Our mission at Project Smile is to provide high quality dental treatment in our dental clinic in Gdansk, Poland. To raise awareness of the high level of dental care available in Poland among foreign patients. To promote the concept of affordable dental treatment carried out by qualified and experienced dental specialists, with recognized credentials, that meet EU standards . To ensure consistent high quality treatment, excellent patient care and a personal dentist-patient relationship. To help foreign patients in need of complete dental care. To deliver in cooperation with other service providers, and by utilization of combined resources, the highest levels of Polish customer/patient care and an unforgettable dental travel experience. To build consumer confidence and convince the unconvinced that Poland is an exceptional healthcare and tourism destination.
Poland has been identified as one of the most promising destinations for medical travel in Europe having potential to grow at an estimated pace of 15% annually driven by Poland‟s EU accession & integration, medical travel associations and government support. The Polish Foreign Investment Agency confirms the tendency and predicts that the number of West European patients coming to Poland for private health care may continue to increase annually by 10-20%. Approximately 300.000 patients from Western European countries visit Polish clinics annually for medical treatment, mostly dental treatment (i.e. dental travel / tourism) and cosmetic surgery, spending up to 1 billion zlotys (€250 million) on medical treatment in Poland. The reasons being substantial costs saving without sacrificing quality, the country‟s tourist attractiveness, state of the art medical specialists and equipment and the fact that the majority of medical travel takes place in close proximity to the patient’s home country (i.e. within the EU).
The medical tourism survey reveals the latest trends in travelling overseas for treatment, be it for health-related, dental, infertility, obesity or cosmetic treatment or surgery. More than 1,000 patients took part in the study, the largest of its kind in the UK and Europe.
• For all patients in the survey from all countries, Hungary was the leading destination (12% of respondents), followed by Belgium (11%), Poland , Turkey, Spain, the Czech Republic and India were the destination for around 7% of patients each.
• For UK patients travelling overseas, Belgium (16%) was the most popular destination for treatment, followed by Hungary (15%), Poland (10%), Czech Republic (9%) and Turkey (9%) and Spain (7%).
• 42% of the UK patients in the study went abroad for cosmetic surgery, 32% for dental treatment, 9% for obesity surgery, and 4% for both infertility treatment and orthopaedic surgery.
• Hungary was the most popular destination for dental treatment (chosen by 38% of UK dental travellers) while Belgium was most popular for cosmetic surgery (18%). The most popular destinations for obesity surgery treatment were Belgium (50%) and the Czech Republic (21%). Spain, Cyprus and the Czech Republic lead the way in providing infertility treatment for UK couples.
• Nine out of ten respondents would definitely or probably go abroad for treatment again and the same number would recommend going abroad for treatment to a friend or relative.
• 84% would go back to the same doctor, dentist or clinic.
• 51% of respondents travelled to a country they had never been to before for their treatment.
• Patient satisfaction levels for their treatment abroad were high with 85% either ‘very’ or ‘quite’ satisfied with their experience. Levels of satisfaction were highest for infertility and dental treatments. Asked for reasons for their satisfaction, all respondents cited professionalism of staff, price and quality of care.
• Cost was cited by 83% of participants as the most important reason for travelling abroad for treatment. Dental patients also cited the ability to combine treatment with a holiday while cosmetic surgery patients cited worries about hospital infection in the UK. Orthopaedic, infertility and obesity surgery patients all cited the ability to avoid waiting lists at home.
• 71% said they had saved more than £2,000 by travelling overseas. 12.7% said they had saved more than £10,000 by going abroad for treatment. The greatest savings were seen to have been for dental and orthopaedic treatment.
• 82% of respondents said that clinic or hospital staff spoke their language ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ well. Only 4.4% said staff spoke their language ‘not at all well’, a regularly cited concern of those thinking of treatment overseas.
• More than two thirds (67.2%) said they did not require further treatment or follow up on returning home. Seven out of ten were contacted by their overseas clinician or clinic upon their return home, usually by email.
• The average in-patient stay among respondents was just three days with the average trip length being 16 days. The longest stay was for orthopaedic patients, the shortest for obesity patients.
• Worryingly, fewer than one in ten of those who took part had bought special travel insurance designed for people going abroad for medical treatment, mistakenly relying on standard travel insurance that would not have covered them in the result of loss or accident. One in three had no travel insurance at all!

I have had issues with my teeth for many years, I started to look into implants in the UK but not only was it difficult to even get a consultation, the cost was prohibitive. I started to look at clinics in Poland as I knew the quality of dentistry is very good here, Project Smile came up on a google search. After initial consultations via email and phone I took a trip to Gdansk. Patryk has been so helpful throughout the process and always available for a discussion if I had any queries (which I did) and he arranged the accommodation in Gdansk (which was fabulous) and Peter the driver. I ended up with more visits than I had anticipated, largely as I had a lot of work done. The staff have been excellent and I am very pleased with my new teeth. I chose to go for the slightly more expensive option (zirconia full ceramic non-metal) after discussion with the dentist and going through the options. Despite all of this, I wasn't prepared for how invasive my treatment would be including bone grafts (which I wasn't expecting and possibly something not everyone will need), the recovery following treatments was difficult. In total I had 5 trips including my final fitting (in late Jan 23), but as I say I had a lot of treatment. Thankfully Gdansk is fairly easy to get to from the UK with a short flight, and also we love the city, so much so that we are more than happy to visit for an annual check-up back at the clinic. You do need to go for a check-up 5-6 months after the final fitting. Overall, I would definitely recommend Project Smile. The quality of the care and treatment is excellent and I am very pleased with my new teeth. A big thank you to Patryk for being so helpful and responsive and to Peter who was always there to collect us from the airport, for the journeys to and from the clinic and was generally very helpful.
