Cosmetic Dentistry

We believe that everbody deserves a healthy and perfect smile. An attractive smile can boost the chances in your career, your personal life, or just enhance what you already have. With new minimally invasive techniques and painless treatments, cosmetic dentistry is now readily accessible for almost anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth.

While traditional dentistry focuses on dental health and oral hygene, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth and smile. In other words restorative, general and/or family dental practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment, whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective or desired treatments or services.

As cosmetic dentists we focus on what our patient expects from their smile and how they want their teeth to look. Cosmetic dentistry is a self-esteem service, just like other cosmetic surgery if the result is not what the patient wants, the treatment is a failure. Consequently, we with our patient need to spend time in the artistic planning of their smile.

Fundamentally, we believe there are three types of smile, each of which primarily involves work on multiple front teeth, although cosmetic dentistry is obviously not confined to just those teeth that form the smile, and includes closing gaps, replacing missing teeth and of course the repair of damaged or decayed teeth;

Variation in the length of the teeth. A youthful smile generally means that the two front teeth are slightly longer than the others, since they tend to be longer than the other front teeth when they first come in and then wear down over time to an even length. So, for that sexy youthful smile your smile design will draw peoples eyes to the center of your face, emphasizing your nose and chin, we have found this an ideal treatment for those patients with prominent, attractive lips.

A aesthetically this type of smile conveys a look of maturity and sophistication.

Many view the perfect smile as between the hollywood and youthful smile. The central teeth are a little bit longer than the adjacent front teeth. This smile design appears natural and conforms to many peoples ideal of the "perfect" smile, and can also convey warmth. It's not quite as beaming as the Hollywood smile nor is it as prominent as the youthful smile.

Key Factors Affecting Your Smile:

Your smile design must take into consideration the shape of your face. For patients with a long face may want to consider accentuation of the width of their smile to make their face appear more oval. Someone with attractive features may want to draw attention to that center.

Your smile aspirations, how do you want to appear to others? A Hollywood smile gives the appearance of more maturity and sophistication. A youthful smile gives the appearance of more warmth, energy and boldness.
So your age, or how old you want to appearare also important factors.

You might want a smile that you picked from a photograph or a magazine, perhaps you want the smile of a celebrity, however our cosmetic dentist may not agree totally with your choice and will explain why that smile may not quite suit you, but ultimately the final decision is still yours.

TourMedical's ethos is to highlight the correlation between oral wellbeing and a persons wellbeing. However, unlike National Smile Month Tourmedical focuses on the aesthetics of your smile and not so much on the the scientific research although, they do fully endorse the importance of oral hygene.

In today's world there are many factors affect a large majority of people that do not visit the dentist regularly, not least the fear factor. A spokesperson for Dental Fear Central, the UK's largest dental phobia self-help organisation, said, "There are many, many people for whom just the thought of seeing a dentist provokes extreme anxiety and panic. Some of them have had traumatic experiences with dentists in the past, especially during their childhood or teenage years. Others fear the loss of control they experience in the dental chair. Dentists are still viewed as authority figures by many, who feel totally helpless and at the mercy of the dentist". Regardless of the cause, dental phobia and anxiety TourMedical's trained patient co-ordinators are offered free for each and every client interaction, with multiple languages and countries of origin including; Ireland, England, Netherlands and Germany, the patient co-ordinators are able to put everyone at ease, before during and after treatment.

An Introduction To Medical Tourism

Not so long ago, travelling abroad was not the first thing that came to mind when considering medical treatment, however nowadays, going abroad for many medical treatments can actually be incredibly beneficial.

The phrase that is becoming common for this kind of travel is "medical tourism" and as the costs for simplest of procedures rise, medical tourism is becoming an increasingly popular choice for people all over the world.The cost of dental work and a variety of other medical treatments abroad can be as little as 20% of the cost of the same treatment in your home country. Many countries actively promote medical tourism and offer incredibly competitive rates along with other benefits.


There are also many reputable companies that specialise in arranging medical tourism packages for you, which combine your treatment with a restful holiday, at a price less than you would spend if you opted to have the procedure done at home.

Increasingly in the UK NHS treatments are subject to waiting lists, in some areas of Britain it is almost impossible to gain timely access to a NHS dentist. Whilst for some other medical treatments the wait for a major surgery can be as long as a year which isn't exactly a recipe for happy or healthy patients.

These long waits are often a deciding factor for those who choose to seek treatment elsewhere, as in most countries where medical tourism thrives in Turkey wait times are short or nonexistent. This allows patients to get the care they need sooner and at a time when it is convenient for them.

Many people are reluctant to travel for treatment because they are concerned about the quality of care they will receive, but actually most of these fears are unfounded. While there will always be medical facilities provide sub-standard services, most are world class and in the case of Tour Medical may be better than those at home. Many practicioners are certified with highly prestigious medical associations. Hospitals are often corporately owned, and as such are very competitive and will often exceed expectations of care and comfort.

Medical tourism offers the chance to do a little sightseeing before or after your treatment. You can spend your recovery relaxing under on a scenic beach, in a resort or even just enjoying the benefits of a high class hotel's room service. With Tour Medical some packages may be all inclusive, as well as providing you with an assistant on call at your hotel.
