Aligners are clear, custom-made trays that are worn over the teeth to gradually move them into proper alignment.

Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only when eating, drinking, or practicing oral hygiene. Consistent wear is crucial to ensure the desired progress and achieve optimal results.
Braces are devices used to align teeth and improve bite issues. They are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth.
Yes, you can eat normally with braces, but it's important to avoid hard, sticky, and sugary foods that can damage the braces or affect the teeth.
The treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case, but it typically takes 12-24 months.

You will need to visit the orthodontist every 4-8 weeks for adjustments and check-ups.

The process of getting a crown and bridge typically takes two to three appointments over the course of several weeks. At your first appointment, your dentist will prepare your tooth for the crown and take an impression of your mouth. At your second appointment, you will receive a temporary crown or bridge while your permanent restoration is being fabricated. At your final appointment, your permanent crown or bridge will be cemented in place.
A crown and bridge is a dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. A crown is a cap that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth to protect it and restore its shape, size, and strength. A bridge is a dental appliance that uses one or more crowns to replace one or more missing teeth, with the crowns on either side of the gap serving as anchors for the replacement tooth or teeth.
You may need a crown and bridge if you have a damaged or decayed tooth that cannot be treated with a simple filling, or if you have one or more missing teeth that you would like to replace. Crowns and bridges can restore the appearance, function, and health of your smile, and Borneo Dental Centre offers affordable dentistry with high quality.
It's recommended to have a dental screening every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you have a history of dental problems.
The cost of a dental screening varies depending on the complexity of the case. At Borneo Dental Centre, we offer affordable dental screenings with high-quality results.
During a dental screening, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth, take x-rays, and clean your teeth.
A dental screening is a routine check-up to assess your oral health and detect any potential problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer.

Borneo Dental Centre offers affordable dentistry with high quality, ensuring that you receive the best possible care for your needs.
An extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. Extractions are typically performed when a tooth is damaged beyond repair, or if there is not enough room in the mouth for all the teeth.
You may need an extraction if you have a severely damaged or decayed tooth that cannot be saved, if you have impacted wisdom teeth, or if you have overcrowding in your mouth. Extractions can also be performed to prepare for orthodontic treatment or as part of a larger dental treatment plan.
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to save a damaged or infected tooth. It involves removing the infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth and filling the cavity with a special material to protect the remaining healthy tooth structure.
You may need a root canal treatment if you have a deep cavity, a cracked or broken tooth, or if you have developed an abscess or infection in the roots of your tooth. Root canal treatment can help to relieve pain and prevent the spread of infection, while also preserving the health and function of your tooth.
The length of time it takes to get a root canal treatment depends on the severity of the damage or infection and the complexity of the case. Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments, with each appointment lasting one to two hours.

Scaling is a cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from the teeth, above and below the gum line.
Scaling may cause some discomfort or sensitivity, but it's usually not painful. If you have sensitive teeth, your dentist may recommend using a numbing agent.
It's recommended to have scaling done every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you have gum disease.
The cost of scaling varies depending on the complexity of the case. At Borneo Dental Centre, we offer affordable scaling with high-quality results.
Your dentist will be able to diagnose if you need to have your wisdom teeth removed during a regular check-up or X-ray. They will also assess if you have enough space in your mouth for your wisdom teeth to emerge without causing problems.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically develop in the late teenage years or early adulthood.
The process of wisdom tooth removal varies depending on the location and position of the tooth. In some cases, a simple extraction may be possible, while in other cases, a more complex surgical procedure may be necessary. Your dentist will discuss the options with you and recommend the best course of action.
Wisdom teeth can cause problems when they become impacted, which means they do not have enough space to fully emerge from the gum line. This can lead to pain, infection, crowding, and other oral health issues.
