For years, Peter, a retired British executive, lived with a problem that affected not only his mouth but his whole life. He lost several teeth over time, successively postponed treatment and lost the habit of smiling. Meals became uncomfortable, his self-esteem declined, and he began to avoid social events.
“I knew I needed to do something, but I confess I was afraid. In England, treatments were costly, and I felt I was being treated like just another number,” she shares.
It was during a holiday in the Algarve that he came across Algarve Dental Implants, a dental clinic in Albufeira with an international reputation, specialising in advanced implantology. What convinced him? The answer is straightforward: Dr Cris Piessens‘ CV, one of the most experienced implantologists in Western Europe, boasts over 35 years of clinical practice and several postgraduate courses in the field of implantology. Dr Piessens has been placing dental implants since 1987 and specialises in the All-on-4 technique, which allows a complete arch to be rehabilitated with just four implants, often in just one day.
“When I realised that I was being accompanied by one of the best professionals in the field, I gained confidence. But what touched me was the way the whole team welcomed me: I felt respected, listened to, and well looked after from the first contact,” Peter recalls.
From the very first consultation, each stage was clearly explained. The clinical team answered all your questions with patience and empathy, and prepared the procedure with rigour and attention to detail. On the day of the operation, everything went smoothly. Peter underwent the treatment under conscious sedation and left the clinic with a new smile on the same day.
“There was no pain, no stress. It was a completely different experience from what I had imagined. I also took advantage of the Algarve’s climate to relax after the surgery,” he says.
Today, Peter has not only recovered the functionality of his teeth but also regained his confidence. He smiles, talks and eats without limitations. “It was an investment in me. And having it done in such a professional clinic, in such a beautiful place as Albufeira, was the best decision I could have made.”
At Algarve Dental Implants, Peter found much more than dental treatment. He found a dedicated team, a doctor of excellence, and an experience that, in his words, “completely changed the way I see my smile and my life.”
