9 Fantastic Reasons to Visit an Intercare Dental Clinic Today

At Intercare, we believe our quality healthcare services delivered through innovative wellness centres across South Africa are a major contributor to healthy surrounding communities. Our network of state-of-the-art facilities has also, over the years, expanded to include services other than visits to a general practitioner. With us, you have access to everything from pathology and X-rays to world-class dentistry. If you are currently seeking a nearby dentist or dental clinic, our dental departments offer an extensive range of services at an affordable rate. You can also rely on us for professionalism, friendliness, and support during your journey to overall wellness. Below, we explore nine reasons to visit your nearest Intercare dental clinic today.

Our Online Booking System is Easy

Busy or unclear phone lines and clerical errors make booking for a dental appointment a sometimes-frustrating task. Some people distrust this process so much that they would prefer to travel to a dental clinic and schedule their appointment in person. Fortunately, we at Intercare understand that an easy and convenient booking system is important for patients seeking medical attention, especially when it’s rather urgent. This is why we have implemented an online booking system that only requires a few of your details, your selected branch, a chosen dentist, and that you select a timeslot. Cancelling this appointment is just as easy and can be done online, and you will be sent a reminder confirmation of your booking through SMS or email.

We Have an Experienced Team of Dental Experts

There is nothing worse than having work done on your mouth, only to realise two weeks later that the procedure or treatment was unsuccessful. For this very reason, the best dental experts often get a bad rap due to the shoddy work of a less experienced or unprofessional dentist. For us at the Intercare Group, it is essential that our team of dental professionals display, at all times, expertise, in-depth knowledge, compassionate care, as well as respect for every patient. We encourage our patients to offer feedback on their experience with us to help us improve on our service delivery.

We Boast Fully Fledged Dental Departments

A dentist can only work with the tools they are given, which is why we ensure our dental departments are fully equipped to handle everything from routine care to emergency dental work. From X-rays and radiography to customised treatment options, you can trust us to care for you, no matter what your oral health needs may be.

We Offer a Wide Range of Services

Unlike other dental clinics who only offer routine care services, you can trust us for specialised care that includes:

Preventative treatment plans and programmes customised to the patient’s needs

  • Radiography and X-rays
  • Orthodontics and treating issues concerning tooth and jaw alignment
  • Dental implants
  • Endodontic procedures such as root canals
  • Oral surgery
  • Periodontics and treatments of conditions like gum disease
  • Full dental rehabilitations and prosthetics

Our dental clinics also offer a range of oral hygiene services such as: Preventative care to avoid future dental problems

  • Teeth cleaning, scaling, root planing, and polishing teeth
  • De-banding braces
  • Teeth whitening procedures
  • Retainers, gum guards, and occlusal protectors to protect teeth
  • Maintenance programmes tailored to each patient’s needs

Trust Us for Routine Care Throughout the Year

We are available for those routine check-ups that help to prevent cavities, gingivitis, and other oral health conditions. Here, teeth are assessed and examined, and treatment plans are developed to correct any issues before they become problems. Routine prophylactic treatment is also applied in order to prevent disease and maintain strong teeth and healthy gums. These routine checks are recommended for everyone, but those prone to plaque build-up, smokers, and patients with weak and brittle teeth are especially encouraged to book an appointment with their Intercare dentist.Kids Are Welcome Too

Children’s dentistry needs are not the same as adult dentistry. Children, for example, often don’t realise something is amiss in their mouths until pain appears. They also lose their baby teeth and grow new, adult teeth in their place. Not only is it essential that your child feels comfortable with a dentist from an early age, but preventative care from those fundamental years will ensure that they have healthy teeth during their adult lives. Our dentists will also teach you how to develop healthy oral habits with your children and what products to use that are best suited to their needs.

We Will Answer All Your Questions

Most people have one or two concerns about their oral health and often leave these too late before they visit a dentist. This might include issues such as tooth sensitivity, bad breath (halitosis), headaches or jaw pain, a dull ache in a tooth, or even a change in tongue texture and colour. While certain issues do sometimes resolve on their own, they can also be early warning signs of disease that severely negatively impacts one’s quality of life. Booking an appointment at a dental clinic will give you the peace of mind that your oral health is taken care of by a professional.

We Can Help You Kick Those Bad Habits

Dentists can determine what bad habits a patient might have depending upon the state of their teeth. Sometimes, these habits don’t even occur consciously. Bruxism (grinding or gnashing teeth) can happen while a patient is asleep and is incredibly damaging to teeth. Other habits such as smoking or chewing tobacco, consuming too many acidic foods and drinks, overbrushing or brushing too hard, and chewing on hard objects like ice or pencils are also detrimental to your oral health. Your dentist will pinpoint these issues and help you figure out ways to protect your teeth instead.

Our Services Are Affordable

Lastly, we aim to keep our rates for private patients as reasonable as possible because we believe that dental care should be accessible and affordable. If you would like to find out more about our consultation and procedure rates, you are free to contact us to find out more.
