FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

01.Why are the treatments with you so much cheaper than in the U.K.?

The reason for this large price difference is that the salary costs of dentists and support staff are lower than in the U.K. The technical costs are also lower. Our prices also include all technical costs, material and anesthesia. In the U.K., these are usually charged separately to the patient.

02.Is it possible to receive a treatment plan without first sending an OPG (panoramic x-ray)?

Dentists use OPGs to examine the teeth, bones, and soft tissues so that they can spot potential dental or jaw problems prior to treatment. Dr. Rashela Petkovska creates your treatment plan after carefully reviewing your recent OPG. It is not possible to make this treatment plan without a recent OPG. If you do not have a recent OPG, you can ask your local dentist to make one or, if you prefer, we can refer you to a U.K. clinic for this.

03.Are travel and accommodation costs included?

The stay and travel expenses are included in the price.

04.Why should I choose dental care abroad?

This answer is easy – cost and quality. When calculating the cost of dental care abroad you need to compare apples to apples. A dental implant in the UK can cost up to £2,500 (£4,000 in the USA), but at our clinic you will pay only 550£ for a Premium implant with a 10 years to a lifetime warranty from one of the best brands ROOTT. Crowns, bridges and veneers are also much less expensive. For example, an all ceramic crown and porcelain veneer cost just 250£ each. Again, you can expect to pay 70% more in the UK and the other west European countries. We offer initial quotes by email so the more information you give us the better the quote. First procedure for dental implant could be done in 1-2 days, then you need to wait about 3 months for the second procedure you will need to come for a week in Macedonia to finish the procedure. Most complex treatments can be completed in 2 to 3 months depending on healing time, and of course, our materials are of the highest quality.

05.Can I get an experienced dentist?

Yes, at Dental Clinic PZU Denticija our specialists has been working with Italian, German, UK, Israel, Norway, Greek and Irish patients since 2000 and treats all our foreign patients. He has performed over 2.500 dental implants with a rate of success of 99,8%.

06.How do I know the materials are good quality?

At Dental Clinic PZU Denticija we use only the best quality CE certified products and before you arrive we will let you know what products we will be using. After the treatment every patient receives all the certificates of quality for the products used in the treatments, signed by the laboratory and our doctor. If you are comparing our products to the products used and offered by your dentist please make sure you are comparing apples to apples, not apples and oranges. We’ll tell you about our products so you can make sure you have the same information from your local dentist.

07.How long should I stay in Macedonia?

That depends on your personal treatment plan, but in most cases 6 days is sufficient. The clinic is open from Monday to Saturday. For implants, you must travel to Macedonia twice: the implants will be placed on your first visit and the crowns will be placed on the implants on your second request.

08.Is dental treatment in Macedonia reliable?

Yes, Dr. Rashela Petkovska and her team are highly experienced and highly regarded. She is the owner of the modern dental clinic Dental clinic PZU Denticija Gevgelija, which is equipped with the latest equipment and where many highly skilled specialists work. There is a lot of attention for hygiene and quality and the clinic has ISO 9001 certification.

09.I have received implants, do I need to have the stitches removed by my local dentist?

No, that is not necessary, because dissolvable sutures are used. It is of course important that you take good care of your new teeth. This means, among other things, that you regularly visit a dental hygienist. After your treatment in Macedonia, Dr. Rashela Petkovska will give you a letter with the details of your treatment to show to your local dentist.

10.Do I get a guarantee on my treatment?

Yes, you receive a full 10-year guarantee on all treatments performed in the clinic. With regard to the warranty periods, please refer to the prices page .

11.How much does it cost for travel, accommodations and transportations?

We have apartments in the center of the town and have arrangements with local hotels. We are offering you a free acomodation in our apartments in the center of the city. Transportation to and from Thessaloniki(Greece) airport and from the apartment to the clinic is FREE. The time of stay depends of the treatment. Using our service you will save around 70%.

12.Is it possible to have a tooth extracted and an implant placed in one visit?

Yes, it is possible, but not always. The doctor makes the decision during the procedure. One implant is installed in maximum 30 minutes.

13.Will I be toothless during the osseointegration process?

No. Immediately after the procedure, or the next day at the latest, you will be given a so-called temporary denture which will make it possible for you to function normally during the period foreseen for implant osseointegration.

14.I’m missing several teeth, do they each have to be replaced with a separate implant?

No. If you are missing several teeth they do not each have to be replaced with a separate dental implant. Although implants are artificial roots, one implant can be used to replace one or more teeth by attaching bridgework to the implant. Each patient’s needs vary and the number of implants needed for any particular patient will be determined by a number of clinical factors.

15. What are flight costs?

Cheap flights starting from 15£ from 10 airports in U.K. A one-way nonstop (direct) flight between London and Greece takes around 3 hours.
