The Fort Lauderdale, FL cosmetic dentistry practice Smile South Florida has seen a big upswing in the number of international patients in the last couple of years.  Seeking dental services that are superior to what they receive in their home countries, the international patients come from many different countries, especially the United Kingdom (U.K.)

Smile South Florida provides extra assistance to patients who are traveling long distances to take advantage of the practice’s services. The staff at the office can help make travel and hotel arrangements.  The practice has special arrangements with top-quality hotels and can recommend area spas, attractions, fun activities, and businesses.  It is all part of the office’s VIP service which includes warm and cold beverages, snacks, blankets, DVD movies while waiting, and relaxing music on an iPod. “We want to make every patient’s visit as pleasant and stress-free as possible,” notes Miami cosmetic dentist, Dr. Charles Nottingham. “International patients have done a lot of traveling, so they have a better experience if they are comfortable and at-ease when they get here.”

Visitors from the U.K. come to Smile South Florida for a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services.  The most popular is veneers, followed closely by porcelain crowns and teeth whitening. Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored laminates; each is custom made for the patient in a professional dental laboratory. The dentist attaches a veneer to each tooth’s front surface to improve its appearance. Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile, correcting teeth that are stained, damaged, crooked, or misshapen.

Getting veneers can give your smile a total makeover.  Smile South Florida can provide a full set of veneers to a patient in just ten days.  The office makes every effort to expedite the services to accommodate the schedules of international patients. Sometimes they combine the initial diagnostic visit with the first step in the treatment. Other times they travel to Florida for a first visit, go home, and then return later for the second visit.

“Many British patients feel that they don’t have a lot of choices for quality cosmetic dentistry in the U.K. and the services which are available are expensive,” says Fort Lauderdale cosmetic dentistDr. Nottingham. “They know that we provide superior results. Many of our patients are repeat patients or have been referred to us by friends and family.”

Dental tourism is a growing trend and South Florida is a popular destination for visitors from the U.K.  “Some visitors are snowbirds with houses here,” remarks Dr. Nottingham. “Many patients come and enjoy the beach or visit DisneyWorld.  You can have a great vacation and go home with a beautiful smile.”
