An implant is a small screw-shaped root, usually titanium, placed into the jawbone where your own root used to be. Bone grows onto it and grips it, much as it would heal around a break. That grip is what makes an implant last.
Once it has healed, an abutment goes on top and a crown is made in our own laboratory. Three parts, one tooth.
Whether an implant suits you depends on the bone and gum around the gap. We settle that once we have seen the scan, not before.
Our clinic in Buda holds every piece of kit a case may need, from the first scan through to the laboratory that makes your crown.
For someone flying in, that matters more than it does for a local. Nothing goes out to a third party. The surgeon, the prosthodontist and the technician all work in the same building.
Most people considering treatment abroad have never seen the building they would be walking into. Here is ours.
Honestly, the timeline varies: a new tooth can be ready within hours in the best case, or take the better part of a year in the most involved one. Step through the sequence.
X-rays and a CBCT scan, an impression or a digital scan, and a full look at your mouth. Only then is the plan drawn up. Where it helps, we plan the implant position in 3D first, using the Camlog system we run here.
Not part of every case. Where they are needed they add healing time: up to three months after an extraction, though sometimes an implant can go straight in. After grafting, six to nine months.
Under local anaesthetic, or a general if you prefer. The gum is opened, the site is prepared with a graded set of drills, and the implant is threaded in. The gum is then stitched closed.
Stitches come out about a week later, and an X-ray checks the implant is sitting right.
Bone grows onto the implant over three to four months, longer if you had a graft. It may heal under the gum, or with a former fitted to stop the gum closing over it.
Where it healed under the gum, we uncover it through a small cut and fit a shaping screw so the crown later sits neatly against the gum.
The abutment goes on and the crown is made in our own laboratory. You try it in, we adjust it until it feels right, then it is fixed for good.
We show you how to clean around it. After that it needs the same check-ups as your own teeth.
A single implant is not one price, it is a stack of parts. Clinics that quote one headline number are usually leaving something out of it.
Prices are indicative. The exact price of your treatment is worked out at your first consultation, once we have seen the X-rays. GBP figures are converted for guidance at about 427 HUF to the pound.
Send an X-ray, or three photos on your phone. A dentist will look at it and write back with a provisional plan and an indicative price — before you commit to anything, and before you book a flight.

“I was nervous about visiting an unfamiliar clinic, but I had a great experience. The clinic was clean, modern and stylish, and my doctor did an amazing job.”
“Arrival, airport pickup and appointment scheduling went very smoothly. Dr Ecsegi was highly competent, and I felt well cared for during my treatment.”
“I had been an extremely anxious patient for many years and carefully researched clinics before choosing CosmoDent. I’m incredibly happy with my experience.”
“The perfect dental clinic! Several dentists told me they couldn’t replace my two front teeth with implants following an accident—but CosmoDent helped me.”
“This was by far the best dental experience of my life. I travelled to Budapest after weeks of pain and difficult experiences with several dental clinics in Paris.”

Anywhere from a few hours to about a year. It depends on your teeth and gums, whether you need a graft, whether a tooth has to come out first, which tooth it is, and the implant used. The bone healing alone takes three to four months.
The implant goes in under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel the surgery. If the thought worries you, we can treat you under sedation or a general instead.
Usually titanium, which bone grows onto directly. We place Camlog and Straumann. If you would rather have no metal, we also offer ceramic implants with zirconia crowns.
A bridge is carried by the teeth either side of the gap, which means cutting down two healthy teeth. An implant stands on its own. We will tell you honestly if a bridge suits you better.
Only if there is not enough bone to hold the implant. It is not routine. The scan shows this clearly, and if it is needed, expect six to nine months of healing first.
trips, nights per trip, and how the stitch check is handled once you are home.
aftercare, who to call, and what is handed to your own dentist.
Upload a panoramic X-ray if you have one. If not, three clear phone photos are enough to start. A dentist reviews what you send and you receive a written provisional plan with an indicative price.
No obligation, no deposit, and no need to travel to find out whether an implant is even the right answer.
