Having done some research on “What Clinic”I eventually decided to book an appointment with Nano Dental. A couple of emails and a picture of my mouth and an informal assessment was made for me before I flew out for my two weeks in Altinkum. Having landed at Bodrum airport late Sunday night, my appointment was made for theTuesday at midday.
First impressions were very good as the Scottish receptionist welcomed me to the practice (so sorry I’ve forgotten your name). After a short while she called me through to meet my Dentist, who then did several X-rays of my mouth/jaw.
We then sat down and discussed the various treatments that are available and the costs involved, may I add here that there was never any pressure to proceed with the treatment, no sales pitch just total professionalism. All costs were shown to me in advance, £7000 for all the treatments half upfront.
After 24 hours I took the plunge and went for 8 extractions and 9 implants, my teeth were a mess to be honest at 61yrs old!! Thursday morning I arrived at Nano Dental practice and had four extractions from my upper jaw and 9 implants in a 2.5 hour session! Afterwards I was given a prescription for some pretty powerful pain killers and a bottle of burning strong mouthwash! Two tablets a day (NO ALCOHOL)!! and rinse the mouth out morning and night and we’ll see you Saturday for part 2!
Having had the majority of the work done on Thursday, Saturday was a bit of a breeze really having another 4 extractions with a filling thrown in! But also a set of temporary teeth! Things were Progressing nicely at this stage but my gums were slightly tender(no surprise there).
Another appointment for Monday was agreed on so he could check on my progress and take some moulds of my upper and lower pallet. Returned as arranged on the Wednesday for some more inspection and a bit of grinding to a few teeth for fitment purposes and was introduced to my new set of knashes! Wow
Fridays next appointment was the fitment of my new dentures, they cement them to any remaining teeth (they are temporary )until my implants have fused to my jaw bones. I chose to return next year to have the final fit done, but they say anywhere after 12weeks is acceptable, my flights already booked and I already have a huge grin 😁 on my face! They look fantastic and I feel I have my mojo back!
A huge thank you Nano Clinic and all of your hard working staff for your time and professionalism it really is appreciated from me! Also to my dental surgeon who is one of the most laidback characters I’ve met, you are a star my friend! Thanks for all your wicked tunes whilst working away and your calming demeanour. I can’t recommend this practice enough. See you next June 2023 for part 3. Kind regards, Michael Parker.
Quick footnote only 8 implants which reduced the costs by£250. Total being £6750 all inc Pod I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 not usofa .
