Why Piestany Dental Clinic & Spa?

"My circumstances were that I required 5 implants, which in the UK would cost £9,500 plus the cost of X-rays, dental cleaning etc. I searched the Internet and eventually chose Dental Holiday, not for any particular reason other than they have a British guy on staff who I communicated with initially.
Prices from them varied slightly, my quote being £3,800 with no additional charges.
Once I made contact in the UK via e-mail they were extremely helpful giving a load of information not all available on their web site. Once I settled on a date, they organised the hotel and dentist appointments. I flew with Sky Europe the Slovak equivalent of Easy Jet from Stanstead the flight costing my wife and I a total of £128 return. I could have used Easy Jet who were similarly priced flying out of Luton. There was no difference regarding service except Sky Europe allocated seating.
We decided to stay in a modern apartment overlooking the park which the clinic organised for us for a fantastic price (just 130 pounds for the week). The following day we were met by Daniel Shaw who spent a great deal of time explaining the agenda whilst we were in Piestany. Daniel is an essential contact as he dispels many fears you might have and answers all those niggling questions that you have stored in the back of your mind. Journey to the clinic from the hotel was about 10 minutes walk and there I found the dental clinic.
Having been to many dentists in the UK I can assure you this practise had state of the art equipment and their hygiene standards were far better than ours. The treatment took approximately one hour although the total time was about two at the surgery. On completion I was given a course of antibiotics and strong painkillers, which I found I did not need to take. I did have discomfort and soreness to my gums but the actual implants were not a problem. I had to return the following day to have a replacement denture (how long would that have taken in the UK) and then flew out early the following day. Ideally they would have preferred me being in the country a little longer however I had the treatment at 10am on the Tuesday and flew out at 7am on the Thursday.
I returned in August for my final treatment, I have saved a considerable amount of money, will have had a holiday and not compromised my teeth one iota. I also met several couples from the UK and Ireland having similar treatment some on different packages, nobody had any complaints about the work they had done.
I would recommend before undergoing treatment you use your own dentist to find out exactly what you require and what is and what is not possible.
I am more than willing to spend time talking to anyone interested in having similar treatment. Friends of mine are already planning to take up this option for dentistry."

"I am very pleased to be asked to write something about my experiences with Dental Holiday.
I have had extensive very good private dental treatment in the UK for the last 20 years. The quality of the treatment with Dental Holiday was of completely a similar standard in terms of hygiene, courtesy, and technical ability but;
Dr Marek offered treatment that I had not been offered in the UK. The cost was approximately 60% less than it would have been, in my particular case £6,000 instead of £16,000.
I needed six implants 14 crowns and five inlays which was very extensive treatment. I needed to visit Piestany three times staying in a top-class hotel, arranged at a very good discounted rate, (I checked this for myself). I was met at the airport and always transported to and from the hotel and the clinic.
The best comment I can make is that all the gaps in my mouth that I have had to live with for years now have solid teeth and at last I can eat whatever I like.
Before I went well-meaning friends and professionals try to dissuade me; "it's a long way away," "how do you know their standards are the same as ours" none of these concerns proved to have any grounds whatsoever. I won't pretend that I didn't have doubt of my own and I certainly did a great one deal of investigation before I made up my mind but having been there and received the treatment I am now happy to confidently recommend Dental Holiday to anyone who is considering dental treatment and particularly implants."

"My name is Jack Renolds I live in Southampton, England. I am 77 years of age. I started having treatment at Piestany Dental Clinic in February 2005. I had 6 crowns replaced in upper front of mouth and 4 upper implants placed at the same time. I have just returned in August 2005 and had that work completed.
I now have a full upper set of teeth. Originally I was going to have a bridge made and fitted for my lower missing teeth Dr. Marek explained that my bone structure was good and he could make a better job with 4 lower implants. I agreed and have had 4 lower implants placed. I am returning in December 2005 to have these 4 lower implants completed so I will have a full set of teeth for Christmas.
The drivers collect you from the airport, take you to the Hotel and take you to and from the surgery, they look after you very well, they are always very reliable and eager to please.
At my initial consultation with Dr. Marek, everything was explained in great detail. Questions were patiently and clearly answered and any apprehensions I had quickly dissolved. I was told how the treatment would proceed, the timescale and the costs involved.
My wife and I were extremely impressed with the skill and professionalism of Dr. Marek. The staff have always been very friendly, helpful and caring. The surgery and equipment are in pristine condition and the most up to date I have ever seen. Also the cleanest and simply the best. Every stage of treatment was meticulously executed - including colour matching of the implants.
For the whole team:
Thank you so much for giving me a smile to be proud of, I cannot thank you enough. Your manner and patience throughout cannot be faulted. My family cannot believe that my teeth are implants as they look so natural.
I would recommend you to anyone who is thinking of having dental implants and I would be more than pleased to show them the work you have done.
Once again, thank you. You have made me so happy and given me back my confidence to smile again."
Jack Renolds
"Dear Team,
Hope you are well. I just wanted to thank you for all the help and advise you gave me during my months of treatment. I have achieved what I thought was not possible, to have the nearest thing to my own teeth.
I am very grateful, not only to yourself but also to Dr Marek who without his expertise this would not have been possible. I wondered if you could pass on my thanks to him and also to the lady dentist (whose name unfortunately I cannot remember) who made such a wonderful job of whitening and refilling my bottom teeth.
Once again many thanks to you all.
Julie Brakken
"Dear Dr. Marek,
Just a quick note to say thank you very much for the treatment last week. I am so glad I had my implants done by such an experienced and professional dentist like you.
The service you and your partners provide is excellent (great hotel, great driver, great dentistry). I shall certainly be recommending you to others.
Look forward to seeing you in a few months time"

