Our patient, who came from France for the unique service of Smile and Holiday in the past months, received dental crown treatment for his teeth damage. We asked him the questions you were wondering about the treatment and his new smile. We gave him time and sent our questions better to evaluate his satisfaction and dental crown experience. We thank our patient for his kind answers and information.
Why did you choose Turkey to have your dental crowns done?
I had heard about the reputation of dental treatments in Turkey long ago from my other friends. My friend had a dental implant treatment in Fethiye in the past years and had a nice holiday experience. When I learned that I needed dental crowns after my root canal treatment, I wanted to choose Turkey. I wanted to get my beautiful smile and have a nice trip to Türkiye. I’ve never regretted it. In addition, dental crown prices are very affordable in Turkey compared to France. This was one of my top choices. I got dental crowns for almost half the price.
How long have you had your dental crown?
I have got dental crowns for my 4 teeth 3 months ago. Smile and Holiday family prepared the suitable dental crowns for my teeth in 2 appointments and performed the procedures. I can smile easily with my 4 bright tooth crowns. My self-confidence has increased a lot during this time. Now I don’t have to worry about the damage and dark spots on my teeth when I laugh.
Have you experienced any sensitivity or discomfort since getting your crown?
I spent the first week getting used to it. For one week, I felt a slight sensitivity in my teeth, especially while drinking cold water, and it hurts a little. But my Smile and holiday dentists had foretold this habituation process. So, it was something I expected. However, that week, I immediately consulted my Smile and Holiday doctors about my questions. They immediately answered all my concerns. Towards the end of the week, the sensitivity gradually decreased and is now absent. Now I can consume hot and cold products without any sensitivity or pain.
Have you had any problems with your crown loosening or falling off?
No, I have not. Thanks to the expert dentists of Smile and Holiday, I have teeth that are fully compatible with my teeth and are strong. I haven’t had any problems with falling or loosening. Most of the time, I don’t even feel my dental crowns because they are no different from my natural teeth. I consume the product I want during the day as if it were my own teeth.
Have you noticed any change in the appearance of your crown, such as discolouration or chipping?
No, I didn’t feel it. My dental crowns are the same strength and colour as on the first day. They are quite robust and white. Their colour was adjusted to match my natural teeth perfectly. I am very grateful to my dentists for this because my smile would be greatly affected if they were a different colour. While researching on the internet, other clinics reported great difficulty matching colour with natural teeth, but Smile and Holiday clinic gave me this assurance. Thanks to this, I got a beautiful smile. My expert dentists gave me cleaning instructions for the health of my teeth and dental crowns, and I follow them.
Do you follow your regular dental check-ups and cleanings for your dental crowns? What are they?
Yes, I’m following. As I mentioned before, my specialist dentists gave me a set of instructions for maintaining the health of my crowns and my own teeth. In fact, these are dental health practices that I normally do. Brushing my teeth twice a day, using dental floss and mouthwash, and having general oral health checks every 6 months are all of these practices. As you will notice, they are all ordinary health steps that you can take before getting my dental crowns done. They’re pretty easy.
Do you have difficulty with your dental crowns chewing or speaking?
No, I don’t have any difficulty. I can eat and chew anything I want. However, I avoid breaking hard-shelled things with my teeth. But it’s not just about the health of my dental crowns. On the contrary, because I care about the health of all my teeth, I avoid breaking hard-shelled things with my teeth. In addition, my dental crowns did not affect my speech and pronunciation at all. I live comfortably with my dental crowns, just as I live with my normal teeth.
Did you feel any pain or discomfort during the dental crown treatment?
No, I didn’t feel it. Normally I am afraid of dentists. I had bad experiences before, but the Smile and Holiday team did their best to help me through this process as easy as possible. Therefore, during my treatment period, I felt no pain while filing my teeth for dental crowns or placing dental crowns. Smile and Holiday’s use of high-tech equipment and the best sedatives also play a part in this. It was essential for me that this process was painless. In addition, between two dental appointments for dental crown treatment, the Smile and Holiday team took great care of me and made suggestions for me to explore Fethiye.
What surprised you the most in Smile and Holiday?
At Smile and Holiday, first of all, I was stunned that my dental crown treatment was so painless. I was also surprised by the organization of the whole team and the way they thought of everything for me. They took care of all the details of my process, including going to the plane after my treatment. In addition, the Smile and Holiday clinic has a high standard of hygiene. From the moment I reached the clinic, I felt they attached great importance to hygiene and my satisfaction.
What was the most important reason for you to choose Smile and Holiday?
It was a priority for me that the clinic I chose, especially when I was considering changing country for dental treatment, was where I would have a nice holiday in Turkey. Smile and Holiday’s clinic in Fethiye have been a centre of attraction for me. I had both my dental crown treatment and had the opportunity to see the beautiful blue seas of Fethiye.
The second reason I chose Smile and Holiday is that it offers affordable prices for dental crown treatment compared to Europe. Dental crown prices were quite affordable compared to other countries. I got great service at affordable prices.
Third, I was very impressed with the resumes of Smile and Holiday’s specialist dentists. I have benefited greatly from their expertise and interest since I contacted them. This made me feel safe. I am pleased to have my dental crowns done here.
Finally, thanks to the free quote on their website, they answered all my questions transparently before I came here. This helped me a lot in clearing my mind. I had the opportunity to ask all my questions, including the wage issue.
