Many Sri Lankans living overseas use a trip home to catch up on dental care. One patient who travelled from Australia had two root canal treatments, a cleaning and general dental treatment at our Kadawatha clinic during his visit, and shared his experience in a Google review.
Plan before you fly
- Message us on WhatsApp before your trip with a short description of your concern, and any recent X-rays or dental records you have
- Book your first appointment early in your stay, so there is time for follow-up visits
- Tell us your departure date so we can plan treatment around it
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the treatment. A check-up and cleaning can be done in one visit. Root canal treatment may take one or more visits, and a tooth that needs a crown afterwards may need extra appointments for the crown to be made and fitted. We will give you a clear plan and timeline at your first visit.
Before you leave
Ask for a summary of the treatment you received and any X-rays, so your dentist at home has a full record. Follow the aftercare advice, and contact us on WhatsApp if you have questions after you return.
