Let Liverpool Dentists Restore Your Smile this Winter

November 24th, 2014

If your smile is in need of some restorative work this winter, we are here to patch up the teeth and restore your smile to its former glory. We offer a comprehensive range of restorative and tooth replacement treatments, from crowns and fillings to bridges, dentures and dental implants.

Fillings

Fillings are used when a tooth has a cavity. The cavity is filled to make the tooth stronger and more robust. White fillings offer natural looking aesthetics and provide a safer alternative to mercury amalgam fillings. Treatment to fill a tooth usually takes around an hour.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are a commonly used restorative treatment, which is used when a tooth is damaged or decayed. Crowns are positioned over the top of the tooth and they help to protect and restore the tooth. There are different materials that can be used to make a crown and we often recommend porcelain, as it provides a natural looking finish. Crown treatment usually takes 2 sessions and a crown should last for around 10 years. When a tooth is damaged, but not extensively, an inlay or onlay may be recommended. These restorative treatments are often referred to as a mid-point between fillings and crowns.

Tooth replacement: dental bridges, dentures and implants

Dental bridges, dentures and dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. Most commonly, bridges are used to replace a single tooth, while dentures are used to replace a number of missing teeth. Implants are a versatile treatment, which can provide an option for patients with any number of lost teeth. Implants are a long-term solution, that offers amazing aesthetics and optimum functionality, while dentures and bridges involve a quick and simple treatment process and natural looking results.

Say Goodbye to Tooth Imperfections with Amazing Veneers in Liverpool

November 20th, 2014

If imperfect teeth are getting you down and you’re dreaming of a perfect smile in time for Christmas, now is the time to visit Liverpool Dental Spa and make your dreams come true. With our incredible veneer treatments, we can address all kinds of  cosmetic flaws and create stunning, flawless smiles.

About veneers

This extremely popular cosmetic dental treatment is renowned for creating amazing looking smiles using small, tooth-shaped shells, which are fixed onto the surface of the natural teeth. Most veneer systems use porcelain veneers, which have a beautiful luminescent sheen. However, we also offer Lumineers, which are made using a patented pressed ceramic material.

Veneers can be used to combat aesthetic flaws such as chipped teeth, worn tooth edges and unsightly discolouration and they are also an effective means of creating a more glamorous, brighter smile. We can also use veneers to hide gaps between the teeth and address flaws with an individual tooth.

Veneer treatments

We offer an extensive collection of veneer treatments, including:

  • Da Vinci veneers: these veneers are often chosen by the Hollywood stars and are famed for their beautiful results. These porcelain veneers look stunning and they are the perfect choice for anyone who wants a smile that really stands out and gets them noticed.
  • Lumineers: Lumineers are made by Cerinate using patented pressed ceramics that offer strength as well as style. These veneers not only look incredible, they are also up to twice as strong as porcelain veneers.
  • MACveneers: MACveneers are coloured from the inside out using an array of hues for an amazing natural look. They are also incredibly hard-wearing and they are stain-resistant for a timeless look.

Everything You Need to Know About Damon Braces in Liverpool

November 18th, 2014

Damon Braces is one of the best orthodontic systems on the market, but what’s all the fuss about and could Damon Braces be the ideal choice for you?

The ins and outs

Damon Braces essentially are  fixed braces that use modern technology to minimise pain and reduce treatment time. Unlike conventional fixed braces, Damon Braces have self-ligating wires along with sliding brackets that reduce friction and increase the speed of tooth movement. They are considerably smaller and more discreet than ordinary fixed braces and they allow a huge amount of movement, which makes them a viable option for patients with complex orthodontic needs.

These braces are also able to create space, which means that most patients do not need to have teeth extracted before they start treatment.

What’s the treatment time?

Treatment time for Damon Braces varies according to the amount of movement required and what kind of issues the individual patient has. Typically, treatment with Damon Braces is around 4-6 months faster than ordinary fixed braces. When you have your consultation and your dentist has evaluated your needs, they will be happy to discuss treatment times with you.

Who is the ideal candidate for Damon Braces?

