Having had a bad experience in Hungary, I was fortunate enough to find Dental Holiday. They provided an estimate for the work by email and agreed to source the abutments for one implant fitted in Hungary. Natalia and Monica assisted me to find flights and Hotels in the area and the whole caring experience started when I was picked up by Daniel the Driver. The Dental Work by Dr Marek and his…

Team was superb. He really knows what he is doing, He is totally professional and in the preparation for the final crowns, he left nothing to chance with an amazing outcome for me . For the first time in my life I have teeth to be proud of and everyone was surprised at the results. What you are quoted is what you pay, unlike my experience in Hungary. Thank you to all the Dental Team and Nurses too, who were amazing.

I would like to thank Dr Marek and his team for the treatment I received. It took four visits for the treatment to be completed on my upper jaw. There was a lot of work to do, including a sinus lift, bone grafts, implants and crowns. Arrangements were made by the clinic for accommodation during my visits and I was met at the airport each time, which is an excellent idea when you are visiting an…

area you are not familiar with. The treatment I received was excellent and if I get the chance I will be returning to proceed with the lower jaw treatment. I could not have afforded to have this treatment in the UK and the research I carried out before I visited this clinic did pay off. Thanks again.

I thought it would be best to send an email to thank you for the treatment I've had over the years with Smile Clinic. Reason being I am sure my Scottish accent must have been a challenge for you all at times, so I would rather you fully understand what I'd like to say. From my first visit in 2019, when I originally met Daniel Shaw at your clinic in Bratislava. Who kindly and unexpectedly acted…

d as a translator (for my Scottish accent) for my first treatment. To now, the completion of all my treatment in 2025. I have to say everything has been conducted professionally to an exceptionally high standard. My initial discussions with Daniel were for only a few implants and crowns, although I stated to him at the time if I was happy with the work and treatment received, I would be a repeat patient. Well I can now say I kept my word, just as smile clinic kept their promise of first class dental care. From Daniel, Dr Marek in Piestany and Dr Martin in Bratislava, as well as the whole team I have had the pleasure to interact with. I have nothing but the highest praise and appreciation. As a result of choosing smile clinic, I have even fallen in love with Slovakia as an unexpected bonus. A country that is exceptionally beautiful and hasn't been promoted worldwide anywhere near as much as it should be. It's a stunning place with lovely, kind hearted people. All the work and care I have received, has been conducted with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail, more than I could have ever imagined or expected. Smile clinic is credit to all the staff due to the quality of care provided. You have not only been a gift and benefit to the dental industry, but also to Slovakia itself. You chose the perfect location's to open your dental surgeries Daniel and Marek. I researched many places, in various countries, before I chose your dental practice all those years ago. And I can confidently say, I chose the ideal dental practice in a fantastic country. Both locations, Bratislava and Piestany are special in their own right.

After several visits to Smile Clinic Piešťany, I am happy to share my very good experiences with this dental clinic. Perfect organization of work will reduce your waiting time to a minimum, excellent, sensitive and helpful approach both at the reception and in the office are parameters that raise the imaginary "bar of satisfaction of treated patients" really high. I wish the whole team a lot of…

Response from the owner Edited a year agoMr. Milan, thank you very much for your kind review. We are very pleased with your words. We are extremely happy that you were satisfied with us.

Philip Turner via Google 5.0 out of 5
Ten years ago my mouth was a terrible mess and to avoid embarrassment I had to smile without showing my teeth, I couldn't eat a meal quickly and a steak was out of the question! I spent a long time researching many different clinics in several countries and was more concerned with reputation although price was of course an important consideration too. I decided to take advantage of the no…

obligation, free consultation and free transport from the airport offered by the Smile Clinic and booked a cheap flight to Bratislava. After digital X-Rays and a thorough but painless examination I had the options and costs explained to me with no pressure to proceed and I agreed to go ahead and have my few remaining teeth removed and have implants fitted. The cost was somewhere between a third and a half of UK prices. Ten years later I'm still delighted with the result; when I run my tongue along the teeth they feel exactly like real teeth not like the horrid plasticky feel of dentures and I brush them with normal toothpaste twice daily. The whole team are courteous, helpful and professional, the premises are modern and spotless and the equipment is state-of-the-art. Below are the before, after treatment and 10 years later photographs; I'm 72 and the hair's all but gone but the teeth are as good as new. Financially, I've made some costly mistakes on the stock market but this investment was the best I've ever done. Regrets? only that I didn't do it sooner!

I have to thank the team at the Smiley Clinic for doing a marvelous job in reconstructing my teeth. My teeth are gorges now and the bite is just out of comparison from my previous gum bites with irritated gums. Thank you so much again. You made my eating a complete different experience. I owe you a lot. Thanks Dr. Marek and the very professional team at the Smiley Clink.
Sean-Paul Hodges via Google 5.0 out of 5
Having a complete smile makeover and regaining full use of your teeth is no small deal. It's a HUGE deal and there are lots of clinics which claim to be able to offer this service. I had done extensive research on this procedure and decided to visit three clinics - two in Hungary and Smile Clinic in Slovakia. Both clinics in Hungary said that I had insufficient bone structure and to be honest,…

gave me no sense of patient care whatsoever. 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.

with the result! I stayed in pleasant accommodation recommended by the clinic. Picked up from airport by Daniel and delivered to the clinic and returned to airport after my treatment was fantastic as I was unfamiliar with the country and language. English is spoken by all staff. Lovely people and totally professional. Thank you to all at Piestany Clinic!

