Periodontist Consultation Spain

We spend part of each winter in Spain, near Mijas Costa. We started using Crooke Dental several years ago when my wife lost part of a filling. They were able to perform a temporary repair but it was obvious that the tooth was not going to last. In the end, we opted for an implant which was done at about half the cost we would have to pay in Canada. In addition, my insurance company paid half. The COVID-19 epidemic put paid to our 'Spanish winter' and this year was the first time back since then. And I bit on something hard in my tapas and I felt my tooth come loose. I immediately called Crooke Dental and they saw me the next day. The dentist was the one I had seen when I was last there (2017). She checked the tooth and it was so loose that it came out with a tug. As before I was impressed by their expertise, their modern equipment, and their wonderful attitude and kindness.

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.

Really happy with my experience here. I'm English and I was looking for an English speaking dentist and I'm happy to say this dentist did everything they said they would. My teeth cleaning was excellent, I feel like a new man. Thank you so much everybody involved,

I had a tooth removed and an abscess treated without antibiotics and very little pain. I healed very quickly. Very impressed🙏🥰

If I could - I would give 6 points! The Nart Dental Clinic with its dentists and staff is by far the most professional, friendly, and empathic team I have come across. I broke one of my incisors ahead of important business meetings. Whilst not a real emergency – it felt very uncomfortable to meet and expose myself in a professional setting. In less than 24 hours – I got an “emergency appointment” and all was fixed within 15 minutes. The result is more than satisfying. In fact, it looks better than before. Thank you!
