    Composite Veneers in Poole

    Posted on by Marketing

    We offer composite veneers in Poole here at Dental on the Banks, our custom-built dental clinic. Composite veneers is otherwise known as composite bonding, a treatment which consists of the white composite material being applied to your teeth in layers to build upon them. There are three main types of this treatment:

    Composite Bonding (also known as Composite Veneers or Cosmetic Bonding) refers to more fuller coverage of the tooth, like how a classic porcelain veneer (which we also offer here at Dental on the Banks) works to cover the front of the tooth to improve aesthetics and appearance.

    Composite Edge Bonding is where only the edges of the teeth are treated with the composite material. This is great to make the edges of your teeth less jagged while bringing a uniformity to your teeth overall which is very noticeable when talking and smiling.

    Note that for composite bonding / veneers and composite edge bonding, this is priced per tooth so you can choose to get just a single tooth or multiple teeth treated if you wish.

    Injection Moulded Composite Bonding is a more advanced technique that not every dental clinic can offer. Available here with us at Dental on the Banks, it involves the use of a mould that it custom made for the patient and composite is injected into it to bring perfect personalised results for the patient’s teeth and smile. Note that a consultation is required beforehand to quote for this treatment as it will depend on the amount of composite material that is needed.

    The great thing about using composite to transform your smile is that there is no drilling or damage to the natural teeth, no injections required and most cases are complete in one single appointment. So in essence you can come to our clinic and leave with a brand new smile totally transformed by our aesthetic dentists!

    Difference Between Invisalign and Fixed Braces

    Posted on by Marketing

    Wondering if there is a difference between Invisalign and fixed braces? There are many differences between the two and that is why we are such huge fans of Invisalign in Bournemouth here at Dental on the Banks. Read on below to learn about the main differences between Invisalign and fixed braces – also known as ‘fixed braces’.

    Placement
    As you may know, the Invisalign trays are fully removable which means you can take them out whenever you want. Fixed braces are the complete opposite as like the name suggests, they are affixed to your teeth and can only be removed once your teeth straightening treatment is fully completed.

    Hygiene
    You can still brush and floss your teeth as normal with Invisalign because you take them out so they are not in the way when doing these things. Fixed braces present more of a challenge in that you have to work around the wires and brackets and therefore often need additional tools such as interdental floss, specialised tooth floss and more.

    Eating and Drinking
    There are no limits or restrictions to keep in mind when it comes to having Invisalign and eating and drinking. This is again because you take your Invisalign out of your mouth to eat and drink. More caution needs to be exercised with fixed braces as it can be often advised to avoid certain foods that may break or snap wires or even get intertwined in them.

    Lifestyle
    One of the things we love most about Invisalign is that the trays are clear and discreet. Like their name suggests (a combination of the words ‘invisible’ and ‘align’), they are practically invisible. On the other hand, fixed braces showcase their metal wires and brackets and even the clear version (ceramic brackets) are not fully invisible and are somewhat blocky.

    Time
    While treatment times will always depend on a case by case basis, some Invisalign cases can be complete in as little as three months. Treatment times can be relatively short with fixed braces too as some cases here can be complete in between six to twelve months. But overall Invisalign always seems to be a more time efficient solution to teeth straightening.
