Dentists in Spain
Why Choose a Dentist in Spain?
Dentists in Spain are becoming more highly valued and this adds to the many reasons why Spain is becoming one of the major dental tourist destinations and is enjoying huge popularity of late.
Spain offers high quality dental care due to the stringent training that Dentists undergo in Spain, the price is often half what you would expect to pay in the UK or the US. Many Dentists speak excellent English, making communication so much easier. On top of everything, good weather is guaranteed.

Training to be a Dentist in Spain
To become a Dentist in Spain and get registered on the Spanish Dental Registry, it takes about five years studying at a Spanish University or a recognised European equivalent. Due to their high level of training and competence, Spanish Dentists can register in the UK General Dental Council, although this is unnecessary if the they are working in Spain.
Although you may be able to sae yourself up to 1,000 euros per implant compared to prices in the US or the UK, you should also take into account that you may need to go back to the dentist on several occasions and this should be worked into the total price.
Of course, prices will vary from clinic to clinic and it may be best to stick to large dental clinics in densely populated areas as they are also likely to speak English to a higher level.

ReplyHi Sarah,
You will need to get your qualifications accredited by the competent Spanish authorities. If your BDS is from a European University you shouldn’t have much difficulty.
Dentistry is a profession regulated by the Spanish ministry of health and consumption. Here is a link to their page, although I’m afraid most of it is in Spanish.
