Dental Tourism – An Emerging Sector

Society just keeps on evolving and dental tourism combines a holiday with dental treatment, allowing you to rest and recuperate after the treatment. Aside from here in Australia, certain countries are prominent when it comes to cosmetic dentistry; Europeans fly to Turkey for dental implants, mainly due to the low cost and high-quality procedure. Asian people often visit Bangkok, Thailand for dental treatment; indeed, the Land of Smiles might be the number 1 destination in the world for cosmetic dental treatments and where better to holiday than Thailand?

Typical dental treatments

When a patient combines their dental treatment with a short holiday, the following treatments are common.

• Dental implants – The best treatment for missing teeth, dental implants are never going to be cheap, yet when done correctly, you have a lifetime solution. If you have a crown and would like to find out if you are suitable for implants, pay your local dentist a visit. Titanium pins are inserted into the jawbone and over a couple of months, it bonds with the tissue and bone. This is a multi-session treatment, with the final visit to attach the prosthetic teeth.
• Overbite – This is when the upper front teeth protrude beyond the lower jaw section; check out Beseenhub for more information on overbite causes and potential treatments. Of course, the front teeth should extend beyond the lower set, no more than 2 mm is considered normal; anything more would require treatment. Treatment/holiday packages are aggressively marketed and with the right price tag, people will choose this option for significant treatment, such as implants or surgery.
• Porcelain veneers – A full mouth restoration would be a delicate procedure and you can stay at a nice resort where transport is laid on every day during the treatment. Many middle-aged people decide to improve their smile with porcelain veneers and a short vacation in Brisbane is attractive.
