At Dublin18 Dental Care, we understand that sometimes, time is of the essence and we are delighted to be able to offer our patients crowns on the day from €590. With amazing new technology, we can create same-day restorations without the need for impressions or temporary crowns.  There is no longer a waiting period of up to two weeks while your crown is sent off to the lab to be made; with the latest addition of Omni cam Cerec to our innovative technology in our practice, we can now make and fit your crown in just one visit! Watch your crown being milled while enjoying an espresso or a cup of tea in the comfort of our beautiful and stylish surroundings.

Why would I need a dental crown?

Dental crowns are a type of restoration, which are commonly used to strengthen broken and decayed teeth. Crowns are sometimes known as caps because they sit on top of your natural tooth. With Cerec, we are able to offer same-day crowns; usually, the process of making and fitting a crown takes two weeks because the crown has to be made in a laboratory. With Cerec, we have everything we need to make the crown on-site and this cuts treatment time dramatically and offers a host of other advantages for patients and dentists.

The benefits of Cerec

Cerec treatment is speedy, accurate and simple; with this technology, all the processes can be carried out in one place so we can design, make and fit your crown on a single day. This means no repeat appointments, no temporary restorations and no putty moulds.

Cerec treatment is more accurate than traditional techniques because state of the art computer technology is used to create precise templates for the new crown; your dentist can also get involved in the design stage and you can see what happens at every phase of treatment.

Our amazing dental hygienists offer an array of important and effective services to help you enjoy good oral health. From the treatment of gum disease and bad breath, to preventative measures to keep decay away, seeing a dental hygienist has a host of benefits for patients of all ages.

Dental hygiene for adults

Even if you have bright, healthy teeth, you can still benefit from seeing a dental hygienist on a regular basis. Hygienists provide powerful cleaning to polish your teeth, remove surface stains and take bacteria out of the mouth and they are also heavily involved in the treatment of existing oral health issues, including gum disease and bad breath using methods such as scale and polish treatment. Scale and polish is a really intensive and effective cleaning method, which is used for removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and gum line and giving the teeth a lovely glossy glow.

If you have gum disease or persistent bad breath, we will recommend regular sessions with our dentists and dental hygienists to treat the problem and prevent further issues in the future.

Dental hygienists can also offer advice about nutrition and diet, giving up smoking and oral hygiene and they are on hand to answer any of your oral health queries.

Dental hygiene for children

Seeing a dental hygienist is hugely beneficial for children, especially those who have early signs of decay. Our hygienists provide preventative dental treatments, including fissure sealant treatment and fluoride varnish, to strengthen and protect the teeth from decay and prevent children from suffering from toothache and sensitivity.

How can I arrange to see a dental hygienist?

You can now book appointments with our dental hygienists directly, rather than waiting for a referral from your dentist. Simply call reception or pop into the surgery to make your appointment.

 

 

Mouth guards are not just a means of protecting your teeth when you play sport, they are also a legal requirement due to recent changes in GAA legislation. We offer bespoke mouth guards for participants of all ages and abilities to enable you to enjoy sport and all the benefits it brings without the worry of dental injuries.

Our mouth guards

We offer a full range of sports mouth guards, including single colour and multi-coloured guards to give you flair and individuality on the pitch. We can combine colours you like or copy designs based on flags or sports teams and we offer a bespoke service to ensure that your guard fits the contours of your mouth perfectly. There’s nothing worse than an ill-fitting mouth guard when you are trying to focus on a game and with our high quality, custom-made guards, this will never be an issue.

GAA ruling

According to new GAA rules, players are required to wear a mouth guard in order to be able to play. We welcome this decision to reduce the risk of dental and facial injuries and protect young players and adults.

Why is it important to wear a mouth guard?

Mouth guards are an effective means of protecting your teeth and gums from injury when you engage in physical exercise and games that involve a risk of injury to the face or jaw. Sport has a multitude of benefits for the body and mind, but most activities carry a risk of injury and it’s often essential to use protective equipment and wear special clothing to reduce the risk of an early bath.

Mouth guards prevent injuries such as chipped, broken and dislodged teeth, which may be caused by balls flying at high speed, high kicks and tackles, body contact and landing on firm surfaces. We recommend wearing a mouth guard every time you play sport, even if you only participate now and again.

What are the advantages of a dentist-made mouth guard?

Dentist-made mouth guards are manufactured according to the shape of your mouth, rather than being roughly moulded using hot water at home. The process is much more accurate and the result is far superior. With a bespoke mouth guard, you can be sure that your gum shield will fit perfectly, so it won’t irritate your gums or causes you any pain while you are playing.

At Dublin18 Dental Care we understand that you want to look your best and with summer looming, now is an ideal time to take advantage of our incredible whitening treatments.

Tooth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic treatments. If you’re looking to add some sparkle to your summer smile, why not treat yourself with one of our amazing summer offers? We are offering patients in Dublin18 and beyond the opportunity to indulge in tooth whitening for a special price of just 99 Euros.

