Crowning the Success of Our Restorative Dental Treatments

Friday, July 24th, 2015

Even the healthiest teeth can fall foul to injuries and accidents, but at Liverpool Dental Spa we have a host of restorative options to patch up chips and worn edges, repair fractures and ensure you can smile with confidence again. Our dentists are highly skilled in restorative dentistry and we use only the finest quality materials and the latest techniques to produce amazing results with minimal pain.

Our restorative treatments

We offer a range of restorative treatments to repair damaged and decayed teeth, patch up injuries and replace lost teeth. Our treatment options include:

  • CEREC same-day restorative treatment: we are fortunate to have CEREC technology on-site. This gives us the ability to offer same-day bespoke restorative treatment. With CEREC we can design, manufacture and place new veneers, crowns, inlays and onlays all in one day without having to send impressions away or fit temporary measures. CEREC vastly reduces treatment time and it also makes treatment more convenient for patients with hectic schedules. The process is also cleaner and more accurate than traditional methods.
  • Porcelain crowns: as well as same-day CEREC crowns, we also offer hand-crafted porcelain crowns, which sit on top of the teeth to offer protection and make the tooth more robust. Crowns are recommended when a tooth is broken or decayed and they can also be attached to dental implants as part of a tooth replacement. Porcelain crowns match the shade of healthy natural teeth and last for up to five years.
  • White fillings: fillings are placed when a cavity forms in the surface of the tooth. Cavities are holes often caused by acid erosion of the enamel. Fillings help to stem the spread of infection and white fillings restore the teeth without affecting the way it looks.
  • Dental bridges: bridges are a popular tooth replacement treatment for single gaps. They consist of a false tooth fused to a new crown on either side. Bridges can be made from metals or ceramics and they last up to 15 years. Bridge treatment usually involves two sessions.
  • Dentures: dentures are an effective means of replacing multiple missing teeth. They are sets of false teeth that look like natural teeth and enable you to speak and eat with ease and confidence. Dentures are custom-made and are secured by the natural suction of the gums.
  • Dental implants: implants offer a versatile solution to patients with tooth loss, as they can be used to replace single and multiple missing teeth. Implants are small devices made from titanium and are placed inside small holes in the jaw bone and then attached to a crown, bridge or denture once settled. Implants offer the same standard of stability and functionality as natural tooth roots and are an excellent long-term option.

What is Restorative Dentistry

Tuesday, June 16th, 2015

We are proud to offer a range of restorative dental treatments to carry out running repairs to the teeth, offer protection and enable you to enjoy improved oral function. Restorative dentistry is concerned with the restoration of weak, damaged and decayed teeth and the diagnosis and management of dental diseases and infections affecting the teeth and the bony structures that support them.

Restorative dental treatment at Liverpool Dental Spa

We have an extensive collection of restorative treatments on offer that bring about incredible results for patients with chipped, broken and missing teeth. Whether you’ve been injured in an accident, your tooth has been weakened by gum disease or you have lost a tooth, we’re confident  we can find the most effective solutions.

Our restorative treatment options include:

  • Crowns: porcelain crowns, also known as caps, are used to protect damaged teeth. They sit on top of the existing tooth structure to improve the functionality of the tooth. Porcelain crowns are durable (lasting up to 5 years) and they also create stunning, subtle aesthetics. We are able to offer traditional hand-crafted crowns or CEREC 1-day treatment, which eliminates the need for multiple appointments and temporary restorations.
  • Bridges: dental bridges are a popular solution for missing teeth. They are designed to bridge the gap between two teeth when a tooth is lost and consist of a false tooth with a crown on either side. Bridges are often made from ceramics, which provide a natural finish and they are an affordable and durable option, lasting around 10-15 years.
  • Dentures: dentures are a reliable and effective solution for missing teeth and we offer modern complete and partial dentures, which improve and restore oral function and create healthy looking, attractive smiles. Every denture is made from high quality materials and are custom-made for a perfect fit.
  • Dental implants: implants are an increasingly popular choice for patients who have lost teeth. They are suitable for all ages and can be used to replace any number of missing teeth, from a single tooth to a full arch. Implants are made from titanium and sit in the jaw bone to replace the missing root. Once they have integrated into the bone, the head of the implant is joined to a crown, bridge or denture and the restoration process is complete.
  • White fillings: white fillings are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to metal fillings and they enable us to restore decayed teeth with minimal impact on the look of the tooth. White fillings are made from dental composite and treatment can usually be completed within an hour.

The Difference Between Amalgam and White Fillings

Wednesday, May 20th, 2015

Today, white fillings are very common, but in years gone by, the main treatment options for cavities was mercury amalgam fillings. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we offer a replacement filling service for metal fillings in addition to offering new white fillings. If you’d like to replace an old mercury filling or you have a cavity in need of filling, call today and book your appointment.

What is the difference between white and amalgam fillings?

Mercury amalgam used to be the filling material of choice before advances in technology made it possible to create aesthetically-pleasing, safe modern materials. Amalgam fillings are made of a mixture of metals, including mercury, and they are used to fill cavities and treat decay. Today, mercury amalgam fillings are much less popular than they used to be and many people choose to have white fillings. Although mercury amalgam filling are still approved for use in the UK, some people have concerns about the safety of using mercury.

