Dental Veneers Dubai

Do you stare in the mirror and wonder how perfect a smile you’d have if only that one tooth was the same length as the rest? Do you wish that the gap in your smile didn’t exist? Is there one tooth that looks cracked or discoloured while the others are perfect? Veneers are the answer to all those concerns and more.

Veneers are pretty much minor cosmetic improvement to otherwise healthy teeth. These are thin teeth casings made of steardy and hard porcelain materiel that cover the front and top edges of a single tooth. Veneers are a simple and convenient answer to most cosmetic requirements. Veneers are long lasting, less complex than crowns, perfecting smiles all over the world.

Veneers are now available at Montreal International Clinic. We offer dental veneers in Dubai for those with perfectly healthy teeth, but want to improve the aesthetics of their smile. Veneers are able to add volume to smiles by evening different lengths of teeth. Most often than not, the two front incisors are longer than rest of the teeth and this can be very displeasing to your appearance and can affect your confidence. Veneers are able to add length to the neighboring teeth, transforming your smile drastically for the better.

On many occasions we have that one tooth that is slightly darker than the rest of your teeth. This might become stained from smoking or drinking tea. Veneers permanently seal the discolouration matching the natural colour of the rest of your teeth.

Veneers are generally done in two or three visits at most. The first visit will entail a full dental examination, which includes checking the density of your teeth, taking an x-ray and a dental impression. The teeth in question will be shaved and roughened to make way for the thin casing that will be bonded on. The dentist in Dubai will then make an impression using dental putty (clay mould) and this will help the dental technician to prepare custom made veneers for you. Porcelain is a hard opaque glass and will be tinted to the same shade as your own teeth. Your dentist will fit on temporary veneers to protect your altered tooth, until the final veneers are complete.

On the second visit to the our dental clinic, the temporary veneers are removed and the permanent one is placed on with glue. Your dentist will ask you to smile and bite to ensure that they feel natural. Your teeth may need minor alterations and then the veneer casing is attached with permanent bonding materiel.

The nice thing about veneers is that they are stain resistant and allow you to brush and floss as normal. They are not susceptible to decay, and will last anywhere between 10-15 years.

Veneers are simple solutions to many aesthetic dental concerns. Veneers are painless and a quick fix smile repair. Make an appointment with the Montreal International Clinic at your earliest and have your smile transformed to perfection.

Migraine Management Dubai

For those people who suffer from migraines daily, we are all too familiar with the debilitating effects of migraines. The intense throbbing, and sensitivity to light coupled with nausea and vomiting, migraine headaches are the worst of its kind.

A migraine headache causes intense throbbing sensation in one area of the head, usually above the eyes or ears. Migraine sufferers generally look for quiet dark places to rest, due to the extreme sensitivity to light. Migraines are persistent and do not respond to pain killers like aspirin. Migraines are meant to be managed and can go on for hours and sometimes days. Many patients who suffer from migraines report that sleeping increases the pulsating pain rather than reducing it.

Migraines are sometimes preceded by pulsating pain in the arms and legs, random blackouts and flashes of light.

Migraines are peculiar headaches that lack a single treatment plan. Patient usually report on various methods to manage the headache, using various types of medication and lifestyle changes. Although there isn’t a single pill that is known to treat migraines, everyday pain killers do help reduce the intensity of the headache.

Although little is known about the cause of a migraine headache, environmental triggers and genetics are contributing factors. There is very little research done on the cause and reasons behind migraines, but preliminary research has shown that changes with the interactions between the brainstem and the trigeminal nerve may be a cause. It is said that women are more prone to migraines than men are, and usually experience an episode shortly before or during menstruation, when oestrogen levels are low in a woman’s body. Other chemical imbalances may be a factor as well, including fluctuating serotonin levels; a chemical that regulates your mood and nervous systems. Depression is a common symptom amongst those who suffer from migraine headaches, a result of a lack of serotonin in the body.

Migraines usually have four stages of progression though you may not necessarily experience all of these. Irritability, depression, hyperactivity, and you may experience a pulsating or tingling ache in the arms and legs. The aura stage brings about visual disturbances of blackouts and light flashes. Most people experience this simultaneously with the attack itself. The main attack is what incapacitates patients into dark quiet rooms. Light and noise have excruciating effects on patients who suffer from migraines. The last and final stage is the postdrome stage that leaves patients feeling tired and drained out. Some patients however, feel slightly euphoric and rejuvenated after an episode.

More than 50% of migraine sufferers are never diagnosed and therefore do not seek treatment other than personal management of the condition. Migraine headache have been categorized under progressive disabilities in some western countries, due its debilitating effects.