Our home whitening treatment

We offer home whitening to provide patients with a simple, effective and convenient means of whitening their teeth. Home whitening involves undergoing treatment in the comfort of your own home and the process is incredibly straightforward. Before you begin treatment, we invite you to pop into the clinic for a consultation; during this session, we will talk you through the treatment process and make moulds of your teeth, which will be used to make your whitening trays.

Once your whitening trays have been made, treatment can begin and you can start wearing your trays at home. Most patients choose to have treatment at night so that they the treatment doesn’t have any impact on their normal daily business. Treatment usually lasts between 10 and 14 days and you can repeat treatment periods down the line to give your smile a boost.

Benefits of whitening treatment

Whitening treatment has amazing benefits for the look of your smile, but you are also likely to enjoy increased confidence if you are happy with how your smile looks. White teeth look healthy and bright. Whitening is a safe and quick treatment and the results last for a long time.

If you’d like to find out more about tooth whitening or our incredible summer offers, call the practice or pop in for a quick chat.

 

 

Summer is almost upon us and there’s a hint of excitement in the air. With the summer months synonymous with spending time with friends and family, holidays, weddings and having fun, what better time to treat your smile to some TLC with a session with our amazing dental hygienist?

What do dental hygienists do?

Our experienced dental hygienists are specially trained to provide patients with advice about oral hygiene and oral health, manage and treat gum disease and provide preventative services for patients of all ages. Even if you have excellent oral health, you can still benefit from seeing a dental hygienist. Not only will your hygienist remove any troublesome bacteria from your mouth, but they will also give your teeth a thorough clean, which will ensure your smile looks beautiful and radiant.

Treatments offered by a dental hygienist include fluoride varnish and fissure sealant treatment for children, intensive cleaning treatments, such as a scale and polish, gum disease and halitosis treatment, oral health education and advice and stain removal.

How often should I see a dental hygienist?

If you have existing oral health problems, such as bad breath (halitosis) or gum disease, you will benefit from regular hygiene sessions. If you have good oral health, seeing a hygienist once or twice a year will help to keep oral diseases at bay.

Why is oral hygiene so important?

Most people know that good oral hygiene helps to lower the risk of gum disease and cavities, but the link between gum disease and other health problems may be less well-known. Studies have shown that people with periodontal disease (the advanced form of gum disease) have an increased risk of a wide range of general health problems, including heart disease and strokes.

If you have any questions about brushing or flossing, smoking or diet, our hygienists will be happy to help.

Easter is fast approaching and our appointments for the school holidays are filling up, so ring now and book a check-up for your child now! The holidays are a perfect time for kids to have their routine check-up and will ensure that they start the new term with beautiful, bright and healthy smile.

Check-ups for children

We recommend regular check-ups for children and teenagers and ideally aim for 6 monthly appointments. Check-ups are only short, but they are very important, as they allow us to keep tabs on your child’s dental development and spot any warning signs, which may need addressing. We know that some children feel a little apprehensive when they go to the dentist, but we have many years of experience in treating children and we try and do everything possible to make the experience fun!

During a routine check, which only lasts a few minutes, our dentists examine the mouth, look for any signs of decay or plaque on the teeth and check the gums. They will give the teeth a quick polish and note down any changes in the child’s notes. If there are any problems, such as cavities or orthodontic issues, these will be discussed at the time and a suitable course of action will be taken.

We are perfectly happy for parents and children to share appointments. With younger children, it can be reassuring for the child to see what is going on with their parent and then to be comforted while they have their own quick check-up.

Book now!

If your child is due a dental check-up, call us today to arrange your appointment. We offer flexible opening hours and will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Accidents can happen at any time and usually they occur out of the blue. At Dublin18 Dental Care near Deansgrange we understand that our patients need access to emergency care and we offer same-day appointments to try and ease your pain and ensure you are fighting fit as quickly as possible.

Dental injuries and dental pain

Often, you experience pain when you least expect it; one minute you could be minding your own business, the next you could be in need of urgent dental care. Dental injuries are commonly caused by accidents, such as falls, sporting injuries and trauma and pain can range from mild to severe.

If you suffer an injury or you suddenly experience very severe dental pain, we are here to help!

Types of dental emergencies include chipped, fractured and split teeth, jaw injuries, dental pain and abscesses and dislodged teeth, which is also known as avulsion.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

If you’re in pain and you need help, don’t suffer in silence! Call the practice and one of our receptionists will do their best to get you an appointment as quickly as possible. When you come to the practice, we will help to relieve pain and find out the cause of the injury as quickly as possible.

If you have been suffering from tooth pain or sensitivity for a while, it’s a good idea to arrange to see your dentist. Toothache can often be a sign of decay or an infection, which will only get worse over the course of time.

We recommend attending regular dental appointments to reduce the risk of decay, sensitivity, abscesses and gum disease and we advise patients who participate in contact sports to wear a protective mouth guard to prevent dental injuries.
