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.
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.
- Out dentist and surgeon will provide with care a painless procedure with help of our friendly staff who will follow up with a phone call the following day to make sure you are feeling ok.

- Full mouth reconstruction (this is not yet there but I think is also interesting work people are looking for).
- It is sometime necessary to restore teeth, gums, bones and the jaw in case of the major teeth loss; severe wear of the teeth and infections. In these cases full mouth reconstruction is necessary to give back the healthy mouth to the patient.
