Visiting
from abroad
Our Specialist Dental Clinic is capable to provide top quality, evidence based periodontal and implant therapy to patients who visit us for a short period of time.
We have developed an efficient process, considering distance and time limitations.
PRIOR YOUR VISIT
1.First you need to contact us at info@gperio.gr or by phone. The entire process can be largely facilitated if you provide us with all the necessary information via e-mail, before you visit our office (your medical and dental history, dental records, x-rays, etc). This way, we can make an assessment of the present situation and form a rational treatment plan based on your dental needs and expectations
2.We present you the proposed treatment plan by e-mail or skype. This allows us to explain in detail the various treatment options and you can have the chance to have all your questions answered. At the same time, you will also be informed about the cost and duration of your treatment. Our practice charges no cost for this consultation.
3.Once you agree with the treatment plan, we book in advance the necessary appointments. In case you need help with flight reservations and accommodation our patient care coordinator can be at your assistance.
UPON ARRIVAL
4.Upon arrival we will examine you and collect any additional diagnostic information that is required. We discuss further with you the final treatment plan and the treatment can begin.
Non-surgical periodontitis treatment, applying the laser assisted ‘full mouth disinfection protocol’, can be completed in averagely 2 days. Implant placement can be performed in one appointment if all the necessary preparations are fulfilled. With regard to prosthetic rehabilitation it may take 6-10 days (depending on complexity of the case) to be accomplished. For the permanent restoration of your implants, a second trip will be required at least 3-6 months later.
AFTER TREATMENT
5.On your departure you will receive all the documentation of the dental work provided in our Specialist Dental Clinic. We are always at your disposal for follow-up instructions, advice or information following completion of your treatment.
6.Fundamental of long term success is regular maintenance of dental treatment, something we typically provide in our Specialist Dental Clinic.
In case you cannot attend our office for dental maintenance, it is our core value to be in cooperation with the colleague, your regular dentist in your home place, for continuing maintenance of the periodontal or implant treatment, as essential part for long term success.
We have developed a Specialty Dental Practice, head of which is Dr. Papanikolaou Georgios. Dr. Papanikolaou is a specialist Periodontist, trained in Gothenburg University, Sweden, accredited by the European Federation of Periodontology.
Main passion of our practice is to save your teeth from periodontitis and provide evidence based implant treatment and prosthetic rehabilitation.
To meet this aim we dedicate the necessary consulting time to perform all the diagnostic examinations and discuss your needs in order to evaluate the possibilities and alternatives for your case.
To achieve the main aim of our practice we base on:
- Specialization: Dr. Papanikolaou has received extensive training in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, during additional 3 years of specialization in the prestigious University of Gothenburg, Sweden, beyond dental school. Dr. Papanikolaou is member of the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) since 2011.
- Team work: Our practice is not one-man show. Our, in-office, specialty team includes Dr. Maria Christoforou, specializing in esthetic and restorative dentistry.
Our trained staff support the daily operations, patient care coordination and meeting all additional health & safety protocols due to COVID-19. - Cutting edge technology: Our practice is equipped with the latest technology (dental microscope, laser etc.) allowing us to perform therapeutic procedures at highest diagnostic and operating precision.
We use the potentials of today’s dentistry to provide evidence based treatment which is safe, predictable and long term.
