Ken needed a full lower jaw replacement, and Dr.Marek inserted 5 dental implant into his lower jaw and 12 tooth fixed implant bridge  on top of that – no bone graft was needed.

Ken, Dr. Marek and Natalia

Good customer care, before, during and ongoing. Even including nuisance and costly travel, the entire cost is reasonable and competitive.

Janet came from all the way up in northern Scotland this November to finish her dental treatment done abroad with us at Dental Holiday in Slovakia.

She had a new porcelain bridge made for her upper front teeth, as her old NHS bridge was slowing giving way as the roots had failed, so a couple of dental implants were used to support the new bridgework.

In her hand written testimonial she rates us 10+++ out of 10

I had implants & crowns placed by Dr. Marek. From the outset I had nothing to fear and would recommend anyone who has been struggling for years with ongoing dental problems to come here where all the anxiety / financial costs are taken away. All the staff look after your physical / emotional needs as well as excellent aftercare.

Rosaleen with her new implant crowns

Unfortunately Rosaleen was missing most of her upper teeth, and she didn’t want to wear removable dentures, to save herself from the dreaded “saggy look” that you get when your jawbone receeds from tooth loss.

So she chose to come over confidently to us at Dental Holiday in Slovakia to have the best dental implants done as a cheaper alternative to the limited, more expensive options available to her locally in the UK.

She had 6 dental implants placed and 12 unit non-removable bridge fitted over her dental implants. She also needed 2 small bone grafts surgeries , and a sinus lift procedure.

All she needed was 3 short visits with us at Dental Holiday to complete her entire dental treatment. An each time she came over she brought her husband along to make a holiday out of it, and after their dental treatment they travelled by train to Prague to celebrate

In her hand written dental review she rates us 10 out of 10 :

All I can say is what ever treatment they need – this is the place. Never been as happy with my treatment – out of this world.
Ten out of Ten can not say enough good things about Dental Holiday.

Hand written Dental Treatment Review

Alan visited Dental Holiday in Slovakia to fix his his upper bridge recently.

We placed 2 dental implants for him together with a 3 unit special implant bridge. And for the dental implant healing period, a temporary bridge was provided free of charge.

Here’s his 10/10 hand-written dental review :

They are very professional, will take very good care of you and most importantly do a great job on your teeth! I had a bridge of 3 teeth on 2 implants and I am delighted. Also much cheaper than in the UK. Enjoy your dental holiday.

Aiden visited Dental Holiday in September 2012,  missing his back teeth and because of that he had severe problems with his front teeth as well.

To solve this and recreate his smile, Dr. Marek placed 6 dental implants for Aiden and then 6 special implant crowns.  3 one day visits was all that was needed with Dental Holiday and his dental treatment was finished within 2 months.

In his dental review he rates us 10 out of 10

Since developing severe dental problem at a very young age, I have had the opportunity to visit many diferent dentists. I have never been to a dental clinic as fantastic as a Dental Holiday.

The people are so nice its unbelievable, and the dental work is far more advanced – and artistic – than previous dental treatment in the UK

The post Never seen anything as fantastic as Dental Holiday appeared first on Dental Treatment Abroad.

Having discussed this many times in recent months, I’ve noticed that there are six fundamental points that I would consider when choosing a dental implantology clinic abroad:

1. The Implantologist

Ask how many dental implants your chosen implantologist has placed. For comparison, our implantologist Dr Marek Salka has successfully placed over 2000 during the 7 years that our clinic has been running.

2. The brand of dental implant used

Ask which dental implant brand is being used in jaw, how long they have been manufactured and their track record. For comparison, Dr Marek Salka uses Ankylos and Straumann implants for the following reasons:

• Dental Implant Ankylos: For it’s TissueCare Concept (bacteria proof) and attractive long-term success rate for over 25 years, so that we can confidently offer a lifetime dental implant guarantee.
• Dental Implant Straumann: Has roughened surfaces for better osseointegration (joining with the jawbone), enhanced bone-to-implant contact, better bio-mechanical and functional stability.

