Your questions, our answers
Why Morocco rather than Turkey or Hungary?
Comparable prices, but with decisive advantages for European travellers: only 2 hours from Paris or Brussels, same time zone, English and French widely spoken, no visa required, and exceptional cultural and culinary richness. Morocco objectively offers the best value-to-practicality ratio for European patients.
Does EstheticaPlus organise the entire stay?
Yes, from A to Z. We handle: express online quote (24h), treatment calendar coordination, return airport transfers with an English-speaking driver, partner accommodation at negotiated rates, SIM card on arrival, and in-clinic support. All you need to do is book your flights.
How many days should I plan for my dental stay?
It depends on the treatment: single implant or crowns → 4 to 6 days. All-on-4 / All-on-6 or complex rehabilitation → 7 to 10 days. A short second visit (2 to 3 days) is generally scheduled 3 to 6 months later for placement of the final prosthetics. We plan everything around your availability.
How does follow-up work after I return home?
Our team remains reachable by WhatsApp and email after your return. You receive a detailed care booklet with post-operative instructions and any necessary prescriptions. In case of a question or complication, we respond within 24 hours. A local dentist can also carry out routine follow-up based on our treatment file.
Can I bring a companion?
Absolutely — and we recommend it! Your companion can explore Tangier and the surrounding area while you are being treated. Partner hotels offer very competitive double room rates. Some couples or families use the trip as an opportunity for the companion to book their own dental check-up with our team.
Is Morocco safe for a medical trip in 2026?
Yes. Morocco is recognised as the safest country in the Maghreb by the majority of travel guides and consular agencies. Tangier is a modern, well-equipped city accustomed to international visitors. Our organised transfers ensure your safety throughout all journeys. If you have any concerns, we provide personalised advice on neighbourhoods and activities.
