How to Treat a Broken Tooth

Thursday, May 14th, 2015

The general wear and tear of daily life can take its toll on the teeth and if you have chipped, worn or broken teeth, we have some amazing restorative remedies on offer. We can also provide urgent assistance for dental injuries. Simply call us and we will do our best to get you an appointment as quickly as possible.

Composite bonding for broken teeth

In minor cases when a tooth is not extensively damaged, we may recommend a procedure called composite bonding to treat a broken, chipped or worn tooth. Composite bonding is more affordable, quicker and less invasive than veneers and it offers amazing cosmetic benefits as well as adding strength to the teeth.

Bonding is a technique that uses dental composite, a soft, tooth-coloured material that hardens when exposed to strong light. This repairs the teeth and improve the look of the smile. Your dentist will mould the composite when it is soft and then harden it using a curing light once they are happy with the result. Composite bonding can be used to repair chips and restore worn surfaces and edges, re-shape the teeth and decrease gaps between teeth.

What are the advantages of dental bonding?

Dental bonding produces effective results rapidly. Treatment is usually complete within an hour and you’ll notice the difference immediately. Although bonding doesn’t last as long as veneers, this treatment is much less expensive and it can be replaced very easily in the event of any damage occurring. Bonding is also painless, so you can enjoy amazing results without any worry at all.

If you like the sound of bonding and you’re searching for an easy way to transform chipped, worn and broken teeth into a beautiful, functional smile, call us today!

What Exactly is Cerec Technology?

Friday, April 24th, 2015

You may have heard dentists talking about the wonders of Cerec, but what exactly is Cerec and how could it benefit patients in Liverpool?

What exactly is Cerec?

Cerec is a form of advanced dental technology that gives dentists the ability to design and crate new bespoke restorations on-site. The process is incredibly quick and the technology takes care of all aspects of treatment, from the initial imaging and planning to the manufacture. Traditionally, patients who need a new crown or inlay visit their dentist and two weeks later, they have their restoration fitted. The stage in between takes place at a dental laboratory, where technicians use impressions of the tooth created by dentists, to make the new restoration. With Cerec, the entire process takes place at the clinic and the new restoration can be fitted in the same day.

Cerec uses images of the teeth captured by a digital camera to form new restorations. At the first stage, the images are converted into models by state of the art design software. These designs are then sent to the milling machine and the manufacturing process takes place. The bespoke restoration is ready in minutes and it is then fitted by your dentist.

What are the advantages of Cerec?

There are lots of advantages of Cerec treatment for dental patients and dentists. The speed of treatment is greatly reduced from two weeks to a single session and there is no need for temporary restorations, multiple treatments or putty impressions. These can be uncomfortable for some patients who have a sensitive gag reflex. The process is more accurate, everything can be done under the same roof and dentists can exert more influence at the design stage.

We are able to use Cerec to create same-day custom-designed crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. If you would like to find out more about sensational Cerec, call us today and make an appointment.

 

Da Vinci Veneers are Durable and Delicate

Thursday, April 2nd, 2015

Da Vinci veneers have been leading the way in stunning smile design for over 25 years and if you’re dreaming of a flawless smile, this could be the perfect choice. A firm favourite with celebrities, Da Vinci veneers are durable, delicate and capable of achieving your dream smile!

About Da Vinci veneers

Da Vinci veneers are one of the most effective cosmetic dental treatments on the market and they have been helping to transform smiles and make people feel more confident for a quarter of a century. These ultra-thin veneers are more durable than traditional porcelain veneers and they are also thinner, which makes for a less invasive treatment process.

Da Vinci veneers are resistant to staining and although they are very thin and delicate, they are also robust.

Who can benefit from Da Vinci veneers?

There are a host of benefits on offer for patients who choose to have Da Vinci veneers and they are an excellent option for anyone who is looking to improve the aesthetic of their smile. These beautiful veneers can be used to address common aesthetic issues, including stained or discoloured teeth, worn surfaces, uneven edges, spaces between the teeth and misalignment.

Veneers don’t just transform the look of the smile, they can also have major benefits for your self-esteem.

How long does treatment take?

We can usually complete Da Vinci veneer treatment in two to three sessions, which take place two weeks apart. The first sessions are used to plan treatment and prepare the teeth, while the second session is used to fit the veneers. As Da Vinci veneers are very thin, preparation is minimal and simply involves taking away an incredibly thin layer of the tooth surface. This makes space for the veneers and helps to create a natural look. Once your bespoke veneers are ready, they can then be secured onto the teeth using dental adhesive.

