For patients travelling from the UK
Dental Implants in Dublin for UK Patients
Save thousands versus UK private prices on All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch implants — in an EU-regulated, English-speaking clinic just a ~1 hour direct flight from most UK cities.
🇪🇺 EU-regulated & English-speaking
✈️ ~1 hr direct flight
Thousands of UK patients now travel abroad for dental implants because private prices at home have become unaffordable. Dublin gives you the savings of dental tourism without the long-haul flight or the unknowns — a short hop across the Irish Sea to a modern city-centre clinic working to full EU and Irish Dental Council standards, where everyone speaks English and your aftercare is only an hour away.
Why UK patients choose Dublin over UK prices
Our biggest savings are on full-arch implants — All-on-4 and All-on-6 — which is where it genuinely pays to travel. Single implants are available too, but a full arch is where UK patients save many thousands.
| Treatment | Typical UK private price | Empire Dublin (approx £) | You save around |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 (per arch) | £10,000–£15,000 | £5,620 | £4,000–£9,000+ |
| All-on-6 (per arch) | £14,000–£18,000 | £6,920 | £6,000–£11,000+ |
| Single implant + crown | £2,000–£2,800 | £560 + £560 | £700–£1,500 |
Empire prices are shown in pounds (approximate, converted at today’s exchange rate; treatment is billed in euro at the clinic). UK figures are typical private-clinic prices for comparison and vary by provider; £/€ exchange rate fluctuates. Your exact plan and quote are confirmed after a free consultation and X-ray. Even after flights and a hotel, most full-arch patients save several thousand pounds.
Our most popular full-arch options
All-on-4 — full arch
£5,620 / arch
4 implants supporting 10–12 zirconia crowns — a fixed, full set of teeth anchored on four implants. Ideal when several or all teeth are missing or failing.
All-on-6 — full arch
£6,920 / arch
6 implants supporting 12–14 zirconia crowns for extra strength and stability — recommended where bone allows, for the most durable full-arch result.
Thinking about Turkey? Here’s the honest comparison
Turkey advertises lower headline prices, and for some patients that works. But many UK patients tell us they want the savings without a long-haul flight, an unfamiliar healthcare system, or difficulty getting back for aftercare. Here is how Dublin compares fairly:
| Dublin (Empire) | Turkey | |
|---|---|---|
| Flight from the UK | ~1 hour | ~4–5 hours |
| Regulation | EU / Irish Dental Council | Non-EU |
| Language | English (first language) | Interpreter / varies |
| Crowns used | Premium zirconia | Often metal-fused porcelain |
| Coming back for aftercare | Quick & cheap | Long, costly trip |
| Consumer protection | EU rights apply | Outside EU |
We’re upfront: Turkey can be cheaper on paper. Dublin’s value is the balance — serious savings on UK prices, premium materials, English-speaking care, and a clinic you can pop back to in an afternoon if you ever need to.
How many days do I need in Dublin?
Implant treatment is normally done in two stages, because the implant needs time to fuse with the bone before the final teeth go on:
Visit 1 — placement
Consultation, 3D scan/X-ray, any extractions and the implants placed. For full-arch cases we can often fit temporary fixed teeth so you fly home with a smile. Many patients come in the morning and fly home that evening, or stay just one night.
Visit 2 — final teeth
After healing (typically 3–6 months) you return for impressions and to fit your permanent zirconia teeth. Again, a day trip or a single overnight is usually all you need.
Day-trip friendly: with ~1-hour flights and a clinic 25–30 minutes from Dublin Airport, most appointments fit comfortably into a single day — or pair them with a short city break.
Getting here is easy

Super doctor--GARDEN I recommend this clinic. Excellent service and staff. Dr. Ayad is super, a professional. It was my first time visiting this clinic, and it will definitely not be my last. I had a great experience with Empire Clinic. I recently had two root canal treatments (RCTs) done there, and I was very impressed with the professionalism of the team. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.

The treatment was carried out to a high standard, and the pricing was very reasonable compared to other clinics I contacted. Everything was explained clearly, and the care I received was excellent from start to finish.
I would highly recommend Empire Clinic to anyone looking for professional dental care in Dublin
UK patient FAQs
How many days do I need to stay in Dublin?
Often none overnight — with ~1-hour flights, many patients come in the morning and fly home in the evening. Treatment is split into two trips (placement, then final teeth after 3–6 months of healing), each usually a day trip or a single night.
Is it really cheaper than the UK after flights and a hotel?
For full-arch implants, yes — comfortably. UK All-on-4 typically runs £10,000–£15,000 per arch; ours is £5,620. Even adding a €15–€70 flight and a €40–€50 hotel, most patients save several thousand pounds.
Why Dublin instead of Turkey?
A ~1-hour flight instead of 4–5 hours, full EU/Irish Dental Council regulation, English as a first language, premium zirconia crowns, and easy, low-cost return trips for aftercare. Turkey can be cheaper on paper; Dublin wins on overall balance and peace of mind.
Will I get a fixed smile on the first visit?
For full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6) cases we can often place temporary fixed teeth on the day of surgery where bone quality allows, so you don’t leave without a smile. Your final zirconia teeth are fitted after healing.
What if I need a question answered once I’m home?
You can reach your dentist directly by phone or WhatsApp. We provide aftercare support throughout your healing — you’re never left on your own once you fly back.
How do I get a quote?
Send us a photo of your smile by WhatsApp or book a free consultation. We’ll give you an indicative plan and price; the final quote is confirmed after an X-ray and examination.
