Our work methodology: the 7 Ts Treatment Concept

With 24 years of experience in diagnosing, analysing and treating complex oral health problems, most of which are deeply connected to general health issues, at the White Clinic we use a simple treatment philosophy that ensures comprehensive results. It all starts and ends with the 7 Ts – Test, Target, Think, Talk, Treat, Transform, Thrive.

Our dentistry clinic in Lisbon uses the latest science and digital technology to go beyond treating just teeth, contemplating the immune system and systemic health. This begins with a comprehensive first consultation, followed by a personalised diagnosis that is tailored to heal the body, starting with the mouth. All dental protocols start by treating inflammation and toxicity in the mouth, using 100% biocompatible materials, in a metal-free and metal-safe environment, in order to achieve solid aesthetic and clinical results. And leading the way is the 7 Ts treatment concept designed by our very own Dr. Miguel Stanley.

Test

A full array of diagnostic tests are performed, in order to understand the patient’s health baseline and what specific supplementation they may be requiring. We run blood tests and DNA tests with national and international laboratories. This means the prescribed treatment is not based on opinion, but rather on facts.

Target

Facts are then connected to personal history and experience. Speaking to the patient is crucial so as to really understand what the focus of their concern is and cross-check that with their medical history, their dental history, as well as the results from their blood tests.

Think

Once all the information has been processed, our team designs the most comprehensive therapy strategy possible, idealising the best sequence of treatment over the ideal time frame for optimal outcome. We also take into account the minimum number of visits to the dental clinic and the least incurring costs.

Talk

Time for another open and honest conversation: together we sit down with the patient to communicate the strategy we’ve devised, all associated costs and the expected time frame for treatment. Everything is presented in a crystal-clear manner and, alongside understanding the risks and rewards of all the decisions made, must be agreed upon by all involved parties.

Treat

Treatment begins and can combine a series of therapies, from basic IVs to a combination of ozone therapy and intravenous laser with other procedures. Our team always takes the time to understand what the patient’s body really needs to heal and to promote longevity. That is why we go beyond the dental aspects of diagnosis, using a 360º comprehensive, interdisciplinary and biological approach.

Transform

We do not advocate one-size fits all dental treatments, we advocate personalised comprehensive protocols. This means that we are constantly monitoring progress with regular blood tests and adapting therapy accordingly. Each patient is unique and that means their treatment must be as well. Analyse, treat, tweak – this is the power of a true health transformation.

Thrive

Patients will literally feel the difference as their life starts to dramatically improve, from brain function to energy levels, as well as performance in daily activities. The results are truly remarkable.

In the words of our founder and clinical director, Dr. Miguel Stanley: “This is biological dentistry, this is my vision of integrative medicine and whole-body wellbeing. It starts with the mouth and ends with restored health at every single level. It is the power of simplicity, applied with knowledge, experience and a clear understanding of the exquisite balance between oral health and general health”.
