Cosmetic
BONDING
Another procedure offered by Dental Clinic Tramore under cosmetic dental treatment is bonding. It enhances the appearance and condition of the teeth that is brought about by chips and discolorations. People in general think that chips and cracks on teeth are harmless and are common conditions as we age. But the truth of the matter is they are possible sources of mouth injuries. Composite bonding involves the use of resins to fix the chips and bond the gaps. Once the teeth are cleaned and bonded through this procedure, you can now enjoy eating your favourite foods without worrying that food particles might get stuck in between.
Have you ever heard of contouring or reshaping? This dental treatment plan is common among those who cannot stand the pain and inconvenience of wearing braces for the correction of their misaligned teeth. No more adjustment of the wires monthly. The enamel of the teeth would simply be scratched until the desirable shape of the teeth is achieved. As soon as the procedure is over, you can flaunt your new set of polished teeth immediately.
What about your pearly whites at the far end of your mouth? Yes, they have a chance to be cleaned and saved from total damage through a non-invasive procedure called air abrasion treatment. In here, no drilling and injections have to be made. A stream of air and an amount of powdery substance are enough to take the decay off the teeth and seal them together afterwards.
CEREC ONE SESSION TREATMENT
Another modern procedure that can be done by us in one treatment is CEREC. By using a 3D Image Scanner your existing teeth can be scanned and new ones designed. These teeth are then manufactured using a milling machine and are fitted to patients using dental cement. Using the aid of a medical grade computer, this procedure can be done in a very short period of time with amazing results.
These images give you an indication of the process involved and the high standard and precision of the teeth manufactured by us here at Dental Clinic Tramore.
TEETH WHITENING
As you age, your teeth will become stained due to the effects of certain food and drinks. Smoking is also a major factor in making your teeth look dark and yellow. Our advanced teeth whitening treatment uses a whitening chemical with a custom made whitening tray which fits around your teeth.
PORCELAIN VENEERS
A porcelain Veneer gives the look of your real teeth, so no one can tell the difference. They can help give you a beautiful smile without having to do a lot of work on your teeth. Porcelain Veneers when fitted add colour to your existing teeth. This is an ideal option if you have chipped or cracked teeth that need repairing. The procedure is relatively pain free as not much tooth enamel is removed before porcelain veneers are fitted to your existing teeth.
WHITE FILLINGS
Fillings are a dental procedure to which almost everyone can relate. Most of us have had one or two (and probably more) in our lifetime, and we all know how metal (or amalgam) fillings can be an obvious eyesore in our mouths.
On the other hand, white fillings are usually containing a mixture of plastic and glass that can be used to restore teeth with cavities or decay. Generally preferred by patients because of their cosmetic appearance, white fillings blend to the colour of the surrounding teeth and help create a more natural smile.
Benefits
The obvious advantage of white fillings is aesthetic. Because they are white, they are less visible than metal fillings and can even be matched to the colour of an individual’s natural teeth. The materials used for white or composite fillings are also much cheaper than gold; but more importantly, white treatments bond to the tooth and support remaining tooth structure so to further prevent tooth breakage and decay.
Patients even find that tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures is decreased with white fillings. Finally, they can usually be done in just one appointment. Our dentists provide very advanced white filling services.
GUM CONTOURING
This is done normally for cosmetic reasons. This procedure reshapes how the gum looks around your teeth. Gum Contouring is used to provide a more even look, it also helps if your gums have been reseeding or the tissue has become damaged. Once reshaped this will help your gums to recover and become healthier as a result of the treatment. We will be happy to talk you through the entire process and the costs of such procedures at a time of your convenience.
