Our Services Dental Implants Benefit from the most modern method to replace missing teeth—dental implants. Missing teeth can mean you avoid eating certain foods or feel like you don’t want to smile. With this state-of-the-art solution, you can enjoy an aesthetically pleasing appearance and the full function of your teeth. The Smiles Away Dental Travel team is here to help you arrange every aspect of your treatment.
Replacing One or Multiple Teeth If you have a single missing tooth from an injury, accident or extensive decay, one implant with a crown placed on it is the ideal solution. More than one tooth can be replaced by a dental bridge on implants. If you’re missing more teeth, a denture fitted on a number of implants is a very good long term solution.
Why Choose Dental Implants? There are many advantages to replacing your teeth with dental implants: A high success rate A painless procedure under local anaesthetic Can have a crown, bridge or denture placed on it Feels like a natural, strong and healthy tooth No allergic reactions No compromising neighbouring teeth
What to Expect Once you have decided that you’d like to have a dental implant, the procedure will be as follows. A dental CT scan will be used to evaluate your teeth. Any underlying dental problems present will be addressed first. Local anaesthetic is administered and the implant placed. You’ll then receive a temporary restoration for the initial healing period (2-3 months). Afterwards, you can have your permanent restoration placed on your implant.
08
Our Services Fixed Dentures Dentures are a reliable replacement for your missing teeth. When you arrange your care through Smiles Away Dental Travel, you can be sure that the dentures you receive will be comfortable, easy to care for and allow you to eat the foods you love. Our experienced team and on-site laboratory simplify the process for you.
Replacing One or Multiple Teeth If you have a single missing tooth from an injury, accident or extensive decay, one implant with a crown placed on it is the ideal solution. More than one tooth can be replaced by a dental bridge on implants. If you’re missing more teeth, a denture fitted on a number of implants is a very good long term solution.
Why Choose Dentures? You may prefer dentures if you do not want to have dental implants or a fixed dental prosthesis such as a bridge. Dentures are cost-efficient and quickly made. The process doesn’t involve any pain or inconvenience for you. Dentures made from top quality materials are provided; they are natural-looking and work just like your teeth should.
Partial Teeth Loss If you have just a few missing teeth, a partial removable denture may be the ideal solution. It’s attached to a bridge that is affixed to your remaining teeth with a specialised bracket. If needed, a crown can be applied to your existing teeth to give them greater strength and stability, upon which the partial denture can be placed. If you have molars that are missing, we recommend an attachment prosthesis with a dental bridge and a dental attachment that will slide into the removable part of your denture. When all teeth are missing, a complete denture is appropriate.
09
Click Dentures
All-On-4® or All-On-6
Those with too few teeth to have fixed dentures may choose to have click dentures. Dental crowns that are placed on existing teeth can have the click denture affixed to them. It can be removed for cleaning or brushing as needed. As the closure is located under the denture, it won’t be visible yet it will stay securely into place.
If you’d like a denture that is permanently in place, it can be affixed to denture implants. An implant will create a steady point on which your denture can be fixed, which will improve your quality of life.
Cosmetic Veneers If you’re concerned about the appearance of your smile, dental veneers can mask a broad range of imperfections. Created from resin composite or porcelain, veneers cover the surface of existing teeth to improve the way that they look in colour, size, shape or length.
Why Choose Veneers? Veneers are a cosmetic option that will transform the way you look and enhance your self-confidence in showing off your smile. They are effective for addressing teeth that are Discoloured from stains, certain medications, excessive fluoride, large fillings or root canal treatment Worn down Irregularly shaped, uneven or misaligned Gapped
What to Expect The procedure for getting veneers involves one or two trips to the dentist depending on whether you’d like composite or resin materials. The first appointment consists of discussing what you would like to achieve and having a thorough examination. To prepare your teeth for veneers, some of the existing enamel will be removed. With a conservative approach, the dentist will remove as little as possible. If you have porcelain veneers, impressions are taken and used in the laboratory to create your veneers. If you have composite resin veneers, they are applied layer by layer, painted onto the front of your teeth. When your porcelain veneers are received back from the laboratory, they’ll be securely bonded into place. Your dentist will make sure that you are pleased with the way that they look and function before cementing them into place.

You won’t have to worry about long waiting times to receive your restoration. We provide a guarantee with our work so that you can feel confident in deciding to proceed in getting a crown or bridge with us.
What Is a Dental Crown?
What Is a Dental Bridge?
Crowns, or “caps” as they are often called, are custom-made covers for teeth that have had a root canal (leaving very little tooth structure), cracked or weakened teeth or teeth that are so decayed that a regular filling is insufficient. The framework of a crown is created from metal alloy to give it greater stability. The framework is then covered with a tooth-coloured material and placed over the tooth for a completely natural look.
If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, you might have experienced problems with speech, a change in your bite and have a greater chance of tooth decay or periodontal disease. A bridge is affixed to the teeth that neighbour the gap, suspending a fake tooth into the open space.
