Cerec Crowns For Patients Near Dalkley

Accidents can happen when you least expect it, but if you have a broken tooth, do not panic because at Dublin18 Dental Care we provide high quality, same-day crowns. We are one of just 16 dental practices in the whole of Ireland to use the amazing Cerec system, which enables us to produce bespoke crowns and other types of restoration on-site.

About Cerec

Cerec is an amazing form of technology, which enables us to design, make and fit bespoke crowns, inlays, veneers and onlays on the same day. Usually, patients have to wear temporary restorations for around 2 weeks while their permanent restoration is manufactured at a dental laboratory, but we are able to do everything on the same day. Cerec technology uses sophisticated imaging software to convert digital images into 3D models of the teeth. The images are sent to the milling machine and the restorations are manufactured; they are then ready to be fitted.

Cerec has a host of benefits for dentists and patients; the restorations are ready on the same day, there is no need for multiple dental visits or temporary restorations and the results of treatment are visible straight away.

Why would I need a dental crown?

Crowns are a type of restoration, which are used to strengthen the teeth. They help to prevent further damage to the tooth and make it stronger, so that you can eat and bite down on things without any problems. You may need a crown if your tooth is weak as a result of a large cavity or a large filling or damaged as a result of an accident, sports injury or trauma; crowns may also be placed after root canal treatment.

The procedure to fit a crown takes place in 2 stages; first, the tooth must be prepared, which involves removing any damaged or decayed tissue and cleaning the tooth thoroughly. When the tooth is ready, your dentist will take images of your tooth and then Cerec technology will be used to manufacture your bespoke crown; once the crown is ready, your dentist will fit it and check that you are happy with your new crown.

For more information on our Cerec technology please contact the team at Dublin18 Dental care near Dalkley.

Hygienist Teeth Cleaning For Patients Near Ballinteer

If you are looking for that dentist-clean feeling, why not visit one of our brilliant dental hygienists? At Dublin18 Dental Care, our team of dental hygienists are an integral part of the practice and we actively promote oral hygiene and good oral health.

What does a hygienist do?

A dental hygienist is an expert in oral hygiene and the prevention of oral health conditions, such as gum disease. Dental hygienists actively promote good oral health, they are on hand to talk to patients about brushing tips, oral hygiene products and diet and they can also help with giving up smoking and making lifestyle changes. Dental hygienists also play a very important role in the prevention and treatment of gum disease, a very common condition, which is the leading cause of adult tooth loss.

Why would I need to see a dental hygienist?

You can see a dental hygienist for many reasons and you do not necessarily have to have anything wrong with you to see a hygienist. Many people like to visit a hygienist on a regular basis to achieve a deep clean, keep their teeth looking clean and healthy and reduce their risk of developing oral health problems.

You may be advised to see a dental hygienist if you have gum disease or you smoke. A dental hygienist can use treatments, such as scale and polish, to remove deposits of tartar from the teeth and ensure that your mouth is as clean as possible. Tartar is a hard substance, which develops when plaque hardens; unlike plaque, it cannot be removed by brushing alone. Dental hygienists can also advise you about healthy eating, brushing and choosing the best dental hygiene products; they can also help with quitting smoking.

Visiting a dental hygienist will keep your teeth and gums strong and healthy and reduce your risk of developing oral health problems; recent studies have indicated that gum disease can contribute to an increased risk of heart disease, strokes and diabetes, so looking after your teeth and gums has never been more important!

Denture Treatments For Missing Teeth For Patients Near Grand Canal Dock

Dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for decades, but if you thought dentures were still bulky, fake-looking and uncomfortable, you may be surprised to learn about the modern dentures we have on offer at Dublin18 Dental Care. Gone are the days of painful false teeth; modern dentures are light, comfortable, functional and they look exactly like natural teeth to give you a great looking, healthy smile.

What are dentures?

Dentures are sets of false teeth; they are designed to replace missing teeth and can be used to replace a small number of teeth or an entire arch and we offer partial and complete dentures. Dentures help to restore function to the mouth and create an attractive smile. They also provide support for your cheeks to prevent them from looking sunken, and they enable you to eat and chew properly.

Types of denture

At Dublin18 Dental Care near Grand Canal Dock, we have many different types of denture on offer, including partial and full acrylic dentures, implant-retained dentures and chrome cobalt dentures. Acrylic dentures are bespoke and they create very natural aesthetics; there is very little chance of them coming loose and they are very comfortable.

Chrome cobalt dentures are made out of metal; they are usually attached to the roof of the mouth and they are recommended for durability and wear. Chrome cobalt dentures are more robust than acrylic dentures and they are considered more comfortable for the tongue.

Implant-retained dentures have become very popular in recent years. These dentures are held in place by dental implants. Dental implants provide maximum support and anchorage for the dentures, giving patients peace of mind that their denture will never come loose and the ability to eat whatever they want.

Patients Near Bray Can Achieve A Straighter Smile In Just Six months

If you assumed that getting a straight smile took years, we have great news for you! At Dublin18 Dental Care we are delighted to offer our clients the amazing Six Month Smiles system, a fixed brace system, which promises amazing results in just six months.

About 6 Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is a fixed brace orthodontic treatment system, which was developed inAmericaand has become incredibly popular in countries all over the world. The braces, which are much more discreet than traditional fixed braces, use gentle forces and friction-free technology to straighten the teeth quickly and painlessly.

How does 6 Month Smiles work so fast?

It’s understandable to wonder how 6 Month Smiles is able to work so much quicker than traditional fixed braces and the answer is simple: these braces focus on the teeth at the front of the mouth, as they are visible when you smile. By concentrating solely on these teeth, the braces are able to produce results very quickly. The braces also use the latest technology to accelerate treatment speed and reduce discomfort.

