Dental & Cosmetic Care for Patients from Cardiff
Save up to 84% vs Welsh private dental prices. Direct flights from Cardiff Airport (CWL) to Chișinău (RMO) in ~3h15 with HiSky — from £28.
Welsh patients from Cardiff, Swansea, and South Wales can access premium dental treatments in Moldova at a fraction of local costs. Direct flights from Cardiff Airport (CWL) to Chișinău (RMO) take approximately 3h15.
Wales has some of the lowest NHS dental access rates in the UK — large parts of the country have no NHS dentists accepting new patients. Cardiff's private practices charge £2,000–3,200 per implant, with All-on-4 costs running £10,000–14,000 for full-arch restoration. The rural areas of South Wales, Swansea and the Valleys face even more severe NHS dental shortages, pushing thousands of Welsh patients toward private care or delayed treatment. Cardiff Airport (CWL) offers direct flights to Chișinău (RMO) with HiSky in approximately 3 hours 15 minutes — making Moldova a highly accessible destination for patients across South Wales and the Welsh valleys. Patients from Newport, Swansea, and the South Wales Valleys typically fly from CWL, while North Wales patients may prefer Manchester Airport. Cardiff Airport is conveniently located just 20 minutes from Cardiff city centre and has excellent road access via the A4232 to the M4 motorway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Patients Say
“From Swansea — I drove to Cardiff Airport, which took just over an hour, and flew direct to Moldova. My dentist in Swansea had quoted £13,000 for All-on-4. In Moldova, the entire treatment cost £3,600, the care was exceptional, and the flight was shorter than driving to London. I'd absolutely do it again in a heartbeat. My Swansea dentist reviewed all the work and was impressed with the quality and precision.”
