"I will be honest and say I was worried about leaving England for treatment on my teeth - a different country, different language and no family around was daunting. I couldn't afford the treatment in England and what I had been offered on the National Health Service was too basic. So I put my teeth and trust in the hands of the Dental and Implantology unit team at St James Hospital. They organised accommodation for me and my partner and all the necessary hospital arrangements so all I needed to do was book the flights.
I made about 3 trips to Malta over a period of ten months for my operation and treatment and I still saved my self a fortune compared to England! The hospital staff were friendly, attentive and my room was lovely and clean and the staff's English was fantastic. I now have a 'million dollar smile' and I owe it all to the Dental and Implantology unit team."

"I had my implants done about four years ago. For the two years prior to that, I had the conventional denture, and lived in hell. Sticky material in my mouth, trying to keep the denture steady, cannot eat properly, low self esteem, cannot look a person in the face, and became very nervous.
Since I had my implants done, my life changed completely. I can smile and show my teeth, my face lifted again, can eat what I want and feel my old self again. Thank you for a job well done. You made me feel happy again."
