Sedation And Dental Phobia In Liverpool

Thursday, October 17th, 2013

Dental phobia can often immobilize sufferers from seeking the dental treatment they desperately need. Teeth, unlike the rest of the body, are unable to heal by themselves and need the assistance of a dentist. However, dentistry has moved on from the scary days of barbershop dentists and today’s dentist are trained in the care of nervous or dental phobic patients. Treatments have also improved, becoming faster, gentler and more efficient. Dental sedation has also proved to be a massive boon to dental phobic patients, allowing them to have treatment free of anxiety and pain.

What is dental sedation?

Dental sedation is an intravenous solution, which gently eases the patient into a state of pain-free calm. The patient is awake during treatment, but doesn’t feel any pain or feel an anxiety. They are fully conscious and able to breathe by themselves and to interact with their dentist, but throughout and after treatment they feel no negative emotions. Although the patient isn’t unconscious for their treatment it is recommended that a friend or family member accompany them home, as they may feel mildly disorientated afterwards.

Helping dental phobic patients receive treatment

Dental phobia can greatly affect a person’s health and well being, with dental problems only likely to get worse without the aid of a qualified dentist. Sedation and gentle dentistry helps nervous patients receive the treatment they need, free of stress and pain. Sedation is available at our clinic, along with an eager ear to listen to all your worries and queries and patient and gentle dentistry to help you feel confident during your time at the practice.

If you would like more information about dental sedation please do not hesitate to ask for a consultation at the practice in Liverpool. We would be very happy to help you achieve the smile and dental health you deserve, free from pain and worry.

Tuesday, October 8th, 2013

For a number of year’s celebrities has the monopoly on effective and innovative dental treatments. However, today, beautiful new smiles are available for all, with smile makeover produces such as Da Vinci veneers for the transformation of smiles.

What are Da Vinci Veneers?

Da Vinci veneers are composed of wafer thin porcelain shells, which are fitted over the natural teeth with a strong dental adhesive. Each Da Vinci veneer is crafted and created at the Da Vinci laboratory in California, custom fitted to the patient’s mouth, teeth, and facial appearance. Da Vinci veneers are a smile makeover treatment with 25 years of smile transformation history. One of the first choices for celebrity smiles and continually used on ABC’s ‘Extreme Makeover’,   Da Vinci veneers are the veneers of choice for a Hollywood smile.

How do Da Vinci veneers differ from other veneers?

Da Vinci veneers differ from other veneer products in many different ways, including:

  • They are thinner and therefore require only a small amount of dental tissue in comparison with other veneers.
  • They are very resistant to chipping and staining, which often ruins other veneers.
  • They have a longer life-span than other veneers, meaning you can keep your beautiful smile for much, much longer.

What can Da Vinci veneers do for my smile?

Da Vinci veneers can be used to treat many varying aesthetic dental problems, which include:

  • Deep staining caused by tobacco, drinks or medication: Some staining cannot be removed with a dental hygienist clean or tooth whitening, but veneers cover the tooth, meaning they can completely change its colour.
  • Gaps between the teeth: Gaps between the teeth can be corrected using braces, but this can often take months to achieve, as well as causing pain and embarrassment for the wearer. Dental veneers can fit and fill out small gaps to completely transform your smile without the use of wires and brackets.
  • Chipped, cracked teeth: If a tooth, especially a front tooth, has suffered cracking or chipping then a Da Vinci Veneer is a fast and beautiful solution to the problem.

Straight Teeth In Just Six Months For Patients In Liverpool

Monday, September 30th, 2013

Six Month Smiles is an innovative, fast acting fixed brace systems, which is a great alternate to traditional fixed braces for patients with less complex orthodontic needs.

What is Six Month Smiles?

Six Month Smiles is a fixed brace system, which uses discreet, light braces to move the teeth; the treatment focuses on the teeth that are visible when you smile and is designed for patients with mild orthodontic problems, which affect the front teeth. Six Month Smile braces are made from ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which are much more discreet than conventional fixed braces.

You may be wondering how on earth Six Month Smiles can work so quickly when other braces take at least 12 months; the answer is that Six Month Smiles focuses solely on the front teeth that are visible when you smile.

What are the benefits of Six Month smiles?

The major benefit of this treatment is that it only takes 6 months, which makes it an ideal option for patients who want results quickly and those who are eager to look their best for an upcoming special occasion, such as a wedding. Other benefits are that the braces are very discreet and treatment is very straightforward; once the brace is in place, you don’t need to do anything at all. The team behind Six Month Smiles has worked hard to develop technology, which moves the teeth quickly and painlessly and the braces use self-ligating wires to prevent pain.

Six Month Smiles can be used to address mild crowding, small gaps between the front teeth and minor issues such as a slightly crooked tooth or mild overlapping. If you need more intensive treatment, we have plenty of options available and will be happy to talk you through the different treatments and explain how they work and what benefits they could have for you.

A Fast And Effective Removable Brace Treatment In The City Of Liverpool

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013

If you have minor orthodontic problems and you are looking for a treatment that works fast and guarantees results, look no further than the Inman Aligner.

What is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a really impressive removable orthodontic appliance, which is designed for patients with minor orthodontic needs. The aligner is made from two important parts: a coiled spring and a metal bar; the metal bar sits at the front of the teeth and the spring lies at the back of the teeth. The spring and the bar generate forces, which effectively squeeze the teeth and cause them to move into the right position. The forces are powerful, but also very gentle and discomfort is kept to a minimum.

