I spent a good 3 months researching the various dental costs and reviews around the world, from USA, Thailand, India and the whole of
Europe. I stumbled upon Dental Holiday, after reading the many reviews, I emailed them with my enquiry, with several pictures I took
attached, within a very short time, they responded, not with just great efficiency but a detailed quote and alternative options for me
to consider. I soon made my appointment for my free consultation.
Upon arriving at the Piestany Dental Holiday Clinic, I was most
impressed with the clinic and the team of Dr Marek. The clinic was immaculate and the welcome was very warm and friendly, even with the
offer of tea/coffee, I don't think I have ever been to a dentist that also offer great hospitality as well as a great service. The
waiting area had 3 cream leather sofas, beautifully decorated, flat screen tv to the wall, a laptop for the use of patients, which kept
my 12 year old entertained through the whole time.. All the team spoke good and fluent English, so there were no communication problems
and put myself to shame as I probably didnt even know the term for good morning in their language.
Within minutes of arrival I was
taken for my Xray, once again, everything looked new, modern and immaculate, state of the art technology.
Once the Xray was given to Dr
Marek, he called me in and perfomed the FREE consultation, he was very friendly but with a professional manner, explained to me what
treatment I needed and why, in my head I had already convinced myself I needed 16 crowns, yet he suggested 10 crowns and 6 composite
fillings, I made it 8 by asking for 2 old ones to be replaced.
My husband was bought in to review the photos that Dr Marek had also
taken, since my husband was contributing to the cost, Dr Marek reiterated the cost and treatment, so he also knew what he was
financially supporting.
Upon receiving my quote, we instantly agreed to go ahead with the treatment, and within moments i was eagerly
back in the chair with excitement on my way to a new smile.
Dr Marek, gave me mutiple injections and performed his work with precision
and no pain, 2/3 hrs, I left the clinic with temporary crowns, which looked so good, I would have believed to look just like the
Zirconia Crowns, i was expecting to have fitted in the next 3 days. This took place on the 25 October 2010 and my next appointment for
fitting was on the Thursday 28th October 2010, from the time scale alone this proves just how efficient Dr Marek and his team really
are.
Inbetween visits, the clinic also offer you a mobile phone, they will contact you inbetween appointments and keep you updated,
such a great service.
28th Oct 10 - arrived at the Clinic, once again, such a friendly greeting. My first couple of hours was with
Roberto, he and his assistant, did all my composite fillings on my lower teeth, (total of 8), no pain with the injections or the work
that took place, both were very friendly and sailed through the treatment feeling very much at ease.
To give myself a break, it was not
10am, am not due to have the fitting of Crowns until 11.30am, am not a clothes shopper, but walked into the Town at the end of the road,
and came back with some new outfits to complete my new smile (Extreme makeover), a nice Town and area, with lots of things to see and do
and also the if you are going to book a few days there as we did, I would recommend the 4* Grand Sergijo Hotel, beautiful, quaint hotel
and the service was outstanding, this hotel is fabulous if you are booking your appointment independently as I did, however, the offer
was made by the clinic to book our accomodation, offer of spa treatments and transfers to and from Bratislava, which I may take up on my
next visit, if I am to travel alone.
11.30 am, back at the dental clinic, very excited now to have the crowns fitted.
2 hours later,
once again after multiple painfree injections and such care and precision was taken with the fitting of my crowns, I can not rave enough
about the whole experience, they certainly chose the correct name for the company "DENTAL HOLIDAY"
I left the clinic with a radiant new
smile, feeling like a completely new person, this trip has restored the confidence I lost over the years, I am hoping in time that my
frown lines are less noticeable due my smile creases proving more evident, since I can clearly not stop smiling now. Dr Marek and his
team have performed a fantastic job, one that I could not afford in the UK, the cost of the treatment in the UK was going to cost me in
the region of £7000-£7500, Dr Marek and his team maintained all my treatment for the sum of
£3,426, which was over a 50% saving of the UK quotes.
I would also like to give Daniel Coulton Shaw, the manager a
big thank you, anytime I contacted the clinic he was very professional and friendly when dealing with my enquiries, prior to my visit
and also for contacting me on my return to see how I was since my visit.
A big thank you to Monika, whom also did a great job, from
emailing and keeping me informed, to a lovely welcome and instantly putting me at ease on arrival.
A huge thank you to Dr Marek,
Roberto and all the team, that performed outstanding treatment.
