Get Your Smile Summer Ready

With the arrival of warmer weather, it’s time to embrace the joys of summer, and what better way to do so than with a radiant smile? Your smile is a powerful asset, expressing joy, confidence, and warmth. If you’ve been dreaming of achieving your ideal smile, teeth whitening offers a fantastic solution to help you get there. At Dental Care Ireland, we understand the importance of a confident smile, and we’re here to guide you on your journey to a summer-ready grin.

Teeth Whitening: Brighten Up Your Smile

Over time, various factors such as diet, lifestyle habits, and ageing can cause our teeth to become stained or discoloured. But don’t worry! Our professional teeth whitening treatments are designed to effectively remove stubborn stains and brighten your smile by several shades. This quick and non-invasive procedure can significantly enhance your appearance, boosting your confidence just in time for the summer festivities.

Our Whitening Process:

Consultation: First, the dentist will examine your teeth to ensure you are suitable for teeth whitening. This will include a check-up and may include some x-rays of your teeth. Some reasons that you may not be suitable could be gum disease, tooth decay or hypersensitivity. It is also important to note that teeth whitening only works on actual tooth structure – crowns, veneers or tooth-coloured fillings will not whiten.

Impressions: Once your dentist confirms suitability, they will work with you to identify the shade you wish to achieve. Your dentist will be able to advise you on what outcome you are likely to achieve before you begin as this can vary from person to person. Impressions will then be taken of your teeth so that customised whitening trays can be made for you.

Treatment at Home: Teeth whitening trays and gel are used at home for approximately 7 to 14 days. This depends on the shade you wish to achieve and the strength of whitening gels used. You may experience some sensitivity during this process, but this is very common and will disappear a few days after you finish your whitening treatment. If you usually have sensitive teeth, it may be helpful to use sensitive toothpaste before and during the whitening process.

Post-Treatment Care: After the initial application, you can purchase extra whitening gels which you can use to “top-up” your teeth to keep them looking nice and white. It is also important to note that tea, coffee, red wine and smoking cause staining of the teeth, and therefore regular hygienist appointments are recommended to keep your smile clean and white following treatment.

Introducing KöR Teeth Whitening

Our newest addition, KöR Teeth Whitening, is the pinnacle of deep bleaching systems, ensuring unparalleled results. Recognised as the most reliable and effective method to whiten teeth, KöR Whitening provides dramatic, long-lasting results. Dr. Maurice Fitzgerald at Northumberland Dental Care is proud to offer this high-end treatment, setting us apart as leaders in cosmetic dentistry.

Why Choose Professional Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is superior to over-the-counter products for several reasons:

Safety: Our treatments are supervised by dental professionals, ensuring that the process is safe and effective.
Customisation: We tailor the treatment to your specific needs, achieving the best possible results.
Effectiveness: Professional-grade products are more potent than store-bought kits, providing more noticeable and longer-lasting results.

At Dental Care Ireland, we’re committed to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams. Whether you choose our customised take-home kits or the advanced KöR system, our team is here to ensure you get the best possible outcome. Find your local practice today and book a Cosmetic Consultation with us, and let’s make this summer your brightest one yet. Your smile deserves nothing but the best.

Mouthguards: Protect Your Smile

When it comes to protecting our bodies during physical activity, we often focus on wearing helmets, knee pads, and other protective gear. However, one area that is frequently overlooked is the mouth. Whether you’re an athlete or someone who wants to safeguard against dental injuries, investing in a mouthguard/gum shield can be one of the smartest decisions you can make for your oral health.

Why do Mouthguards matter?

Mouthguards are crucial for safeguarding your teeth, gums, and jaw during various sports and activities. Mouthguards act as a cushion, absorbing the impact of blows or falls that could otherwise result in broken teeth, cut lips, or injuries to the tongue and cheeks. For athletes engaged in contact sports like football, rugby, or boxing, wearing a mouthguard can significantly reduce the risk of dental trauma, and in many cases, it is a mandatory requirement.

Who are they designed for?