I was very pleased with the treatment that I received in my four visits to the Project Smile clinic. Mr. Patryk Becker, was very helpful and I was really thankfull for the help given in arranging transport and accommodation. The doctors that attended me, where so very thougtful and polite, and and had really very high standard of professional skills. The cilinic is very modern and has latest dental technology. Pricing for treatment I received and was always extremely reasonable and can not compare to the price in Icland. And also I am very thinkful for the service of Mr. Peter's taxi to and from the airport and all over town. Only thing that I could complain a litle about is that I had to wait for servise up to an houer several times, but it really did´nt matter because I had not much else to do during my treatment. I highly recommend the clinic wto anyone in need of dental care, especially if it is of a complex kind.... If you are thinking of getting your teeth fixed... do not hesitate to contact Mr. Patryk Becker at the Project Smile clinic immediately. I am quit sure that you will never have a cause for regret. Ég mæli eindregið með Project Smile. Ég fór í fjögur skipti, fékk 8 implönt og postulínsbrýr að lokum og er svo himinlifandi að geta nú brosað og ekki hvað síst... að tyggja mat og borða vandræðalaust. Stofan er mjög nútímaleg með frábærum, kurteisum, nærgætnum tannlæknum sem eru mjög færir í sínu fagi Hikið ekki við að hafa sambandi við Patryk, bæði hægt að senda tölvupóst og líka hringja.. og fáið ráðleggingar. Það er líka hægt að skreppa til Gdansk í einn tíma og fá faglegt mat og kostnaðaráætlun.
In the spring of 2022, I had comprehensive prosthetic work carried out at Smile clinic in Poland. 22 dental crowns and bite adjustment. The clinic is very aware of quality, thus several examinations Was done to get the best result. 22 dental crowns is a lot and I was a little nervous about such big changes. Now 3 months after the changes, I can only state that I have no discomfort or pain. My smile is so beautiful that other people praise my beautiful teeth. They can't tell the difference between dental crowns and it's really nice. My bite is correct and I can eat everything without problems. I can confidently recommend the clinic to anyone who wants or needs dental help. The most professional dental work I have ever witnessed.
My experience was amazing. Dental professionals who truly care. I originally asked for a quote based on a US based team. The dental surgeon from Poland called and explained to why that was not the healthiest solution in the long-term! I ended up with fewer implants because they saved more of my original teeth. When it was all done, my neighbor said I looked ten years younger, my sister said I had such a beautiful smile, they hadn't seen it in such a long time. I do smile all the time now. The dentists in Poland were always checking to ensure I was not in pain. I never was. I have never been to a dentist as gentle and caring as Project Smile's. My brother in-law needed an implant. I told him to call Project Smile and take a vacation. The cost would be about the same.
I spent 5 yrs looking around europe for the right clinic, eventually found project smile in Gdansk. My patience proved to be the right ting to do. Now that mt treatment has finished I look back and am so grateful to the clinic for the quality of treatment and care taken including from the point of being collected from the airport by Peter (taxi driver) who I know look at as a friend. In summary going forward project smile is now my primmary dentist
After noticing my teeth quickly degrading and fillings frequently breaking I decided to look at other options as I felt the NHS dentist I had attended for years paid lip service and did not identify the root cause of my issues. After ruling out private treatment in the UK as too expensive I looked at Poland and settled on practices in Gdansk. Following a number of consultations with different dentists in Poland I was most impressed with Project Smile for the professionalism of the initial consultation, the clarity of the explanation given and the bespoke and competitive treatment plan. I scheduled a number of appointments in advance for ease of booking accommodation and returned to start my treatment. I had my old fillings removed, new fillings fitted, a kois deprogrammer fitted to correct my bite, my teeth thoroughly deep-cleaned, flow injection on my lower jaw and zirconium crowns on every tooth in my top jaw. The results are magnificent. I am absolutely delighted with them. I found the skill and professionalism of the dentists to be outstanding, as well as their patience in answering questions and providing clear explanations. The reception staff respond very promptly to enquiries and the practice is very clean and modern, greatly in excess of UK standards. Highly recommended.
I had my first treatment at the clinic about eight years ago at the age of 58. For many years I had several problems with my teeth. There were old bridges that were broken with inflammation, general tooth decay etc. I will give my best recommendation to Project Smile Dental Clinic. I could never get better dental treatment. It`s now almost nine years since I got my implants and I had no problem at all in all this years. The clinic is complete reliable and everything is transparent. You get all the information that you need about both treatment and prices. They take care of everything and the people you meet you can really trust. They even have a driver who can meet at your hotel and drive you to the clinic, and also meet you at he airport if you want. If you want to take contact with me for more information you can contact me directly. Patryk Baker at the clinic can give you my mail address and phone number.
I had amazing experience start to finish, I highly recommend this dental clinic to everyone who is looking for perfection.
Happy with treatment
I cannot recommend Project Smile highly enough. I had implants and crowns put in and the result is fantastic. I was treated over a period of time due to the covid restrictions and also for the implants. Each time I was there, everything was explained to me and also the different options for my teeth that I could have chosen. The majority of the work was carried out by Dr Paulina and she took brilliant care with the treatment. I would also like to thank all other Doctors and staff that looked after me and made my treatment at Project smile a great experience.
