What is a dental prosthetic?
A dental prosthetic fitted in Hungary, in Budapest, is an intraoral device used to restore 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 rehabilitate chewing, improve appearance and support clear speech.
A dental prosthetic fitted in Hungary can be held in place by attaching to teeth or dental implants, by suction, or simply held passively by the surrounding muscles.
Like other types of prosthetics, they can be either permanently fixed or removable. Fixed and removable prosthetics are made in many different variants.

Dental crowns
Crowns, sometimes called caps, are a type of dental restoration that fully covers or surrounds a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when extensive decay threatens the health of a tooth.
They are usually cemented onto the tooth using dental cement. Crowns can be made from a wide range of materials. They are often used to improve the strength or the 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 gap where teeth are missing and is anchored to the natural teeth or implants surrounding that space.
The natural teeth or implants supporting the bridge are called abutments. Depending on the type of bridge, the size of the natural abutment teeth may be reduced so the bridge can fit over them.
An impression is taken of the abutment tooth or implant and of the gap, to provide a mould for creating the bridge. Using this mould, the bridge is then made in a dental laboratory.
Dentures
These are prosthetics built to replace missing teeth, supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the mouth. Conventional dentures are removable (partial or complete). However, there are many denture designs, some of which are bonded or attached to teeth or dental implants.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a dental prosthetic cost in Hungary and in England?
In Hungary, a dental prosthetic costs from £300 to £750 per unit, compared to £600 to £1,500 per unit in England. A full denture costs £480 to £830 in Hungary and £800 to £1,800 in England. The quote sets out exactly what is included.
Are full dentures available on the NHS in England?
This depends on your specific situation, your dentist and local availability. Ask your own dentist what options and charging arrangements apply to you before deciding.
Is a prosthetic fitted in Hungary reimbursed in England?
Since Brexit, the UK no longer takes part in the EU’s cross-border healthcare coordination, so reimbursement no longer works the way it once did for care received in another EU country. Whether any of the cost is covered depends entirely on your own situation and any private dental plan you may hold, so check with your dentist or insurer beforehand.
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 one country. See the price of a bridge in Hungary.
Are implants needed to stabilise a lower denture?
Since the 2002 McGill consensus, an overdenture stabilised on two implants has been considered the first-choice treatment for the edentulous lower jaw, with higher patient satisfaction[5]. See the price of a dental implant in Hungary.
Does an implant-retained denture need maintenance?
Yes. According to a 2022 systematic review, wear of the attachments that clip the denture onto the implants is the leading cause of maintenance visits: they need reactivating or replacing, and plastic components wear out faster than metal ones[6].
Zirconia or metal-ceramic: which material for a fixed implant prosthetic?
A 2023 review found no difference in 3-year survival between metal-ceramic, zirconia and lithium disilicate, though layered prosthetics chip more often than monolithic ones[7]. See the price of an All-on-4 in Hungary.
