Temporary Crown 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.

Treatment was Excellent in every way. No need for painkillers after the implant operation.

I was recommended in my home country to undertake an all-in-six treatment. I happened to discuss the recommendation with a friend (Thomas S) who undertook this same treatment with Smart Dental in Andalusia a few months back. I would say that I am a conservative person and that I wouldn't instinctively do dental work abroad. I must admit I was very curious by my friend's feedback. I looked a few other clinics in Benalmadena. I'm not sure why I did this. I think I was naturally attracted by fancy deals and low prices. I had calls with a few clinics and was pressured to make quick decisions, that the deals wouldn't last, that I would lose all my teeth etc.. I just started losing confidence and trust, especially as I wasn't keen on doing dental abroad. My wife inquired on my behalf to gather initial information on the procedure steps and scheduled a call with the clinic director and surgeon. I must say that I had an excellent first impression. Mrs. diana, Mrs. Carmen and Dr. Felix clearly explained all the steps in details and what to expect. I was particularly impressed by how supportive, comforting and understanding the team was.so we decided to head to Spain... I still took the opportunity in Benalmadena to shop around for other dental clinics (again..not sure why). To be honest, I wasn't that impressed with the other local clinics, but it was still good to inquire and kept an open mind. I went ahead with my appointment to Smart Dental. The clinic is modern and clean. The team was organised, welcoming and very attentive in all my appointments. What was particularly interesting is that Smart Dental was the ONLY clinic offering warranty on the surgery, whereas other clinics that I checked only provided warranty on the implants. The clinic team was very clear and transparent at the cost structure, the procedure and material used which made me feel at ease. Understanding how "too good to be true offers" was an eye opener to me and my wife. Dr Felix was extremely professional. The process was completed without any delays or complications. I cannot tell you how happy I am. The only downside I guess what I had difficulty parking and made nervous about being late for my appointments, but on the other hand parking is always challenging. PS: I hope you enjoyed the gift basket that I have sent to team to say thanks!

Dr. Estefanía Porras is simply amazing! From the first moment, she made me feel comfortable and listened to all my concerns. Her attention to detail and personalised approach really make a difference. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and kind professional. Thank you very much!

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.
