In August 2010 I had to visit my dentist in the UK as I was having problems with my lower 7th molar. I was told I needed root canal
treatment but because of the position of the tooth had to see a specialist which would cost me £600 for the privalige, not to
mention the £200 for the crown.
I went away to think about it as £800 was a lot of money to spend on one tooth
especially as there was no guarantee that the tooth would be saved. I had also lost three molars on the other side of my mouth so it was
extremely important to me that I was making the right decision.
When talking to a work colleague about my dilemma she suggested looking
at Dental Holiday in Slovakia as she had researched it a few years earlier and two of her family members had received treatment and were
happy with the outcome.
I searched the internet and found the website extremely informative. I sent an e-mail and received a friendly
quick response from Daniel with a estimate of costs for three alternative treatments, including dental implants.
Once I had made the
decision to take the trip out everything was very easy and I booked the flights within one week. I could have saved quite a bit of money
if I could have planned it in advance but as I was in pain I had no choice.
All correspondence I received was clear and concise and
Phil was there to meet me and my mother at the airport to take us to our accomodation which was arranged by the clinic. We were given a
mobile phone to use during our stay and accomodation was reasonable.
When we arrived at the clinic, it was spotless and modern. The
staff were extremely friendly and spoke excellent english which immediately put us at ease. Dr Marek was excellent and the consulation
was quick and treatment was explained. I was given some time to think about the treatment option I wanted to take over a leisurely cup
of tea and the treatment and once I had decided treatment started almost immediately.
I had a root canal and in the afternoon I went
back to have the first procedure for two implants and a bridge. I stayed over an visited the clinic the following day for a check
up.
On my return, I booked my flights in advance and only paid £50 return for both trips. I went back in December to finish off
my treatment (and a nice white filling on another tooth). All in all I am very very happy with my new teeth and now getting used to
eating on both sides.
I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to the clinic in fact, my mum is going back to have treatment
in the spring.
Dr Marek and the team are fantastic
