Dental Implants Explained

Dental implants provide a durable solution for replacing dentures and loose, decayed, missing, or failing teeth, bringing back functionality and boosting confidence. Dental implants have positively impacted the lives of numerous individuals throughout the UK who have experienced tooth loss due to various reasons, commonly disease or injury.

Whether you have a denture or missing/failing teeth, with Dental Holiday, you get a new smile and renewed confidence on the same day.

Dental implants are the fundamental element of a durable remedy for replacing dentures and loose, decayed, absent or failing teeth. In many instances, they can be placed in a single visit to Dental Holiday in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Dental implants are often confused with an entire arch of veneers or crowns or incorrectly called “dental implants” or “tooth screws” instead.

Full mouth reconstruction is also called teeth in a day, same day smile, smile in a day, full jaw dental implants, full mouth dental implants and all-on-four dental implants. This is typically a one-piece, full arch of 10-14 tooth crowns formed into a bridge to secure your new smile to 4 to 6 dental implants per jaw, allowing you to smile, eat, and socialise confidently again.

At Dental Holiday, we specialise in extensive, hybrid and full-arch dental implant cases. A good example is the all-on-four dental implant solution – a precision-engineered full arch of bridgework made from tooth crowns placed across four or six dental implants. Created to assist with the most challenging dental scenarios, the all-on-4 or all-on-6 dental implant procedure presents a one-of-a-kind long-term resolution. It can replace dentures, loose, rotten, missing or failing teeth.

Patient Transformations

Here are a few of our Dental Holiday transformation patients. We only use actual patients in all of our marketing.

Getting your smile back in just one day

Our dental implant procedure enables patients to regain a robust, functioning smile. We do not provide temporary dentures – instead, we create, craft, and install a completely tailor-made, screw-retained fixed arch of teeth exclusively for you.

Our distinctive implant clinic design, patient journey and internal dental labs enable us to complete the treatment, design your new teeth, and fit it all within a single day. This means you can walk out with a brand new ‘smile-in-a-day’.

Here’s a glance at your patient schedule:

Morning

You’ll reach our clinic reception to fill in any necessary documentation and be escorted by your treatment coordinator to our smile lounge, and we’ll ensure your comfort throughout. Following any x-rays or photo documentation that needs to be taken, you’ll proceed to the treatment room, where, under sedation and without discomfort, one of our senior implant surgeons will remove any remaining teeth and install your implants. This process typically takes about 2 hours per jaw.

Afternoon

Post-treatment, you’ll be guided back to your smile lounge to unwind and recuperate. During this period, our lab team, under the guidance of our senior implantologists, will be crafting your unique dental bridgework in our on-site dental lab.

Late afternoon

Later in the afternoon, you’ll return to the treatment room to have your new bridgework fitted by your chairside technician. You’ll leave with your first set of brand-new fixed teeth. And if you opted for Smile Complete or Smile Premium, over the subsequent weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to adjust to your new smile before returning for your final permanent set of teeth.

The advantages of dental implants

There are multiple benefits to having dental implants. For instance, a single tooth implant can seamlessly blend with your other teeth, remaining undetectable.

When opting for dental implants to replace multiple teeth, you can expect these to mirror your existing teeth while providing increased confidence and function.

When you choose Dental Holiday for dental implant treatment abroad, you can enjoy the following advantages:

  • Experience a life-changing solution that allows you to smile confidently and enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions.
  • Restore your ability to eat and enjoy life with a fixed full jaw solution, which mimics natural teeth, enhances facial aesthetics, and maintains a natural face shape.
  • Achieve a comfortable and natural feel with accurately simulated teeth like your own.
  • Benefit from a fully customized smile created in our dental laboratory located on-site.
  • A team of highly experienced and specialised English-speaking implantologists, surgeons, dentists, dental technicians, nurse practitioners, patient coordinators and receptionists – ensuring the highest quality service throughout your patient journey with us and beyond.

What happens when I arrive at Dental Holiday?

