Dental implants again

    Hi there I urgently need a dental implant as a baby tooth which has held in there for a ridiculously long time finally fell out last week. I've had a quote from a Scandinavian dental clinic in Spain for €1,700 approx.
    I know it mightn't seem like a lot but it is to me and I'd have to pay for 2 return flights to Malaga on top of that. I've had work done at this clinic before (a bridge) and I was very happy with it.
    My main problem is that they originally quote me €1,000 for this job when I last visited the clinic 2 years ago. Have prices risen so much in the last 2 years? I think it's a fairly straightforward job. Would really appreciate some advice or recommendations. TIA

    A Scandinavian clinic in Spain!!?? I'm confused??

    €1700 is low/ average for a fully restored implant in Ireland, it's probably a very high price and very profitable by Spanish prices... €1000 is too low by anyone's prices, are you sure that this price was not for a bridge or just the implant surgery and not the crown??

    Thanks for your prompt reply.


    Yes I know, it's a bit strange but there's a big Scandinavian community on the Costa del Sol and this clinic is one I've attended over a number of years. Tbh, I'm happy to have the work done here. My father had a big job done with them a number of years ago (implants) and he was quite happy with the work.

    My only issue is the price. I was expecting to pay maybe in the region of €1,400 and I was wondering if I was being ripped off or if their quote was reasonable. That's it really

    Prices in Ireland will range from 1800 - 3500 euro, an average around 2400 or there about. Prices vary, and its all depends on whether you are happy to travel away from the dentist a few days after having a titanium screw inserted into your jawbones. There is a risk of infection etc so I would never recommend dental tourism unless you can spend extended amounts of time in the country where treatment happens.
