How to Make Your Smile Sparkle

February 24th, 2015

Nothing makes us feel better than a bright, sparkling smile. If your smile is looking a little dull and dreary this February, why not treat yourself to a trip to the dentist to ensure your teeth look amazing in time for spring?

We offer an impressive range of whitening treatments in addition to amazing hygiene services to make your smile sparkle!

Hygiene treatments

If you have mild discolouration, hygiene treatments can be a really simple and effective means of removing surface stains and giving your smile a healthy glow. They are also really effective for banishing bacteria and reducing your risk of decay and gum disease.

Teeth whitening

If you’re after a slightly more dramatic transformation, our whitening treatments can help to give your smile a brilliant glow by lightening the shade of your teeth. We have a range of options, including simple home whitening and the incredible Enlighten, which is a favourite with celebrities.

Home whitening is a really good option for people who want great results with minimal hassle and maximum convenience. With this system, you simply wear some custom-made whitening trays, which contain bleaching agent, at home. The trays are comfortable and they should be worn for just 6 hours per day for around 14 days. You’ll start to notice that your teeth look brighter a few days after you start treatment and by the final day, your smile will be gleaming.

Enlighten is ideal for those who want a radiant white smile. This treatment is the only system currently available in the UK that guarantees shade B1, the lightest tooth shade. Enlighten treatment takes place over 15 days and involves 14 days of home treatment followed by an in-chair treatment. Home whitening involves wearing specially made whitening trays, while in-chair session lasts just one hour and it’s not painful. In fact, all you have to do is lie back and chill out.

Welcome to the World of White Fillings!

February 20th, 2015

We are excited to introduce our patients in Liverpool and beyond to wonderful white fillings. These natural looking fillings will strengthen and protect your teeth without affecting the look of your smile at all.

About white fillings

White fillings are designed to protect and strengthen teeth when there is a cavity in the tooth surface. Fillings seal the hole and help to reduce the risk of infection spreading to others parts of the tooth. White fillings are made from dental composite and resins. They are matched to the shade of your teeth to ensure that they cannot be distinguished from the natural tooth.

In the past, metal amalgams were used to fill teeth. However, nowadays white fillings are much more popular, as they are more aesthetically pleasing and safer. Many people have concerns about the potential toxicity of mercury and we are proud to promote amalgam-free dentistry.

We are able to fit new fillings and also replace old metal fillings with white fillings.

Does having a filling hurt?

The procedure to place a white filling is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you don’t need to worry about experiencing pain. After treatment, your tooth will feel numb for a short while, but you shouldn’t feel any discomfort.

Does a filling last forever?

Fillings should last for a couple of years, but they don’t last forever. Once your filling starts to wear, we will discuss replacing it with you and arrange an appointment at a time that is convenient to you.

If you’d like to book in for a filling or you would like to find out more about white filings at Liverpool Dental Spa, simply call us, fill in an online form or pop in and visit us if you’re in Liverpool.

The Different Types of Invisible Brace

February 16th, 2015

At Liverpool Dental Spa, we recognise that many of our clients desire complete discretion from their orthodontic treatment and offer an array of innovative clear braces to create gorgeous smiles with minimal impact smile aesthetics during the treatment process. Here are some of our incredible invisible braces:

Invisalign: the leading clear brace treatment on the market, Invisalign has already helped more than 1 million people in the world to gain a perfect smile in secret. This system uses a collection of custom-designed aligners, which are made entirely from transparent plastic and contain no metal parts, to straighten the teeth. The aligners work in sequence and each appliance sits over the teeth for two weeks.

Clearstep: Clearstep has a very similar treatment process to Invisalign as it also uses a set of bespoke, removable braces to straighten out orthodontic issues. Clearstep is ideally suited to anyone with minor or moderate issues.

Perfect Clear: this unique system uses bespoke K positioners, which are completely transparent, to gently guide the teeth into the correct position. The positioners are light and comfortable and you can take them out to clean your teeth, eat and drink, for maximum convenience.

MTM No Trace Brace: this lingual brace system is the ultimate treatment for people who are desperate to keep their braces a secret. These braces work in almost exactly the same way as traditional fixed braces, but they are fixed to the back of the teeth, so nobody will be able to see them.

If you would like to learn more about our invisible braces and find out which treatment would be best for you, why not call us today and book a consultation? We look forward to meeting you and enabling you to create a stunning new smile in secret!

Do You Need Dental Implants?

February 10th, 2015

If you have missing teeth, we strongly recommend investigating tooth replacement treatment. Gaps in the smile can affect the aesthetic of your smile, your confidence and your ability to eat a range of foods. Modern treatments provide a really effective and natural way of dealing with gaps and restoring your smile.

There are various tooth replacement treatments available, including dentures, dental bridges and dental implants.

Do you need dental implants?

