The only directory of 🇺🇦Ukrainian-run dentists in Slovakia

Dental care in Slovakia is provided by private clinics and individual practitioners. Among dentists working with foreigners, 14 offer services in Ukrainian, 14 in Slovak, 8 in Russian, and 6 in English. Most are located in larger cities, with some practices in shopping centres like OC Tambor or residential areas such as Žilina-Solinky. Prices vary widely depending on the procedure, clinic location, and materials used. Always ask for a written cost estimate before treatment begins.

What to check before booking

• Verify the dentist holds a valid Slovak license to practice (look for diplomas displayed in the office or ask directly)
• Ask whether the quoted price includes all stages of treatment or only the initial consultation
• Confirm which languages the dentist speaks during the appointment, not just reception staff
• Check if the clinic provides itemized receipts that your insurance may accept
• Ask about the warranty period for fillings, crowns, or other work

Slovakia does not maintain a single public registry of dentists searchable by language or specialty, so recommendations from other foreigners and direct contact remain the most reliable way to find a suitable provider. If you need specialized care—such as endodontics, orthodontics, or oral surgery—confirm the practitioner's qualifications in that area. Some general dentists refer complex cases to specialists.

Payment is typically expected immediately after each visit. Many clinics accept cash and card; some issue invoices for insurance reimbursement. Public health insurance covers basic procedures for residents, but foreigners on temporary stays usually pay out of pocket. If you are unsure about a diagnosis or proposed treatment plan, seeking a second opinion is common practice. Keep all documentation, including X-rays and treatment records, especially if you plan to continue care in another country. For help with dental terminology, consult the glossary.
