A Dermal Filler is a material that is commonly used to fill in imperfections on the face, such as scars, fine lines and wrinkles. The general idea of Dermal Fillers is to give a more youthful appearance. They are commonly composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance found naturally in your body that diminishes with age.

That doesn’t sound like a dental procedure – well it isn’t, technically, but there are several reasons why you may wish your Dublin18 Dental Care clinician serving Deansgrange to carry out such a procedure.

Firstly, if you’ve just had extensive cosmetic dentistry you can really “finish off” your new look by making your face fuller with fewer fine lines. Your dentist will make sure that any changes to the shape of your face and mouth compliment your teeth.

The second reason is that dental anaesthesia is the great for carrying out this procedure. We commonly use topical anaesthetics, i.e. ones that are applied directly to the skin, such as numbing cream.  However dental anaesthetic can be more effective and less painful.