If you’re dreaming of a sparkly smile this spring, what are you waiting for? Call us today to book your consultation!

We are proud to champion the belief that prevention is better than cure and we offer an array of general dental treatments in addition to the latest cosmetic, restorative and orthodontic services.

Children’s dentistry at Liverpool Dental Spa

Dental care is so important for children and we love to welcome young patients to our clinic. We have a very caring and warm approach and we  make children feel safe and comfortable and to prevent them from feeling scared. We know that the sound of dental drills and whirring instruments can be pretty frightening, but we’re here to make every dental trip fun and ensure that kids look forward to going to the dentist. We’ve got toys, books and films aplenty and our dentists are always willing to give children a tour, answer their questions and show them how to keep their teeth and gums healthy.

In addition to routine check-ups, we also offer preventative services for children, including fluoride varnish and fissure sealant treatment. These simple, painless treatments can make a massive difference to children’s oral health by reducing the risks of tooth decay. Fissure sealant treatment creates a sealant barrier between the pits in the surface of the tooth and food debris and bacteria, while fluoride varnish strengthens the enamel.

Whatever your needs, we are here to help! We have an experienced dental team and a beautifully designed clinic.

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.

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!

Lighten Up Your Smile This Winter With Liverpool Lumineers

Monday, October 20th, 2014

What better way to beat the winter blues than with a bright and beautiful new smile? Whether you’re aiming to dazzle at the Christmas party or you’re determined to start 2015 with a bang, Lumineers promise to give you a flawless, radiant smile.

What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are veneers with a difference! These amazing veneers produce stunning, natural looking aesthetics, as well as offering durability and strength. Lumineers are made from patented ceramic material made by Cerinate and they are up to twice as strong as traditional porcelain veneers.

Although they pack a lot of punch, Lumineers are actually much thinner than most other veneers and this means that minimal preparation is required. Usually, before you have veneers fitted, your dentist will remove a layer of the tooth surface to make extra space for the new veneers, but with Lumineers, this is often not necessary and the veneers can be bonded directly onto the teeth.

The treatment process is simple and quick with Lumineers and we can usually complete your treatment in just two sessions. During the first session, we discuss the treatment with you, go through the benefits and answer any questions you have; we then create the impressions of your teeth. During the second session, we will fit your new veneers and you can see your beaming new smile in all its glory.

How long do Lumineers last?

One of the best things about Lumineers, aside from the wonderful aesthetics they create, is their staying power. These veneers should give you a timeless, beautiful smile for at least 20 years provided that you take good care of them. Lumineers tend to be more expensive than other treatments, but they do last longer, so they represent a good long-term investment.

Advantages of a smile makeover

Cosmetic dentistry can make the world of difference to your confidence, as well as enabling you to enjoy a stunning new smile. With a gorgeous smile, you’ll feel confident and happy when you meet new people, go for interviews or dates or find yourself in situations when your smile is in the spotlight.

Watch Dental Imperfections Vanish with Veneers in the Heart of Liverpool

Monday, September 29th, 2014

Have you ever dreamed of a treatment that could make all your dental woes vanish in an instant? With veneers, your dreams of a perfect smile could become a reality.

If you have chipped or stained teeth, your teeth have uneven edges, you have gaps or misshapen teeth, veneers could be the solution you’ve been searching for.

About veneers

Veneers are a very effective way of covering aesthetic dental problems and creating a brand new smile, which looks amazing and gives you a confidence boost. Veneers are often compared to false nails because they sit on top of the natural teeth; they are shaped and coloured to mirror natural teeth and there are various designs available, so you’re able to create your own design.

Once they are in place, veneers look beautiful and they should last for many years.

Veneer treatments

We are proud to offer our clients a choice when it comes to veneer treatment and delighted to have some of the world’s best treatments right here in Liverpool. Our treatments include Lumineers by Cerinate, MACveneers and Da Vinci veneers.

Lumineers are manufactured from patented Cerinate material and they have a beautiful appearance, as well as great strength. Lumineers are up to twice as strong as porcelain veneers and they have a beautiful sheen, which makes the smile look radiant and healthy.

MACveneers are coloured from the inside out using a range of different shades to produce incredibly natural aesthetics; they are also very thin and extremely hard-wearing and they last up to 3 times as long as some other types of veneer.

Da Vinci veneers are famed for their aesthetic appeal and celebrities and television makeover shows love them. They come from America and are the perfect choice for a sparkly, bright smile.
