Dental Treatment in Egypt vs Russia: 50–70% Less, the Same Materials

Implants from $700, All-on-4 from $2,000 per arch, E.max veneers from $250 — genuine Straumann and Ivoclar materials, a fixed written quote and structured follow-up after you fly home.

Dental treatment in Egypt at Cairo's best clinics costs 50–70% less than at Moscow private clinics — with the same materials: Straumann and Megagen implants, Ivoclar E.max ceramics, certified laboratories. Flights and hotels add roughly RUB 60,000–80,000 per person, so the net saving on major plans stays in the tens of thousands of rubles. The gap is not in the implants but in wages, rent and clinic overheads.

Egyptian prices are Doktorly's current Cairo list, confirmed by the fixed written quote. Russian ranges follow typical private-clinic rates.

Why the price gap is so large

Implants, ceramics and instruments cost nearly the same worldwide. Cheaper in Egypt are labour, the laboratory, rent and overall clinic overheads — not the materials. A premium implant integrates in Cairo exactly as it does in Moscow; only the invoice differs.

How to verify the clinic before travelling

Flights and logistics from Russia

Direct flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg take 4–5 hours to both Cairo and Hurghada. Visas are available on arrival (about $25) or as an e-visa in advance. Doktorly arranges airport pickup, a hotel next to the clinic and Russian-speaking care managers. After you fly home, photo reviews follow at one week, one month, three months and twelve months.

Treatment timelines

Worked example: Straumann implant, turn-key

In Moscow the full case usually runs RUB 120,000–180,000 — often with a generic implant brand. In Cairo you get the original Straumann for $700–1,200 (≈ RUB 65,000–110,000) all-inclusive, plus about RUB 70,000 for flights and hotel. The total, roughly RUB 135,000–180,000, is comparable in money — but at a premium system level, with brand-documented materials and concierge follow-up.

FAQ — Dental tourism: Egypt vs Russia

How safe is dental treatment in Egypt really?

Leading Cairo clinics follow CDC- and WHO-oriented sterilisation protocols and use CE/FDA-approved materials. Doktorly audits every partner clinic in person and requires an implant passport with serial numbers.

How much is an implant in Cairo exactly?

Original Straumann or Megagen systems with the crown run $700–1,200 (≈ RUB 65,000–110,000). The same turn-key case in Moscow typically costs RUB 120,000–180,000.

Are there Russian-speaking dentists or coordinators?

The clinics have international teams, and Doktorly adds Russian-speaking coordinators from your first enquiry to the final check-up. The consultation and the fixed quote are documented in Russian on request.

What happens after I return to Russia?

Doktorly remains your point of contact. Photo reviews happen at one week, one month, three months and twelve months. Each partner clinic's revision policy is written down before you book.

Do I need a visa?

Visa on arrival (about $25) or a pre-arranged e-visa. All you need for treatment is a clinic booking and the Doktorly quote.