White fillings are made from dental composite and resins and they offer a discreet, safe and environmentally friendly alternative to metal fillings. Dental composite is a versatile dental material that is soft at room temperature and hardens when exposed to light. It comes in a range of shades to match the natural colour of the tooth. With white fillings, you can’t tell the difference between the tooth and the filling and this means that you can enjoy restorative benefits without any negative impact on the aesthetic of your smile. Your Liverpool Dental Spa dentist will select the closest shade match to your tooth and within an hour, treatment will be complete.

Why would I need a filling?

Fillings are used to treat cavities. These are holes that form in the tooth surface. When the enamel has been penetrated, there is a risk of infection spreading through the tooth and a filling helps to prevent this from happening. Your tooth will also feel stronger once it has been filled. We recommend white fillings because they look natural and they are made from safe, durable materials. If you have old filings, we will be happy to replace them with new fillings. Simply call us or visit the website to make an online enquiry.

Who Said Fillings Need to be Ugly?

Thursday, March 12th, 2015

If you thought a filling would spell the end of your beautiful smile, think again! With our white fillings, we can restore your tooth, while also preserving its natural beauty.

What is a white filling?

White fillings are an increasingly popular alternative to fillings made from mercury amalgam. They are used to fill  holes that develop in the surface of the tooth as a result of decay, known as cavities. White fillings are made from resins and dental composite and they are shade matched to the natural tooth colour to ensure that they are indistinguishable from the rest of the tooth.

Fillings are an effective means of strengthening a decayed tooth and the procedure also helps to lower the risk of decay reaching other areas.

The filling procedure

The filling procedure is relatively simple and the tooth is numbed before treatment begins, so you don’t need to worry about feeling any pain. Before the cavity is filled, the decayed tissue is removed and the cavity is cleaned thoroughly. Once the cavity is clear, bonding agent is placed inside the hole and the composite is then poured inside. At this stage, the composite is soft and putty-like and it can be moulded to fit the shape of the cavity. Once the filling is in place, the composite is set hard using a curing light. This simply involves shining a light onto the tooth. Setting the composite takes just a few seconds and there’s no pain involved. All you have to do is pop on some goggles and relax. Once the filling has set, your dentist will then trim the edges to make sure of a perfect fit.

After you have a filling, your mouth will feel numb for a short period of time, but this will soon wear off. You can use your tooth as normal straightaway, but it may be best to avoid hot drinks until the numbness has subsided to prevent scalding your mouth.

If you would like to find out more about our natural looking, tooth-coloured fillings, call today and arrange an appointment.

Welcome to the World of White Fillings!

Friday, February 20th, 2015

We are excited to introduce our patients in Liverpool and beyond to wonderful white fillings. These natural looking fillings will strengthen and protect your teeth without affecting the look of your smile at all.

About white fillings

White fillings are designed to protect and strengthen teeth when there is a cavity in the tooth surface. Fillings seal the hole and help to reduce the risk of infection spreading to others parts of the tooth. White fillings are made from dental composite and resins. They are matched to the shade of your teeth to ensure that they cannot be distinguished from the natural tooth.

In the past, metal amalgams were used to fill teeth. However, nowadays white fillings are much more popular, as they are more aesthetically pleasing and safer. Many people have concerns about the potential toxicity of mercury and we are proud to promote amalgam-free dentistry.

We are able to fit new fillings and also replace old metal fillings with white fillings.

Does having a filling hurt?

The procedure to place a white filling is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you don’t need to worry about experiencing pain. After treatment, your tooth will feel numb for a short while, but you shouldn’t feel any discomfort.

Does a filling last forever?

Fillings should last for a couple of years, but they don’t last forever. Once your filling starts to wear, we will discuss replacing it with you and arrange an appointment at a time that is convenient to you.

If you’d like to book in for a filling or you would like to find out more about white filings at Liverpool Dental Spa, simply call us, fill in an online form or pop in and visit us if you’re in Liverpool.

Snow-White Fillings in Time for Christmas in the Heart of Liverpool

Tuesday, December 16th, 2014

Christmas is a time for beaming from ear to ear and soaking up the festive spirit. If you’re dreaming of a snow-white smile this Christmas, now is the perfect time to book in for natural looking, discreet fillings. Whether you need a new filling or you’d like to replace an old metal filling, we can help.

About white fillings

White fillings are commonly used to treat decay. They fill cavities, which are small holes in the tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of the tooth. White fillings are made from dental composite and they are designed to match the shade of the tooth very closely. This enables you to have the restorative treatment you need without any negative impact on the look of your smile.

Dental composite is a putty-like material, and can also be used to repair chips and improve the aesthetic of misshapen teeth. When in its soft form, it can be shaped to fit the cavity. After this stage of treatment is complete, your dentist will set the filling using a curing light. Once the composite is firm, the tooth will be stronger and the filling should last for several years. We will check your filling every time you have a routine check-up.

Why are white fillings better than mercury amalgam fillings?

White fillings are very discreet and it’s very hard to detect them. In contrast, metal fillings are much more noticeable and they can detract from the beauty of the smile. Some people also have concerns about health and safety issues connected to mercury fillings and although they are approved for use in the UK, white fillings are considered a safer option. In the past, white fillings were not strong enough for some teeth, but advances in material design now mean that most teeth can be filled using dental composite.
