FAQ

Although many people may have considered dental treatment abroad, they often have many doubts. Therefore, we have prepared a list based on the most common questions that we have been asked. If these do not provide the answer you have been looking for, please feel free to contact us.

Why is Dental Treatment in Poland Less Expensive as Compared Other European Countries?

Dental treatment in Poland, including flight and accommodation expenses, costs around 50% of the same dental treatment only in western European countries.

The reason for this is the fact that, in comparison to western Europe, business running costs in Poland are much lower. Additionally, Polish citizens earn less than other EU citizens and consequently services in Poland are generally cheaper. Nevertheless, quality and techniques are the same as in any other EU country. This is required of Poland since it joined the EU and the Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists became a member of the Council of European Dentists (CED).

Consequently, the total cost of dental treatment in Poland (incl. travel & accommodation) is 50-70% lower than the cost of the same treatment offered in western European countries.

How Long does the Dental Treatment Take?

It depends on the dental treatment you need. We propose that you stay for 5 nights / 6 days because most dental procedures can be carried out within the timeframe. If your stay is shorter, our dentists will do their best to get the required dental work done in the available time.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an artificial tooth root (screw) that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth.

They are suitable for:

  • Replacing a missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
  • Supporting a dental bridge and removing the need for partial dentures.
  • Providing support for dentures

How Long does Implant Treatment Take?

In case of dental implants, which require a bonding period (osseointegration) of 3 to 6 months between implant placement and the fitting of the abutment and crown/ bridge/ denture, two dental trips are necessary.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are suitable for patients of any age, assuming they have fully developed jawbones. Having sufficient bone tissue of a high enough quality is one of the determining factors in whether you are a suitable dental implant candidate. Assuming you are a healthy individual with good oral hygiene habits, you will be suitable for dental implant treatment.

What is the Best Way to Fix the Gaps in My Smile?

There is no one single way to fix gaps in one’s smile, however we usually recommend either porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers or a combination of both.

What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over your tooth or dental implant. They help restore your tooth’s shape, size, strength and appearance. They are useful to protect a weak tooth, restore broken teeth, cover a large filling, hold a dental bridge in place, covered misshapen or discolored teeth and to cover a dental implant.

What are Dental Veneers?

Porcelain veneers, also known as dental veneers, are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of the teeth to enhance their appearance. Porcelain veneers are used both to make dark or stained teeth look whiter and sometimes to improve a patient’s bite. They are useful to correct uneven or crooked teeth, fix teeth that are out of proportion and enhance tetracycline stained teeth or yellow teeth.

    Treatment: Implant and crown
    Patient review:

    I have been a patient with Project Smile for around 5 years and this review follows the completion of my third course of treatment. The facilities and staff at the clinic are first class and I have never been disappointed by the standard of care. Best of all is the value for money for advanced treatments which are extortionately priced in my home country. Highly recommended.

    Treatment: All on 4 / 6 full implants and bridges
    Patient review:

    Having considered dental work abroad for some time, I finally took the plunge in late 2021. From the moment I contacted Patryk, exchanged some emails and then had a couple of calls, I was convinced that I was making the right choice. We discussed ballpark costs for the treatment I was envisaging, and whilst it was not cheap it was possible - in the UK I could not have afforded it. Within a few weeks I was in Gdansk and Patryk organised a hotel and taxi (thanks to Peter the driver). The treatment was very invasive but thats what I needed. My surgeon, Maciej, was extremely reassuring and the week was full of tests and surgery. Throughout the whole process of extractions, bone augmentation and implants, Maciej was amazing, making sure that my personal comfort was uppermost in his mind. Then the healing stage takes over and this goes on for 4-5 months. Upon returning and making sure that the surgery had been a success, I was then under the care of Anna who is something of a perfectionist when it comes to crafting the bridges and correcting your bite. Within 9 months I was fully 'toothed up' and what a difference it makes. All of those embarrassing situations of avoiding foods and not smiling evaporated. To say that this has impacted my life immeasurably for the better would not be an overstatement. If you are considering any dental work outside of your own country then I cannot rate this team highly enough. Communication is fantastic and their concern for personal wellbeing is laudable. If you have a low pain threshold then the team will never push the boundaries, they will always ask you if you are feeling any pain. If I could sum up this experience in one word it would simply be 'painless' - from both a treatment and organisational perspective. Finally, you'll also have a lovely stay in a beautifully historic city which is also very modern. Well done everyone at Project Smile and thank you.

    Treatment: Restorative treatment with 7 implants and 24 crowns :)
    Patient review:

    100% the real deal. I could not be happier with the results. After 3 separate visits, over 14 months and completing my final appointment, I feel like a brand new person . From day 1, I knew what to expect for the next year+. Dr. Maciej does the surgeries and Dr. Anna does the aesthetic work. I can't speak highly enough about their professionalism, thoughtfulness and top notch work. All of the assistants were amazing, the equipment is state of the art and everything is so clean. The price was 1/3 of several quotes in the US, but beyond that, in the US dentists suggested a worst solution, that did not take into account my bone loss or the existing healthy teeth. Beyond the results is also a hidden European gem of Gdansk! The city is clean, steeped in history and Uber is always on time. If you are considering this clinic, do it! Also a special thanks to Patryk who was able to put me at ease by answering all of my questions throughout the entire process.

    Treatment: Dental implants & crowns
    Patient review:

    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.

    Treatment: Crowns
    Patient review:

    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.

    Treatment: Implants and crowns
    Patient review:

    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.

    Treatment: Theeth drown out, Implants, porcelin bridges
    Patient review:

    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.

    Treatment: Whole mouth crowns and implants
    Patient review:

    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.
