Nicosia Dental Polyclinic (14)
Dental Clinic, Cyprus

After years of problems and neglect, my upper teeth were a mess. Then one day I chipped one of my front teeth which left a gaping hole
and it was then that I decided to do something about the state of my teeth. I did not have a dentist in the UK and had not seen one for
5 years but I knew the type of treatment I required would be very expensive, so I decided to research treatment abroad on the
internet. Straight away I was confronted with Turkey, Cyprus, Germany, Bulgaria and many other countries offering cheaper treatment,
where should I go? I did not want a disaster that would make things worse and cost more money. So I did more research around the
standard of treatment and found that Cyprus had standards as good, if not better than the UK. I then looked for a dentist and found the
Nicosia Dental Polyclinic to be offering implants good enough to have a ten year guarantee. The Braemark implants are the best in the
industry and so I decided these were the implants I wanted. I emailed the clinic with pictures of my teeth and they came back to me to
say I required 5 implants. I then booked a week in Cyprus and went to meet Doctor Marios. Dr Marios talked me through his experience,
showed me his qualifications and talked me through the treatment process. I was very happy that the treatment would be of a high
standard and went back a couple of days later to have the implants. The work took about 2 hours putting the implants in and Dr Marios
talked me through the process as he worked. I was also given  tv glasses so I could watch a documentary of choice while the work was
carried out to occupy my mind. When finished I was given a tempory denture to cover the gaps. I did suffer mild bleeding and pain during
the night post operation but suffered very little bruising and soreness that I have read is common with this type of treatment, I am
told this is because the work was done quickly by Dr Marios. The Implants take at least 3 months to settle so I went back 6 months later
to have the the crowns and veneers put on. Two more visits and I was now confident to smile again, for the first time in a number of
years. I had a couple of fillings and an hour of hygienist work during my visits and everyone at the clinic is very friendly and
professional toward myself and my family. I would highly recommend this clinic.

Incredible results and top-quality dental care, much better than what I have experienced at leading clinics in Sydney, Dubai and other
parts of Europe. All staff are highly skilled in different fields of dentistry and work well as a team. I had a complicated case that
required concurrent cooperation between a maxillofacial surgeon and implantologist. Before I came to Dr Taramides, I had been rejected
by five dental surgeons in Nicosia. Dr Taramides was willing to help, and I am delighted with the result. The whole experience was
positive. Everything is done at one place, at a fair price, and the new tooth looks impeccable.

From start to finish, the quality of care that I received from Nicosia Polyclinic was of an extremely high standard. From booking
appointments to final treatment. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Marios Taramides to anyone. His English was perfect, as
was all of the staff at the clinic, so I had no problems communicating with them. Very good value for money compared to UK prices even
taking into account the cost of flights which I arranged myself. As promised, I have now got a million dollar smile!

For the last few years I have suffered from peridontitus. I knew this would mean that eventually I would need either dentures or
implants. I didn't want dentures!! So in December of 2006 I decided to research all my options. Such options took me on a journey
visiting a local private English dentist, then to visit a dentist in Poland and then a dentist in mainland Spain. To say I was confused
about the treatment suggested, was an understatement. Not to mention the difference in prices! I was completely overwhelmed by it
all. I do remember though, reading an article some time ago (last year) in the Sunday Telegraph newspaper about a dental surgery in
Cyprus, The Nicosia Dental Polyclinic (http://www.dentalcyprus.com) and so I decided to look into this. There followed some email
correspondence between myself and Dr Marios Taramides. I was very impressed with their initial service, consisting of several emails and
a phone call. Marios was very approachable, understanding and professional with me - he spoke perfect English too! and so I booked my
first appointment in June last year (2007) My treatment took 3 visits to Cyprus (8 days, 2 days and 10 days). I had 5 implants and 2
veneers fitted at half the price quoted to me in the UK. The practice was fantastic with all the latest equipment and the staff very
friendly. As for the treatment I can honestly say I never felt a thing - I was expecting the procedure to be painful, but it wasn't,
even now some 12 months later I still can't believe my good fortune in finding Marios - he is an absolute gem. I spent 6 months
researching this and visited 3 different dentists in 3 countries none of them could compare or meet the very high standards set by the
Nicosia Dental Polyclinic. The whole process was relaxed and I had a fantastic holiday too! and the results are superb. I would highly
recommend this practice to anyone considering dental surgery abroad

From the very start when we were looking for somewhere to do an implant they made me feel comfortable with their approach and obvious
professionalism. It did not take long to make my choice. This was especially important residing in a foreign country to what you are
used to. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, the treatment I recieved and the result of my implant. The surgery and reception are
exemplary and my girlfriend who is a dental nurse was also very impressed.