If you’re searching for ‘the best dental implant clinic abroad’, specifically for smile-in-a-day or all-on-4 dental implants, your search ends with Dental Holiday. We’ve already discussed the advantages and costs of getting dental implants abroad. But what precedes the actual dental implant surgery abroad?

After your initial discovery call with Dental Holiday, where we determine your likely suitability for full-mouth dental implant treatment overseas, we’ll invite you for a complimentary implant consultation at our clinic to kick-start your treatment journey. If you’ve travelled a significant distance to see us, we can assist you in arranging local lodging.

Upon your arrival at our implant clinic, one of our treatment coordinators will greet you and ask you to fill out a brief medical history form. Next, one of our nurses will conduct a cone beam CT (CBCT) scan and OPG to give our dental implant surgeons a precise image of your teeth and jawbone. Following this, you’ll have a consultation with your English-speaking dental implant surgeon. They will confirm on the spot if you qualify for your chosen dental implant procedure, explain the process, and answer any medical queries about your dental implant treatment.

If you’re not a suitable candidate for your chosen dental implant plan abroad, we’ll suggest alternative treatment options. In our 16 years of operating this dental implant clinic and serving over 13,000+ dental implant patients, it has been rare that we couldn’t provide a dental implant solution.

What can you expect on the day of your dental implant procedure?

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with the smile-in-a-day dental implants! You’ve made a great choice. At Dental Holiday, we aim to make your surgery day as stress-free as possible. As you arrive at our dental clinic early in the morning, we’ll ensure you’re comfortable. You’re welcome to bring a companion for support, and our nurses are readily available to answer any queries.

Shortly after your arrival, we’ll remove any remaining teeth and then install the dental implants. This process is carried out using local anaesthetic and sedation – we offer several sedation options, which will be discussed before your procedure. Following this, we’ll conduct a bite assessment and take impressions, which will be sent to our on-site lab to craft your custom bridgework/crowns while you relax in your private patient suite.

By the end of the day, you’ll have your new smile-in-a-day dental implants. These will stay in place for a few weeks before you return to the clinic for the final placement of your permanent crownwork/crowns. This period allows the implants to integrate with your mouth and heal properly.

Why choose Dental Holiday for your dental implants abroad?

Since 2007, we’ve been restoring smiles with our affordable and reliable services. Over the years, we’ve established ourselves as a trusted name in patient care, industry expertise, and reasonable pricing.

We understand that the cost of dental implants can seem daunting, which is why we’re committed to providing various staged payment options and maintaining affordable rates.

I have to thank the team at the Smiley Clinic for doing a marvelous job in reconstructing my teeth. My teeth are gorges now and the bite is just out of comparison from my previous gum bites with irritated gums. Thank you so much again. You made my eating a complete different experience.I owe you a lot. Thanks Dr. Marek and the very professional team at the Smiley Clink.

Having a complete smile makeover and regaining full use of your teeth is no small deal. It's a HUGE deal and there are lots of clinics which claim to be able to offer this service. I had done extensive research on this procedure and decided to visit three clinics - two in Hungary and Smile Clinic in Slovakia. Both clinics in Hungary said that I had insufficient bone structure and to be honest, gave me no sense of patient care whatsoever.The team in Bratislava, led by Dr Kafka, were completely the opposite. From the moment you are met at the airport by Dano, they made me feel extremely welcome, didn't judge and when Dr Kafka did my initial consultation and explained what he would do, I almost burst into tears (of relief). He gave me an absolute level of confidence straight away and Katarina prepared a treatment plan for me. She also talked me through every step, answered all of my questions and has been my patient coordinator right through to the end.Three months later, I was back in the Bratislava clinic and Dr Kafka did the surgery to remove all of my remaining teeth, perform 2 sinus lifts, undertake gum recontouring and insert 12 implants (6 top and 6 bottom) - plus the fitting of my provisional set of crowns. This surgery is usually done by Dr Marek in Piestany, but due to scheduling, I had it done in Bratislava. Dr Kafka and his team made me feel comfortable at every step of the way and once the injections were done, I felt no pain whatsoever (I only felt sensations and pressure, but definitely no pain).Straight away, I had a set of crowns which were a vast improvement on what I had before and these lasted me until my next two visits in Piestany with Dr Marek, 4 months later. The two visits consisted of creating impressions for the final crowns / arches and then the final fitting and adjustment of the permanent crowns. Once again, Dr Marek and his team gave me utter confidence and made me feel very welcome.Words simply are not enough to describe how happy I was after the final fitting and I cannot thank Dr Kafka, Dr Marek, Katarina, Michaela, Dano and the entire team for everything they have done.To be able to smile again, talk with confidence and eat with ease is TRULY life changing. It is a fraction of the cost of the same procedure in the UK and this kind of work is what they do, day in and day out. If you are even considering this kind of treatment, I would urge you to have a consultation. You will be in extremely safe hands.

