Straighten Teeth Discreetly With Clear Braces For Patients In Liverpool

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013

If you’ve ever thought of having orthodontic treatment but couldn’t bear the thought of wearing highly visible metal braces, Liverpool Dental Spa may just have the perfect solution. Invisalign is a discreet braces treatment, which enables you to achieve a straighter smile without anyone knowing that you are wearing braces.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear brace system, which uses a series of aligners made from clear plastic to gently move the teeth. The aligners are manufactured based on the individual patient’s orthodontic prescription and treatment plan and each aligner is slightly different to allow room for tooth movement. Invisalign uses the latest computer imaging to plan the treatment so that patients can see their anticipated result before they even start treatment.

The Invisalign aligners are made from thin, light plastic and they are almost invisible to others, so you can smile with confidence throughout the entirety of the treatment process. Each aligner is worn for 14 days and then swapped with the next in the series; the aligners are removable but for optimum results it is important to wear them for at least 21 hours per day.

Why should I consider Invisalign?

You should consider Invisalign if you want a beautiful, straight and natural looking smile without the aggravation of wearing visible braces. Many of our clients want the end result without having to put up with wearing braces and Invisalign enables them to enjoy the results without any hassle or worries about how they will look when they have treatment.

Invisalign is also advantageous because it allows patients to have a degree of freedom; the aligners are removable, which not only gives you flexibility, but also the ability to eat and drink without any worries. Invisalign is also good news for your oral health because you take the aligner out to clean your teeth, enabling you to brush your teeth thoroughly. Invisalign aligners are also very comfortable; there are no metal components and no painful appointments to adjust or tighten the brace.

Thousands of people all over the world have already benefited from Invisalign treatment; call us today to book a consultation!

Treating Broken Teeth For Patients In The Heart Of Liverpool

Thursday, June 27th, 2013

The type of treatment provided for a broken tooth may depend on the severity of the tooth fracture or break. The location of the tooth may impact the treatment choice too, and whether or not the tooth may be saved.

Broken tooth treatment options

At Liverpool Dental Spa we offer individuals assessment to determine the extent of a broken tooth and the best possible treatment. When a front tooth is broken, the type of tooth restoration matters as it affects the look of our smiles. Broken teeth treatments include:

  • White fillings
  • Composite bonding
  • Dental veneers
  • Inlays or onlays
  • Dental crowns

Restoring front teeth

Front teeth may be restored with white filling or dental composite, or may require a porcelain veneer to improve the tooth’s appearance. Dentists prepare the broken tooth for dental composite bonding or bonding of dental veneers through etching technique. By slightly roughening the tooth surface, the dental composite or veneer securely bonds to the tooth surface for added strength. Once sculpted in place and polished, the tooth restoration looks just like a natural tooth.

Restoring back teeth or molars

Teeth at the back of the mouth that are used more for chewing may require a stronger type of dental restoration such as a cap or dental crown made of gold, zirconium or ceramic porcelain. Cavities once restored with amalgam fillings may be restored with white porcelain fillings as a safer mercury-free option.

Molars are particularly prone to tooth decay due to their location and difficulty to reach when cleaning. Regular dental check-ups and professional teeth cleaning, scaling and polishing may help to prevent cavities.

Fissure sealant may be applied to the tooth surface so that plaque and bacteria is less likely to adhere to the tooth grooves. Get in touch with us today for information about treating broken teeth.

The Link Between Headaches And Dental Pain For Patients In Liverpool

Tuesday, June 25th, 2013

Dental pain may trigger mild to severe headaches including migraine. We may experience dental pain due to:

  • Tooth infection
  • Damaged teeth
  • Teeth grinding
  • Temporo-mandibular joint disorder (TMJ)

Tooth infection

Poor oral hygiene and dental trauma may lead to tooth infection, dental abscess and gum disease. Some people may be prone to tooth infections due to other causes, including health conditions. When infection sets into the inner dental pulp of the tooth, headaches and facial pain may be experienced. Root canal treatment eliminates infection from tooth root canals so that a damaged tooth may be restored with a dental crown.

Damaged teeth

Damaged teeth may cause pain and headaches. Unsafe teeth whitening may cause tooth sensitivity, weaken tooth structure and lead to tooth fractures resulting in painful headaches. Damaged teeth that are left untreated may lead to an abscess or bite disorder. Seeing a dentist to restore a damaged tooth is important to prevent oral and overall health deterioration.

