Sonin Hambaravi Dental Clinic is an implant-focused dental practice in central Tallinn, founded and led by Dr. Dmitriy Sonin and operating since 2005. Its core work is dental implants — single implants and full-arch All-on-4 / All-on-6 restorations planned in 3D — alongside crowns, bridges, dentures and general restorative dentistry.
It is also a useful example of why Estonia works as a dental destination at all: inside the EU and its regulation, a two-hour ferry from Helsinki or a short flight from most of Europe, and priced well below Finland, Scandinavia, Germany and the UK.
What It Costs
| Treatment | Sonin, Tallinn | For comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Implant + crown, per tooth | €1,200–1,800 (clinic’s own price) | Helsinki: €2,500–3,500 |
| All-on-4, per arch | ask the clinic — Estonia generally €8,000–12,000 | Germany: from ~€15,000 · UK: ~£15,000–25,000 |
The per-tooth price is the clinic’s published range and includes surgical placement, the healing abutment and the final ceramic crown. What moves it within the range: the implant system chosen, whether bone grafting is needed, and the crown material.
The clinic doesn’t publish a fixed All-on-4 / All-on-6 price — full-arch work depends too much on the individual case — so the figures in that row are general market ranges, not this clinic’s quote. Ask for a written plan after your scan.
Work carries a 5-year guarantee, with follow-up checks during that period at no extra charge.
The Doctor
Dr. Dmitriy Sonin has 19 years of practice. He holds a DDS from the University of Tartu (2003–2008) and a Master of Oral Implantology from Goethe University Frankfurt (2018–2019), and is a member of the EHL (Estonian Dental Association), EIO and DGI (German Society of Oral Implantology). His focus is implantology and prosthodontics — the two halves of an implant case, the surgery and the teeth that go on top.
He speaks Russian, Estonian, Finnish, English and German, which means treatment planning and informed consent happen directly with the doctor rather than through an interpreter.

Logistics for an International Patient
Getting there. From Helsinki, ferries to Tallinn run about 10 times a day and take roughly 2–2.5 hours depending on the operator. Tallinn Airport has direct flights from much of Europe.
How long you need. Implant placement and the final crown need a minimum of two visits separated by a healing period — or a single extended stay of 5–7 nights, according to the clinic. For Helsinki residents the two-visit route is the easy one: the ferry makes the second trip, and any unplanned check, straightforward.
Visa. Estonia is in the EU and the Schengen Area. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens need no visa; citizens of many other countries, including the US, UK, Canada and Australia, can visit visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Visa-exempt travellers are due to need an ETIAS pre-travel authorisation once it launches — check the current rules for your nationality before booking.
Currency. Euro — no exchange costs for eurozone patients.
Who It Suits — and Who It Doesn’t
The clinic makes the most sense for:
- Finnish and Nordic patients, for whom the price gap is large and the ferry makes two trips easy
- Patients who want to discuss implant treatment in Russian, Finnish or German directly with the surgeon
- Anyone wanting EU regulation, a 5-year guarantee and a clinic close enough to return to
It is not the cheapest option in Europe. If price is the only factor, Hungary and Turkey cost less per implant — at the price of a longer journey and a clinic that’s harder to get back to if something needs adjusting.
What to Bring
- A recent panoramic X-ray (OPG), or a CBCT scan if you have one — the clinic will scan you anyway, but these help give an estimate in advance
- Your dental history: extractions, previous implants, grafts, gum disease treatment
- Your medical history — especially diabetes, osteoporosis, bisphosphonates, smoking and anticoagulants
- Current medication list
- Any treatment plan or quote you’ve been given at home, for comparison
