Why Patients from Ireland Travel to India
Healthcare Challenges in Ireland
Dental Implants in Ireland: Expensive
A single dental implant in Ireland — covering the implant post, abutment, and crown — costs significantly more than in India. Multiple missing teeth can cost tens of thousands.
Limited Public Dental Funding
Dental implants are largely self-funded in Ireland. NHS/public dental coverage, where it exists, rarely includes implants except in exceptional reconstructive circumstances.
Long Waiting Times for Popular Implantologists
Popular dental implant specialists in Ireland have 3–9 month waiting lists. In India, GAF arranges implant placement within 2–3 weeks of first contact.
Multiple Missing Teeth: Very Costly in Ireland
Replacing 4+ teeth with implants or All-on-4 in Ireland costs tens of thousands. India's All-on-4 pricing makes full arch rehabilitation accessible to many more patients.
