I had suffered bone loss on an ageing implant and the space created was encouraging bacteria and so a bad taste and smell. My dentist in the UK understood the problem was but was only encouraging extra detailed cleaning around the bridge and implants. I was so unhappy with the taste and smell and sought expert opinion in Crete where we have a home as I did not want the problem to get worse. I am only in the early diagnosis and recommended treatment stage at present.
I was recommended to Dr Nikolidakis by the Gentle Dental Clinic in Hersonnisos, who undertook my first (without charge) consultation. Dr N is a specialist implant surgeon. The clinic is very welcoming from first contact with Rena on reception. The clinic is bright and clean and you are given very personal attention with everything explained clearly. Everything was so different to the UK! Yes, I had to go to a separate office for x-rays, but these were fast, professional and very good value. Dr N had examined the x-rays before I was seen but sought my own opinion as well on the problem to ensure that he gave all the options available. Even at this early stage, Dr N gave me a good idea of likely total cost, and I was impressed with the work that would be undertaken for the overall cost involved. I have already received a treatment plan with options and with clear timescales. I am very happy.
