Excellent Dental Care for the Whole Family

Monday, September 12th, 2016

Striving to provide communities with holistic dentistry care, Liverpool Dental Spa offers treatments for people of all ages.

Introducing infants to dental care

Our oral structures start to develop from birth. It is therefore important for infants to have a dental check-up so that they get used to dental care and to ensure that they are developing as they should.

Prevention of tooth decay and gum disease

Every member of the family is vulnerable to developing tooth decay or gum disease. Dentists and dental hygienists provide advice about oral hygiene practices and nutritious eating for stronger and healthier teeth and gums.

Six monthly dental check-ups enable a dentist to identify early signs of oral decay or disease. Emergency dentistry care is available for sudden oral trauma, including tooth ache and knocked out teeth. Seeing a dental hygienist ever three months for teeth cleaning, scaling and polishing helps to remove plaque and tartar where tooth brushes may not reach on a daily basis.

Orthodontic care

As toddlers develop milk teeth that are gradually replaced by permanent ones, orthodontic conditions may arise. Teeth may grow crooked or irregularly spaced. These conditions including protruding and overcrowded teeth may be treated with modern braces systems designed to improve oral function and facial aesthetics. Adults may similarly need teeth straightening and treatment for jaw disorders or bruxism.

Teeth replacement options

We offer choices in artificial teeth replacement for one or more missing teeth from tooth decay, gum disease or oral trauma. These natural looking options include crowns, bridges, dentures and dental implants. Dental implants act as replacements for tooth roots to which tooth restorations may be anchored for greater control over oral functions and a beautiful smile.

The Groundbreaking Inman Aligner

Friday, September 2nd, 2016

At Liverpool Dental Spa, we’re always on the watch for ground-breaking treatments that will make a positive difference to our clients and the Inman Aligner is one of our most treasured treatments. This innovative removable orthodontic appliance produces outstanding results in a matter of weeks, providing patients who have minor orthodontic issues with a swift and hassle-free alternative to traditional braces. If you’re looking for a fast and simple solution to troublesome front teeth, this could be the perfect choice for you.

About the Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a discreet, removable brace designed to align the teeth with minimal stress. The aligner works by generating forces that push and pull the teeth, moving them into position and creating beautifully straight smiles. These forces are produced by two main parts, which can be found behind the front teeth (a coiled spring) and along the front of the teeth (a fine metal bar). The Inman Aligner doesn’t promise complete invisibility, but it is a much more discreet option than many other types of brace, as the only part you can see is the metal bar.

The main advantage of the Inman Aligner is the speed of treatment. As this aligner is designed for patients who only need minor correction and it uses the latest technology, treatment times are incredibly short and most cases are completed within 16 weeks. With this treatment, you can also enjoy greater freedom afforded by having a removable brace. You can take your aligner out to eat and drink and you can also continue to brush your teeth as normal. This appliance targets the front teeth and is a great choice for people who don’t need the intensive treatment provided by conventional fixed braces and for those who have already had treatment and started to experience relapse.

If you think the Inman Aligner sounds like a perfect match for you, why not give us a call and book a consultation? Our expert dentists will be able to tell you more about the treatment and assess your needs to see whether this could be a viable option for you.

The Many Benefits of Six Month Smiles

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

If you’re looking for an orthodontic treatment that offers an amazing range of benefits, look no further than Six Month Smiles, our revolutionary teeth straightening treatment that takes just six months to produce beautiful smiles.

All about Six Month Smiles

Most fixed brace treatments take at least a year to straighten the teeth, so this is a really impressive treatment. Six Month Smiles uses the latest technology, including self-ligating wires, to move the teeth rapidly and offers a fast and comfortable alternative to traditional fixed braces. Speed is important for many patients, as they want to show off their new smile as quickly as possible, so this is a great option for those looking for short treatment times.

Six Month Smiles works much faster than traditional braces for two main reasons. Firstly, the technology is extremely advanced and this means that the actual movement of the teeth is quicker. Secondly, the braces focus solely on the front teeth, as these are the teeth than can be seen when you speak and smile.

