What is a dental prosthetic?
A dental prosthetic in Budapest, Hungary is an intraoral prosthesis used to restore intraoral defects such as missing teeth, missing parts of teeth, and missing soft or hard structures of the jaw and palate. These prosthetics are used to restore chewing, improve aesthetics and facilitate speech.
A dental prosthetic in Hungary can be held in place by connecting to teeth or dental implants, by suction, or by being passively held by surrounding muscles.
Like other types of prosthetics, they can be permanently fixed or removable. Fixed and removable prosthetics are made in many variations.

Dental crowns
Crowns, sometimes called dental caps, are a type of dental restoration that completely covers or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth.
They are usually cemented to the tooth using dental cement. Crowns can be made from many materials. Crowns are often used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth.
Dental bridges
A bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by permanently joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth or dental implants. A bridge spans the area where teeth are missing. It is fixed to the natural teeth or implants surrounding that space.
The natural teeth or implants that support the bridge are called abutments. Depending on the type of bridge, the size of the natural abutment teeth may be reduced to allow the bridge to fit over them.
An impression will be taken of the abutment tooth or implant and the space to provide a mould for the bridge. Using this mould, the bridge is then made in a dental laboratory.
Dental prosthetics
These are prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth; they are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional prosthetics are removable (removable partial prosthetic or complete prosthetic). However, there are many designs of prosthetics, some of which are bonded or fixed to teeth or dental implants.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How much does a dental prosthetic cost in Hungary compared to the UK?
In Hungary, a dental prosthetic costs from £300 to £730 per unit, compared to £550 to £2,750 per unit in the UK. A complete denture costs £480 to £820 in Hungary and £1,050 to £2,100 in the UK. The quote details what is included.
Is a complete denture covered 100% in the UK?
Coverage for dentures on the NHS depends on your circumstances: some people are entitled to free NHS dental treatment, while others pay a banded charge. Private treatment costs vary. For information about your situation, contact the NHS or your dental practice.
Is a prosthetic placed in Hungary reimbursed by the NHS?
The UK has left the European Union, so EU cross-border healthcare rules no longer apply. NHS reimbursement for treatment abroad is very limited. Contact the NHS or your private insurer to check what your coverage includes.
How long does a bridge on natural teeth last?
In a 2007 meta-analysis, 93.8% of conventional bridges on natural teeth were still in place at 5 years and 89.2% at 10 years[4]. These figures are not specific to any country. See the cost of a bridge in Hungary.
Are implants needed to stabilise a lower denture?
Since the McGill consensus of 2002, a denture stabilised on two implants is considered the first-choice treatment for the edentulous lower jaw, with higher satisfaction[5]. See the cost of a dental implant in Hungary.
Does an implant-supported denture require maintenance?
Yes. According to a 2022 systematic review, wear of the attachments that clip the denture to the implants is the main cause of maintenance: they are reactivated or replaced, and plastic parts wear faster than metal ones[6].
Zirconia or metal-ceramic: which material for a fixed implant prosthesis?
A 2023 review found no difference in 3-year survival between metal-ceramic, zirconia and lithium disilicate, but layered prosthetics chip more than monolithic ones[7]. See the cost of All-on-4 in Hungary.
