Travel Abroad for Dental Treatment: Dental Tourism in Ukraine

A large number of people go overseas for dental procedures annually. And the cost is one of the major reasons for this. Another reason why patients travel abroad for treatment is the hunt for better healthcare services.

Dental clinics in Ukraine will definitely surprise you with their outstanding quality, cutting edge technology, state-of-the-art equipment and world-class facilities, at the same time providing first-rate cosmetic, restorative and general dental care at reasonable prices. Therefore, dental tourism in Ukraine offers huge benefits for global patients seeking high-quality, low-cost medical care abroad.

In Ukraine, you can acquire the same dental services and standard of care that you would be delivered in the US and European countries. The most common procedures which dental tourists prefer to have in Ukraine include cheap dental implants, crowns, root canal treatment and veneers. Implant dentistry is one of the fastest-growing fields of dental practice because more and more patients see the advantages of getting dental implants abroad at low prices.

Ukraine’s reputation as a dental tourism destination is built on the following:

Low cost. You can save up to 50-80%, because the cost of living in Ukraine is relatively low compared with that in the US and most European countries. As a result, dental work is much cheaper.

Highly qualified professionals.  The qualifications of Ukrainian dental professionals can be compared to any other doctor practicing in the USA or Europe. Many of them speak good English. The doctors are very experienced and trained in the best Ukrainian universities or abroad, in addition.

Superb medical care. Combining the very latest hi-tech equipment and professional expertise, Ukrainian clinics offer a holistic medical offer, enabling the patients to experience the highest level of medical care. 

Good location. Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, is located just a few hours flight away from most European big cities. Lviv is also easy to reach, because lots of budget airlines fly to these cities. Thus, Ukraine is a perfect destination for cheap dental services for British citizens and other Europeans as travel is quick and convenient. Both cities offer an abundance of accommodation options to satisfy every taste and budget. 3-star hotel rooms, for instance, in Kyiv start from less than $20 per night. Americans, Canadians and Australians also have the potential to save thousands of dollars on dental services in Ukraine and to enjoy a two-week break in Europe. Surely, airline flights won’t be very cheap, but you will absolutely win due to the opportunity of getting procedures much cheaper than at home. 

The general cost of dental treatment in Ukraine is significantly lower of what you might expect to pay in the USA and most European countries. Patients can usually save up to 50-80% by visiting a dentist in Ukraine for dental implants and other work.
