What to Expect When You Travel to Greece for Dental Care
If you’re thinking about getting dental work done in Greece, you probably have a few questions.
“How does it work?” “Will it be stressful?” “Is it really that easy?”
The good news is: yes, it can be very smooth—if you know what to expect.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how dental tourism in Greece actually works:
📝 1. Initial Inquiry & Consultation (Remote)
Most Greek dental clinics working with international patients offer free remote consultations.
You send a few photos, X-rays (if you have them), and basic info about your case. The clinic evaluates your situation and sends back:
- A treatment plan
- An estimated cost
- Suggested duration of stay
👉 You’ll know everything before booking your flight.
✈️ 2. Travel & Accommodation
Flights to Athens are frequent and affordable from most European cities.

- Booking nearby hotels
- Arranging airport transfers
- Scheduling appointments around your flight dates

🛏️ Tip: Some patients book 3–6 nights, depending on the procedure.
🏥 3. First Visit to the Clinic
Once you arrive, your first appointment is usually a detailed examination, including:
- 3D imaging or X-rays
- Review and confirmation of the treatment plan
- Timeline for the sessions (some treatments happen same-day)
Most dentists speak excellent English and explain everything clearly.
🦷 4. Your Dental Treatment Begins
Whether it’s implants, crowns, veneers, or general work, you can expect:
- Top-tier equipment
- High-quality materials
- A modern, professional environment
In many cases, you’ll need 2–3 appointments spread across a few days.
😌 5. Recovery & Rest
After your main treatment, you’ll have time to rest and recover—maybe even enjoy a bit of sightseeing or beach time. Greece’s climate and relaxed pace make it ideal for recovery.
Your clinic may check in with you before departure to ensure everything looks good.
🌍 6. Aftercare & Follow-Up
Before you go, you’ll receive:
- Aftercare instructions
- Medications if needed
- Contact info for remote follow-up (email/WhatsApp)
Some clinics may even offer coordination with your local dentist back home for long-term care.
✅ So, Is It Complicated?
Not at all. In fact, most patients say the experience is easier and more personal than at home—and at a much better price.