Am I a suitable candidate?

Six Month Smiles is suitable for a wide range of patients but it is not the best option for patients with complex orthodontic needs. This treatment is designed to treat minor or moderate orthodontic problems affecting the front teeth. We will be able to tell you if you are a suitable candidate for treatment after examining your mouth at the initial consultation. If you are not a suitable candidate, we will be happy to discuss other treatments with you and recommend other options. Six Month Smiles is a great option for people who want to look their best for a special occasion, such as a wedding, and those who do not require intensive treatment. It is also a popular treatment for adults because the braces are made from clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which make them very discreet. Contact the team at Dublin18 Dental Care near Bray for more information.

Missing Teeth Treatment Using Dental Implants For Patients Near Stepaside

Dublin18 Dental Care provides a number of treatments for missing teeth, including dental implants. Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth and they can be used to replace a single missing tooth, a number of missing teeth or an entire arch.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium screws, which are designed to replace the root of the missing tooth. The implants are placed into pre-drilled sockets in the jaw bone and they integrate into the bone over a period of time. Once the implant has settled fully, it can be attached to a new crown, dental bridge or denture and the full function of the mouth will be restored.

The implant procedure

The implant procedure involves two key stages; firstly, the implant is placed and then left to heal and then after a period of time (usually 3-6 months), the new restoration is attached. The placement process involves making an incision in the gum and drilling into the bone to create a socket for the implant; this is done under local anaesthetic to prevent any pain. Once the implant is in place, the incision is closed and the implant is left to integrate into the jaw bone.

Why is it important to replace missing teeth?

There are numerous benefits of replacing missing teeth. Missing teeth affect your ability to eat food properly and speak clearly and they also have a negative impact on the aesthetic of your smile. Empty tooth sockets also tend to attract bacteria, which can increase the risk of gum disease and decay. Losing teeth also affects the overall look of your face, as the teeth have an important role in providing support for your cheeks and lips; if you have a number of missing teeth this can cause your cheeks to appear sunken.

Why choose Dublin18 Dental Care for implant treatment?

At Dublin18 Dental Care near Stepaside we have experience and expertise in placing dental implants and we believe they are an excellent treatment. Dental implants last for many years and they provide excellent aesthetics and functionality. We use the latest technology and techniques to produce amazing results and ensure that all our clients leave with a happy, healthy and confident smile.

Teeth Whitening To Brighten Your Smile For Patients Near Killiney

Tooth whitening treatment is one of the simplest and quickest way of giving your smile a healthy glow. Most of us experience discolouration to some degree as a result of general wear or tear, smoking or indulging in too many coffees or glasses of red wine. Tooth whitening treatment is a safe and painless treatment, which will give your smile an instant healthy radiance.

What does whitening treatment involve?

Under new legislation brought in by the EU, tooth whitening products should contain a maximum concentration of 6% hydrogen peroxide. Treatment at this level must be carried out by a qualified dental practitioner and only administered to patients over the age of 18 after a thorough oral examination prior to whitening treatment. At Dublin18 Dental Care we offer home whitening treatment, which produces amazing results and enables you to get the smile of your dreams in the comfort of your own home. We also offer in-house whitening treatment so that our patients have a choice when it comes to teeth whitening treatments.

Before home whitening treatment begins, we will create an impression of your teeth and this will be used as a mould for your whitening tray; the whitening tray is similar to a mouth guard. We have an on-site laboratory so your tray will be ready to collect on the same day and you can start your treatment as soon as you get home. Most people prefer to wear the tray, which contains bleaching agent, during the night so that it does not interfere with their daily routine.

Home whitening is a really effective way of getting a healthier, more attractive looking smile without the worry of needles or injections, pain or even sitting in the dental chair to have treatment; you can also top up the treatment very easily to preserve the results.

Why would I consider whitening at Dublin18?

Whitening treatment is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments; it produces great results, there is no invasive treatment required, no needles or injections and no recovery time. In just a short period of time, your smile will look much brighter and healthier and you can look forward to smiling with confidence.

Fissure Sealants For Patients Near Deansgrange

Easter has just been celebrated but now that children have lots of chocolate eggs, it could spell trouble for the teeth. Indulging in chocolate eggs is a nightmare for your teeth and gums, so why not consider oral hygiene and preventative treatments for your children? At Dublin18 Dental Care we provide a full range of general dental treatments and preventative treatments and we also have information packs for parents, which provide advice and tips for caring for your child’s oral health.

Preventative dental treatments

Prevention is always better than cure and the good news is that tooth decay and gum disease are both largely preventable. We offer fissure sealant treatment for children which is a safe, quick and completely painless procedure, which protects the teeth helping to reduce the risk of damage and decay. Fissure sealant treatment involves applying sealant over the biting surfaces of the molars. The sealant is set hard using a light source and once it is in place it protects the teeth by preventing plaque and food from getting stuck in the fissures (small cracks) and pits on the surfaces of the teeth.

Sealant treatment takes less than half an hour and there is no pain or discomfort involved.

Easter tips

Everyone loves to tuck into an Easter egg, but there are things you can do to try and reduce the risk of dental problems after Easter. If you are planning to crack open a chocolate egg, try to resist the urge to eat between meals; chocolate is full of sugar and sugary foods cause the bacteria in your mouth to release harmful plaque acids, which attack your tooth enamel. Your teeth can only resist a limited number of acid attacks per day and as they will already be under attack at mealtimes, avoiding snacking will help to keep the number of attacks down. Always remember to wait around one hour after eating to brush your teeth, as the enamel is softer after you eat and brushing during this time can cause damage. If you would like more information about looking after you and your families’ teeth, why not contact the team at Dublin18 Dental Care near Deansgrange.