Teeth grinding

Teeth grinding habits are known to cause facial pain and headaches. Teeth may become ground down too and become vulnerable to breakage and infection. People who grind teeth during sleep or when anxious during the day may develop a bite disorder that triggers migraine.

Temporo-mandibular joint disorder (TMJ)

TMJ is a jaw joint disorder that may be very painful, causing migraine, neck and back pain. Some people are born with TMJ disorders due to developmental irregularities or genetics. Others may develop TMJ due to injury, malocclusion or bruxism teeth grinding habits.

At Liverpool Dental Spa in the heart of Liverpool we diagnose dental disorders that may be causing painful migraines. We offer treatment solutions including white fillings, root canal treatment, porcelain crowns and orthodontics. Get in touch with us for more information about the link between headaches and dental pain, and treatment options.

The Facts About Oral Surgery For Our Patients In Liverpool

Thursday, June 20th, 2013

Oral surgery has come a long way since the wild west. People receive oral surgery for a range of conditions including orthodontic disorders, oral cancer and dental extractions. Modern oral surgery is aimed at pain-free treatment so that we need not fear painful mind-images of forced teeth-pulling with forceps.

The need for oral surgery

Tooth decay may or may not develop from poor oral hygiene, leading to tooth infection where root canal treatment may be ineffective and the only alternative is a dental extraction. Similarly, a partially knocked-out or avulsed tooth may be beyond saving and may also require tooth extraction.

Some people are born with too many teeth in their mouths; dental overcrowding means that teeth have to be removed so that the remaining teeth may healthily develop in their proper positions. Leaving dental overcrowding untreated may lead to malocclusion or bite disorders.

Similarly, wisdom teeth may grow irregularly into neighbouring teeth causing impaction. By removing the wisdom teeth, the teeth may grow normally without pain and risk of oral infection. Our dentist assesses each person’s oral health condition and makes recommendations for oral surgery appropriate to their needs.

Pain-free oral surgery

At Liverpool Dental Spa in the city of Liverpool, we provide pain-free oral surgery so that individuals may receive the oral care needed without discomfort or fear. We provide the option of sedation and local anaesthetic for calmer and safer oral surgery.

At all times our dentists strive to preserve natural dentition and tooth extraction is a last resort to prevent further infection and oral trauma. We provide pre and post-operative guidance and care so that the experience does not cause distress. We may provide painkillers where necessary and antibiotics to reduce likelihood of infection after oral surgery.

Get in touch with us today for oral health screening and to learn about options in pain-free treatments such as oral surgery.

We Offer Sedation For Nervous Patients In Liverpool

Saturday, June 15th, 2013

It is not uncommon for people to suffer from fear of visiting the dentist and dental treatments. Their fear may be founded in past dental experiences, such as drilling sounds and pain, or may be due to dental phobia.

A child’s first experience of going to the dentist may lead to dental phobia or dental anxiety in adulthood, as may the experience of the dental environment and care.

 

Relaxed and pain-free dental treatment

At Liverpool Dental Spa in Liverpool we are sensitive to the needs of nervous patients and offer dental sedation as an option for relaxed and pain-free dental treatment. Combining sedation treatment with a warm and friendly treatment environment helps patients feel in control of their care and comfortable with receiving treatment.

A person may avoid receiving dental treatment due to their dental phobia, and their oral condition and overall health may deteriorate as a result. By offering the sedation treatment option, we intend to make dental treatment available and accessible for all, including those with dental phobia.

 

The dental sedation option

Individuals have options in conscious or deep sleep sedation for total calmness during dental treatment and a more pleasant experience. There are a range of sedation options including sedation medication, inhalation sedation and conscious sedation.

Nowadays, sedation with treatments such as The Wand reduces fear of needles and dental treatments. Local or general anaesthetic options ensure pain-free treatment that may otherwise place a barrier to receiving needed dental care.

Dental sedation may be provided to give calmness while consciousness is maintained or may be administered similar to a general anaesthetic for a deep sleep during treatment.

 

Accessing dental sedation

Get in touch with us today to learn more about our dental sedation choices and how they may provide a more relaxed experience for pleasant dentistry experience and memories.

Sculptra Treatment To Rejuvenate Patients in Liverpool

Thursday, June 13th, 2013

When we are young, our skin rejuvenates itself faster and appears smoother. As we age, wrinkles and lines start to develop on the face. Skin folds may appear around the nose and mouth. We may see wrinkles between our eyebrows, on our foreheads and around our eyes.

