Having dental treatments while enjoying your holidays in the Algarve is an effective way to take care of your oral health while also taking the opportunity to get to know one of Portugal’s most popular and sunny tourist destinations.

By opting for dental treatments in the Algarve during your holidays, you can take advantage of the trip to enjoy everything the region offers: the rich Portuguese culture, the delicious local cuisine, the mild climate and the beautiful natural landscapes. This way, you can turn a necessity into an opportunity to relax and explore a new destination.

At Algarve Dental Implants, we prepare all the details to make your experience as relaxing as possible. You can carry out simple dental implant treatments or even more complex procedures such as “All-on-4“, which allow you to get a new set of teeth fixed on four implants in one day. The rest of your holiday can be spent discovering the beautiful Algarve.

Dr Cris Piessens, clinical director of Algarve Dental Implants, stands out as one of the most competent and experienced implantologists in Western Europe, having placed dental implants since 1987. Thanks to his extensive clinical experience, investment in research, and continuous training through various courses worldwide, he has become an authority in surgery and oral rehabilitation with dental implants.

In Portugal, dental treatments can be significantly cheaper than in many other European or North American countries. The price difference even allows you to offset travel and accommodation costs, making your holiday almost “zero” cost.

The Clinic is located in the city of Albufeira, a strategic point in the Algarve, for its central geographical location and combination of natural beauty, historical heritage and tourist offers. If you make this beautiful city your base, you can easily travel to the Algarve’s eastern and western extreme points. We leave you with a suggested itinerary that will allow you to discover it in five days. Remember, you’ll need some time for clinic visits, which will only be necessary for each specific case and without waiting, as everything will be scheduled in detail.
