Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover and bond to the front surface of teeth. This is a fantastic solution for patients wishing to enhance their appearance through changing the colour, shape, size or length of individual or multiple teeth to achieve a whiter, straighter and more symmetrical smile. The tooth-coloured porcelain veneers resist stains, and their polychromatic characteristics mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.
It is now easier and more affordable than ever before to achieve a smile that you are proud to show off. While patients with veneers still require 6-monthly check-ups, teeth that are straight and white are much easier to maintain between visits. So, if you have discoloured, stained, worn or irregularly shaped teeth, or you have grown up with unsightly gaps, talk to Longford SmileCo Dental to talk about our porcelain veneers!
Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are permanently bonded to a tooth to enhance one’s appearance, or restore function & durability to a damaged tooth. Our dental crowns can encase part-of or an entire tooth and can last anywhere between 5 and 15 years depending on the standard of oral health maintenance. Crowns are typically used to:
- Protect a weak or cracked tooth
- Restore a broken or severely worn tooth
- Cover and support teeth with large fillings
- Hold dental bridges in place
- Cover severely discoloured teeth
- Seal dental implants
Bridges
Dental bridges work to literally ‘bridge the gap’ between existing teeth, to create a fuller, more symmetrical smile. Crowns are placed on the teeth either side of the gap, and a false tooth is connected to them to fill the empty space! Bridges can be a great alternative for patients who are not suited to dental implants. They work to:
- Restore your smile
- Improve your ability to chew & speak
- Correct the shape of your face
- Redistribute the forces in your bite
- Prevent existing teeth from moving out of position
Fillings
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay back to their original shape and function. Our dentists at Longford SmileCo Dental consider aesthetic, durability and affordability when it comes to recommending a filling material that is suitable for you. We offer superior porcelain and resin fillings that are designed to improve your oral health without compromising the look of your smile!
Composite resin fillings offer a natural looking solution for smaller-sized cavities, and are generally a less expensive alternative to porcelain fillings. However, this can mean their degree of durability is reduced. Porcelain fillings are solid, prefabricated fillings that can be bonded into larger-sized cavities. While they are more expensive than composite resin solutions, they are significantly more durable to ensure they last longer.
Teeth Whitening
Longford SmileCo Dental offers 2 types of teeth whitening procedures; in-chair and at-home. Our in-chair procedure is non-invasive and takes only a couple of hours to complete. The high concentration of hydrogen peroxide means you will be able to notice results immediately! The at-home treatment takes between 1 & 2 weeks to take effect due to the lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide. This can be a better solution for patients who suffer from tooth sensitivity.
Teeth whitening treatments work to remove stains from the surface of teeth and lighten the colour of the natural tooth enamel to help patients achieve a whiter, brighter smile! Teeth can appear discoloured as a result of lifestyle factors; i.e. smoking, diet, and poor oral hygiene, or internal influences, such as enamel or dentine defects, or consuming high doses of fluoride. Longford SmileCo Dental will assess your oral health prior to commencing a teeth whitening treatment, to ensure it is in your best interests for us to proceed.
