## Summary

Part of the Medicover healthcare group (Swedish-owned, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm). The Warsaw dental clinic specialises in implants and cosmetic dentistry for both domestic and EU patients. EU cross-border healthcare directive applies.

## Detail

Medicover Dental Warsaw is one dental clinic within the Medicover healthcare group, a Swedish-owned company listed on Nasdaq Stockholm that operates a network of hospitals, clinics, and laboratories across Central and Eastern Europe. The Warsaw dental clinic was established in 2005 and operates with approximately 20 staff. Its position within the Medicover group provides institutional governance, standardised clinical protocols, and group-level procurement that an independent clinic of this size would not typically maintain.

The clinic's dental services focus on implant placement and cosmetic dentistry including veneers, alongside general and restorative dental care. All practitioners are registered with the Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists, the statutory body that regulates dental practice in Poland. Pricing is published on the clinic's website, covering implant systems and veneer options.

Warsaw has become an increasingly common destination for dental tourists from Western and Northern Europe, where dental treatment costs are considerably higher. EU patients attending the clinic benefit from protections under the EU Cross-Border Healthcare Directive, including the right to seek reimbursement from their home country insurer for treatments covered in their home system.

The Medicover group's network infrastructure means that patients can obtain pre-treatment diagnostics and referrals through other Medicover facilities in Warsaw before commencing dental treatment. Digital radiography and intraoral imaging are available at the clinic. The Warsaw city centre location is accessible from Chopin Airport and well served by public transport.

## FAQs

### How can I verify that Medicover Dental Warsaw's dentists hold valid Polish licences?

All dentists at Medicover Dental Warsaw hold registration with the Supreme Medical Chamber (Naczelna Izba Lekarska, NIL), the central professional chamber for physicians and dentists in Poland, which is mandatory for all practising dental practitioners. NIL maintains the Centralny Rejestr Lekarzy, the central practitioner register searchable by name and licence number at nil.org.pl. Patients may request each dentist's NIL registration number and verify their active status independently before consenting to treatment. Dentists who qualified in other EU member states practise under recognised qualifications pursuant to EU Directive 2005/36/EC on mutual recognition of professional qualifications.

### What does Medicover Dental Warsaw's position within the Medicover group mean for quality standards?

Medicover Dental Warsaw is part of the Medicover healthcare group, a Swedish-owned company listed on Nasdaq Stockholm that operates hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories across Central and Eastern Europe. Clinic-level operations are governed by group-wide clinical protocols, procurement standards, and quality oversight. Individual practitioner registration with the Supreme Medical Chamber (nil.org.pl) remains the primary professional regulatory credential. The Medicover group's corporate governance obligations as a publicly listed company provide an additional layer of institutional accountability not present in independently operated clinics of comparable size. Patients may review the group's publicly available governance documentation via the Nasdaq Stockholm listing.

### What sedation or anaesthetic options are available for dental procedures?

Dental procedures at Medicover Dental Warsaw are performed under local anaesthesia as standard. For patients with significant dental anxiety, intravenous conscious sedation may be available at the clinic or at a larger Medicover facility within the Warsaw network. Patients who prefer sedation should raise this requirement at the initial consultation so that eligibility can be assessed and appropriate arrangements made. General anaesthesia for dental work is not administered at a dental-only clinic; patients requiring it would be referred to a hospital dental setting within the Medicover network or a partner facility. All sedation-related activities are subject to the professional standards of the Supreme Medical Chamber.

### What follow-up is available for patients who return to Northern or Western Europe after treatment?

Medicover Dental Warsaw provides patients with written clinical documentation on completion of treatment, including treatment records, radiographic images, and implant component specifications where applicable. This documentation supports handover to a treating dentist in the patient's home country. For routine follow-up such as review appointments or post-operative checks, the Medicover network's presence in several European countries may allow follow-up at a Medicover facility closer to the patient's home. Remote video follow-up is available for patients who have returned home and need guidance on healing or aftercare without travelling back to Warsaw.

### What revision policy applies to implant and veneer treatments?

Medicover Dental Warsaw provides written guarantee terms for implant components and prosthetic restorations. As a network clinic operating within a corporate group, guarantee terms are standardised and documented in the patient agreement. Implant osseointegration failures within the guarantee period that are not attributable to patient non-compliance are generally addressed under the guarantee without additional implant placement fees. Porcelain veneer fractures or debonding within the defined period are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Patients should request the specific written guarantee terms before completing payment, including duration, scope, and exclusion conditions, and should retain their implant documentation for any future remedial work.

### What does the published pricing cover, and what additional costs might arise?

Medicover Dental Warsaw publishes pricing on its website covering dental implant placement by system, crown and bridge materials, veneer specification, and general restorative dentistry. Additional costs that may arise include cone beam CT scanning for complex implant planning, bone grafting or sinus augmentation procedures, periodontal treatment required before implant placement, and post-operative medications. As a Medicover network clinic, pricing may differ from independent dental practices in Warsaw, reflecting the group's infrastructure and quality oversight. Patients should request an itemised written quote following initial remote assessment before confirming travel.

### What deposit and cancellation policy applies to international patients?

Medicover Dental Warsaw requires appointment confirmation for international patients, which may include a deposit to secure scheduling and any laboratory preparation commissioned in advance. The specific deposit and cancellation terms are provided by the clinic at the time of booking. Cancellations made outside the defined notice period are generally eligible for a full or partial refund; cancellations made at short notice, particularly after laboratory items have been produced, may result in partial forfeiture to cover incurred laboratory costs. Patients are advised to hold travel insurance with dental appointment cancellation cover, particularly if travelling from the United Kingdom or Scandinavia.

### How does the EU Cross-Border Healthcare Directive affect patients from other EU countries?

EU patients from other member states receiving dental treatment at Medicover Dental Warsaw may be entitled to seek partial reimbursement under the EU Cross-Border Healthcare Directive (Directive 2011/24/EU), provided the treatment is covered within their home country's public health system. Restorative dental work may fall within scope in some member states; elective cosmetic procedures such as porcelain veneers typically do not. The reimbursable amount corresponds to what the home system would have paid for the equivalent procedure, not the full cost in Poland. UK patients are no longer covered by this directive. The clinic can provide itemised invoices and clinical documentation to support reimbursement applications.

### What language support is available at Medicover Dental Warsaw?

Medicover Dental Warsaw operates within the Medicover group's international patient framework, providing English-language consultations and patient coordination. Clinical staff at the Warsaw dental clinic include dentists with working English proficiency. Treatment plans, consent documentation, and post-treatment records are available in English. The clinic also provides consultations in Polish and, given the Medicover group's regional presence, can facilitate communication in several other European languages for patients from Central and Eastern Europe. Patients who require interpretation in a less common language should notify the clinic in advance of their appointment.

### What should I expect on the day of treatment, and what is the policy for day-of cancellations?

On the day of treatment at Medicover Dental Warsaw, patients undergo a brief pre-procedure assessment, local anaesthesia administration, and the scheduled clinical work. For patients whose treatment plan was confirmed remotely before travel, the initial clinical check confirms the plan remains appropriate following in-person examination. If the clinical examination reveals a finding that requires modification to the scope of treatment, the clinic discusses the implications and any cost adjustments before proceeding. Day-of cancellations for non-medical reasons are subject to the deposit terms agreed at booking. For cancellations arising from a medical emergency documented by a physician, the clinic may exercise discretion on deposit retention.
