Hollywood Smile from Dublin
Your new smile in Tunis in 5-7 days — connection via London or Paris
From Dublin Airport, Tunis is a 4-hour journey with a single connection in London or Paris. Despite the indirect routing, our Irish patients consistently report the trip is worthwhile — saving on average €9,000 to €14,000 compared to private Dublin or Cork clinic prices, with the same Ivoclar IPS e.max materials used in Ireland.

Why Tunis from Dublin
rather than Istanbul or Bangkok?
Easier than you might expect
While there are no direct flights Dublin-Tunis, the 1-stop journey via London Heathrow or Paris CDG takes only 4 to 5 hours total. Daily Aer Lingus connections, with Ryanair offering budget alternatives via Stansted. Smooth same-day transit.
Fluent English-speaking team
Our coordinator, dentist and entire team speak fluent English. No language barrier in medical discussions — a critical factor for any dental procedure. Many of our practitioners have trained or worked in English-speaking countries.
Major savings vs Dublin private dentists
A full Hollywood Smile (10 veneers) in a private Dublin or Cork clinic typically costs €12,000 to €18,000. The same treatment in Tunis with identical materials costs €2,100 to €2,500. The savings (€10,000+) make the trip financially attractive even with the indirect routing.
EU regulatory standards
Tunisia aligns its dental materials and protocols with EU MDR standards. Our partner clinic is fully accredited and uses CE-marked, traceable materials — the same Ivoclar Vivadent and 3M products used in Irish private dental clinics.

What our Dublin patients say
"I priced a Hollywood Smile with three private clinics in Dublin — the cheapest quote was €13,200. Came across this clinic online, flew via London Heathrow on a Sunday, and had my full set of E-Max veneers fitted by Friday. Total cost €2,300, even with the connecting flight and hotel. The English-speaking coordinator handled everything from airport pickup to follow-up calls. Would recommend without hesitation."
