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.
