DENTAL CARE FOR KIDS IN THIKA
DOVE DENTAL CLINIC IS YOUR CHILDREN’S DENTIST IN THIKA – KIAMBU. WE OFFER YOU THE FULL RANGE OF PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY. WITH US, YOUR CHILD IS IN GOOD HANDS
Dr Waweru, the lead dentist at Dove Dental Clinic is well prepared for a large number of treatment options. Treatment of children is our heart’s concern! Over the past years, we have performed countless treatments and mastered our craft. But it is just as important to take the little ones by the hand and give them a sense of security so that they feel comfortable at the pediatric
dentist.
At our initial meeting, we build the important relationship between the child and the practitioner. This is how we lay the foundation for future anxiety-free dentist visits and set up a solid and long term relationship between the child and dentist. We do a check-up, prepare the necessary documents, go through the treatment plan together and answer your questions. After this, the treatment can be started.
Dove Dental Clinic therefore recommends starting early with a check-up at the pediatric dentist. Why? So that, for example, decays or problems with misaligned teeth can be detected and recognized early and possible solutions can be worked out. We work extremely transparently and you will always receive a cost estimate, which we will discuss together so that you know exactly what to expect.
We recommend an initial visit to the dentist at the first birthday. This way, our little patients and their parents can get to know pediatric dentistry in a calm and child-friendly environment. And at the age of two, baby teeth have normally emerged fully.
Do not hesitate to ask any questions about your child’s diet and daily oral hygiene at home – we are glad to advise you even as soon as the first baby tooth has erupted.
Contact us for a consultation as we will be happy to answer your questions and explain what Dove Dental Clinic offers.

Restorative Dentistry Experts in Thika
RESTORATIVE PROCEDURES include cavity fillings, root canals, and even dental implants. The goal in restorative dentistry is to restore the function and appearance of the teeth. Some of the restorative procedures we offer at Dove Dental Clinic are:
Cavity Filling
When bacteria burrow into the enamel (the hard outer layer) of your tooth and create a hole (known as a cavity) it needs to be filled to protect the soft pulp inside. At Dove Dental Clinic, in a cavity filling procedure, we will remove the damaged part of the tooth and fill the hole with a material that is the same color as your tooth. This filling will prevent the bacteria from continuing to infect the tooth.
Root Canals
When bacteria burrow into the enamel (the hard outer layer) of your tooth and create a hole (known as a cavity) it needs to be filled to protect the soft pulp inside. At Dove Dental Clinic, in a cavity filling procedure, we will remove the damaged part of the tooth and fill the hole with a material that is the same color as your tooth. This filling will prevent the bacteria from continuing to infect the tooth.
Crowns
When a tooth becomes damaged in some way, whether from severe decay or a crack or break in the tooth, it can be reinforced with a crown (otherwise known as a cap). In a crown placement procedure at Dove Dental Clinic, the top part of the tooth is shaved down and the crown is placed over the top. The crown looks and functions just like your natural tooth and the natural root remains in place.
Bridge
A dental bridge is an artificial tooth that is suspended between two crowns. Sometimes a bridge consists of a row of multiple teeth. The bridge is held in place by crowns placed over the existing teeth on either side of the bridge, or by dental implants. The bridge has a replacement tooth that sits on top of the gum but doesn’t include a root.
Dentures
If you don’t have enough healthy teeth in your mouth to function properly, dentures are a replacement option. Removable dentures can be attached to the gums via suction or adhesives. Implant-supported dentures (also known as snap-on dentures) are held in place by a few dental implants placed in the jaw.
Periodontal Care
Periodontal disease is a fairly common dental issue and its symptoms include swollen or bleeding gums while brushing or flossing your teeth. If it goes untreated, infection can spread and lead to bigger problems. At Dove Dental Clinic, we offer treatment options to bring your teeth and gums back to health.