An ageing skin makes us look more drawn and tired. We lose that fresh youthful look. The effects of ageing are accentuated by excess exposure to the sun, smoking and a lack of hydration. For some the effects of ageing or skin damage are more noticeable than others.

Regaining a youthful complexion

At Liverpool Dental Spa we offer individuals the opportunity to revitalize their skins the natural and safe way with Sculptra. A collagen-based derma filler, Sculptra is easily inserted within the skin wrinkles, building on the skin’s natural collagen levels to fill out the skin lines for a smoother effect.

Sculptra works naturally, adding volume to the face so that it no longer looks drawn and sunken. The treatment is non-invasive, meaning that it is easily administered in a pain-free way with minimal recovery time. There are no stitches or scars, the skin simply appears more defined and younger-looking.

The benefits of facial rejuvenation

Not only does Sculptra enhance the skin’s collagen quality, but Sculptra enables individuals to improve their appearance in an energised manner. Even deep wrinkles may be smoothed with Sculptra, and the lips or mouth lines may be volumised for more appeal. Skin folds in the neck and around the jaw may be filled out with collagen too, for a total younger looking skin.

Sculptra gives an aesthetically-pleasing appearance, boosting skin health and confidence for brighter feelings and experiences. Get in touch with us today to learn more about what Sculptra may do for you.

Restorative Treatments For Patients In The City Of Liverpool

Tuesday, June 11th, 2013

Teeth easily become damaged and need to be restored with dental treatments to prevent oral infections, tooth decay and gum disease. There are many factors that contribute to teeth becoming damaged, including the effects of ageing.

Damaged teeth

Poor oral hygiene may lead to acidic bacterial build-up in saliva that erodes dental enamel, breaking down the tooth’s structure. Eating excessively sugary and acidic foods may have a similar effect.

Habits that weaken tooth makeup include incorrect teeth brushing technique, teeth grinding and smoking. Changing our habits may improve the condition of our teeth and gums.

Oral injuries from sport, accidents or assaults may also lead to damaged teeth that need treatment to prevent further oral trauma and illness. Wearing a mouth guard during sport may protect teeth from damage.

Restoring damaged teeth

At Liverpool Dental Spa in Liverpool we offer individuals choices in tooth restorations ranging from white fillings, inlays, onlays and crowns to dental bridges and implants.

Our porcelain crowns are particularly popular for restoring teeth following root canal treatment to remove infection, or to strengthen tooth structure. Teeth may chip, fracture or break causing further damage to gum tissue and bite function.

Having teeth restored with a dental crown, whether made of porcelain, gold or zirconium ensures that the existing tooth enamel is preserved and the inner tooth dentition protected from infection-causing bacteria. Damaged teeth, if left untreated, may lead to gum disease and tooth loss.

Access porcelain crown treatment

Get in touch with us to learn more about porcelain crowns and how they enhance the quality of our teeth. Within two appointments you may receive porcelain crowns made from the finest ceramics that mimic tooth shade and texture, making it hard to distinguish between existing teeth and those restored with a dental crown.

What Are The Benefits Of White Fillings For Patients In Liverpool?

Thursday, May 30th, 2013

The problem with amalgam fillings

Metal amalgam fillings are not just highly noticeable; they can also be mildly toxic. The amalgam used contains mercury, a highly toxic material, and scientists agree that the presence of mercury in these fillings will leach mercury into the mouth. The precise impact of the mercury on the mouth, however, is debatable, with scientists coming to opposing conclusion as to whether the small amount of mercury used in these fillings presents a health risk. Regardless, you can bypass this entire debate by simply opting for a white resin filling!

Standing out from the crowd

The aesthetic problem with amalgam fillings is that they resemble the very decay which they are trying to cover up. They may prevent further plaque acids from entering the tooth, but they serve as a reminder that such erosion occurred in the first place. White fillings, however, blend in far more subtly whilst serving the same protective role.

The importance of fillings

Dental decay occurs as the result of plaque acids and bacteria eating away at your tooth enamel. The prevention of this, via regular brushing and flossing, is obviously the most effect tooth protection treatment. If, however, your enamel is breached, then urgently getting a filling is imperative as, once your tooth’s inner pulp is exposed and infected, it is effectively dying. Dental fillings are important as they prevent you from either losing your tooth entirely or resorting to root canal treatment.
