Before and After
Take a scroll through our many dental implant patient transformations
Abbey’s Journey
Dental Holiday came to Abbey’s attention through her best friend, a dental receptionist, who always praised it as the “gold standard” in dental care.
Abbey had been struggling with a partial denture for the past 18 years – it was the best she could find, but it still didn’t fit quite right. While it did a good job mimicking the look of real teeth, it didn’t function like them. She had to adjust her lifestyle around her denture constantly – she was always anxious about social situations requiring her to remove her denture, such as eating at parties or overnight stays at friends’ places. She was tired of these compromises and started looking for alternatives to false teeth.
During her free clinical assessment at Dental Holiday, she felt truly valued and knew immediately she had found the right place. After her treatment, she was overjoyed with how much easier eating has become – even chewy bagels were no longer a challenge! “I bit into my bagel, and when I pulled away, my teeth weren’t stuck in it!”
Abbey’s only regret is not having undergone the treatment 18 years ago!
So delighted with her treatment, Abbey has already scheduled an appointment for a similar procedure on her upper jaw!
I owe you a lot. Thanks Dr. Marek and the very professional team at the Smiley Clink.
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.
We highly recommend you come to Slovakia and Piestany ..this beautiful relaxing Spa Town ...RyanAir flys into Bratislava from most UK airports...come and see for yourself...the consultation is free!!!
Jeannie and Paul Nolan UK.
My husband had a lot of work done in 2014 by this dentist (Merrick) and was extremely happy so I decided to give it a go.
They have been amazing. They managed the whole process taking away any anxiety.
I had an enormous amount of work, 20 crowns!!!
I am so happy with the outcome and the way they looked after me. I can not recommend them highly enough.
I have been to many dentists in the UK but money was there goal not my health
I can't thank you all enough
I can finally smile and hold a conversion in confidence I would also like to thank Daniel the driver he is a real asset
Just a 2-hour flight from your choice of 7 UK airports…
Multiple past patients claimed that their journey to us was:
“cheaper, quicker and less hassle than getting the train or driving down the M25 and parking in the center of London”
Seven UK airports fly directly to Bratislava or Vienna airport, so you can be with us in a little over 2 hours.
As our valued patient, one of our team members will be waiting at the airport for you, holding their “Dental Holiday” sign. They will walk with you to our dental clinic or have one of our drivers drop you off at your arranged accommodation (depending on when you arrive).
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.
