Alison had problems with her teeth. She could not eat well or smile in public. She had a big change in her dental health abroad. Alison is 57 years old and her problems got worse over time.

Alison said she lost teeth and they became loose. It got worse over time. She did not know what to do about it.

Alison took care of her teeth, but they still got worse. She had problems with her gums and a bad bridge. She said she brushed her teeth every day and was clean.

But her teeth problems got worse and worse. About seven years ago, she went to Turkey to get veneers, but she needed more help.

Alison had a big change.

When doctors looked at her mouth, they could not do an X-ray. They found gum disease and she needed implants. Then she looked for a good place to get it done.

Alison wanted a natural look. She heard some bad stories and did not want that.

She wanted teeth that looked real.

It took her a while to choose a dentist. Then she saw a family member's results and chose Dentum in Croatia. The process was easy and fast.

Alison had all her teeth removed and got implants. It was a big procedure and she was not ready. She said it was traumatic.

She did not look in the mirror after the procedure. She was swollen, but she trusted the doctors.

Alison got her smile back.

The treatment went well and she felt good. The doctors took measurements and got everything ready.

Before the treatment, Alison's diet was limited. She did not eat in public because she was self-conscious. She ate soups and soft food.

The treatment cost £12,000, which is less than it would have cost in the UK. Alison said it would have been too expensive in the UK.

Now Alison can eat anything. She is more confident and does not cover her mouth.

Alison is happy with her new teeth. She wishes she had done it sooner.

Alison feels better every day. She is happy with her decision.
