Visiting Mosonmagyarovar as a Dental Tourist

With the highest concentration of dentists per capita in the world, the Hungarian border town of Mosonmagyarovar has long been a popular choice for international patients seeking more affordable dental work.

Most of these patients drive across from nearby Austria, although with prices of up to 70% lower than in the UK, the US and Germany, the town is starting to attract a more diverse clientele seeking low-cost care away from home.

Part of the wider Győr-Moson-Sopron county, the small, quaint town is also known as simply “Óvár” (definitely good news for foreigners not proficient in the native language!)

While the Hungarian capital of Budapest has become known as one of the world’s “ dental tourism capitals,” many patients find that cities like Mosonmagyarovar, as well as nearby Sopron and Gyor, are much easier to reach when driving eastwards from neighbouring European countries.

Whatsmore, prices outside the capital tend to be a little lower than in Budapest, in spite of the fact that dentists have the same qualifications, licenses and professional training.

Patients intending to fly can also travel from nearby Vienna or Bratislava (40 and 30 minutes by road, respectively).

The town’s 150-year-old train station is on the main route connecting Budapest with Vienna, forming part of the regional “Golden Triangle” between Slovakia, Austria and Hungary.

How Much Does Dental Care Cost in Mosonmagyarovar?

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Mosonmagyarovar for Treatment?

Some patients are able to drive into Mosonmagyarovar for their appointment in the morning and head back home a few hours later; this may also be possible when flying into nearby Vienna or Bratislava.

This would typically be achievable when undergoing general dental work where only one appointment is necessary, like teeth whitening, or in cases where the clinic is able to produce “same-day” prosthetics, such as veneers or crowns.

For dental surgeries or more complex implant-based restorations, you may need to plan a stay for several days, often with two separate trips needed. 

For overnight stays, the town is home to a number of decent hotels and guesthouses, as we see in more detail in the following section.

Mosonmagyarovar Travel Information

Drawing comparison to Los Algodones, aka “Molar City” in Mexico, Hungary’s border town of Mosonmagyarovar is known for one thing and one thing only: inexpensive, high-quality dental care.

Welcoming over 150,000 patients a year, it comes as no surprise that the town is well-prepared to receive foreign visitors, with plenty of hotels, guesthouses, western-style restaurants, convenience stores and English/German-speaking staff.

Away from the dentist’s chair, this ancient spa town has a couple of interesting spots to check out, including the Futura science museum, the Flexum-Thermal Spa and a handful of other destinations where you can treat yourself to a massage or manicure.

For evening entertainment, don’t expect to find the same range of cocktail bars and lounges as the Budapest or Bratislava; most of the watering holes in town are more in the form of cozy pubs, as well as a few hotel bars which stay open until around midnight.

How Do I Get to Mosonmagyarovar?

The majority of patients visiting “Ovar” for dental work drive across from the Austrian border (a few minutes to the east) or the Slovakian border (roughly the same distance to the north).

Do make sure to check the latest entry requirements when driving over the land border into Hungary. At the time of writing, there is no need to apply for a visa in advance.

There is also a train station in the town center with trains running to and from Budapest/Vienna. Private and public buses (coaches) also run on a daily basis.

Can I Fly to Mosonmagyarovar?

Unsurprisingly, this small town does not have its own airport. However, flying into the region from across Europe is certainly a viable option with three major international airports located in the vicinity:

• Budapest—1 hr 45 min (193 km) via M1

• Bratislava—35 min (50 km) via M15 and E65/E75

• Vienna—1 hr (70 km) via A4

The flight time from the UK is approximately two hours. Direct flights currently run from all London airports, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol, Luton, Birmingham and Dublin.

Please note: Many of our partner clinics offer free shuttle services to and from the airport when arriving in Vienna or Bratislava. Ask our Customer Care Team for more details.

How Much Do Flights to Mosonmagyarovar Cost?

Whether flying to Vienna, Bratislava or Budapest, return flights from the UK (London) are available for as little as EUR 40 and no more than EUR 100 when booking with budget carriers like Ryanair, Wizz Air or EasyJet.

Do expect to pay a little more than this when flying with national carriers.

Note: Price estimates were obtained from Skyscanner at the time of writing.

Where to Stay in Mosonmagyarovar?

The town and surrounding area has around two-dozen hotels, guesthouses and resort-style options to pick from.

Most options currently listed on Booking.com fall into the EUR 50–100 price range.

Highly-rated four-star hotels include Aquasol Resort and Hotel Lajta Park, both priced at approximately EUR 100 per night for a double or deluxe room.

Note: Some of our partner clinics offer free or discounted accommodation packages when booking major dental work in Mosonmagyarovar. Talk to our Customer Care Team to see how we can make your dental trip more affordable.

What Else Is There to Do in Mosonmagyarovar?

As we’ve mentioned, the main reason people visit Ovar is to get their teeth fixed for hundreds or even thousands less than back home. That said, it might be worth doing a bit of bargain shopping before you head home, with items such as books, cigars, wine, clothing and souvenirs all proving popular with dental day-trippers.