Mouthguards aren’t just for kids on the soccer field or adults in the boxing ring – they’re essential for everyone, regardless of age. Whether you’re participating in sports or grappling with nighttime teeth grinding, mouthguards play a vital role in protecting your oral health and preserving your smile.

How many types of Gum Shields are there?

There are three types of gum shields available in Ireland, but not all of them meet sports regulation requirements:

Stock Gum Shield: Stock gum shields are pre-formed and ready to wear. They are inexpensive but can feel cumbersome and occasionally affect breathing or talking.
Boil and Bite Gum Shield: Boil and bite gum shields are moulded to your teeth and jaw structure in a basic way. Typically, you place the gum shield into warm water and bite as per the instructions to mould it. While they satisfy most sports clubs’ mandatory ruling, the CE mark must be on the packaging to indicate that it has met certain acceptable standards.
Custom Gum Shield: Custom gum shields are professionally fitted to your mouth by a dentist and offer the highest level of comfort and protection while meeting sports regulation requirements.

What makes dentist Mouthguards different from retail Mouthguards?

Dentist-fitted mouthguards offer several advantages over retail options, thanks to their custom design and professional craftsmanship:

Customisation: Dentist-fitted mouthguards are tailor-made to fit the unique contours of your mouth. Dentists take impressions of your teeth and gums, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit that offers maximum protection and stability.
Enhanced Protection: Custom-fitted mouthguards provide superior protection against impact and injury compared to off-the-shelf options. By conforming closely to the teeth and gums, they effectively absorb and distribute the force of impact, reducing the risk of dental trauma, jaw injuries, and concussions.
Durability and Longevity: Dentist-fitted mouthguards are crafted using high-quality materials and professional techniques, ensuring durability and longevity. Custom-fitted guards are designed to withstand regular use and maintain their shape and effectiveness for an extended period. This durability makes them a cost-effective investment in the long run.

How often should I change my Gum Shield?

Replacing your gum shield is recommended each year for a growing child, as their jaw and teeth arrangement will change. For adults, replacement is needed when the guard shows signs of wear. Bring your gum shield to your dental check-up so your dentist can assess whether or not it needs to be replaced.

If you would like to inquire about acquiring mouthguards in one of our dental practices around the country, please use our practice locator to find your local practice.

Let us help you to radiate confidence and charm with a smile that captures hearts and leaves a lasting impression.

Am I a suitable for teeth whitening?

Finding out if teeth whitening is right for you starts with a thorough check-up with your dentist. Generally, professional teeth whitening is recommended for patients with healthy teeth and gums, free from issues like gum disease, tooth decay, or hypersensitivity.

What does the teeth whitening treatment involve?

Your dentist will work with you to establish your desired shade of white. Customised whitening trays will be created based on impressions of your teeth. These trays, along with a special whitening gel, will be provided for at-home use.

How long does the treatment take?

Teeth whitening typically involves using the trays and gel at home for approximately one hour per day over seven to 14 days, depending on your desired shade outcome.

How white will my teeth go?

The achievable shade of white varies based on your teeth’s initial color. Your dentist can provide insight into the likely outcome before beginning the treatment.

Will I feel pain or sensitivity?

It’s common to experience some sensitivity during the whitening process, but this usually subsides after treatment. Using a sensitive toothpaste before and during whitening may help alleviate discomfort, especially if you have sensitive teeth.

Does the teeth whitening treatment whiten crowns, veneers, or fillings?

No, teeth whitening only affects natural teeth. Restorations like crowns, veneers, or tooth-coloured fillings won’t whiten. If you have such restorations on your front teeth, you may consider replacing them after whitening to match your new tooth shade.

Are teeth whitening results permanent?

Results vary from person to person and may be influenced by lifestyle factors like smoking and consumption of staining foods and drinks. Annual touch-ups or as-needed applications of whitening gel can help maintain your brighter smile.

How can I maintain my brighter smile?

Consistent oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, is key to preserving your whitened teeth. Additionally, avoiding smoking, maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and scheduling regular dental visits for cleanings and check-ups are essential for long-term oral health.

Book yourself in for a teeth whitening treatment at one of our many practices all over Ireland.

