Treatments offered by our partner clinics
Dental implants & implant-supported restorations
A titanium or ceramic post placed in the jawbone to support a crown, bridge or denture.
Typical visits: Usually two or more trips: placement, then a healing period of roughly 3–6 months before the final restoration. Bone grafting can add time.
Risks to discuss: Infection, implant failure, nerve or sinus involvement. Smoking, diabetes and gum disease affect suitability.
Crowns & bridges
Caps that restore a damaged tooth, or a fixed bridge that replaces missing teeth using neighbouring teeth for support.
Typical visits: Often one trip of about 5–10 working days for preparation, temporaries and fitting.
Risks to discuss: Tooth sensitivity, need for root canal treatment later, fit adjustments.
Full-mouth rehabilitation
A planned combination of treatments that restores function and appearance across the whole mouth.
Typical visits: Usually several trips over months. Ask for a written stage-by-stage timeline before booking travel.
Risks to discuss: Complex planning; complications in one stage can affect others. Follow-up at home is important.
Prosthodontics & removable dentures
Full or partial dentures, and implant-retained overdentures.
Typical visits: One or more trips depending on design and whether implants are involved.
Risks to discuss: Adjustment period, sore spots, the need for relines over time.
Cosmetic & restorative dentistry
Veneers, bonding, whitening and tooth-coloured fillings.
Typical visits: Often a single trip.
Risks to discuss: Veneers usually need enamel removal, which is irreversible. Results vary between patients.
Endodontic treatment
Root canal treatment to save an infected or inflamed tooth.
Typical visits: One to three appointments, often within a single trip.
Risks to discuss: Persistent infection, need for retreatment, tooth fracture without a crown.
Periodontal treatment
Care for gum disease, from deep cleaning to surgical procedures.
Typical visits: Initial therapy is often followed by maintenance that should continue at home.
Risks to discuss: Gum recession and sensitivity. Long-term results depend on home care and regular maintenance.
Oral surgery
Extractions, wisdom teeth, bone grafts and sinus lifts.
Typical visits: Depends on the procedure. Allow time to recover before flying.
Risks to discuss: Pain, swelling, bleeding, infection and, rarely, nerve injury.
Orthodontic treatment
Braces or aligners, where clinically appropriate.
Typical visits: Typically requires regular monitoring over many months, so it may suit patients who can return often or arrange local follow-up.
Risks to discuss: Relapse without retainers, root resorption, gum problems.