3. UK Patient Care

Check out the entire dental team and see how experienced and effective they are. For comparison, Dr Marek Salka is assisted by 3 dental nurses, Dr. Robert, an Anaesthesiologist, a patient manager, a receptionist, a professional driver, 5 dental technicians and a clinic manager. You can read more about them all here: the dental team.

What’s even more we provide free airport transfers any time of night or day, arrange local accommodation for you, provide you with a welcome pack and local mobile phone so that you can keep in touch at all times, and to make your Dental Holiday as hassle free as possible.

4. The actual clinic itself

Have a look at real photographs of the where your dental surgery will take place (not photos of other dental clinics stolen from their websites or dental brochures), or even better watch the entire video of the clinic. The technical equipment and the waiting areas of the dental practice. Notice how modern they are. At our Dental Holiday clinic, we provide the very best clinical and non-clinical environments.

• Digital 3D facial CT-scan – one of only 3 such models in the country
• Digital OPG full face x-ray imaging – both you and the Dr. will see the before and after on the surgery screens.
• Digital facial bow monitoring – Arcus Digma
• Digital microscopes for root canal treatment success
• Cerec digital milling machines for use in our one visit smile makeovers
• English TV, magazines, tea / coffee / cooled water, WiFi, smokers balcony
• Easy walking distance to indoor shopping mall, river, spa island, parks, restaurants, bars.

5. The communication

Ask yourself whether the dental clinic takes a genuine interest in you as an individual beforehand. Here at the Dental Holiday clinic, we pride ourselves on “no draft emails” by responding to each case personally and individually as long as it takes to decide if were the right dental clinic for you. If you haven’t already made a quick and easy dental enquiry, now’s the time to do so!

6. The costs involved

Ask yourself whether cheap is good in the area of dental implantology. We don’t offer the cheapest prices or implants here because we believe that the dental treatment cost we charge is fair to all and allows us to do our best work for you.

We believe that a patient undertaking implant treatment has a duty of care to themselves to ask these questions – and we are happy to answer them for you any time, just use the contact form, and we’ll get back to you within 24hrs for sure.

Marie came to us all the way from Australia, choosing our dental clinic in Slovakia our of 100′s of others in Hungary, Poland and Thailand for her cosmetic dental treatment abroad and rated us 10 out of 10 in her handwritten dental treatment review.

This is what she had to say about the visit and what she would tell others:

Anxiety regarding whether I would feel pleased with the result – pain & discomfort – support of the people I would be dealing with & confidence in the whole experience & monetary & personal investment & these were all of my money concerns!

I am thrilled with the result & care given to me. More than I hope for – I had every support & Dr. Marek is a dental artist with amazing skills.
I loved my dental holiday in Piestany in the interim including a trip to Vienna – love the ambience of the town.

I will be making strong recommendation to anyone making any enquiry of my experience as a whole – my
thanks to Marek and Staff!

after dental treatment

Before dental treatment

As you can see from the photos, the short visit to our dental clinic was well worth it!

Although she could have got away with her teeth as they were for many years to come, the cosmetic benefits of having them crowned, gave her a new lease of life, and a more youthful look immediately.

Marie with her new smile

When Marie finally arrived back home, she sent us this email message confirming exactly what we thought:

Good morning to you all.
I am still very happy with my dental work and get a surprise each time I look in the mirror.
Our flight was delayed an hour and it was a long drive home, arrived around 4am. Am off for a morning tea to display my new look.
I might add that it was commented on that I look younger as well.  My face feels fuller with more teeth.I did not realise that my cheeks had sunk in as much until the result now.
I am sorry that my video was not better, I was running 20 mins late from off the boat trip and was rushing and very nervous.  Anyway, thanks to your team and you will receive every recommendation I am in a position to make.
Regards Marie