Benefits of Six Month Smiles

The best thing about Six Month Smiles is the speed of treatment, but there are so many other advantages. These braces are made from tooth-coloured components, making them very discreet and the self-ligating wires help to prevent discomfort. As treatment works so quickly, these braces provide an ideal solution for people who want to look their best and have a deadline, such as a wedding celebration, an important interview or a graduation ceremony in mind.

Could this be the treatment for me?

Six Month Smiles is a great option for patients who have mild or moderate issues with their front teeth and an excellent choice for those who would prefer a more discreet brace than traditional fixed braces. We will be able to ascertain whether this is a good option for you during your consultation. We will also be happy to discuss other treatment options with you.

 

Set Your Teeth Straight with Invisalign

Tuesday, June 28th, 2016

Improve your smile with the treatment everyone’s been talking about from the experienced dentists at Liverpool Dental Spa.

With people’s lifestyles getting busier and more hectic, it’s hard to find the time – and money – to search out a procedure both discreet and effective that will fit in with your daily routine. But the search is over, thanks to the innovative technology of Invisalign. Used by over 32 million people the world over, the Santa Clara manufacturer has helped design the perfect aligners for the perfect smile – and courtesy of its transparent appearance, no one has to know you’re having this treatment other than yourself and your dentist.

Straight teeth don’t just mean a great smile, but great health. Crooked teeth are harder to clean, and are also one of the primary factors of decay and other dental issues. With at least 50 percent of patients experiencing tooth decay whilst wearing fixed braces, the Invisalign technology makes for an easier and more hygienic form of treatment – allowing the user the option to remove their aligners as and when they wish to.

The average timeline of treatment lasts from about six months to just over a year.  After consulting with your orthodontist, impressions of your teeth will be recorded along with X-rays that are then sent off to Align Technology, USA.  Through the use of computer simulation, a series of aligners gradually correcting your teeth into a straight position will be produced. You will then be required to wear them over a prescribed amount of time.  You will need to work through the sets every two weeks and, once your teeth are straightened, will require the use of a retainer. But again this will be clear and removable, ensuring complete flexibility and freedom.

Quick and Effective Braces Treatment

Wednesday, March 16th, 2016

In the past, fixed braces were the only solution for problems like crooked and crowded teeth and misalignment, but now there is a huge range of treatment options, including the Inman Aligner.

What is the Inman Aligner?

The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance that uses forces produced by a coiled spring and a metal bar to move the teeth. The forces squeeze the teeth, causing them to move. The Inman Aligner is a treatment for the front teeth. It focuses on the teeth that can be seen when you smile to reduce treatment time and is a great solution for patients who looking for a quick and discreet treatment.

Who is the Inman Aligner designed for?

The Inman Aligner is designed for patients who have minor orthodontic issues that affect the front teeth, for example mild crowding. As treatment is very quick, this is a popular choice for people who want to look their best for a special occasion. For example, brides or grooms who are preparing for their big day.

The Inman Aligner can also be beneficial for patients who have had braces in the past and started to suffer from relapse, which occurs when the teeth start to move out of position.

This treatment is not suitable for patients with more complex issues as it can only bring about a limited amount of movement. If you are not a suitable candidate for this treatment, we can discuss other treatments with you to find out what suits you perfectly.

How long does treatment take?

The most important advantage of the Inman Aligner is that it works incredibly quickly and much faster than almost all other treatments. Patients start to notice improvement after just a few weeks and almost all cases are complete within 16 weeks.

Six Months Smiles is a revolutionary technique for correcting crooked teeth. For anyone concerned by the prospect of wearing braces and retainers for a lengthy period of time, Six Months Smiles might be just the treatment you have been waiting for.  Rather than wearing braces for as long as three years, Six Months Smiles can correct your teeth in just six months.

Incredibly versatile, Six Months Smiles can remedy the overcrowding of teeth and issues with overbite or spacing.  What’s more, the treatment is actually cheaper than traditional braces, costing only about half as much despite the increased speed of the treatment.  And treatment with Six Months Smiles is very fast indeed, about one quarter that of traditional braces.

Six Months Smiles is especially advantageous for youngsters who are put off having their teeth issues dealt with because of the prospect of having to wear an unsightly metal brace for several years, during which there is enough social awkwardness as it is.  Six Months Smiles is far more discreet, using nickel titanium wires that are matched to the colour of your teeth.