Dental implants are the source of interest and intrigue, as they are the newest tooth replacement on the block and they provide a long-term solution for lost teeth. Implants are small titanium screws attached to prosthetic teeth to form a new tooth that looks and functions like a natural tooth. As titanium is biocompatible, the implant is actually able to blend into the bone tissue and this gives the implant the same level of stability as a tooth root.

If you have missing teeth, dental implants could be the answer. With implants, you can enjoy the same level of functionality as with healthy natural teeth and you won’t be able to tell the difference between the new tooth and your natural teeth. Implants will enable you to speak clearly, eat properly and smile with confidence and they can be used for patients with a single lost tooth, a few missing teeth or a full set of missing teeth.

Are dental implants the best option for me?

Dental implants offer a host of benefits and they are a great option for most patients. However, there may be other options that you might like to consider. If you have missing teeth and you would like to find out about the treatments available to you, we recommend organising a consultation. When you come and see us, we will talk to you about the different treatments we have, explain the pros and cons and help you to make an informed choice.

Improve Your Smile with Invisalign

February 6th, 2015

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that promises to improve the look of your smile with minimal fuss and virtual invisibility. If you’ve been looking for a treatment that enables you to enjoy a beautiful smile without dealing with the stigma of wearing a visible brace, Invisalign is just what you’ve been searching for.

Invisalign clear braces offer an amazing alternative to traditional fixed braces for adults and teenagers, and they give you the option to go through treatment without anyone even being able to tell that you’re wearing a brace.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign treatment involves wearing multiple removable appliances that are made according to your personalised treatment plan. We use sophisticated computer software to plot the movement of the teeth and the individual plan is used to create your Invisalign aligners. Each patient receives a set of bespoke aligners and they are designed to be worn in order, with each aligner placed over the teeth for two weeks and then swapped until the treatment is complete.

Invisalign aligners produce gentle forces that move the teeth over the course of time. The aligners are shaped differently to allow room for tooth movement.

What do Invisalign aligners look like?

Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic and they look similar to a mouth guard, which is worn for sport. They are thin and light and they simply slide over the teeth. Once they are on your teeth they are virtually invisible, so you can smile without the anxiety of showing people your brace.

How long does treatment take?

Invisalign treatment is not usually a quick-fix, but it does provide an excellent solution for patients who require minor or moderate correction. On average treatment takes around 12 months. However, times vary according to how much movement is required.

Six Facts About Sleep Apnoea

February 4th, 2015

Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder that can affect your quality of sleep and disrupt your sleeping pattern. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we understand the importance of a good night’s sleep and we can provide assistance for patients who snore or suffer from sleep apnoea or bruxism. If you’re suffering, we are here to help.

If you’re not familiar with sleep apnoea, here are six facts to fill you in:

  1. Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder that affects breathing: sleep apnoea causes interrupted breathing while you sleep. This occurs when the airway becomes blocked and air flow is reduced and then stopped completely.
  2. Sleep apnoea is diagnosed with the airway is blocked for 10 seconds or more: apnoea is a term given when the airway is completely blocked for more than 10 seconds. If the airway is partially blocked, this is known as hypopnoea.
  3. Sleep apnoea is more common in men: sleep apnoea is more common in men than women. In the UK, around 2 percent of middle-aged women suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea, compared to 4 percent of middle-aged men.
  4. Having a thick neck increases the risk of sleep apnoea: having a large or thick neck increases the risk of sleep apnoea. Men with a neck circumference of 17 inches (43 cm) have a greater risk of developing sleep apnoea than those with a smaller neck circumference.
  5. Drinking alcohol makes symptoms of sleep apnoea worse: drinking alcohol makes symptoms of sleep apnoea and snoring worse because alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat. If you suffer from sleep apnoea or you snore, you should avid drinking alcohol in the evenings.
  6. Sleep apnoea can be life-threatening: in severe cases, sleep apnoea can be life-threatening, as airflow is blocked while you sleep. If you have severe sleep apnoea, you may be advised to wear breathing apparatus while you sleep. This involves wearing an oxygen mask to help you breathe.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and at Liverpool Dental Spa, we’re desperate to share the love and create some stunning smiles. With our amazing range of cosmetic dental treatments, we can transform your smile to ensure you look and feel fantastic in February!

The benefits of cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is concerned with the appearance of the smile and it is one of the most exciting and fast-moving areas of dentistry. We are really proud to be able to offer a host of cosmetic treatments to transform smiles and give our clients bags of confidence.

Cosmetic dentistry has obvious benefits for the look of the smile and it can correct lots of different flaws and imperfections, such as chipped and uneven teeth and staining, but it also has other advantages.

Studies also suggest that a nice smile can help you to secure a job or a promotion and make you more attractive to potential partners, so a new smile really could change your life!

Cosmetic dental treatment at Liverpool Dental Spa
