Dentistry, reimagined in Magodo Lagos City

Root canal costs depend on which tooth is affected, how many canals it has, and whether a crown is needed afterwards to protect it. Molars generally cost more to treat than front teeth because they have more canals and more complex anatomy.

At De-Twist Dental Clinic, we assess the tooth first with a clinical examination and, where necessary, digital imaging, then give you a clear, itemised quote before any work begins. Call us on 07069597081 or 07053759772 for a personalised estimate.

Yes. Major treatments such as implants, orthodontics, or multiple crowns can be spread across structured instalments rather than paid in one lump sum.

De-Twist Dental Clinic also works with select HMO partners, including Total Health Trust and Leadway Health. Coverage still depends on your specific policy, so it is worth confirming your benefits with your HMO or with our front desk before treatment starts.

Adults are never too old to straighten their teeth. The main options are traditional metal braces, tooth-coloured ceramic braces, and clear aligners.

Each option suits a different lifestyle and level of misalignment. Metal braces handle complex cases well and cost less, ceramic braces are less visible, and clear aligners are removable and discreet but need consistent daily wear to work. A consultation is the only reliable way to know which suits your bite.

Your first appointment starts with a conversation about your dental history and any concerns you would like addressed. This is followed by a thorough clinical examination.

Where needed, we take digital X-rays or use our I-Cat Cone Beam 3D Imaging System to get a fuller picture of your teeth and jaw. You will leave with a clear treatment plan and cost estimate, not a list of unexplained procedures.

Little preparation is needed on your end beyond arriving with clean teeth and a list of any medications you take. The dentist reshapes the affected tooth under local anaesthesia, takes a digital or physical impression, and fits a temporary crown while your permanent one is made.

Avoid very hard or sticky foods on the temporary crown, and let us know immediately if it feels loose or uneven before your fitting appointment.

Two of the most useful tools are the I-Cat Cone Beam 3D Imaging System and the Orthopantomograph (OPG), which captures a single panoramic image of the entire jaw.

Cone beam imaging gives dentists a detailed 3D view for implants, root canals, and complex extractions, and it typically involves a lower radiation dose than a full medical CT scan. Your dentist will only recommend it when the extra detail changes how your treatment is planned.

Dental emergencies such as a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken restoration rarely wait for convenient timing.

Call De-Twist Dental Clinic directly on 07069597081 or 07053759772 as soon as an emergency happens. Our team will advise on immediate first aid and arrange the earliest possible appointment, though exact emergency availability can vary, so a phone call is always the fastest way to confirm.

Most wisdom tooth extractions are carried out under local anaesthesia, which numbs the area completely while you stay awake and comfortable.

For more complex or impacted teeth, sedation options may be discussed to help anxious patients relax. Your dentist will talk you through the right choice for your case, along with realistic aftercare and recovery expectations, before the day of the procedure.

In Nigeria, every practising dentist must be registered with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), the statutory body that regulates dental practice nationwide.

You can ask a clinic directly for a dentist’s registration details, look for visible certifications in the practice, and read patient reviews. A clinic that is open about its dentists’ credentials is generally a good sign of a trustworthy practice.

Coverage depends heavily on your specific HMO and policy tier. Some plans cover routine check-ups and extractions but exclude cosmetic work, implants, or orthodontics.

De-Twist Dental Clinic partners with HMOs including Total Health Trust and Leadway Health. The most reliable way to know exactly what is covered is to check with your HMO provider directly or ask our front desk to confirm your benefits before treatment.

Recovery after periodontal treatment depends on gentle, consistent aftercare. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush carefully around the treated area rather than avoiding it altogether.

Only use antiseptic mouthwash if your dentist has specifically prescribed or recommended one, since not every rinse suits every patient. Attend every follow-up appointment, as healing gums are checked in stages, not just once.

Affordable does not have to mean a compromise on quality. Look for a clinic that explains costs upfront, uses modern diagnostic equipment, and has a track record with local patients.

De-Twist Dental Clinic is based on CMD Road in Magodo, Lagos, and combines transparent pricing with advanced equipment such as our I-Cat Cone Beam 3D Imaging System, so you get a clear picture of both your treatment and its cost before you commit.
