HANNY (JOHANNA) CRUTTENDEN - London / UK

"Having been told by my dentist in London that nothing could be done about the sensitive tooth which had a root canal done by a Harley Street dentist, but having it replaced by an implant and then a new bridge. He even thought it might be 2 implants but one with augmentation. I was given two names for enquieries. The prices quoted gave me a shock to say the least. I was looking at a sum close to £ 5000,00 and that did not even include the bridge.

The BBC was at the time doing a survey about dentistry abroad. I looked it up on the website and got in touch with a few, one of them Dr. Goran's clinic. I was given a few references and even spoke to a couple of his patients and they were all full of praise. A friend of mine, who needed major dental work done, was going to Croatia for holidays and I gave her Trident’s address to check it out. She was very impressed and decided there and then to book herself in for treatment. That made me decide to follow suit and I have just come back from Rovinj where I underwent treatment done by Dr. Goran and Dr. Natasa.

During consultation Dr. Goran advised against implants but suggested  redoing root canal treatment, cleaning out "pockets", and replacing bridge. To improve on sensitivity, he suggested changing the bridge on the bottom jaw so as to "cushion" the bite. I am having three crowns on the bottom left jaw replaced with a bridge. When I asked him why he did not advise to have implants, his answer made sense: "Why put in a foreign body when not necessary?"

In the past I have had very expensive dental treatment done in Singapore and London with far less confidence and satisfaction than in this instance. I cannot overstate my satisfaction and am "almost" looking forward to my follow-up treatment in January 2008.

We were in Rovinj for 5 days and I visited the clinic every day for treatments, but there was still plenty of time to get to know this idyllic town. I felt I was well looked after, from the moment of pick-up at the airport and the stay in the apartment. The beach is a mere 5 minutes' walk and the clinic no further than 10 minutes away. Rovinj is a charming place with a very relaxed atmosphere and restaurants and ice cream parlors a plenty. If you need major dental treatment I highly recommend Dr. Goran Vukotic, who is as dedicated  in dentistry as he is experienced in implantology.

ELIZABETH LUBY - Leamington Spa / UK

"I've had 8 implants done by Trident and I found Dr Goran and his team very professional and caring. I've always been very nervous of going to dentists but they put me at ease.

 Following the operation I was seen by the dentist every day of my stay to check on progress. Based on the treatment so far I am very happy to recommend Trident and I'm looking forward to the completion ofFurther down is one of our patients' answers given to someone who was interested in having dental treatment in Trident.

"Hello,
Only back from Croatia two weeks. Yes, I will admit I've surfed the web not just for price, I wanted somewhere that I could get to easily and cheaply.  Well for once landed on ones feet without breaking them. Took the view if I got there and did not like at 75.00 return no big deal.

Well dental treatment was 100 per cent. My story. Don't yawn!

8 lots of antibiotics, nhs dentist / private dentist /  referral to hospital twice 18 months!  Finally assessed that although top of mouth hurting I mean when it kicked off tears hence tablets. It was actually referred pain. So not actually coming from where hurting but from bridge that I had when I was 17yrs. Now 40.

Dr. Goran and dr. Natasa had me in every day. They took the bridge off and well the smell  - yuk! Anyway the back tooth was gone, however they did manage to root canal this and built up. They treated it everyday.  I had a choice to have another bridge put on weakened tooth or to cap it off and go for implants longer term approx 500 sterling per implant. O.k. Driven from u.k. by money ... Service was excellent. Implants took 45min's for two. Had worse fillings.

Accommodation was clean not 5 star. To be honest we were last to come to have been assured and seen better accommodation of there's. Would have like separate front room area and that basically is all I can moan about. My husband Say's well it must of been good. Accommodation 13.50 per person per night sterling.

One more thing you might be interested in is that Dr. Goran's dentist is built up with mostly a Italian cliente. Apparently they drive for fine hours from northern Italy and have a brak too. Again they are driven by price.  Would I go all that way for a filling. No but anything that entails more yes.  Dental practice impeccable as is all the dental surgeons and staff. Also the laboratory people are called in to check you out. Absolutely outstanding!

Kind regards and you don't need luck, no I'm not on commission just for once met people that do a good job not a job's worth.  Anymore questions please ask.. um cost is much cheaper and you can get a cost prior to leaving u.k. approx of course.  Pebbly beach, Great relaxing day life, night life a stroll and restaurant.

Rovinj
Rovinj is one of the most beautiful pearls on the Adriatic. Several times it was announced to be the most beautiful, ordered and arranged town on the Croatian Coast. It is distinguished by its clear sea, thousand-year-old history (the name of the town was mentioned for the first time in the 5th century) and the spirit of the Mediterranean.  Its beauty and enchantment could be compared to the famous Venice! 

One of the most “photogenic” towns in the Mediterranean, once a fishing town, today is a tourist resort. At a distance of some 40km from Pula, Rovinj has long been known as the town with favourable and beneficial climatic features. So, today its people are still proud of this long tradition and “fight” for the title of “healthy town”... The rest is nature’s work. The entire coastline, with its twenty-two islands is the area of protected natural heritage.

Feel the enchantment of the town in its narrow medieval streets and warm Mediterranean setting. The main Church of St. Euphemia keeps relics of the saint and presents one of the most beautiful Baroque achievements in Istria. From the church plateau there is a wonderful view of the open sea and numerous islets in the distance. A visit to the Rovinj Town Museum and the town’s many galleries will complete your cultural experience.

Its surroundings offer immense possibilities for recreation: biking, horseback riding, jogging. But, owing to the sea and what it has to offer, ranging from sailing to discovering the underwater world, its therapeutic properties, today Rovinj is the destination for tourists from all over the world.

The dental studio owns its own apartments which are rented to their clients at very reasonable prices. In addition to providing dental services for our clients we organise various tours. We named this service «WEEKEND BY TRIDENT» because most of the patients who use this service are those who came here over weekend for check up and the rest of the time spent sightseeing or going on various tours.

Weekend by Trident consists of:
• Trip to famous Venice
• Trip to "pearl of continental Croatia" - National park Plitvice
• Rovinj Sightseeing Rovinj
• Visit to Pula (the most beautiful antique amphitheatre in the world)
• Gastronomic experience of the region of Istria
• Visit to the National park Brijuni
