Having dental treatment abroad was a scary option but as I was working & living in Malta, I researched the options available.
I was
also recommended the Dental Unit at St James Hospital by several people. When I visited to find out more I was very impressed in the
time I was given by Dr Mark Diacono who explained simply what was needed to deal with my dental problems, how it would be done, the
timescales and I received a very comprehensive quote.
The Unit itself is pleasing to the eye, has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere,
spotlessly clean with the most up-to-date equipment.
My Dental Consultant in the UK is a Consultant/Honorary Senior Lecturer in
Restorative Dentistry (Periodontology) and he liased with Mark Diacono from the Dental Unit in Malta about my condition, sending over my
old X Rays etc. I felt in safe hands knowing that the two of them had the same idea of treatment!
The treatment was long and it was
tough going at times (particularly being on soft baby foods for so long..!) but the Dental Unit gave me all the support I needed and I
could get an appointment at a moment's notice.
Dr Mark S Diacono RGN,BChD Hons(Leeds),FDS RCPS(Glasg) is a
Specialist in Oral
Surgery and he did the initial operations and Nikolai Attard BChD, MSc Prost, PhD did the bridge fit and all the alterations with the
teeth after that.
The whole process was not easy but the Dental Unit made it as easy as possible for me and I am now the proud owner
of a whole new set of upper front teeth, sparkly white and I can eat anything now!
The aftercare has been excellent too, not only
with being shown how to look after them but knowing that I can call at any time if I have a problem.
All the staff have been so
friendly and efficient which made the whole process much easier.
I cannot recommend highly enough The Dental Unit at St James's
Hospital for dental treatment... also it was much cheaper than the quotes that I had from the UK which was also a huge plus! ... if you
come from abroad for treatment in Malta you will also be able to sample the delights of this fabulous island of Malta, it's histories,
its beaches and the lovely friendly Maltesers!
