Fillings
- Filling materials are used to fill tooth cavities, this technique has been used for some time and still remains to be the most effective method to stop cavities before they get extreme. Composite resin materials provide a more natural and tooth-like appearance making it almost invisible and also have the potential advantage of not containing mercury that may contribute to toxicity. The International Dental Clinic can provide all patients with consultations as to what type of filling they feel suits the patient best and provide reasons why it is important to stop further decay.
Bleaching & Whitening
- This involves bleaching of the stained teeth for a cleaner and brighter smile. There are many causes of tooth discoloration or staining including aging, consumption of staining substances or food like tea, coffee, cola, tobacco, trauma, antibiotic staining, excessive fluoride, nerve degeneration and old restorations.
- Bleaching has now more than ever become a very popular trend in the dental world as most people recognize one’s smile right away. This can often be used as a confidence booster as it helps people feel relaxed about their bold smiles. As advancements in whitening and bleaching have continued to grow, this remains one of the biggest and most sought after treatments from dentists. The International Dental Clinic can provide several techniques for patients with different sleeping patterns, tooth sensitivity or problems with having impressions in their mouth.
Veneers
- This technique also repairs the chipped and cracked teeth along with providing solution for teeth discoloration and filling gaps between the teeth.
- The International Dental Clinic will always provide the best solutions and suggestions as to why specific types of veneers are important for that individual and give reasons why these may affect one’s future hygiene, eating habits and even jaw alignment.
Crowns
- A dental crown is a tooth-shaped layer or cap over the tooth to give it a restored shape, size or strength. The loss of a tooth can leave nagging issues with the jaw which is why it is important to get this checked by your dentist every six months.
- There are several types of crowns that dentist use, these are:
- Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. They are mostly used for the front teeth as esthetic concern.
- Full metal crowns are made from materials include gold and metal alloys. These alloys are generally stronger than porcelain and may be recommended for back teeth.
- Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is often used because it is both strong and attractive.
Implants
- A dental implant is a small prosthetic post that is placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. The post functions as the root portion of the lost natural tooth and serves as an anchor for replacement tooth.
- Dental implant procedure that International Dental Clinic offers has a significant positive effect on one’s confidence. Because they look and feel almost natural, similar to the original tooth (or often better), it’s difficult for someone to tell whether it’s natural or an implant. Therefore the confidence and self-image is boosted often improving the ability to eat and even helps improve the person’s quality life.
X-Rays
- Sometimes tooth decay or any type of irregularities are not as easy to spot with the naked eye which is why most dentists require patients to have X-Ray work done on their teeth. As a result of some sleeping patterns, your teeth can shift because of clenching or even abnormal brushing may leave specific spots of your teeth that go untreated or brushed which is why X-Rays will continue to give dentists the most accurate details of each persons tooth alignment and jaw.
Root Canals
- Dental surgeons perform root canal procedures or the endodontic treatment when the blood vessels and internal nerves have been damaged by advanced-stage cavities, severe tooth decay, other trauma or bacteria contamination. Under any of these conditions the teeth will start to ache and the tooth’s nerve needs to be removed from the root canal. The root canal will then be treated, disinfected, cleaned and finally filled with special material.
Pediatric
- It is important for children to learn at a young age that dental care is very important in order for them to understand how hygiene can effect their lives. International Dental Clinic will provide help with all families and children on how to educate patients how to have ideal brushing and flossing techniques to avoid future issues with their teeth and gums.
- Some of the services that we provide include regular teeth cleanings, instructions for children, regular X-Rays to ensure that tooth and bone growth is normal and even check for cavities that are not visible to the naked eye. Other services include sealants to help protect the teeth, coloured fillings for restoration, as well as a variety of different crowns based on the issue at hand.
Family Dentistry
- Almost every medical and dental procedure is possible to restore and enhance a person’s teeth to help boost self-image and self-confidence. Dental care has never seen this much importance and advancements in the past and many different dental procedures especially those that have something to do with improving the appearance of the teeth were not available in the past.
- Regular routine check-ups are important to diagnose, prevent and treat a number of possible diseases, conditions or disorders affecting the teeth and gums. In your first visit, your dentist will check not only the inside of your mouth for any issues with lip, gum, tongue and cheeks, but will also be conscious of any abnormalities around the neck or face as this will also effect your oral care.
- Most dentists request a check-up once every six months to ensure that each patient is receiving proper oral care, hygiene and functionality. Most people who see the dentist every six months often find that they have exceptional dental health. Less frequent visits can allow people to develop serious dental problems. If you smoke frequently, suffer from alcohol abuse, have diabetes or are pregnant are often advised to see the dentist more frequently to avoid gum disease.
- Another reason it is important to see your dentist so often is to make sure that you are administering personal dental procedures with care and properly. Proper brushing, flossing and using mouthwash are all great ways to make sure that your hygiene is kept at the absolute best.
Tooth Extraction and Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, including tooth decay that has destroyed most of the tooth structure and left the tooth non- restorable.
- Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely performed as they can cause jaw bone infection and other future problems.
