Some dental needs go beyond routine check-ups, fillings, or cosmetic enhancements. Whether you are dealing with misaligned teeth that affect your confidence and your bite, or you are living with the daily challenges of one or more missing teeth, specialised dental treatment can be genuinely life-changing — restoring not just your oral health, but your comfort, your confidence, and your overall quality of life.

We serve patients of all ages from Boralesgamuwa, Piliyandala, Dehiwala, Maharagama, Kohuwala, Moratuwa, and across the greater Colombo region — providing access to specialist-level dental care in a warm, welcoming, and conveniently located clinic.
Orthodontics — Braces & Clear Aligners
A straight, well-aligned smile is about far more than aesthetics. Misaligned teeth — a condition clinically known as malocclusion — can make effective cleaning difficult, leading to a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease. They can cause uneven wear on tooth surfaces, lead to jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, contribute to difficulties with chewing and speaking, and even affect the way you breathe.
Orthodontic treatment corrects these issues by gradually and precisely guiding your teeth into their ideal positions — improving both the appearance and the function of your smile simultaneously. At Clear Care Dental, we offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic solutions tailored to suit patients of all ages, from children and teenagers to adults who are discovering that it is never too late to invest in a straighter smile.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic treatments available, particularly for more complex alignment cases and bite corrections. Modern metal braces are significantly smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than the braces of previous generations. Metal braces consist of small brackets bonded to the surface of each tooth, connected by a thin archwire that is periodically adjusted to apply gentle, progressive pressure in the desired direction. They are an excellent choice for patients with complex orthodontic needs and those looking for the most cost-effective orthodontic solution available.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work in exactly the same way as traditional metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear ceramic brackets instead of metal ones — making them far less noticeable and a popular choice for older teenagers and adults who want the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance. The ceramic material is carefully colour-matched to blend with the natural shade of your teeth, so the brackets are significantly less visible in everyday life — in conversation, in photographs, and in professional settings.
Clear Aligners
For patients seeking the most discreet possible orthodontic solution, clear aligners represent a remarkable advancement in modern dentistry. Clear aligners are a series of custom-fabricated, virtually invisible removable trays that fit snugly over your teeth and apply gentle, precise pressure to move them progressively into their ideal positions — completely without brackets, wires, or the dietary restrictions associated with fixed braces.
Each set of aligners is worn for a prescribed period — typically one to two weeks — before being replaced with the next set in the series. The aligners are removable, meaning you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss — maintaining your normal oral hygiene routine without any of the challenges that come with fixed appliances. Because they are virtually invisible when worn, clear aligners are particularly popular with working professionals, university students, and adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly.
Dental Implants — The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
Losing a tooth — whether through decay, gum disease, injury, or extraction — is an experience that affects far more than your smile. A missing tooth changes the way you eat, the way you speak, and the way you feel about yourself. Over time, the gap left by a missing tooth can cause neighbouring teeth to gradually shift out of position, alter your bite, lead to bone loss in the jaw, and change the shape of your face. Dental implants are widely and universally recognised as the gold standard solution for replacing missing teeth — and for very good reason.
How Dental Implants Work
A dental implant consists of three components working together seamlessly. The implant itself is a small, precision-engineered titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. Titanium is used because of its remarkable biocompatibility — the jawbone naturally fuses with the titanium surface over a period of weeks to months in a process called osseointegration, creating an incredibly strong, stable foundation that functions just like a natural tooth root.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the top of the implant post. Finally, a custom-crafted dental crown — fabricated to match the precise shape, size, and shade of your surrounding natural teeth — is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration. At Clear Care Dental, the crowns used to complete dental implant restorations are custom-fabricated in our on-site dental laboratory, ensuring exceptional fit, superior aesthetics, and outstanding quality.
Why Dental Implants Are the Superior Choice
- Permanent solution — fixed firmly in the jaw, never moving or slipping, no adhesives required
- Preserve your jawbone — the implant stimulates the jawbone during normal function, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure
- Protect your remaining teeth — a dental implant stands completely independently, with no impact on adjacent teeth
- Restore complete function — eat virtually anything with biting force comparable to a natural tooth
- Can last a lifetime — with proper care and regular check-ups, the implant post itself can last for decades
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. The key requirements are sufficient jawbone density to support the implant, healthy gums free from active periodontal disease, and good general health. At Clear Care Dental, every implant patient begins with a thorough assessment including clinical examination, detailed X-rays, and a comprehensive review of your medical and dental history — allowing us to determine whether implants are the right solution for you and to plan your treatment with complete precision and safety.
In cases where bone loss has occurred following tooth extraction, bone grafting procedures may be recommended to rebuild sufficient bone volume before implant placement. Our team will discuss all of these considerations with you openly and clearly during your consultation.
Your health. Your smile. Our commitment. — Clear Care Dental, Boralesgamuwa.
