Surgical Extractions Costa Del Sol

I’d lost a front tooth and it was too expensive to replace in my home country, so I opted for Crooke and Laguna instead of a local dentist. I thought the procedure would cost me 6000 Pounds, but I actually ended up paying 4000. We’re not done with the implants yet, but they’ve drilled through the gum and inserted four rods. The implant sites have been prepared and I’ve got another appointment for 20th of September when we’ll do the crowns. Once the rods are in, there’s a three month waiting period before we can continue the process. So far I’m happy with everything they’ve done. They gave me a list of prices before I left, and told me to take some time to think it over. Inserting the rods was quite painful, but I think the pay off will be worth it. It’s good value for money. The clinic is clean, the staff are both friendly and helpful. There’s a Scottish lady on the team so communication was easy.

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 lovely service, pleasant dentist. Assisted with my pain and sorted my problem out quickly until I can get back to the UK. Would definitely recommend. Thank you, Dr Dodds

Piece of my lower molar broke off while on holiday and remainder of the tooth had sharp edges that caused a lot of damage to my tongue. I was in agony for days before going to meet Dr Sagge and he accommodated me at short notice. Great value, great treatment and very professional, I would recommend to everyone.
