Before last summer vacation, I received 300 euros from my mother-in-law. To have in Glasgow at the beginning of everything to start from scratch. Today, my wife and I have the most modern clinic. Even during our university studies, we knew we wanted to go the route of private practice and provide clients with services they truly deserve. We’ve been gaining skills and knowledge abroad ever since. Where have we moved to?
The beginnings in Glasgow weren’t easy. We moved into a completely new environment, we had to get used to a new culture, a different language, and a different style of work. With the money from my wife’s mother, we had to stand on our own feet. And it worked out for us.
But at the same time, we managed to adopt the mindset of the dentist–patient relationship. We realized that healthcare in Slovakia is not—and not in the state we originally thought it was. What it lacks, however, is humanity and an individual approach, which is crucial for building mutual trust. With the experience we gained, we returned to Slovakia. We started implementing innovative ideas into practice and working with modern technologies in dentistry and implantology.
We found out that it was worth it to keep going, build on a new work style, and take a different approach to patients. We’ve been in Bratislava for five years, and during these years we’ve been opening the most modern clinic. In new premises that offer an outstanding design not only for our work, but above all for our patients. Some people might think it’s a short time, but we knew exactly where we wanted to go—and what we had to sacrifice for it. We’re still educating ourselves abroad, studying, traveling, and familiarizing ourselves not only with new procedures, but also with modern technologies. And we implement everything into practice. And today, the result of our efforts is here. Bratislavský Zuckermandel has become the new home of ArtDentistic.
We changed the premises, installed revolutionary equipment, but we didn’t change what we’ve built the most so far: our approach to patients. There’s still potential—we’re still keeping an eye on what’s happening right now. We’re really excited that we can show all this knowledge, expertise, and procedures to clients in the new premises. We’re looking forward to each and every one of you. Come and see for yourself on your own teeth.
