Importance Of Hygienist Visit At Dublin18 Dental Care For Patients Near Seapoint

Our dental hygienists are an integral part of the team and we strongly recommend their services to all our patients. Our hygienists have expertise in providing preventative treatments and they also work tirelessly along with our dentists to manage cases of gum disease.

Why are hygienist visits so important?

Good dental hygiene forms the basis for healthy teeth and gums and our hygienists provide a wide range of really effective treatments and services, including cleaning treatments, such as scale and polish, gum disease prevention and treatment, preventative services for children and oral health information and advice.

Prevention is always better than cure and studies have shown that gum disease can have a very serious impact on general health, as well as oral health. Studies have shown that the bacteria associated with gum disease can contribute to potentially serious health complications, including an increased risk of heart disease and strokes. This is because bacteria can travel around the body in the bloodstream.

What are the benefits of going to a dental hygienist?

Seeing a dental hygienist on a regular basis will not just reduce your risk of developing oral diseases, including decay and gum disease, but it will also boost your general health and ensure your teeth look bright and white and feel lovely and smooth. Dental hygienists can also help patients to tackle bad breath and they are able to offer advice about diet, oral hygiene at home and giving up smoking.

We recommend seeing a dental hygienist once a year if you have good oral health and more frequently if you suffer from problems such as bad breath or gum disease. Call the practice or pop in to find out more and book an appointment.

Implants From €2000 For Patients Near Seapoint

Dublin18 Dental Care is proud to offer patients in Seapoint amazing dental implant treatment for just €2000. This innovative treatment is an excellent solution for patients of all ages who are searching for a long-term replacement for lost natural teeth. Whether you’ve lost a tooth playing sport or you’re looking for an alternative to dentures for a full arch of missing teeth, dental implants could prove the perfect choice.

About dental implants

Dental implants are made from titanium and shaped like small screws; the aim of an implant is to replace the root section of the lost tooth. Implants are placed inside sockets in the jaw bone and then left to heal. As titanium is a biocompatible material, it integrates into the bone tissue and this allows the implant to offer the same standard of stability as a natural root.

Dental implants are the most versatile option for replacing missing teeth because they fit with different restorations and this means that they are suitable for patients with one or multiple missing teeth.

How does an implant work?

Implants are placed inside pre-drilled holes in the jaw bone and they are then left to undergo the process of osseointegration; once this is complete, the implant will have become part of the actual bone tissue and it can be attached to a new restoration to produce a strong, healthy and natural looking tooth. Implants are the closest match to a natural tooth and they also last a lot longer than bridges and dentures. As the implant takes on the role of a new root, the restoration is completely stable and this allows you to do everything you would be able to do with a natural tooth.

Am I a suitable match for treatment?

Dental implants are a suitable match for most patients; however, if you smoke heavily or you suffer from a condition, which affects bone density, there may be other options, which are better suited. If you lack bone density in the jaw bone, we may recommend bone grafting prior to treatment; this is because the implant may fail if the bone tissue is not dense enough.

Fixed Orthodontics For Teenagers Near Seapoint

There are several orthodontic treatments out there, but fixed braces have stood the test of time and remain a very popular choice, despite the arrival of newfangled, high-tech appliances. We recommend fixed braces for teenagers for a number of reasons:

Benefits of fixed braces

Fixed braces are a tried and tested method and they have helped to create millions of beautifully straight smiles all over the world. Fixed braces are guaranteed to work, as they are in place constantly and do not carry the risks of unsuccessful treatment posed by removable braces, which are successful depending on the patient’s dedication to treatment. Fixed braces can achieve a lot more movement than some other appliances and they are suitable for patients with complex needs. The components of the brace support the teeth during treatment and prevent the teeth from slipping out of position.

Modern fixed braces

Modern fixed braces are lighter and less cumbersome than braces used in previous decades and they are available in a range of colours. They use advanced technology to reduce pain and they have minimal impact on your ability to speak and eat as normal. Initially, like other treatments, when you first start fixed wearing braces it is common to develop a mild lisp, but this will subside after a couple of days and your speech will return to normal.

Orthodontic treatment can be hugely beneficial for teenagers; it has aesthetic benefits, as well as the ability to correct oral hygiene problems and improve the function of the mouth and it is often best to intervene at an early age, rather than waiting. Call us today to find about more about teenage orthodontics at Dublin18 Dental Care near Seapoint.

 

 

Bonded Retainers For Patients Near Seapoint

When you have your braces taken off, the last thing you want to do is experience relapse. Relapse occurs when the teeth start to slip and move out of position. This is why we encourage all our orthodontic patients to wear a retainer. A retainer is a dental device, which is used to hold the teeth in place and keep your amazing new smile intact.

What is a bonded retainer?

A bonded retainer is a retainer, which is stuck to the teeth using strong dental adhesive; it remains in place to maintain the new position of the teeth and prevent tooth movement. Just like when you have braces, it is important to keep the retainer clean to prevent plaque build-up and decay; it is very easy to keep your retainer clean and we will happily show you how to do this and give you advice about keeping your retainer clean.

We advise all patients to maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home and it is particularly important for patients who have braces or retainers to keep their mouths clean and follow advice about healthy eating; try to avoid eating sugary and chewy foods, which increase the risk of decay and may cause problems getting stuck in your retainer.

What are the advantages of a bonded retainer?

A bonded retainer is advantageous because it stays in place and therefore it is guaranteed to do its job; if you have a removable retainer, you may be tempted to take it out now and again and this may result in your teeth moving out of position. Once the retainer is in place you don’t have to worry about it and it is very simple to keep it clean. For more information about our bonded retainers get in touch with the team near Seapoint.

 

At-Home Teeth Whitening For Patients Near Seapoint

Over the course of time, general wear and tear can take its toll on your teeth and you may start to notice that your teeth become discoloured, especially if you are fond of a latte in the morning or a cup of tea before bed. Drinking strongly coloured drinks, such as coffee and red wine, smoking and neglecting your oral hygiene can all cause the whiteness of your teeth to fade, but there is a solution. At Dublin18 Dental Care near Seapoint we pride ourselves on offering the best treatments and our home whitening kits are guaranteed to give you a beautiful, gleaming smile.

How does home whitening work?

We recommend a two-week home treatment, which uses EU standard carbamide peroxide gels, to bleach the teeth and give you a gorgeous, white smile. The beauty of home whitening is that you can get the look you want in the comfort of your own home; all you have to do is wear your tailor-made whitening tray for 2 weeks at home (most people prefer to wear the tray at night so that treatment does not alter their normal daily routine).

Home whitening is advantageous because it produces great results without the need for top-up treatment shortly after the original whitening session, which is the case with some in-chair treatment.

How long will the results last?

The results of treatment should last a long time, but this is dependent on your diet, your oral hygiene routine and whether you smoke. It is easy to top up your treatment at any time to prolong the results.

If you would like to find out more about our home whitening kits, call the practice today! A whiter, brighter smile awaits!
