New Patients Will Receive A Warm Welcome In Liverpool

Wednesday, September 4th, 2013

We often receive new patients to our dental spa in the heart of Liverpool and we pride ourselves on offering a friendly and welcoming experience.

So what happens first?

After booking a consultation, when you first enter our dental spa you will get to meet our friendly team of staff and have a look around the practice, including the spa! Before any treatment is done we always have a consultation with a new patient so we can find out a little more about you and you can ask any questions you have, we will be more than happy to answer all patient questions.

We also discuss what you would like for your teeth, if you are looking for a celebrity look, or perhaps would just like to remove minor staining, we can discuss all treatments options during the consultation so that we work together towards a common goal-a beautiful and confident smile.

What else happens during the consultation?

We can then get you comfortable in the dental chair and use our state of the art dental technology to create a computer imaging of your teeth. We can then use this to apply any changes we want to the teeth to see how treatment would look. This also helps us when custom making any treatments and gives patients a visual of how their teeth will look after treatment.

We always strive to look at patients face, teeth, lips and gums when planning treatment so that everything is balanced on the face and is in proportion.

During the initial consultation we will also discuss the costs of treatment so that patients are fully aware of how much treatments are before they fully commit to having any work done.

Contact the team at Liverpool Dental Spa now for more information about our modern, friendly practice in the heart of Liverpool.

Treating The Cause Of Headaches And Migraines In The Heart Of Liverpool

Thursday, August 29th, 2013

Headaches are very common and in most cases they come and go without any real problem; however, if you suffer from severe headaches or migraines or you have headaches on a regular basis, this can be very debilitating.

What causes headaches?

There are many possible causes of headaches, from dehydration and vision problems, to teeth grinding and TMJ disorder and stress. At Liverpool Dental Spa we understand how headaches and migraines can impact day to day life and we explore different treatments and therapies to help patients to live a more comfortable life.

What can be done for headaches and migraines?

Over the years we have found that dental treatment can be very effective for headaches and migraines. We offer pain management consultations for patients, which enable us to discuss symptoms and possible cause and determine whether there are treatments that could be of benefit. In some cases, headaches and migraines are linked to TMJ disorder, which affects the temporomandibular joint, which joins the skull to the jaw.

TMJ disorder is a term used to describe symptoms including pain in the jaw, headaches, restricted movement in and around the jaw and clicking and popping noises when you move your jaw. TMJ disorder is often associated with teeth grinding, which is known as bruxism; many people grind their teeth during the night subconsciously and this can result in headaches, worn biting surfaces and chipped teeth.

One solution we can suggest for teeth grinding is a nigh guard, which is a custom-made appliance, which helps to prevent tooth to tooth contact during the night.

If you suffer from headaches and migraines and painkillers are doing the trick, give us a call today at Liverpool Dental Spa and find out if we could help to make your life pain-free.

Treating Gum Disease In The Heart Of Liverpool

Monday, August 26th, 2013

Gum disease is a common oral disease, but it is preventable and we recommend regular check-ups to all our clients. In the early stages, the symptoms of gum disease may be very mild and this is why check-ups are so important, as they allow your dentist to detect changes in the mouth and early warning signs and treat the problem as soon as possible.

What is gum disease?

Gum disease is an oral health condition, which is caused by bacteria in plaque; the bacteria irritate the gums, causing them to become inflamed and painful. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease, which can be treated fairly easily with good oral hygiene; however, if it is left untreated, it can develop into periodontal disease, a severe form of gum disease.

Symptoms of gum disease include bleeding when you brush your teeth, swollen and sore gums, an unpleasant taste in the mouth and redness in the gums.

What can be done to treat gum disease?

We recommend oral hygiene sessions for patients with gum disease; intensive cleaning treatments remove plaque and bacteria from the mouth and are much more powerful than brushing alone. Gingivitis can usually be treated with hygiene treatments alone, while periodontal disease is much more difficult to treat and requires careful management. Our clients are provided with personalised treatment plans to cater for their needs and will see dentists and dental hygienists as part of their gum disease treatment.

We actively promote preventative dental care and we recommend monthly check-ups for all our patients at Liverpool Dental Spa.We also highly recommend hygiene treatments for patients with a high risk of developing gum disease.

