When you are unable to visit your dentist

Changing your dentist can be more challenging than getting married or filing for divorce. Marriages are often alive due to “just” having children or the property you have acquired together. The relationship with your dentist is much closer than with your other half – children will grow up and leave home. You can always buy a new car or a house, but you cannot buy new teeth – it is best to keep them with you. 

Why people switch dentists

There are circumstances in life where the dentist or the clinic you used to go to, must be changed. The isolation due to COVID-19 has become one. Someone “got stuck” in Tallinn or in Estonia, some clinics were unable to deal with the lack of both patients and income, resulting the bankruptcy and closing.

There are also other reasons to change your dentist. Starting with retirement and ending with constant conflicts with the doctor for various reasons – for example, a divorce with a wife who happens to be your dentist.

Fluctuation of the patient’s income also causes a migration from a more expensive doctor to a more affordable one and of course vice-versa. Unfortunately, the first direction is more common, especially in the times of the coronavirus crisis. 

Who should you change your dentist out for? 

Seemingly an odd question. Who could replace a dentist rather than another dentist? Not everything is as obvious as it seems.

To insure yourself against most of the reasons for changing a dentist, you should never choose a specific doctor over a clinic that can fulfill 95% of the requests related to the health of oral cavity. The 5% is left for “I would have never guessed” cases when treatment is needed in a hospital environment with the involvement of surgeons or other rare specialists. In the end, when the surgeon has gotten use to extracting the lower left molars in 5 seconds does not mean that he can perform the rest of the manipulations or procedures just as successfully.

This is the reason to choose a dentistry with a full range of specialists who complement and replace each other successfully. Our clinic has such a team so let us get to know them closer.

Implanttihoito clinic is ready to become a dentistry for the rest of their life. Not only for people who live in Estonia. People from all around Northern and Eastern Europe come to us – Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Ireland and Germany. But why? Because our doctors do not have the time to “stuff their pockets” with European prices. This allows to keep the quality while having an affordable price tag on the services. We also have an installment plan possibility – we do the work today; you pay tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. 

Dentist dentist dentist

There is one life hack. Dentist – is also a person with a set of teeth and dental diseases, a desire for bite correction or bruxism. Therefore, whoever your doctor trusts his teeth to is an excellent dentist by definition.

Forgive for the analogy, but it illustrates the situation very well. Do you know which clients are most disliked by veterinarians? Doctors. Doctors always have their opinion about the treatment of animals by projecting their experience on their favorite horse, dog, cat, guinea pig etc.

Dentists do the same. The pickiest patient is a dentist. Therefore, if other dentists are being treated in the clinic, this is an indicator of the level of excellence. Let us not point our fingers at people – its impolite, but several leading Tallinn dentists treat their teeth at Implanttihoito. We can say more. The doctors of our clinic do not go anywhere else, completely trusting their colleagues. 

The economy must be economical

As noted previously, our doctors have not been corrupted with high wages. During the crisis, we lowered our prices and allowed people to pay for the treatment in advance with the lower prices resulting a good saving for the patient.

If the patient is facing financial difficulties, we always meet at the halfway. We offer several installment plan options, while never changing the materials for cheaper and lower quality ones.

Our credo is to use the best materials available in the given price category. Saving on quality can go sour not only for the patient, but also for Implanttihoito. We give guarantee for our work, so we are interested in not performing repeated procedures for free. 

Let us go to the doctor

So, before we weigh all the pros and cons:

We have 8 solid reasons to choose Implanttihoito when changing the dentist for some reason. You can come to us without a reason – lets just get to know each other and undergo a preventive examination.

Take care of yourself! Visit your dentist twice every year and be healthy.