DENTAL FILLINGS IN JUJA, KIAMBU
Dove Dental Clinic offers DENTAL FILLINGS a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere for patients, young and old for residence of Thika, Juja and the entire Kiambu County. Strategically based in Thika Town, we can be easily accessed by our clients from every corner of the county.
Dental Fillings is a restorative way of repairing damaged tooth, caused by fracture, deterioration or decay. The most common type of dental restoration is fillings.
We do fillings to replace a broken piece of the tooth or by removing the decayed part of the tooth back and restore it to its normal shape so that it can function as normal again. We replace the missing structure with a composite resin material that restores the tooth's function and strength, and prevents any bacteria from entering the tooth's structure. We can also make composite resins that match the colour of the existing tooth to increase the aesthetic appearance.
Benefits of Fillings:
• Improve tooth functionality
• Improve tooth structure
• They can protect your tooth for years
• Fillings can prevent infections
How would you know if you need a filling?
Generally, any chipped or broken teeth should be a reason for you to seek advice as these teeth need to be repaired to restore them back to normal and ensure no bacteria can accumulate inside the tooth. At Dove Dental Clinic, we will also be able to check for cavities that need to be filled during your biannual check-up. If decay or a fracture has damaged a large portion of the tooth, a crown, or cap, may be recommended instead.

DENTAL IMPLANTS IN THIKA
For Per permanent DENTAL IMPLANTS IN THIKA, the excellent alternative to dentures, that are naturally looking and allowing you to utilize your full bite and enjoy the foods you love while giving you back your smile and confidence, talk to us at Dove Dental. The translucency of our ceramics that we use ensures that the dental prosthesis looks like a real tooth, like in conventional crowns and offers brilliant hardness and resilience to wear and tear.
At Dove Dental Clinic we professionally perform dental implants in cases of single tooth replacement. In such a case, one implant and a crown can replace the lost natural tooth as well as its root, without compromising the health of teeth on either side. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping keep the bone healthy and intact. A single implant looks natural, is strong and easy to clean while making a significant difference to your smile.
Dental implants provide several advantages over other teeth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported full bridges or dentures are designed to be long lasting. Implant-supported full bridges and dentures not only help preserve jaw bone, but are more comfortable and stable than conventional dentures, allowing you to retain a more natural biting and chewing capacity.
We professionally perform DENTAL IMPLANTS to replace missing teeth by ensuring that it does not affect the adjacent teeth like a bridge does. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, and are more secure than removable dentures. In cases where you are missing multiple teeth, or all of your teeth, we use dental implants in conjunction with bridges or dentures to make these tooth replacements more secure.
Oral care tips for Dental Implants
Dental implants have a 98% success rate and can last up to 25 years if well cared for.
• Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day
• Ensure you floss daily
• Use mouthwash diligently to avoid infection
• See your dentist or oral hygienist regularly for checkups and professional teeth cleaning
• Avoid chewing hard foods, ice or other hard objects to prevent damage to your new implant
In our hands you will feel at home, whether you are visiting for regular cleanups and fillings or for new look makeovers. We are here to ensure that you always have a healthy, radiant smile as we build a new smile for you through dental implants.

COST OF BRACES IN THIKA
Many people with crooked or unaligned teeth challenges in Thika town and the larger Kiambu County ask; what is the average cost of getting a brace? At Dove Dental Clinic, we offer affordable braces for you.
First, what is Braces for Teeth?
Dental braces are a way of aligning, straightening or moving your teeth, to improve overlapping or crooked teeth on how they look and how they work.
So, how much do braces cost in Thika?
The costs of braces do vary considerably, depending on the type, underlying condition, the prescribed treatment by orthodontics, the appliances used and the specialised nature of the treatment used for your braces. More severe cases of misaligned teeth need more specialized braces, which will impact on the cost. Worry not. We offer various dental braces, depending on preferences and underlying conditions, at the most affordable rates.
Types of Dental Braces we offer include
• Lingual
• Ceramic braces
• Inman aligners
• Invisible braces
• Friction-free
• Damon Metal or Ceramic with brackets bonded to the teeth
Some also ask, how long does it take for teeth to move with braces?
Depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as 6 months. But you will start seeing results in a matter of weeks. Braces move your teeth every day. However, noticeable minor shifts in your teeth take approximately 4 weeks from bonding date. Greater and more significant shifts that are more visible require more time as they become noticeable after approximately 2 to 3 months.
How about, at what age can one get braces?
There is actually no age limit for someone to get braces. Orthodontists, as dental professionals, are keen on patients having healthy jaw bone and permanent teeth to have dental braces fitted.
Which braces are the cheapest?
Metal braces tend to be the cheapest form of brace. Invisalign, the clear alternative to metal braces for kids, teens, and adults does tend to be a bit more expensive. Though expensive, invisalign clear aligners are more preferable since they have no restrictions on what one can eat while in treatment. Invisalign are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all, unlike with traditional wires and brackets, where there is a long list of foods you unfortunately cannot enjoy because they can damage or get stuck in your braces.
Your new smile is around the corner! Get ready to get started. Make appointment with us to see and experience real-time success story!