Awesome Orthodontic Solutions

Monday, November 30th, 2015

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that fixes a variety of dental problems, including overcrowding, crookedness, overbites and underbites, misalignment and irregular jaw alignment. There are many advanced and effective solutions available from your Liverpool dentist.

Aligner evolution

The treatment options for adults have expanded enormously over the years, taking into account important factors such as discretion, which is vital both for maintaining confidence and having the least impact on everyday interactions, and time taken out of a busy lifestyle.

To this end there are multiple alternatives to regular metal wire braces, and these are discussed on their own pages in this section. Invisalign boasts perhaps the fullest discretion with its near ‘invisible’ aligners that blend into the teeth, while products such as Six Month Smiles offer an unprecedented shortness of treatment.

Benefits of orthodontic treatment

There are a number of long term health benefits of having treatment to correct orthodontic problems. Especially important are the reduced risk of tooth or gum decay, which can prevent further expensive treatment or tooth loss in future, and the fact that aligned and healthy teeth are easier cleaned and flossed than teeth left crooked or irregular.

Bad bites can affect your nutrition and cause premature wearing of the back teeth, while a misaligned jaw may interfere with your speech. Misalignment and malocclusion also affect the look and lower the self-esteem of many adults, who feel renewed and more confident after treatment.

Get Straighter Teeth with the Inman Aligner

Thursday, October 8th, 2015

If you have to cope with the problem of teeth that aren’t straight enough but don’t like the idea of having to endure the endless months of treatment that come with a traditional brace, then maybe you should try the Inman Aligner.

The Inman Aligner is a quick, effective and most importantly convenient method of straightening the front teeth and has now become a major treatment for orthodontic relapses that require attention in adults.

The Inman Aligner is a custom made appliance that uses the latest technologies to move the teeth by generating forces to reposition them. Consisting of two key parts, the aligner is made of a coiled spring that is positioned behind the front teeth, and a fine metal bar that runs along the front of the teeth. These work together create the force that pushes the teeth back into their correct places.

Three stages of treatment

The treatment consists of three stages. The first will see your dentist examine your mouth to see if the treatment is right for you before discussing the process and answering any questions you have. During the second stage your dentist will analyse you smile, teeth, gums and bite in greater detail. During the final stage impressions of your teeth will be made and sent away so your braces can be made before being fitted when they are complete.

The Inman Aligner also has a number of advantages that other braces don’t have. Aside from working quickly and providing results within 6 – 16 weeks, the aligner can also be removed when eating, drinking or cleaning your teeth. The Inman Aligner is also worn for a set amount of time so you can reap the benefits, making it better in terms of ease compared to others. If you would like more information about the Inman Aligner please contact Liverpool Dental Spa.

 

 

Which is the Best Tooth Straightening Method for Me?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2015

If you search online for information about braces, the likelihood is you’ll be greeted with hundreds of links to all kinds of different pages talking about the countless orthodontic options available today. The good news is there’s a huge range of choices available to patients, but the bad news is that this can make choosing the right method a little tricky. Fortunately, that’s where we come in. Our experienced dentists will be able to narrow down your options and help you to make the perfect choice.

Which treatments are available?

We are proud to offer an extensive collection of orthodontic treatments and our range caters for patients with all kinds of orthodontic issues, from minor crowding and slightly crooked front teeth, to complex issues related to the bite. We offer removable, fixed, invisible and fast-acting treatments in addition to lingual braces that sit behind the teeth.

Our treatment list goes as follows:

  • Invisalign
  • Inman Aligner
  • Perfect Clear
  • Six Month Smiles
  • Damon Braces
  • Clearstep
  • CFast
  • MTM No Trace lingual braces

Which method is best for me?

It’s impossible to say which treatment method would suit you best without assessing your dental needs and discussing your treatment goals with you. This is why consultations are so important. When you come in for a chat, we will have a good look at your mouth, analyse your bite and assess the nature and severity of your orthodontic problems. Once we have this information, we can talk to you about what kinds of features you would prefer (for example, some people prefer a removable brace if this is viable) and this will enable us to draw up a shortlist. We can then talk you through the options available to you and consider each one in detail to make sure you have all the information you need to make a decision.