Who can benefit from the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is not suitable for all orthodontic patients; it is aimed at patients who have minor issues with their front teeth. If you have more complex needs, you will need a treatment, which can generate more movement and we will happily discuss treatment options with you. The Inman Aligner is often recommended for patients who have had treatment in the past and started to experience relapse; it can also be a great option for people who want to make very minor changes to the position of their front teeth in preparation for a special occasion, as it works very quickly.

How long does treatment take?

The best thing about the Inman Aligner is that it works rapidly, with most cases complete within just 16 weeks.

What are the advantages of the Inman Aligner?

Aside from the fact that the Inman Aligner is a very quick treatment, there are many other advantages. The Inman Aligner is comfortable and it uses the latest technology to reduce friction and prevent pain. Many people also prefer the freedom of a removable brace, as it enables them to eat without worrying about getting food trapped in the brackets of their brace; removable braces also make teeth cleaning easier and the actual brace is also easier to clean.

Introducing The Wand System For Nervous Patients In Liverpool

Monday, September 16th, 2013

Many patients suffer with an extreme fear of going to the dentist, some even having dental phobia and being unable to even enter a dental practice, let alone receive treatment. This then leads to a range of issues for patients, including decaying teeth, cavities, crumbling teeth and gum disease. We work hard to provide such patients with a range of treatments that are designed to make the dental experience as calming and relaxing as possible.

One of the fears many patients have is a fear of the needle and being injected. Because of this we have chosen to offer our patients is the innovative Wand treatment,which offers patients an entirely pain free injection, removing the fear of needles.

How can it do that?

Visually the Wand looks very much like a small pen, which is hooked up to a machine called a CompuDental processor. They both work together to stop the fluid from being injected suddenly, as this is what usually causes the pain when having an injection.

The Wand slows down the amount of fluid that comes out at a time so there is no sting when the injection begins. As well as removing the sharp sting, it also removes the need for other areas to feel numb such as the face, lips, nose and cheeks. Removing this issue means that after treatment patients are not waiting to feel their face again for hours after treatment,

If you feel that the Wand would be helpful to you when undergoing treatment, arrange a consultation with us today at the Liverpool Dental Spa in the city of Liverpool.

Friday, September 13th, 2013

If you are looking for veneers in Liverpool, let us introduce you to the amazing Lumineers veneers. Lumineers are made from patented materials and they are only available at selected practices in the UK.

What are Lumineers and what is so special about them?

Lumineers are very thin veneers, which are made from patented Cerinate material. Cerinate is a pressed form of porcelain, which produces amazingly natural aesthetics, as well as being extremely durable.

Lumineers are a very impressive veneer treatment; they have a beautiful glossy sheen and create truly amazing smiles and they should last for up to 20 years, making them a worthwhile investment.

Another advantage of Lumineers is that they are very thin, which means that minimal preparation is required and the tooth enamel can remain intact; in many cases, the teeth need to prepared and etched before veneers are placed to make room for the new veneer and this can damage to tooth structure. Lumineers are around the same thickness as contact lenses and they can be placed over the top of the natural teeth without causing any interference at all. Treatment only requires two sessions; the first session is to make the impressions for the new veneers and the second visit is to place the veneers; then you are free to show off your amazing new smile!

Could I benefit from veneer treatment?

Veneers are a very popular treatment because they can transform any smile. if you are unhappy with your smile, you wish you had a bright, healthy looking smile or you hate looking in the mirror and being confronted with rows of chipped and worn teeth, veneers could be an ideal treatment for you. Lumineers can be used to address problems such as discolouration and staining, chipped and broken teeth, worn teeth and spaces between the teeth and they may also be an option for patients who have very minor problems with the alignment of their teeth who don’t want to have orthodontic treatment.

Get Better Fitting Dentures In Liverpool

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013

Many people have a very negative view when it comes to dentures. They picture badly fitting bulky false teeth which look and feel uncomfortable. But in today’s modern dentistry we can now offer our patients implant retained dentures which offer stability, a permanent solution to missing teeth and dentures which fit perfectly and do not have to be glued into the mouth.

What are implant retained dentures?

Implant retained dentures are the most effective denture method. Dental implants are inserted into the roots of missing teeth where they will heal with the jawbone-this provides an incredibly stable foundation for the dentures. After the implants are placed the dentures can then be securely fixed on to the top f the titanium implants providing patients with a very natural, strong result.

What happens during treatment?

Whilst traditional dentures would rely on the suction from the gums, implant retained dentures are fully supported by the dental implants and work with both full and partial dentures.

The procedure;

  • We cut into the gum and drill into the jawbone area
  • We then place the implants into the holes and stitch the gums so that they can then heal
  • After a period of time when the gums have fully healed and the implants have fused with the jawbone we will add the dentures
  • After this patients are free to continue their normal lives eating and drinking what ever they like

We use local anaesthetic so that treatment is comfortable and patients do not feel pain. Dental phobic patients can discuss other sedation options with us in order to make patients as comfortable as possible. If you are interested in implant retained dentures, contact the team at Liverpool Dental Spa in Liverpool for more information and to arrange your consultation.