Appropriate for patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems, Damon Braces provide a really effective solution for problems with the bite, as well as the spacing and alignment of the teeth. They often provide an alternative to conventional fixed braces for patients who need a lot of movement and therefore cannot benefit from removable aligners.

Beautiful Botox Results in the Heart of Liverpool

November 12th, 2014

If you long for beautiful, radiant skin this autumn, Botox could be a perfect solution. Botox is an effective anti-ageing treatment that reduces the visibility of lines and wrinkles, giving you fresh, bright and youthful skin.

What exactly is Botox and how does it work?

Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which is used in the beauty and aesthetics industry to combat facial lines. Botox blocks nerve signals to the muscles in the face, which prevents muscle contraction and results in the skin looking completely smooth. We often recommend Botox treatment for patients who are concerned that they have very noticeable lines and folds around the eyes, nose and mouth.

Is Botox treatment safe?

Botox is a form of toxin, but it used in extremely small quantities and we have many years of experience and expertise in performing the procedure and creating natural looking results. Our aim is to enhance your natural beauty and we actively avoid the over-done look, which so many patients are fearful of when investigating Botox treatment. We use the latest treatment techniques in a safe and comfortable environment and our dentists are highly trained; we can assure you that you’re in the best possible hands!

The benefits of Botox

The most obvious benefit of Botox treatment is the result. After Botox, your skin will look smoother, clearer and younger and any lines or wrinkles will be much less visible. Botox treatment is incredibly simple and quick, only taking around 20 minutes per session, and the results are only temporary, which is beneficial for those who don’t want the pressure of making a decision about having long-term treatment. This treatment provides a safer, simpler and much faster alternative to cosmetic facial surgery and there is no recovery time, so you don’t need to worry about arranging time off or spending days in bed after treatment.

Treating Tooth Decay in the Heart of Liverpool

November 6th, 2014

Tooth decay is one of the most common preventable illnesses in the UK and at Liverpool Dental Spa we are determined to defeat decay for good. We offer preventative treatment, we are always here to offer advice and we have excellent treatments available for cavities.

What causes decay?

Dental decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth, which combines with food debris to create plaque. Plaque is also the main risk factor for gum disease. It is a sticky film-like substance, which sticks to the tooth surfaces and the gum line. When you eat, bacteria in the plaque release acids known as plaque acids. These acids erode the enamel and irritate the gums. When acids attack the enamel, it becomes weak and holes can eventually form. These are called cavities.

The risk of decay is increased by poor oral hygiene and a diet that contains a lot of sugary and acidic foods and drinks.

Preventing tooth decay

We offer highly effective preventative dental treatments for children to reduce the risk of cavities and protect the enamel. These include fluoride varnish and sealant treatment. We also offer advice about oral hygiene and diet for adults and we strongly recommend regular dental check-ups and sessions with our amazing dental hygienists.

Diet plays a really important role when it comes to oral health and we advise our patients to avoid eating a lot of sugary and acidic products, especially between meals, and to wait an hour before brushing after eating. If you get hungry between meals, we recommend healthy snacks such as raw vegetables, wholegrain crackers or natural yoghurt, rather than sugary treats like chocolate bars and sweets.

Treatment for decay

The most common treatment for a cavity is a filling. Fillings are used to fill the cavity, making the tooth stronger and reducing the risk of harmful bacteria spreading through the tooth. We recommend white fillings, which match the shade of the rest of the tooth. These fillings are made from dental composite. The procedure takes around an hour and we use local anaesthetic to numb the tooth to make sure you feel comfortable throughout treatment.

Get Your Skin Glowing with Liverpool Facial Treatments

November 4th, 2014

If you dream of dewy, glowing skin this autumn, why not treat yourself to one of our incredible facial treatments? Our non-surgical treatments refresh, revive and rejuvenate the complexion, giving you a stunning youthful look.

Our treatments include Botox, Juvederm and Restylane.

About Botox

Botox is a non-invasive treatment, which is particularly effective at battling lines and wrinkles. It is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which is injected into targeted zones of the skin to create a completely smooth complexion. Botox works by suppressing the action of the facial muscles and is excellent for crow’s feet, laughter lines and folds on the forehead.

