White Filling Costa Del Sol

My 30+-year-old 13 tooth bridge had a segment breakaway at the back of my mouth leaving sharp edges and a rotten root exposed. I phoned the clinic expecting to have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment, (as happened with my first choice in Fuengirola, on the recommendation of a friend-of-a-friend). I had a degree of pain but not a lot. After giving a few personal details (for their files, I guess), I explained my problem. They suggested I come in right away to have it seen to. It was late in the day and I couldn't go immediately so they gave me an appointment the very next day. On arrival, I waited 5 or 10 minutes, then was directed to the dentist's chair for an inspection. He told me that the exposed root, at the very back of my mouth, was rotten and beyond repair. It would have to come out. He offered to do it then and there and it would cost me €50. I told him to go ahead with it. It proved very reluctant to come out. It came out in more than one piece, but, he got it out, and then explained a few options for the future for my ageing bridge, and I went on my way a happy man. Delighted to get all 'done-and-dusted' in less than a day from my initial contact. I chose this clinic because it is convenient to where I was staying in El Romeral. There is a huge car parking area about a block away. I was greeted warmly and waited about 5 or 10 minutes for my consultation. I couldn't find fault in any aspect of my experience.

Let me begin by how and why I chose smart dental. It may sound a long review, but I wish I had come across a review like this when I was choosing a clinic aboard for dental implants. I needed a full upper arch and further implants and crowns on the bottom arch. Having had exorbitant quotes in the UK, I researched having treatment aboard. I needed to find a clinic within easy reach and a good holiday destination. I found Smart dental on What Clinic website. The location seemed perfect as did their reviews. It was two and a half hours flight time and 25 mins from the airport to the Clinic by train. Also the hotel Palladium Costa Del Sol seems impressive place to recuperate after surgery, only a short ride by train or taxi. I emailed Smart Dental and within hours I got a reply asking if I would like to have a consultation with Dr Felix that evening, which I agreed to. Dr Felix and Diana spent an hour with me explaining everything about the procedure. I was so impressed I had made up my mind that they were the ones for me. 2 weeks later I booked a day trip to Benalmadena for a consultation with them with no obligation face to face. During this visit any doubts were erased and I put a deposit for treatment to be carried out in the next two months. Meanwhile, I could book my Hotel and flights for the duration of my treatment. I arrived on Sun 11th Sept and in for surgery on Mon. The whole procedure of removal of my teeth and implants 8 screws lasted 2 hours, 6 on top and 2 on the lower. It was unbelievably painless apart from the initial injections and the last couple of stitches. I returned to the hotel and slept for a couple of hours. I felt hardly any pain and wanted to sit by the beach and enjoy a cool drink. The surprise was that, the same evening I forgot to take my painkillers before we went down for diner, obviously that was because I had no pain. I did take painkillers that night before bedtime, but I must add that I did have a relatively good night's sleep. Next morning I had a message from the Clinic asking how I was and whether I could come in the evening to have my temporary new teeth fitted. I was pleased that I didn't have to be without teeth for too long. Next few days I continued to follow instructions and was enjoying my holiday and my new smile all with very little discomfort. A week later I returned to the clinic to have my stitches removed and mouth inspection. Dr Felix was pleased as I was how it was all healing. After enjoying the last few days on holiday, I have now returned home. It's now another 4 months before I have to return to Benalmadena to see Dr Felix and have my permanent teeth fitted. For those who have any worries are doubts about going aboard for such major surgery, just take the plunge as I did and chose Smart Dental. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you all at Smart Dental for such wonderful care and attention you have shown me. I look forward to my return.

I got veneers in my upper and lower jaw (10x2) this summer. The treatment was good and over all, I am very satisfied with the result. Martha is friendly and skilled, and so is her staff. I had pain for quite a while after the treatment, but I have no reason to believe this is due to Martha's work. There were no infections and she was indeed cautious. The clinic is also reasonably priced. I trust Martha and will absolutely recommend and use her again. I trust she will fix any future issue that might occur. Best regards Ole

Very impressed. Seen and treated with great courtesy and professionalism. Procedures and costs explained. I will be retaining Dr Vanessa Narváez and team to treat me going forward. Highly recommended.

This was my first time at a dentist in Spain so I was a little apprehensive. I wanted both a check up and a clean. Everyone was super friendly. The dentist explained the whole process and it was fantastic seeing the photos of my teeth on the big screen. They all spoke English. And the treatment was great value for money. Would 100% recommend this clinic. Thank you, Sonrisa.

Excellent professional consultation at a very reasonable price. If only this clinic were closer to my home I would not go anywhere else, very impressed.
