Dental treatment when travelling from Austria

Many of our patients travel from Austria – whether they are Austrian, German, or from elsewhere and living in or around Vienna. For most of them, the main question isn't the distance. It is: how does treatment work, and how often will I need to come?

Here we explain, step by step, how we plan treatment for patients who travel to see us.

Where is the practice?

Our practice is at Honvéd utca 5 in Mosonmagyaróvár, a small town in north-west Hungary. From central Vienna it is about an hour by car (approx. 80 km), via the A4 motorway and the Nickelsdorf/Hegyeshalom border crossing. From the border crossing it is roughly 15 minutes.

The practice is in an old house with a pink-terracotta front and a flower-filled courtyard. Patients have been treated here on Honvéd utca for many years, with implantology, oral surgery and prosthetic dentistry under one roof.

Step 1: Send your images in advance

You don't have to arrive without a plan. Using our appointment form, you can upload any recent X-rays – a panoramic X-ray or a 3D scan from your own dentist, for example – and a few photos of your teeth. Tell us briefly what is troubling you and what you would like.

We look through what you send and get back to you with an initial view: which treatments might be possible and what further examination will be needed.

Please bear in mind that an X-ray tells us a great deal, but it can't replace an examination. We need to see your gums, bite and the soft tissues in person. That is why a final treatment plan is always drawn up after your first visit.

Step 2: Examination and consultation

At your first visit we examine your mouth thoroughly. If planning requires it – for implants, for example – we take a 3D scan on site, so you don't need to go anywhere else.

We then talk through your options: what might work well in your case, the pros and cons, how many visits will be needed and how much time there will be between them. Please bring a list of your medication and any important medical reports.

Step 3: A written treatment plan

After the examination you receive a written, itemised treatment plan. It lists each planned step, the number of visits and the individual items. We deliberately don't publish a general price list, because every plan is individual.

You can take the plan home and consider it at your own pace, or discuss it with your family or your own dentist. If you want to know whether your health insurer will contribute, it is best to ask them directly – the written plan gives you a good basis for that conversation. There is no need to decide on the day.

Step 4: Treatment planned around fewer trips

We know every journey takes time. So, wherever it is medically possible, we organise treatment so you need to travel less often. We combine steps where we can and agree appointment dates well ahead.

Some things can't be rushed, though. After an implant is placed, the bone generally needs a few months to heal. You spend this time at home, with a temporary replacement if needed. We tell you in advance when and how often you will need to return, and this is set out in your treatment plan.

For larger work, such as a fixed full arch on All-on-4 or All-on-6, careful planning is especially important. Dr Olivér Muskát (implantology, oral surgery) and Dr Babett Kenyeres (prosthetic and aesthetic dentistry) plan the surgical and prosthetic stages together.

After treatment

We are still here for you once you are home. If you have questions or any discomfort, call or email us and we will talk through what to do.

Regular check-ups matter for all dental work, especially implants. You can have them with us or, by arrangement, with your dentist at home. Careful cleaning at home also goes a long way towards helping your new teeth last.

Your first step

If you are thinking of having treatment with us, send us your enquiry – with an X-ray or photos if you have them. We will get back to you and arrange a consultation in Mosonmagyaróvár.