Juvederm and Restylane

Juvederm and Restylane are filler treatments, which use ingredients found naturally in the body to add volume to the skin and enhance definition around the facial features. In addition to giving plumpness to the skin, fillers can also be used to make the lips look more voluptuous.

Fillers are a means of reviving the skin when there is an absence of collagen in the skin. The amount of collagen in the body decreases as you age and the skin loses firmness. With fillers, we can restore the natural bounce of youthful skin and create a smoother, softer complexion by reducing the visibility of lines, folds and wrinkles.

What does facial treatment involve?

Facial treatment at Liverpool Dental Spa is simple, stress-free and quick. Sessions usually last between 15 and 30 minutes and the process is really straightforward. During your consultation, we will explain what is going to happen and chat to you about the areas of your skin you want to treat. When you come in for treatment, we will inject Botox or filler into these areas of the skin. We use a very fine needle to minimise pain and we can use mild anaesthetic to numb the skin. After we have finished, you can head home or back to work and start enjoying the results of your treatment. The results of Botox and filler treatment usually last between 3 and 8 months.

Liverpool’s Dental Implants are Fang-Tastic!

October 31st, 2014

If you’re searching for a natural looking, durable and functional replacement for a missing tooth this autumn, we have a fang-tastic treatment for you: dental implants are the closest match to a natural tooth and they are suitable for patients of all ages.

About dental implants

A dental implant is a small post, which is made from titanium, which is secured into a hole in the jaw bone to act as a replacement for a missing tooth root. As titanium is compatible with the bone tissue, it is able to integrate into the bone and this enables the implant to provide the same level of stability for the new tooth as a natural root.

Once the integration process has taken place, a restoration is attached to the implant and this serves to replace the tooth crown. Implants are compatible with dentures, dental bridges and single crowns.

Why implants could be the best choice for you

Implants are a modern alternative to dentures and they represent a long term solution for patients of all ages. They are built to last and they are very easy to look after; they are also versatile and can be joined to bridges, dentures and crowns, which makes them a great choice for patients with varying dental needs.

Implants can help to reduce bone loss and they also offer optimum functionality; with implants, you can expect the same bite power as strong natural teeth, so no foods are off-limits.

How is an implant placed?

The procedure to place an implant is usually carried out under local anaesthetic. Your dentist will make a small incision into the gum tissue and then drill a small hole, which will act as the socket for the implant. Once the implant is securely in place, the incision will be closed and the healing and integration processes will begin. The permanent restoration is usually placed around 3-9 months after the implant.

Exorcise Goulish Gum Disease in Liverpool

October 30th, 2014

If you’re battling bleeding gums and you think you may have ghoulish gum disease, we are here to exorcise your dental demons and allow you to enjoy pain-free, healthy gums.

About gum disease

Gum disease is a common oral disease, which is most commonly caused by plaque. Plaque is a substance that forms in the mouth when bacteria and food debris are joined together by saliva. It is sticky and it clings to the gum line and the outer enamel surface of the teeth. When bacteria feed, they release plaque acids, which irritate your gums, causing them to become painful, red and tender. You may notice that your gums feel swollen and sore and they may bleed when you brush your teeth.

What to do if you have symptoms of gum disease

If you have signs of gum disease, including bleeding, painful and inflamed gums, call us and book an appointment. With gum disease, it’s best to treat the problem as soon as possible so that the condition doesn’t become more advanced. Mild gum disease is treatable, but advanced gum disease (periodontal disease) causes permanent damage to the gums and the underlying bone tissue, resulting in premature loss of the teeth.

If you have mild gum disease, also known as gingivitis, we can usually treat this effectively with hygiene treatments. We can also offer advice about how to prevent gum disease with good oral hygiene at home, diet and giving up smoking.

Preventing gum disease

Gum disease is preventable and simply devoting 5 minutes every day to oral hygiene will stand your gums in very good stead. Try to ensure you spend at least 2 minutes every morning and evening brushing your teeth, taking care to cover every surface of every individual tooth and avoiding brushing too firmly. Regular dental checks are also really important and we recommend sticking to a healthy diet and limiting the amount of sugar you consume.

If you have risk factors for gum disease, we also recommend seeing one of our incredible dental hygienists on a regular basis.
