Camilleri Dental Medical Clinic is one of Malta’s longest standing group of family practices. Established in 1960 we have evolved into one of the country’s leading private specialist dental practices and we pride ourselves in maintaining high standards of work in a fully modernised environment.
Orthodontic treatment is carried out by an orthodontist and is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can also help to look after the long-term health of the teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all the teeth. As one of Malta's leading dental clinics, we provide removable or fixed braces, lingual braces and aligners.
The Paediatric Dentist is a specialist who is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through to teenage years. They are trained to understand children and infants and know how to examine and make children comfortable during their visit. Their treatments include infant oral health checks, preventive dental care, habit counselling, management of gum diseases and much more. Contact our dental clinic and get an appointment for your child.
Oral surgeons are specialised dentists. Their area of expertise is in oral surgery which investigates and manages various health aspects of the mouth. This branch of dentistry includes various procedures many of us are already familiar with such as tooth extractions, corrective jaw surgery, lesion removal and biopsy, impacted wisdom tooth removal, cleft palates, detection and treatment of disease and more. Oral surgery is also used for the treatment of oral cancer.
The practice of implant dentistry requires expertise in planning, surgery and tooth restoration. Dental implants are used to support false teeth, fill gaps or replace dental roots in cases where the teeth have been badly damaged. Dental implants are essentially mounts which your dentist will place directly into your jawbone by means of a metal post or frame which is carefully positioned. Implants have an extremely high success rate.
Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression. Dentistry is no longer just a case of filling and extracting teeth, as it was for many years. Nowadays, many people turn to cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry’, as a way of improving their appearance.
Suddenly find yourself in pain? Is your tooth ache killing you? Do you need a dentist to see you as soon as possible? Our clinic offers patients a special emergency treatment service whereby we strive to accommodate patients when urgent matters related to their teeth suddenly crop up. If you do find yourself in pain, contact our Sliema clinic and we try our very best to see you. Note that we provide emergency services only during office hours.
