State-of-the-art Dental Clinics
What Should You Expect from Your Family’s Dental Clinic?
It may be far from being everyone’s favourite destination; however, if you have ever experienced a painful molar, emerging wisdom teeth, or have come off second best in an encounter with a bulky front-row forward, then you have probably been grateful for the attention you received at a dental clinic.
Long gone are the days when the sole remedy for an aching tooth was to extract it and, as well as performing other minor surgeries, the task was the job of a barber. Today, dentistry is a profession, and the men and women who practice it are highly qualified healthcare specialists. Even so, those from past generations who may have required the services of a qualified dentist would almost certainly be overawed to see how progress in technology has led to the improved treatments and advanced new equipment that have since become the norm for a 21st-century dental clinic.
Even though new techniques and improved local anaesthetics have done much to allay such concerns, the fear of pain still prevents many from attending the 6-monthly check-ups that most dentists recommend. All too often, it is only when the damage has been done and the resulting pain has become unbearable that a visit to the dentist is seen as the lesser of two evils.
Intercare is a private healthcare group that is quick to embrace any new technology that is of benefit to its patients – a strategy that is evident in each of its state-of-the-art dental clinics. As is the case with the group’s medical centres and day hospitals, the emphasis is on providing a holistic facility that is designed to cater for all the needs associated with a given healthcare discipline – in this case, dentistry.
Each of Intercare’s facilities is staffed and equipped to provide a full spectrum of treatments. These range from basic dental care to the more specialised forms of dentistry such as orthodontics, oral and gum surgery, endodontics, and implant surgery. In addition, services such as scaling and polishing, debanding of braces, teeth whitening and providing occlusal protectors are available at each Intercare dental clinic from a qualified dental hygienist.
More importantly, in cases of a genuine emergency, an Intercare patient may simply walk into their usual facility and receive treatment without the need to first make an appointment. Combined with its easy, online booking application, this convenient and extensive menu of services is just one more facet of the group’s core policy of ensuring its services, whether at a primary-care medical centre, a day hospital, or a dental clinic are both patient-centric and readily accessible when they are most needed.