Dental Crowns For Tooth Restoration In Liverpool

Friday, August 23rd, 2013

Dental crowns are a very popular treatment; they are used to strengthen teeth that have been weakened through decay or injury. Dental crowns are also known as caps because they sit over the top of the natural tooth.

What are crowns and why would I need one?

Dental crowns are a type of restoration; they are used to strengthen teeth that are weak as a result of decay, injury or a large filling. Dental crowns can be made from a wide range of materials, including precious metals, ceramic fused to metal and porcelain. Many people prefer all-ceramic or ceramic fused to metal crowns, as they produce an attractive aesthetic with the crown blending in with the colour of the natural tooth.

We may advise you to have a dental crown if you have had a large filling, you have been involved in an accident, you have fallen or your tooth has been injured while playing sport, for example or you have had root canal treatment. You may also need a crown if you have had a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.

Crowns can also have aesthetic benefits for your smile.

What are the advantages of a dental crown?

Dental crowns have many benefits for your oral health, as well as the look of your smile. Crowns help to strengthen the tooth and protect the rest of the tooth from damage and they also improve the function of the tooth.

The treatment process

Crowns are custom-made for each patient. The crown is manufactured based on images and impressions of the affected tooth to ensure that it fits perfectly. Before a crown is fitted, the tooth is prepared, which involves removing decayed or damaged tissue and cleaning the tooth thoroughly; an impression is then created and the crown is manufactured. We are delighted to offer our clients same-day restorations thanks to the amazing Cerec technology, meaning you can enjoy your new smile straight away. For more information on dental crowns contact us at Liverpool Dental Spa today.

Tooth Restoration In One Appointment In The City Of Liverpool

Thursday, August 22nd, 2013

If you thought having a new crown or a set of veneers took weeks, think again. Thanks to amazing Cerec technology, we can now provide patients in Liverpool with same-day bespoke restorations.

What is Cerec?

Cerec technology is innovative and exciting and it saves patients having to make repeat visits to their dentist. In a single day, we can design, manufacture and place new restorations, meaning you can reap the benefits of treatment straight away and enjoy the treatment process without having to worry about multiple injections and spending hours in the dental chair.

Cerec technology uses images of your teeth to design custom-made restorations, including crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers and this information is then sent to the milling section, which is responsible for manufacturing the restorations.

What are the benefits of Cerec?

Cerec has a host of benefits for dentists and patients. The treatment process is much shorter, with patients able to have their permanent restoration fitted on the same day as the tooth is prepared. Normally, the process of sending away an impression, manufacturing the crown and then sending the crown back to be fitted takes around 2 weeks; with Cerec, we can do all this on the same day, which eliminates the need for multiple injections, repeat treatment sessions and temporary restorations.

Cerec is also beneficial for dentists because it allows them to get more involved in the design process. The procedure is also much less messy, as there is no need to use dental putty and the process is more accurate.

We use the finest quality materials to produce a range of restorations and we colour match your restorations to ensure a natural looking finish and a healthy smile. If you would like to find out more about same-day restorations, call us today!

Enhance Facial Aesthetics Along With Your Teeth At Liverpool Dental Spa

Monday, August 19th, 2013

Do you wish you looked younger? Are you looking to roll back the years? Have you just had dental treatment and are desperate to treat yourself to a facial treatment to complement your new smile? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we may be able to help!

What is Juvederm?

Juvederm is a facial treatment, which uses natural substances to add volume and definition to the face. Juvederm is injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles and lines, add plumpness to the cheeks and create a younger, brighter complexion.

Juvederm is a popular treatment for laughter lines, crow’s feet, frown lines and lines around the nose and lips and it can also be used to add volume to the lips and bounce to the cheeks.

What causes lines and wrinkles?

As we age, we lose collagen, a valuable fibre, which is found in many cells in the body. Collagen gives skin its firmness and bounce and without it, the skin can start to look dull and saggy and lines and wrinkles start to appear. Juvederm is a safe, non-invasive means of restoring volume to the skin and producing a younger look.

What does treatment involve?

The treatment process is simple and safe; a fine needle is used to inject Juvederm into specific areas of the face, depending on where the client feels they need treatment. Usually, treatment sessions are over within 40 minutes and the procedure is painless.

The results of treatment usually last 6-9 months and then treatment can be topped-up to prolong the results.

How Does Sedation Help Dental Phobia Patients In Liverpool?

