This indicates our firm commitment to providing comprehensive and knowledgeable treatment and care, from your initial inquiry about dental implants to the days, weeks, and months post-procedure.
Here’s what our devoted dental implant aftercare program has in store for you:
Dental Implant Procedure Day
We will provide you with comprehensive post-surgery care guidelines on caring for your mouth and new teeth in the days after the operation to facilitate a swift recovery. These instructions will guide you through different stages post-surgery and include steps to take in case of complications. However, serious problems are seldom encountered, and we’re always available to assist you.
We’ll also offer advice on initially suitable food choices and how to gradually incorporate different foods into your diet. Generally, you should be able to consume anything easily cut with a fork immediately after receiving your new fixed teeth.
Approximately 12-14 Weeks Post Dental Implant Surgery (For Smile Complete & Smile Premium)
We will fit your final bridgework or crowns around 12 to 14 weeks following your procedure. This period allows the implants to merge with your mouth and heal completely. Subsequently, our expert dental implant technicians design the final permanent bridgework. Utilizing the latest technological advancements, the bridgework is hand-finished by our master dental technicians in our in-house lab and fitted during this appointment. The final bridgework is reinforced, slimmer, and more aesthetically pleasing than the temporary teeth fitted during your initial visit.
During this visit, you will receive an After Care Kit, complete with a detailed demonstration of using the included items, such as the electric toothbrush, flossing brushes, Dental Implant Care manual, etc.
Scheduled Check-Ups
We will recommend the frequency of your routine dental implant check-up appointments. This can be done locally with your dentist or a local clinic, or you can come out to us again if you prefer. During these sessions should verify the following:
- The stability and proper integration of the dental implants with your jawbone
- No signs of wear and tear on the bridgework/crowns
- The health of supporting structures, including soft tissue levels and jawbone
- The completion of both extra and intra-oral examinations, which may include x-rays if necessary
- The microscopic evaluation of your bridgework/crowns in our on-site lab, as needed, ensures a consistently excellent fit.
- A record of your medical history and discussion of any concerns since your last visit
- The performance of oral cancer screening
- The capture of necessary X-rays to assess the health of the jawbone around the implants and provide reports based on X-ray results
- The cleaning of implant interfaces and underneath the bridgework/crowns using an air polisher
- The removal of any stains from the bridges, if required
- The inspection and replacement of any missing access covers
- The tightening or replacement of screws in the bridge, if required
- Advice on oral hygiene practices for home care regimes to maintain the health of the implants, soft tissue, and bridgework/crowns
Kindly be aware that bridges are only removed when considered clinically necessary. If your oral hygiene requires the removal of bridgework, you may need to schedule a separate appointment that incurs charges.
What our dental implant patients are saying about us…
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
