White Clinic: The Facts

White Clinic

White Clinic has an interdisciplinary team

We were pioneers in interdisciplinary dentistry in Portugal and believe that having a solid team of specialised doctors has huge benefits in the preparation of personalised treatment plans, the discussion of cases, as well as execution. Many times, there is more than one doctor in the room to ensure that everything goes to perfection. We are a true team, and we have a globally recognised and respected workflow.

We have been using digital tech since 1999 and are one of the most technologically advanced clinics in the world

From digital X-rays, Digital Smile Design and milling machines to scanners and 3D printers, we always look to the future to ensure that our patients are provided with the opportunity to only have the best and latest technology available.

We are a Slow Dentistry Global Network® certified clinic

We have been following the Slow Dentistry Global Network® work ethic for many years and that includes: correct room disinfection, proper anaesthesia, use of the rubber dam, and informed consent. This is why our appointments are always at least 1 hour long and why our patients always have our undivided attention.

Ongoing training is one of our priorities

Dr. Miguel Stanley completes over 150 hours of continuous education in various areas of dentistry every year and makes sure the team is always up to date with the latest science and news.

We are White Clinic.

We are consistently evolving.
For us. For you.
These are the facts.

Dr. Miguel Stanley

Our team is led by one of the most recognised dentists on the planet

Our founder and clinical director is Dr. Miguel Stanley, one of the most influential dentists in the world. With a pioneering spirit, a passion for advanced biological dentistry and integrative medicine, he has been practicing dentistry of the future for over 25 years, successfully healing patients through the powerful mouth-body connection.

A prominent scientist, innovator and educator

When he’s not seeing patients, Dr. Miguel Stanley is advocating for superior dental care and optimal wellbeing in other realms, as co-founder of the Slow Dentistry Global Network, Vice President of the Digital Dentistry Society, co-founder of Missing Link, adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry (USA), as well as a member of numerous international scientific and academic organisations, and as a key consultant for tech companies.

One of the most sought out speakers in the world

A world-famous dentist, Dr. Miguel Stanley is considered one of the top speakers on the planet for the simple, charismatic and inspiring way he communicates on topics such as: biological dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, digital dentistry, oral surgery, practice management and ethics, and artificial intelligence in dentistry. He’s spoken at +200 events in +50 countries. He is the only dentist to have hosted a documentary for National Geographic.

Patients

We are a family-centred practice

Our integrative team is trained and experienced in expertly treating kids, tweens, teenagers and adults. Our patients mean everything to us and are actively involved in the conversation regarding their current health status and custom treatment plans. Expectations, results and costs are always transparent and discussed upfront.

We do not perform oral surgery on patients who smoke

Except for restorative or cosmetic dentistry treatments, we no longer perform any type of oral surgery, including simple extractions, on patients who smoke. If you’d like us to help take your smile and oral health to the next level, perhaps it’s time to quit.

All patients over 18 undergo a digital 3D-Cone Beam CT to check the bone before any dental surgery

We want the best results and we like to have access to information as quickly as possible – that is why we have this technology in-house. This low-radiation technology (it emits less radiation than a flight between Lisbon and London) allows us to check the bone level of the mandible and/or maxilla, enabling more precise planning for the placement of implants, a simple tooth extraction or even an orthodontic treatment.

Many of our patients travel from abroad for treatment

We have been a Leading Dental Center of the World for 24 years, which means our international reputation has grown consistently. Our biological dentistry treatment philosophy, our advanced technology, our integrative approach to healthcare and vast experience in solving complex issues are just some of the reasons why we are highly sought-after by international patients, many times referred to us by colleagues abroad. We have a respected network of clinics around the world for follow-ups for our patients, if needed.

The fact is, we’re here to help you heal.

Biological Dentistry

The mouth-body connection is our priority

We understand that oral health goes beyond mechanical issues and focus on how these issues may be affecting the immune system, the neuropathic system, and systemic health. The healing process always starts with the mouth – this is how we connect the dots to other existing health conditions.

We always use biocompatible materials

We advocate non-toxic dentistry in everything we do: from materials and equipment to procedures and products. Our mission is steadfast: an infection, inflammation and metal-free mouth.

We are mercury-free & mercury-safe

In addition to bypassing amalgam fillings, we follow the IAOMT guidelines: the removal of amalgams is done with high-speed aspiration, masks, and rubber-specific goggles to ensure that nothing is aspirated through the airways or eyes, and that mercury doesn’t enter the body.

Dentistry is complex and encompasses various areas

We practice Sports Dentistry, Sleep Dentistry, and Pediatric Facial Growth & Airway Health – because each case is exclusive, each patient is unique and each treatment plan is designed accordingly. 

We practice stress-free dentistry

Our goal is to eliminate dental phobia one appointment at a time, which means we practice non-invasive techniques and protocols for a pain-free and anxiety-free experience in the dental chair.

Integrative Medicine

Whole-body attention

Integrative or holistic medicine combines conventional medical practices with complementary and alternative therapies. It considers a patient’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, addressing the root causes of health issues and promoting overall balance and healing.

A functional approach to cancer & autoimmune diseases

Our Integrative Medicine consultation is unique and comprehensive, uncovering potential wellness issues and triggers, and designing personalised protocols to support recovery and health, always alongside the patient’s current medical plan. 

We promote a complete healthy lifestyle

Our 360º approach to healthcare views the human body as a whole, which means we offer a range of non-invasive tests, regenerative and immune boosting therapies for complete wellness.