"...I saved over £2000 getting both necessary and purely cosmetic work done and that included 2 weekends in the lovely town of Piestany (including flights).
The car service they run picks you up from the airport and takes you to Piestany and a luxurious hotel which apart from well appointed large rooms has excellent spa facilities.
If you decided to go for any of the treatments which include mud packing and several kinds of massage you can ask the dental team to make a booking in advance. The pools and spa baths are great and are open from early in the morning till 9pm at night.
The breakfast is included in the room price and consists of a well stocked breakfast bar of hot and cold savouries, pastries, fruit and cereals. Room service is excellent and the food is cheap. It is very nice to sit out on the balcony and watch the river flow by drinking your first coffee of the day.
The hotel will take most currency but its better value if you pay in Slovak crowns. The exchange rate is very favourable.
Piestany is a wonderful town to visit and there is plenty for adults and children alike to keep you busy for 1 or even 2 weeks. On the whole people are very helpful although very little English is spoken.
The dentist I saw was Dr Marek and he has the most impressive surgery I have ever seen. The whole process was quick, almost painless and extremely efficient. I have never seen anything like it in the UK and I am extremely pleased with the results of the work he has done.
For anyone who is looking to save money for work needed and is prepared to travel to do that I cannot recommend Dental Holiday and their dentists highly enough."

"I just wanted to write to you and everyone and tell you that my new teeth are a big hit here at home - despite my massive anxieties before travelling to your clinic, everything is better than fine - it is magnificent.
Again, thank you so much for everything that you did, and thank everyone for me."
Joanna Homely
"Just been back a week now from Slovakia and want to go on record to say what wonderful work you all do.
When I first explored the possibility of travelling abroad from England to get the bridgework done, there were a couple of other companies who were getting a lot of name checks in the press and featuring prominently in net searches, but I thank the day I happened upon Dental Holiday.
From my initial enquiry, Daniel Shaw dealt with everything in a speedy, efficient manner and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. I passed my sister on to you… and she too marvelled at the quality of service.
dentists abroad do bleaching and bridgework. They take care of you in central Europe. ceramic crowns are certified in our dental clinic where cosmetic dentistry is done by qualified dentists and hygienists. Eastern Europe is well-know for its high-quality standards of dentistry in countries such as the Czech republic, Hungary and Poland.

No.1 Private Dental
Clinic & Spa Service
The hotel was fine, lovely and warm, and most of all wonderful spa facilities, much of it included in the very competitive rate organised by yourselves.
My treatment (8 unit bridge) required 3 visits to the clinic, one for 2 hrs, the other two were a matter of minutes.
We could not have been in better hands. The clinic surpasses any I've visited here at home. My work was carried out by Dr Marek, a lovely dentist, who seems to have the ability to reassure and encourage calm in his patients and kept me posted as to what was going on.
I am absolutely delighted with the end result. The wonderful thing is how natural they look, this was something Dr. Marek seemed to have as a real priority and appreciates we don't all want Hollywood smiles! Goodbye Fixadent and Steradent!
Piestany Dental Clinic price was 1/3 of the English price and and you'll still save money while visiting this jewel of a town, steeped in history but bursting through into a new Europe. I would not hesitate to recommend the whole package to anyone looking for quality dental work.
Feel free to use my contact details if anybody wants a reference. You might even notice a surge of interest from here in Ireland where the prices are at least UK plus a third! I'm certainly spreading the word. Dakujem! (means: Thank you)"