When my wife Cyndy and I were informed by our Dentist in Oxfordshire that we both had periodontal gum decease and a number of our teeth
will have to be extracted and replaced by implants, as well as the replacement of our existing crowns, we were so shocked at the prices
we were quoted, we decided to seek a second opinion. We sent an email to Dr Marios Taramides and asked him, if he could help us obtain
the below listed information in order for us to assess whether our journey to Cyprus was worth undertaking. These were:- A) The
equipment and dental material used at the Dental Polyclinic and the qualification and training of the Periodontal Dental Surgeon. B)
Prices competitive enough to consider travelling abroad to have our treatment. We obtained the answer of item A) by phoning Dr
Taramides directly and we were satisfied with the answers he has provided us. We therefore decided to proceed and provide him all
necessary information of our dental health in order to obtain a total package of our treatment with reference to item B). After quite a
lot of correspondence, all necessary appointments and a total package; we decided to go to Cyprus for our treatment as well as having
our holidays there at the same time. We made our appointments in advance so that we could start our treatment as soon as we arrived
there. What a lovely surprise we had when entering the Dental Polyclinic. It was modern, clean and very welcoming. Everyone was
professional, friendly and highly skilled. I had six implants, two crowns including all necessary periodontal treatment work at a fixed
price of GB£6,600 against a UK price of GB£12,960. My wife Cyndy had six venners, ten crowns and
an implant at a total cost of GB£5,320 against a UK price of GB£9,980. The two journeys we made to
Cyprus including our holidays cost us GB£4,100. It is worth mentioning that the implant brand you get at the
Polyclinic is the famous Branemark system, which is the most sophisticated system in the market and gives the patients a 10 year written
guarantee. The porcelain veneers and crowns are also of top quality and are manufactured in Sweden. Also all Dental equipment and
apparatus are of the latest design and technology from top German manufacturing companies. The treatment was very quick and pain free
and the appearence which it has made to both of us is amazing. We are both thrilled with the professionalism and cleanliness of the
Polyclinic, including the staff, nurses and everone who was involved with both our treatments. They also treat you like a person and not
like a number whose money is more important to them than your welfare. We would definately recommend the Nicosia Dental Polyclinic to
anyone who is seeking expert dental work.

I was a worst case scenario with the loss of upper teeth and a partial denture in the lower jaw. My few remaining teeth were in a bad
way and the gums were receding. Dr Taramides gave me implants in both jaws which resulted in a complete set of porcelain teeth which
fitted perfectly straight away. He chose a very good colour which was just right for my age and complexion. He took my case on when
other dentists had said I would need a bone graft in the upper jaw. I took the chance because he was so confident he could do it without
the graft. they are permanently implanted means I will have no more problems!!

After suffering a heart attack two years ago my UK Dentist informed me that I had peridontal disease which was accelerated by the
trauma. I have lost 4 teeth up to now and have another 2 which are loose. I couldn't live with a denture so was referred to a UK
Specialist who recommended 2 implants and a possible bridge or 4 implants. The quoted cost which increased each time I consulted the
Practice encouraged me to look further afield. Having visited Cyprus many times over the past 15 years I decided to look there and was
so fortunate to find Dr. Marios. From the moment I completed the enquiry form the help, advice and service from all at the Nicosia
Dental Polyclinic has been exemplary. All the arrangements were completed via email and freephone for my visit to see Dr. Marios in May
when I had 2 implants fitted. He liaised with my National Health Cardiologist here in the UK to confirm my fitness to have the treatment
and to check any conflicts with my prescribed medication. I was extremely nervous about the procedure but can honestly say I never felt
a thing, not even the injections to numb the area - the whole procedure was completed in 20 minutes. Dr. Marios gave me some pain
relieving tablets should they be necessary, his mobile number with permission to ring at any time but this wasn't necessary because he
rang me at the hotel to check everything was OK. I occasionally felt a dull ache for a couple of days but nothing to stop me enjoying my
holiday in beautiful Cyprus, absolutely amazing. The main concern in my case was the amount of bleeding or bruising but not a drop of
blood was shed and no bruising occurred. I will go back to have my teeth loaded in September when it will be cooler and I have decided
to have 2 more implants on the other side plus 6 veneers to my front teeth. I will update you when all my work is complete but all I can
say for now is "THANK YOU DR. MARIOS AND YOUR TEAM"

My friend recommended Dr Marios Taramides after she had started a course of treatment for implants and veneers. I was able to discuss my
problems by email with the clinic and was asked to email photographs of my smile. They were able to recommend treatment and to quote a
price. I went out to Cyprus in October 2008 and my treatment started. A cyst was discovered when a loose tooth was extracted and Dr
Marios was able to deal with this problem including stitching my gum. The space was prepared for an implant of two teeth and I was asked
to return in three months. Incidentally we swam in the warm sea everyday and enjoyed the holiday. I returned to the clinic this month,
February 2009, and my treatment was completed. He had advised me against implants for the back lower jaw as teeth had been missing for
too long and my jaw bone was not strong enough for implants. Consequently he created "hanging" teeth at each side of existing teeth
instead of implants for that area. My second visit consisted of three appointments during a period of 10 days. We also took advantage of
a great holiday hotel deal. The professional way you are treated at the clinic gives you confidence. I used this clinic initially to
save money compared with UK dentistry but now I know I also received the highest possible quality of product and treatment. I recommend
The Nicosia Dental Polycinic to you.
