Dental treatment in Croatia

Having been told by her dentist in London that nothing could be done about a sensitive tooth following root-canal by a Harley Street dentist, Johanna of London went in search of a UK dentist for her treatment.

"The dentist told me my tooth would need to be replaced by an implant and then a new bridge. He even thought it might need 2 implants but one with augmentation. The prices quoted gave me a shock to say the least. I was looking at a sum close to £5000,00 and that did not even include the bridge."

Johanna saw a BBC report into dentristy abroad and then went to the Internet to conduct her own research. She found Treatment Abroad and filled in a dental enquiry form. "Dr. Goran's clinic got in touch with me. I was given a few references and even spoke to a couple of his patients and they were all full of praise. A friend of mine, who needed major dental work done, was going to Croatia for holidays and I gave her Trident's  address to check it out."

Johanna's friend was very impressed and decided there and then to book herself in for treatment. "That made me decide to follow suit and I have just come back from Rovinj where I underwent treatment done by Dr. Goran and Dr. Natasa."

During consultation  Dr. Goran advised against implants but suggested  re-doing root-canal treatment, cleaning out "pockets", and replacing the bridge. To improve on sensitivity, he suggested changing the bridge on the bottom jaw so as to "cushion" the bite.

"I am having three crowns on the bottom left jaw replaced with a bridge. When I asked him why he did not advise me to have implants, his answer made sense: 'Why put in a foreign body when not necessary?'.

"In the past I have had very expensive dental treatment done in Singapore and London with far less confidence and satisfaction than in this instance. I cannot overstate my satisfaction and am "almost" looking forward to my follow-up treatment in January 2008!!"

Johanna was in Rovinj for 5 days and visited the clinic every day for treatments, but there was still plenty of time to get to know the idyllic town. She felt well looked after, from the moment of pick-up at the airport to the stay in the apartment. The beach is a mere 5 minutes' walk and the clinic no further than 10 minutes away.

"Rovinj is a charming place with a very relaxed atmosphere, restaurants and ice-cream parlours a plenty. If you need major dental treatment I highly recommend Dr. Goran Vukotic, who is as dedicated  in dentistry as he is experienced in implantology."
