    Restorative Dentist in Poole

    Posted on by Marketing

    While we carry out a huge variety of dental and aesthetic treatments here, we are also a restorative dentist in Poole and can help with the function, health and appearance of your teeth and smile. Read on below to learn more about some of our most popular restorative dental treatments. All of these are carried out here in our custom-built clinic and you can click / tap here to get booked in with our specialist team!

    Crowns
    A dental crown is a covering (often made from porcelain) to cover over and protect a damaged or affected tooth from any further damage or harm. A very common treatment, they are a great option to keep the majority of your natural tooth in place – just with a discreet, natural-looking camouflage to keep it looking and working like normal.

    Dental Bridges
    If you are missing a tooth and especially if the gap is visible when you smile, a bridge may be the best option for you. This is where an artificial tooth (custom created to fit in with your smile) is used to literally bridge the gap and make it appear as if you have all of your natural teeth. There are different ways that these can be implemented depending on your case.

    Dentures
    We are delighted to work in exclusive collaboration with Chris Wibberley who is one of the top denturists in all of the UK. He custom makes dentures for our patients which not only look amazingly natural and completely lifelike; but they are also made to perfectly and comfortably fit in your mouth at all times. The image above is an example of his outstanding work.

    Veneers
    Known mainly as an aesthetic / cosmetic treatment, veneers are also an option if you need to restore parts or the entirety of your smile. Crafted custom per patient from the finest dental porcelain, veneers are priced per tooth and offer you a way to completely transform your smile to get your ideal smile aesthetic – while also restoring your confidence in smiling too!

    and more!
    While the above points are among our most popular restorative treatments, we offer many more and our specialist team can come up with a bespoke treatment plan to help you. When it comes to your gums for example, you can book in for the likes of a gingivectomy, mucogingival surgery and more.

    5 Signs of Healthy Teeth

    Posted on by Marketing

    While the appearance of your teeth and smile is part of your overall aesthetic, it can also show how healthy your teeth are too. Here we talk you through 5 signs of healthy teeth but know that you should book regular check-ups with your dentist (click / tap here to book) as they are your best option to monitor and enhance the health of your teeth.

    Tooth Colour
    We all want a bright white smile and our premium teeth whitening is perfect to achieve this. But before you start your teeth whitening journey, you come to see us beforehand so we can check the health of your teeth and mouth. This is because discoloured / yellowing teeth can be an oral health sign to look out for – such as a buildup of plaque that may require a dental hygienist appointment before your teeth whitening can begin.

    Bad Breath
    Nobody likes bad breath and apart from it being annoying and off-putting, it can also be a sign of your teeth and mouth health. For example, persistent bad breath could be caused by a cavity that you have – whether you know you have a cavity or do not realise it yet (i.e. it may be small and not causing you pain or at the very back of your mouth etc.). Bad breath can be an indicator of your oral health – so please raise this with your dentist if you suffer from it.

    No Cavities
    Following the last point, having no cavities (also known as caries or tooth decay) is another sign of healthy teeth. Cavities are essentially small holes in your teeth that can get bigger over time if left untreated and cause serious problems with your teeth and mouth. Even the onset of a cavity is not ideal as it is permanent damage to your tooth enamel and so getting a filling as soon as possible is always best – before the roots of your teeth become affected.

    Strong Teeth
    Do your teeth feel sore or even move a little when eating certain foods like biting into an apple for example? The strength of your teeth is also an indicator of their health. Our teeth are obviously there to help us chew and eat food, so if you are experiencing any discomfort when using your teeth – they may be weaker due to many different lifestyle and / or genetic factors. Discuss this at your check-up and our team can help to remove pain and discomfort.

    Strong Gums
    As our teeth are literally rooted into our gums, gum health is hugely important too and should never be neglected. Signs to look out for include any pain or discomfort, bleeding and if the colour of your gums (or part of your gums) changes and gets lighter, darker or patchy. Just like teeth, gums can also experience health problems such as gingivitis and our specialist team can help here with the treatments we can offer here at Dental on the Banks.

    While the above information is useful to be aware of, nothing beats your dentist checking your teeth and mouth to ensure they are healthy and to manage them if needs be. You can click / tap here to book in for a check-up here at Dental on the Banks!

    What are clear braces?

    Posted on by Marketing

    Clear braces can refer to two things. So when you wonder what are clear braces, this can either mean traditional ‘train track’ braces that are clear instead of metal – or it can refer to the Invisalign clear aligners system.

    Clear ‘Train Tracks’
    Traditional braces are made from metal and as such have a silver steel colour that can be seen at the brackets which attach to the teeth and the metal wire that goes through them. However a clear version of this is also available (also known as clear ceramic) where the brackets are actually white to blend in with your teeth, making them look ‘clear’. Along with this, the wire can also be transparent or different coloured to be less noticeable. As these clear braces are technically fixed braces, they will always be noticeable to a degree – but they are more discreet and inconspicuous compared to traditional silver metal braces.

    Invisalign
    The modern and truly clear and invisible option, Invisalign are a system of clear trays that cover your teeth and are barely noticeable. Each tray is fully removable – so you can remove them to eat and drink and to brush and floss your teeth as normal. Like the name suggests, Invisalign truly are invisible as they are made from a transparent plastic-like material (their patented SmartTrack material) that allows you to straighten your smile in secret. So when people ask us what are clear braces, we ensure they know all about this modern and innovative Invisalign system so they can straighten their smile without anyone noticing!

    What are clear braces?

    Orthodontics (teeth straightening) has come a long way over the years, resulting in us being able to offer clear braces and Invisalign here at Dental on the Banks. In fact our Invisalign specialists Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon are among the top 300 Invisalign specialists in the world!