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IN THIKA
What Is the Cost of a Root Canal?
The cost of root canals varies depending on which tooth is being treated and/or what type of restoration is used. For example, a root canal on a front tooth is not the same price as a root canal on a back molar. Similarly, getting a porcelain and metal crown doesn’t cost the same as an all-porcelain crown. Once we have brought you in for an endodontic consultation and examined your case, we are happy to give you a cost estimate.
At Dove Dental Clinic, we provide gentle root canals to relieve your discomfort, get rid of the infection, and save your tooth. Many patients are concerned that root canal treatment will be painful, but the fact is it’s a common procedure that’s as routine as getting a filling. Don’t let the myths floating around about root canals scare you away from taking care of your dental wellbeing. Our team can get your dental health back to great condition!
We Do Root Canal Therapy
Nobody wants to get the news that they need a root canal. But if you do need one, it’s for good reason. When you don’t take care of a tooth infection, it can spread into your gums and your jawbone - not to mention the infection can also be extremely painful. Eventually, it can get so bad that the only solution left is a tooth extraction.
If you start to have a toothache, feel temperature sensitivity, notice changes in your gums; such as swelling, tenderness, bleeding, etc, or see that your tooth has become darker or gray, please come to see us so we can determine if you need root canal therapy. Infection can start from a deep cavity, a crack or chip, large fillings, dental trauma, or repeated dental procedures.
So if your tooth is injured or has severe decay, the pulp can be damaged and the blood vessels may die, resulting in a “dead” tooth which is likely to get infected because this will lead to the bacteria getting trapped in your tooth since it is no longer protected by your immune system. This leads to pain and swelling; and causes damage to the bone around your tooth, leading to the extraction of the whole tooth if the infected tissue is not treated.
Come to the experts to professionally solve your root canal problems at Dove Dental Clinic.

Fluoride Treatment in Kenya
A lot of people ask, is fluoride application helpful in preventing tooth decay?
Well, fluoride application has played an essential role in oral health treatment for decades. Fluoride supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums; and equally helpful to those at high risk of developing dental caries, or cavities. When chemically incorporated in the teeth, fluoride hardens the enamel, making it resistant to demineralization, which is the leading cause of tooth decay and cavities.
At Dove Dental Clinic, based in Thika town, we offer generally safe complete Fluoride treatments. We are sensitive to extremely rare cases where a patient has an allergic reaction to the fluoride. Fluoride toothpaste being is very effective in preventing tooth decay, we offer professional advice to our patients on the amount of fluoride in toothpaste ie 1350ppm to 1500ppm in children, that is usually enough to reduce decay. But when children ages 8 and under are exposed to too much fluoride, they can develop what is known as dental fluorosis, which causes white speckling or pitting on tooth surfaces.
Is fluoride recommended for adults?
Fluoride, in both toothpaste and drinking water, is beneficial to People of all ages. However, the amount of fluoride a person uses should be tailored to factors including age, stage of growth and development and risk for dental decay. Scientific evidence indicates that optimum levels of fluoride in drinking water can reduce cavities by 30 percent. Not only can fluoride strengthen teeth to prevent future decay, it can also help to arrest early decay, thus preventing the need to fill a tooth. Adults do benefit from fluoride because as they age, their teeth weaken, making them more susceptible to decay.
What is fluoride found in?
Fluoride tends to accumulate in a mixture of both healthy and unhealthy foods including tea, coffee, shellfish, grapes (raisins, wine, grape juice), artificial sweeteners, sodas, potatoes, baby foods, stews, and hot cereals made with tap water.