Thursday, August 15th, 2013

Many people feel very anxious when they have to go to the dentist and for some, the anxiety is so profound that they avoid going to the dentist for long periods of time, which pits their oral health at risk. We understand that for patients with severe nerves and dental phobia, a trip to the dentist is a daunting experience and we offer sedation to help make the treatment process less stressful and traumatic.

What is sedation?

Sedation is a treatment used to make the process of having dental treatment less daunting for nervous patients; it induces a state of deep relaxation and helps patients to feel calmer before and during treatment. Sedation is not the same as general anaesthetic because you do not lose consciousness during the procedure; you will be able to hear your dentist and speak to them if you wish, but you will not feel any pain and the chances are that you won’t remember much after the procedure.

What happens after treatment?

After treatment, the effects of the sedative will start to wear off; you will probably feel a little drowsy to begin with and we will keep you in to monitor you until you have come around and feel a little livelier. It is important to rest when you get home and you should arrange for somebody to give you a lift, as you will not be able to drive.

Who can benefit from sedation?

Sedation is very beneficial for nervous patients and patients who suffer from dental phobia. Sedative medication helps patients to feel relaxed and calm and it can also help to encourage patients who have not been to a dentist for a long time to pluck up the courage and have the treatment they need, as patients are comforted by the fact that they won’t feel anything during the procedure. Sedation may also be beneficial for patients with a sensitive gag reflex and those who require lengthy treatment sessions.

Dental implant treatment has many benefits, but it does usually take some time; however, we are delighted to offer clients an amazing implant system, which enables you to enjoy a brand new smile all in one appointment. All-on-4 produces same day, amazing smiles so you can start enjoying your new smile after a few hours, rather than a few months.

What is All-on-4 and how does it work?

All-on-4 is an implant system, which uses four dental implants to secure a full arch of new teeth; usually, between 6 and 10 dental implants are required to support a full arch of teeth. All-on-4 implants are placed on the same day as the new teeth, which means that patients can start enjoying the benefits of treatment immediately.

All-on-4 implants are able to support an entire arch of new teeth because they are placed at specific angles at the front and back of the mouth. Two implants sit at the front of the mouth and they are positioned at 90 degree angles, while two are located at the back of the mouth and placed at 45 degree angles; this makes full use of the strong bone tissue at the front of the mouth.

What are the advantages of All-on-4?

The most obvious advantage of All-on-4 is that treatment can be carried out and completed on one day; usually, implant treatment takes at least 5 months. All-on-4 enables patients to make use of their new teeth straight away and start reaping the benefits of implant treatment, such as improved tooth function and an attractive smile. As treatment is completed on a single day, there is no need o make repeat appointments and arrange time off work.

All-on-4 is a great solution for people who have experienced troubles with dentures in the past, as there is no risk of the new teeth slipping or irritating the gums because of a poor fit; All-on-4 implants give patients peace of mind and the confidence to eat and drink without any risk of their denture coming loose.

What are Damon braces and Who Will They Benefit In Liverpool?

Friday, August 9th, 2013

Damon braces are an exciting and innovative orthodontic treatment. These fixed braces offer an amazing alternative to traditional fixed braces for patients with moderate or severe orthodontic needs.

What are Damon braces?

At Liverpool Dental Spa we are proud to offer the latest treatments and Damon braces are one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments on the market. This fixed brace system uses cutting-edge technology to move the teeth quickly and gently; the brackets use a sliding mechanism, which reduces friction and increases comfort and there are no painful bands to worry about.

What is so good about Damon braces?

Damon braces are highly effective and they have a range of benefits for patients who would have previously only had a choice of traditional fixed braces. Damon braces work quicker than conventional fixed braces, they are more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing, as the wires and brackets are much more discreet and they are also easier to clean and maintain than other braces.

Treatment time with Damon braces is around 4-6 months shorter than traditional fixed braces and in the vast majority of cases there is no need for tooth extraction before treatment.

Who can benefit from Damon braces?

Damon braces are suitable for most orthodontic patients, but they are an excellent choice for patients in Liverpool who are looking for a convenient, comfortable and quick treatment. Damon braces are ideal for those with complex orthodontic needs, as they can achieve a lot of movement and they provide a great deal of support for the teeth. Damon braces are also very discreet, so they are a good option for the more image-conscious patient.
