plaque tends to build up. Regular dentist check-ups help monitor the gum around each implant.
Is there an All-on-6 without a false gum?
Yes, when the bone and gum have receded only slightly, the prosthesis teeth emerge directly from the gum. After significant bone loss, an artificial gum in resin or ceramic makes up for the missing volume. The 3D scan helps decide which approach suits you.
Can you get an All-on-6 if you smoke?
Yes, but smoking increases the risk of failure: one meta-analysis puts it at around 2.4 times that of a non-smoker, across dental implants generally[4]. Surgeons usually recommend stopping smoking before and after placement.
What should you check in an All-on-6 quote from Budapest?
The quote should name the brand and number of implants, state whether the temporary and final prostheses are included, specify their material and the cost of any bone graft, and confirm who provides follow-up care once you’re back home.