To give you an idea of just how nervous I was, I had not been to a dentist since I was 24. I am now 47!!!! 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…

After years of pain and suffering I finally plucked up the courage to travel alone to the Clinic and get things sorted. After 3 months of abscesses and needing stronger and stronger antibiotics I knew that even with a severe dental phobia something had to be done. And after thoroughly checking out both the reviews and the credentials of the clinic, Doctors and staff and personal experience of a…

friend who had undergone treatment there, I made my way from my home in Fuerteventura, via Madrid to Slovakia. I arrived the morning of 17th June, picked up by a friendly driver....Dano...and taken straight to the clinic in Piestany. After scans, x-rays and discussions decided to go ahead with full dental implants, sinus lift and bone grafts. I went back to my lovely apartment nearby the clinic, walking distance in fact, and freshened up and before I could develop any nerves or excuses was on my way back to the clinic to have the upper teeth sorted. I chose to have IV sedation which means that I really do not remember much about the experience. I just came to and it was all done! Went back to my apartment, then went for a walk and got some soups from the nearby supermarket. Slept and had no real pain at all, little bleeding or swelling that night. Next day back to the clinic to have the lower teeth sorted. Same again, do not remember much at all, in fact not one unpleasant memory from the whole experience which is so different to all of my other dental experiences. After the second treatment I thought I would be swollen and sore, but again minimal discomfort and swelling. If you did not know me you would not know I had had anything done. I was out early the next morning for a walk in the beautiful Spa island. I took several photos and some of my self. So you can see how things are just the next morning after both upper and lower jaws done. I had one last appointment that day to make sure everything was in place and all was, and I returned home the next day with instructions how to care for the temporary teeth, which I am delighted with, having lived for years with painful, brown teeth with many gaps including gaps in the front teeth! I have had no pain or complications since getting home. I am following the instructions of good dental hygiene and a soft diet. Not a penance as not been able to eat anything but a soft diet for years...and at least now I have no pain at all and I can smile and not frighten people off! Already this has changed my life and of course when I have let the implants heal and the bone grow around them, I will be returning to have impressions and my final lovely permanent crowns put in. And then can begin a normal diet for the first time in decades. I cannot thank the clinic and all the staff for their professional, painless and friendly treatment from the first email to having treatment. I am actually looking forward to going back and having the next and final stage of my dental treatment done. Now that is something I can honestly say I have never felt about any dental treatment in my whole life. My confidence is already 100% improved and I am now looking forward to the future, not dreading it. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!

I couldn't recommend Daniel, Mark…

and the rest of the crew enough. You just glide through the process, from the airport pickup, to the hotel and it is a very quick flight from England as well. Price is very affordable as well and you get to have a holiday at the same time in the very traditional SPA town of Piestany.

Thank you Kelvin for your kind & detailed review - it was a pleasure to meet you again and catch up after all those years! Enjoy the rest of your "retreat" and may you arrive back home with more than a completed smile ;-) All the best!

Back for the second yearly checkup after having a severe amount of work done. Implants and crowns. It removes the stress out of going to the dentist. It's just incredible. Not only is the treatment amazing but the level of care shown by the staff is amazing. From booking an appointment via email, to being picked up at the airport with minimum fuss. They arranged my accomodation for me at a very…

Dreadful company. You will be given a price then when you arrive that price will double. Do not believe a word they say. They will baffle you with science then try to extort extra money. And if you dare to complain you will be ignored.

I have recently had unrelated work done at a clinic in the UK which turned out great, on the way out the dentist asked me if I could leave him a Google review which I obliged. 12 years ago in 2008. I took the plunge to get my top 6 teeth done at this wonderful clinic and left a long detailed review on TripAdvisor only realising afterwards it didn't go through for some reason. Well it's about…

ut time I left one. I did a bit of research before opting to use this clinic. The service was excellent all the way through. Back then I was picked up/dropped off at the airport, given a phone, wonderful accommodation and excellent service from all the staff throughout my two trips Piestany. I had 6 ceramic crowns by Dr Marek that look great and have never caused any problem at all. No one would even know I had work done unless I told them. Which I do as I'm proud of the wonderful work he has done. So finally to thanks Dr Marek and the wonderful team at Piestany Dental Clinic. Only 12 years late.

Wow John! That's so wonderful that you took the time to leave a review for us even after so long. We've come a long way since 2008, as I'm sure you have too, and I trust that you're keeping well. Both Dr. Marek and I (Daniel) still run the clinic in Piestany as well as a new one that we opened in Bratislava about 5 years back. Of course we're over the moon to hear that the crowns are still holding up well, and once again thank you for your kindness.