The Neuro Spinal unit at the Montreal International Clinic in Dubai is a centre specialized in the treatment of migraines. Our Neuro specialists offer continuous treatment for migraine patients who have experienced these types of headaches for years. The key to treating migraine in Dubai is a combination of neuro spinal treatment, lifestyle changes, episode management and personalised care.

Chemical Peels Dubai

For as long as women have existed, silky smooth skin has always been favoured. Throughout ancient times, women have used countless number of natural ingredients to tighten and tone skin so it looked supple and young. In present time, we use most of the same ingredients’ in modern products to achieve the same results.

A chemical peel is much like a facemask, which effectively removes old and dead skin cells revealing fresh new ones underneath. For hundreds of years women have used olive oil, milk, sugar and many other natural ingredients to rejuvenate skin. Milk is actually a form of peel, and was used as a primitive chemical peel dating back to the middle ages. Sugar cane contains glycolic acid, which is a mild form chemical peel.

Chemical peels vary in strength and your Dubai dermatologist will select one that is best suited for your skin type. The procedure for chemical peels is no different from that of a home mask. The only difference is, the chemical peel used by doctors will be of a higher strength giving you immediate results.

The procedure is simple and yet effective, and will take only about 45 minutes to complete. Your face is wiped clean of any residue makeup, and cleansed thoroughly. A chemical peel containing a certain amount of glycolic acid is chosen for you, depending on your desired results. The peel is evenly applied on to the skin and is left on for predetermined time. The peel is neutralized and washed off, leaving rejuvenated skin behind. A good moisturizer is applied to your newly rejuvenated skin.

Some patients do experience a tingling feeling while the chemical peel is on, and some redness after. Skin redness is normal and will pass within a few hours or a day with proper after care. The chemical peel removes dead, hardened, and old skin cells. You will have to take care of your new face, by using a good sunscreen and avoiding the sun as much as possible, until the new skin cells mature. There is usually no downtime, however it is best to avoid wearing makeup for a day.

Chemical peels are widely popular amongst women and is a treatment offered at salons and spas too. However, since chemical peels contain higher concentrations of glycolic acid, it is best to have the treatment done by a qualified dermatologist in Dubai at the Montreal International Clinics. You will have the peace of mind in knowing that a doctor is always available for any adverse reactions.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are usually the last resort for replacing a missing tooth. However, the end result of having a dental implant is impeccable. Dental implant is a titanium metal post that is inserted right into the jawbone, and supports a crown at the top. Implant treatment, can only be conducted by a qualified dental surgeon who has received special training and certification in implantology.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth shaped moulds, made out of either non-reactive metals like silver and gold, or natural coloured hard materials like porcelain and ceramic. These are used in two ways; firstly, they cover a broken or badly shaped tooth, secondly, they are the top visible section of a dental implant.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are made of special material and just like a crown sits over an entire tooth, veneers are pasted to the front visible section. Veneers are only used on teeth that are visible when you smile, and conceal discolouration and unevenness. Veneers are hardened sheets that require some of your teeth to be shaved back, just like retiling a floor. Veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dental treatments. They have the ability to drastically alter your appearance, giving you a Hollywood smile.

Dental Bridges

If you have lost a tooth or two and do not like the idea of wearing removable dentures, a dental bridge is a suitable permanent option for you to consider. Dental bridges are permanently fixed to your dentition, with the help of crowns. A crown is a hollow tooth mould that is pasted over existing teeth, and holds a prosthetic tooth in place. A dental bridge is a set of crowns and prosthetic teeth fused together.

Bonding

Dental bonding is an alternative non-invasive treatment for crooked teeth, and unevenly spaced dentition. If you have gaps between your teeth, dental bonding which is a process of layering teeth with resin sheets, and hardening them at each stage with the help of an activator light. Resin sheets are placed within a minute distance of the tooth’s border, which broadens the width, closing the gaps.

Hair and skin both contain a light sensitive pigment called melanin. The pigments chemical makeup differs slightly from hair to skin, however, the pigment is responsible for giving skin and hair it’s colour. Lighter toned people have less of this pigment present and darker toned people more. This pigment darkens the skin over time, as it absorbed sunlight. This is why darker skinned people get darker in the sun, while lighter toned people mostly go red and return to their normal colour. Laser beams projected onto the area with hair is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which heats it to temperature that permanently damages the hair follicle making it fall off. Laser hair removal is safest on fair skinned individuals with darker hair, as the skin does not absorb the laser beam, while only the hair follicle will. However, laser only heats up the temperature mildly, just enough to damage hair follicles.

Newer technological advances in laser therapy, makes it possible for light brown or Asian skinned individuals to safely, enjoy the benefits of laser hair removal. Hair does have the tendency to grow back after treatment, but not immediately. Generally, you may enjoy hair-free skin for months on end. To be most effective, you will need to have a few treatment sessions, which gradually reduces the length, thickness and colour of unwanted hair. With a few treatments, you may find yourself on the way to hairless skin for life. This depends on your genes and resistance of hair to laser therapy.

