Root canal treatment in Cracow with DENTestetica

Treatment: Root canal treatment - Back teeth
Provider: DENTestetica
Date: Aug 2010

Michelle Roberts combined unexpected root canal treatment with her pre-planned holiday to Krakow. Because her dentist in the UK couldn't schedule an appointment for two weeks Michelle decided to get dental treatment in Poland.

In her own words Michelle describes her experience with DENTestetica in Krakow:

"I've always enjoyed travelling so when a friend suggested going to Cracow for a week, I thought, why not? Unfortunately, three weeks before our holiday I started getting terrible toothache. I was able to get a consultation the week after, I needed root canal treatment on one tooth, but my dentist had no time on his schedule to treat me for a couple of weeks. As I didn't want to be in pain on my holiday I started looking for alternatives. Every dentist I contacted was either too expensive or had no available appointments. Then I wondered if I could combine my holiday with my treatment. I found Dentestetica on the internet, the price was right so I contacted the clinic. My friend and I landed in Cracow and were picked up by an English-speaking driver who took us to our hotel and then to the clinic. We were so impressed with the clinic and the staff; they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. My first appointment went very well; everything was explained to me in detail, treatment, breakdown of costs and so on. The treatment itself was done professionally and I got a perfectly-matched crown, which looks incredibly natural. All in all we had a wonderful holiday, and my treatment didn't interfere with our holiday. Cracow is a beautiful city, and we will certainly return in the future."
