Kitcha Dental Clinic works on a consultation-and-treatment system. Each part of your dental care is seen by, or referred to, a dentist with training in that area. Our dentists treat only within the areas they are qualified and experienced in, and complex cases are reviewed with the relevant specialist before a definitive treatment plan is confirmed.
This ensures that all our patients at Kitcha Dental Clinic dental center receives proper and experienced dental care each time. You may therefore see different dentists during the same or at different visits, each dental specialist addressing each portion of your dental treatment needs. If you know your work is complicated, please do always feel free to approach our co-ordinators who are readily available to service you at all times.
Checkup, Consultation And Treatment Planning
During your first visit, your dentist will discuss any current concerns with you and carry out a general oral examination. If a more thorough evaluation is needed for particular teeth or areas, an X-ray may be taken to check beneath the tooth surfaces and gums. At Kitcha Dental Clinic in Chiang Mai, digital X-ray imaging, an intraoral camera and other diagnostic equipment support a more precise and accurate oral diagnosis.
After the diagnosis, your dentist draws up a treatment plan. The plan sets out the treatment options available for your specific case and is individualised to you.
Teeth Cleaning, Scaling And Polishing
Professional teeth cleaning, scaling and polishing is recommended bi-annually or every 6 months to maintain your oral health and keep you smiling. Calculus and accumulated bacteria on teeth are common causes tooth decay or gum disease. During teeth cleaning, scaling and polishing with your dentist, hard tartar are scrapped off by scalers curettes.
Your dentist is able to remove stains off teeth surfaces by:
- conventional handpiece : using a scaler and rotating brushing head
- AirFlow® teeth cleaning: using high-speed waterjet and air with powder
Dental prophylaxis teeth cleaning, scaling and polishing normally takes just 30 minutes.
Dental Fillings
If you have tooth decay, your dentist removes the decay and restores the tooth with a filling. Two basic types of filling are used for treating dental caries:
- Traditional silver amalgam fillings
- Composite resin, tooth-coloured fillings
Kitcha Dental Clinic is an amalgam-free clinic and uses composite resin, tooth-coloured fillings.
Many people now choose to replace silver amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured fillings for better aesthetics and to remove metal components. Protocols for the safe removal of amalgam fillings — including the use of rubber dams and an external oxygen source — are also available on request at Kitcha Dental Clinic.
FLUORIDE DENTAL TREATMENT
Done as a preventive treatment, fluoride dental treatment is used to prevent tooth decay, slow it down, or stops tooth decay from worsening. Fluoride treatment is normally done during routine checkup to your dentists especially for children and adults at risks of tooth decay.
Fluoride dental treatment is quick and completed in one visit. If unsure on your child’s fluoride in-take, how you can protect your child from fluorosis or what are fluorosis treatment available, consult our dentists.
DENTAL SEALANT TREATMENT
Like fluoride treatment, dental sealants are used to help prevent tooth decay. Sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the grooves and chewing surfaces of the premolar and molar teeth.
Dental sealant treatment is quick, comfortable and usually completed in a single visit. It is most often applied in pediatric dentistry when a child’s molar teeth erupt. Adults who have not had sealants can also benefit from them to help reduce the risk of cavities. Sealant for a baby tooth is THB 700; a preventive resin restoration is THB 1,000 (prices current as of 1 July 2026).