Laser hair removal has many advantages to it, the biggest and most obvious one being time saver. Once you have opted for laser hair removal, it is rare for women to return to normal hair removal techniques as they say it saves them time every day. Being hair free for up to six months, means you save an hour each day you shave, or hours trying to wax and use hair removal creams. Laser therapy reduces the thickness and strength of the hair, which greatly reduces the percentage of ingrown hair. With laser hair removal in Dubai, you can enjoy smoother softer looking skin all year round every day.

Many prescription drugs cause hair to fall or thin out. Medications prescribed for High Blood Pressure, Acne, Cholesterol, Depression, Cancer, and Arthritis; to name a few does cause significant hair loss as a side effect.

Medical Conditions

Medical conditions and disorders such as Thyroid problems, alopecia areata, skin infections and diseases such as lichen planus, lupus, and scarring is mostly responsible for permanent hair loss.

Physical

Hair loss can also occur when a person loses weight or is malnourished. Other factors like stress, post traumatic stress disorder, hair products and certain hair styles causes a person to lose hair rapidly. Weak or limp hair breaks off with excessive pulling and/or physical stress.

Varying treatment options are available depending on the cause and amount of hair loss experienced. Topical gels and ointments stimulate hair growth when hair loss occurs due to certain medications, hormonal conditions, or physical reasons. Doctors will also ensure that patients are on the right diet, and prescribe hair growth pills that contain nutrients required for healthy growth. If you lose hair due to a medical condition, or hereditary, hair transplant might be considered.

The skin is a is the largest organ  of the human body and is subject to more damage than any other organ that is within its protection. Unlike the other organs, the skin is responsible for regenerating itself after it is been injured or damaged. Cuts, bruises, burns and pimples or even surgery, leaves skin uneven and patchy. Most scars fade or lessen over time, however when deep or large injury happens, the skin is not able heal itself without leaving a scar.

It is very difficult to remove a scar completely, but there are techniques, which are used to reduce the size and appearance.

Why do scars happen?

Scars are signs that your skin is in good health and is able to repair itself after injury. Our skin has a huge responsibility to protect the organs within, from infections and the environment Therefore, when any injury occurs to the skin, it repairs itself with scar tissue. However, most often than not, the scar will stand out depending on the type of injury and how deep the abrasion is. Other factors that affect the healing process are your age, ethnicity, sex, genes, and the treatment used immediately after injury.

What are the different types of scarring?

Scars happen for many reasons, including bites, injections, burns, scratches, cuts, surgery, and bruises.

Keloid Scars – Keloids are lifted bumpy surface scarring that changes the texture and smoothness of your skin. This happens due to aggressive healing, extending beyond the injured area. Keloid scars affects the skin’s functions and are capable of hampering movement. It is important that you consult a dermatologist immediately after injury and apply pressure to the injury to prevent the scar from rising above the surface area. Keloid scarring is common with darker skinned individuals.

Contracture scars – These are scars appear after a severe burn and the skin tightens possibly impairing movement itself. The depth of a contracture scar depends, on the severity of the injury, and normal functioning of muscles and nerves, can be affected, in some cases.

• Hypertrophic scars – These scars appear as raised red bumps above your skin and look similar to large non-infectious pimples. Hypertrophic scars will only cover the area of injury and will not spread beyond the injured area.

Acne scarring – if you are an individual who has had severe acne as a child, it is most likely that the pimples leave deep pits or tiny bumps on the surface of your face. There are many types of treatment available for pimple scars and your dermatologist will explore the best options for you. It is always wise to see a doctor about the acne as soon as the symptoms are visible to ensure the right treatment is applied during the healing process.

What Treatment options are available for Scars?

A dermatologist at your skin clinic in Dubai will first analyze your scars and find a suitable treatment option that will minimize the appearance of your scar. Treatments range from non-invasive to invasive methods depending on the type of the scarring. Options include:

• Prescription and non-prescription creams and gels. – Over the counter creams and gels are available for acne scars and bruises which will lessen the scar tissue preventing infection. It is important that infection is prevented to allow your skin to repair itself properly. Antihistamine and steroid creams are used for itchy or very sensitive small and shallow scars. Always see a good dermatologist as soon injury has occurred as your doctor will be able to prevent infection and severe scarring if consulted early on.

Scars from acne, or burns can be treated with laser surgery dermabrasion which removes the first level of damaged skin, allowing the skin to heal again properly under medical supervision. Skin grafting (skin transplant) is considered for large prominent surface scars that cannot be concealed under clothes or make up. Skin from the buttox of thigh area is removed and transplanted to the area of concern.
