Dental Tourism in Romania: A Complete Guide for Patients from France and Belgium

 

Introduction

In recent years, more and more patients from France and Belgium have chosen to receive dental treatment in Romania.

  • Why? High quality + affordable prices + internationally trained doctors.

But to truly benefit from this experience, it’s important to be well informed:

  • ✅ How to choose the right clinic?
  • ✅ How does reimbursement work through EU Directive 2011/24/EU?
  • ✅ What risks should you avoid?

This guide is offered from the perspective of a top clinic — Bucharest British Dental Place, specialized in complex care for international patients.

Why Choose Romania?

  • ✅ Medical quality: many Romanian doctors trained in France, Germany, or the UK
  • ✅ Modern tech: CBCT, guided surgery, digital prosthetics
  • ✅ Costs 50–70% lower than in France
  • ✅ Easy access: direct flights, strong travel connections
  • ✅ Cultural proximity, French spoken in many clinics

How to Choose the Right Clinic?

Warning: not all clinics offer the same standards.

✅ What to look for:

  • Premium implants (Straumann, Anthogyr, Bicon)
  • Full digital planning
  • Advanced prosthetics (e.g., real Malo Bridge, not low-cost copies)
  • Experienced team for complex cases
  • Logistical support (airport pickup, accommodation, translation)

🚫 Avoid clinics that promote only “cheap prices” — quality dentistry is not a mass product.

Reimbursement via EU Directive 2011/24/EU

A crucial point for French and Belgian patients.

  • ✅ This directive allows you to receive treatment in another EU country (e.g., Romania)
  • ✅ You may request full or partial reimbursement in your home country (via CPAM / mutual insurance in France)

What you need:

  1. 1️⃣ Complete medical file (in French or English)
  2. 2️⃣ Proper invoices (in EUR)
  3. 3️⃣ Detailed final medical report

At Bucharest British Dental Place, we provide:

  • ✅ Full support in preparing the reimbursement file
  • ✅ Certified translations
  • ✅ Invoicing in EU-compliant format

👉 On average, our French patients recover 50–80% of their treatment costs.

Logistics & Travel

How is treatment organized?

  • ✅ Scheduled around your flight dates
  • ✅ Airport pick-up
  • ✅ Accommodation recommendations with partner hotels
  • ✅ Full local support during your stay

Average stay duration:

  • Surgical phase: 3–5 days
  • Final prosthetic phase: 5–7 days (after implant integration)

For full-mouth restorations (e.g., All-on-4, Malo Bridge):

  1. 1️⃣ Surgery + temporary prosthesis
  2. 2️⃣ Healing period: 3–6 months
  3. 3️⃣ Final restoration