I am from the UK and have just completed my treatment with Dr Marek. I have had 2 implants, 5 crowns and 3 fillings to my teeth. I am very happy with the professional treatment and totally recommend the Smile Dental Clinic to anybody. I am happy to discuss my treatment with anybody. I particularly reassure anyone who like me and elderly decided after research to trust the clinic. I am so delighted with the result! I stayed in pleasant accommodation recommended by the clinic. Picked up from airport by Daniel and delivered to the clinic and returned to airport after my treatment was fantastic as I was unfamiliar with the country and language. English is spoken by all staff. Lovely people and totally professional. Thank you to all at Piestany Clinic!

I have been a customer of the clinic since 2009 and the past few years I witnessed how much the team put so much effort to make the experience at the clinic an absolute delight. The level of attention to detail and professionalism is remarkable and the best I have experienced this far. I travel a lot and have a lot of dentistry work done due to my receding gum. I couldn't recommend Daniel, Mark and the rest of the crew enough. You just glide through the process, from the airport pickup, to the hotel and it is a very quick flight from England as well. Price is very affordable as well and you get to have a holiday at the same time in the very traditional SPA town of Piestany.

Just a 2-hour flight from your choice of 5 UK airports…

Multiple past patients claimed that their journey to us was:

“actually cheaper, quicker and less hassle than getting the train or driving down the M25 and parking in the center of London”

Five UK airports fly directly to Bratislava or Vienna airport, so you can be with us any day of the week in a little over 2 hours time.

Once you go through passport control, give us a call, and one of our team will come to meet you holding our “Dental Holiday” sign in the arrivals area and escort you to our clinic premises (5 min walk) or if you arrive during the night, you’ll reach our clinic by taxi the following day from one of the nearby hotels.

We recommend you travel with a family member or friend, which often makes the journey easier. Even if they are not having dental treatment abroad with us, they can still use our free clinic transfer service with you.

Dental Implants FAQs

While general anaesthesia isn’t utilized during tooth extraction and the placement of dental implants, local anaesthesia is employed. If you’re anxious, you can also choose to be sedated. We provide two kinds of sedation:

Oral sedation – this is mixed with water and consumed shortly before the procedure. It can be combined with local anaesthesia.

Intravenous sedation – this is administered through a needle in the arm and used alongside local anaesthesia.

Regardless of your option, you’ll still be able to communicate with the implantologists, facilitating accurate implant placement effectively.

Instead of supplying temporary dentures, we initially equip you with custom-made temporary bridgework. This will be your solution for roughly 12 weeks while your dental implants heal completely. This provisional bridgework is engineered to be comfortable and look natural, enabling you to eat and speak easily during healing.

Once your dental implants have fully healed, we will invite you to our clinic to fit your final, personalized new bridgework. Our dental experts will collaborate with you to devise a tailored treatment plan that caters to your needs and ensures the most favourable outcome.

At Dental Holiday, our commitment lies in delivering superior patient care and treatment. So, if you’re searching for a comfortable and effective answer to missing teeth, we encourage you to arrange a consultation with us to explore your options.
