If you live abroad and are considering dental treatment in Klaipėda, start by arranging an assessment and explaining how long you can stay. The number of visits, the treatment sequence and the full cost can be confirmed only after an examination and any necessary investigations. Crowns involve laboratory work, while implant treatment can involve healing over several months, so a short trip may cover only part of a treatment plan.
This guide adapts our Lithuanian information for patients visiting from abroad. It brings together practical questions to settle before travelling, prices from our published price list and arrangements to discuss before returning home.
Contact the clinic before arranging treatment dates
Call +370 6333 7870, email info@miskoklinika.lt or use the enquiry form on our contact page. Tell us what you would like help with, your arrival and departure dates, and whether you can return for later stages. Ask about appointment availability before committing to a timetable for treatment.
Miško Clinic is at Kretingos g. 81-1, Klaipėda. Opening hours are Monday and Tuesday 9:00 to 17:00, Wednesday and Thursday 9:00 to 19:00, and Friday 9:00 to 15:00. Plan appointments on weekdays and check the contact page when arranging your visit.
You can discuss treatment in English. The published profiles of Dr Lauras Smilgevičius, Dr Rasa Smilgevičienė and Dr Donatas Kubilius confirm that they speak English. Mention your language preference when booking.
What to bring to the first appointment
- An identity document.
- A list of medicines you take and information about allergies and relevant medical conditions.
- Existing dental X-rays, scan reports and records of previous treatment, preferably as digital copies with their dates.
- Your questions, your travel dates and any priorities you want the dentist to understand.
Bring the records you already have rather than arranging a new X-ray solely for this trip. The dentist will decide whether further imaging is needed after reviewing your history, previous images and examination findings. This approach follows the American Dental Association’s 2026 imaging recommendations. Where a 3D CBCT scan is needed for planning, ask about its purpose and cost.
When the treatment plan becomes clear
The first consultation is the starting point for examining your teeth and gums, discussing your concerns and preparing a written treatment plan. Ask the dentist to explain priorities, alternatives, individual charges and which stages can fit within your stay. Confirm the next appointments after that assessment.
If you return after several months, or your dental condition changes, the plan may need updating. If new findings change the scope or cost during treatment, these should be discussed with you before proceeding. Keep a copy of the agreed plan for your own records and for any dentist you see after returning home.
Which treatments may need separate visits or trips?
| Treatment | What to discuss when planning |
|---|---|
| Dental hygiene and fillings | Ask how many appointments are needed for the work identified at your examination and which problems take priority during a short stay. |
| Root canal treatment | Ask whether further appointments and a final restoration will be needed, and how unfinished stages will be managed between visits. |
| Crowns | Allow for preparation, laboratory work, fitting and any adjustments. Confirm the sequence before deciding how long to stay. |
| Implants, including full-arch treatment | Discuss assessment, any preparatory work, surgery, healing, the final restoration and follow-up as separate stages. These can require more than one trip. |
Implant placement and fitting the final tooth are separate parts of treatment. Leeds Teaching Hospitals’ patient guidance explains that implants generally need months to bond with the bone, that grafting can lengthen treatment and that making the final teeth can involve several visits. These are reasons to leave flexibility between trips. Your dentist sets the timing for your case.
Understand the cost components
Use the published price list as a starting point, then ask for the charges that apply to your whole plan. For example, a dental X-ray is listed at 10 €, full professional dental hygiene at 70 €, and composite fillings at 80 €, 100 € or 120 € according to the number of surfaces restored. These are individual service prices.
For a single tooth restored with an implant, the published components are:
| Component | Osstem | Straumann |
|---|---|---|
| Implant | 550 € | 650 € |
| Healing abutment | 70 € | 80 € |
| Zirconia crown with a standard abutment | 500 € | 550 € |
| Sum of these three items | 1,120 € | 1,280 € |
Consultation, X-rays or CBCT imaging, tooth extraction and additional procedures such as bone grafting are outside these three-item sums. Ask which are needed and have their costs included in your written plan. Set aside a separate budget for your own travel, accommodation and any further trips.
Larger treatment plans can be divided into stages and paid after each visit. Discuss payment stages when agreeing your plan. If you intend to claim from an insurer, check directly with the insurer what it covers and which documents it requires before starting treatment.
Arrange follow-up before returning home
Before leaving, ask when your next check is due, whether you need to return to Klaipėda and how routine care will continue where you live. Ask for written aftercare instructions and copies of relevant treatment records. For implant treatment, ask which implant details a dentist at home may need. The NHS guidance on treatment abroad highlights the importance of exchanging records and understanding how aftercare will be provided when you return.
If a problem develops after you leave Lithuania, contact the clinic with a description of what happened, when it started and the treatment you received. If you need urgent dental care, seek help where you are rather than waiting for another trip. Our urgent dental care page explains what to do while you are in Klaipėda.
Difficulty breathing, speaking or swallowing, or severe swelling in the mouth, needs emergency help. These warning signs are listed in the NHS dental abscess guidance. Call the emergency number for the country you are in. In Lithuania and elsewhere in the EU, 112 is available free of charge.
Questions about visiting from abroad
Can my treatment plan be confirmed before I travel?
Your treatment plan and the appointments it requires are confirmed after an examination and any necessary investigations. When you contact the clinic, explain your concerns and travel dates so you can discuss an initial appointment. Bring existing records and X-rays to that visit.
Will I need more than one trip for an implant?
Plan for the possibility of separate trips for assessment, surgery and the final crown. Healing between implant placement and the final restoration usually takes months, and extra treatment can add stages. The dentist will confirm the sequence and timing for your case.
What does the single-tooth implant example include?
The 1,120 € Osstem example includes the implant, healing abutment and zirconia crown with a standard abutment. The equivalent Straumann items total 1,280 €. Consultation, imaging, tooth extraction and any additional procedures are outside these three-item sums and must be considered separately in your treatment plan.
Can I discuss treatment in English?
Yes. The published profiles of Dr Lauras Smilgevičius, Dr Rasa Smilgevičienė and Dr Donatas Kubilius state that they speak English. Mention that you would like an appointment in English when contacting the clinic.
To discuss an initial appointment, contact Miško Clinic with your preferred dates, language and a brief description of what you need.