Invisalign Open Day in Cabinteely; You’re Invited!

Dental Care Ireland Cabinteely are hosting an Invisalign Open Day on Thursday 2nd of November and you’re invited!

Have you been considering Invisalign but the time has never been right? Well, with our Invisalign Open Day offers, now is your chance!

What’s on offer?

Dr Alex Lite is our Invisalign provider at Dental Care Ireland Cabinteely. On Thursday 2nd of November, he is offering 50% off Invisalign consultations, as well as 5% off Invisalign treatment! In addition, Dr Alex will be able to show you digital before and after results of your Invisalign treatment using his amazing iTero scanner! These offers are available for one day only, so make sure to book your appointment online now!

About Invisalign:

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that can effectively and discreetly straighten your teeth. It is comfortable and almost unnoticeable, making it an extremely popular method of teeth straightening.

Invisalign is designed to fit your lifestyle rather than disrupt it, whether you’re busy with work, school or travel. These virtually invisible aligners can correct a range of concerns, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, gap teeth, open bite and crowded teeth.

What is the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?

Invisalign uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth, whereas traditional braces use metal wires and brackets. Not only is Invisalign more comfortable, it is also more aesthetically pleasing for those who are image-conscious. They also require fewer dental visits compared to traditional braces.
Our Invisalign Open Day has limited availability, so book your appointment online today! Alternatively, you can call us directly on (01) 268 9566 to book your appointment or ask any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you!

Vaping and Oral Health: What Do I Need To Know?

E-cigarettes have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially among young adults and teenagers. The use of e-cigarettes, also known as vaping, is often seen as a safer alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. While this may be the case, there is mounting evidence to suggest that vaping still poses significant risks to oral health. Below, Dr Jennifer Collins, Clinical Director of Dental Care Ireland, discusses the harmful effects vaping has on our oral health.

Nicotine harms your oral health

E-cigarettes contain a liquid mixture of nicotine, flavourings, and other chemicals. When heated, the liquid turns into an aerosol, which is then inhaled. Nicotine is one of the most harmful chemicals found in e-cigarettes. It can cause a range of oral health problems, including gum disease and tooth loss. Nicotine also reduces blood flow to the gums, making it harder for them to heal from infections, injuries or dental procedures. This is why we advise you to avoid vaping after a dental procedure.

Nicotine can also cause yellow staining on your teeth. While this type of staining is usually associated with tobacco cigarettes, e-cigarettes can also do this to your teeth. If you wish to keep your smile pearly white, it is best to avoid vaping.

The flavourings used in e-cigarettes also pose a risk to oral health. Many of these flavourings contain chemicals that can irritate the mouth and throat. Some flavourings can also damage the enamel on the teeth, leading to tooth sensitivity and cavities.

Vaping can lead to dry mouth

Another issue with vaping is that it dries out the mouth. A dry mouth can lead to a host of oral health problems, including bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. When the mouth is dry, there is less saliva to wash away harmful bacteria, food particles, and other debris. This can lead to a build-up of plaque and tartar, which can cause cavities and gum disease.

Vaping is not a healthy habit

While we are only beginning to learn about the adverse effects of vaping for your oral health, it is becoming evident that vaping is not as safe as we may have initially assumed. However, e-cigarettes are certainly better for your oral health than tobacco cigarettes. This makes vaping a good segway for those trying to quit smoking, but it’s certainly not a good decision to start vaping from scratch! Unfortunately, we are seeing young people and teenagers beginning to vape even if they have never smoked before, which is not a trend we want to see.

Finally, if you do vape, make sure you are drinking plenty of water, keep up a good oral health routine, visit your dentist regularly, and do consider cutting back or quitting; your mouth will thank you for it!

Dublin 18 dentist is a family-focused dental practice providing Cabinteely and surrounding areas with the best in dental care

Dublin 18 dentist has built up an excellent reputation as a local, family-friendly dental practice with state-of-the-art equipment and a dedicated team of professionals.

As one patient’s mother put it: “I go to Aifric with my little baby. She’s so caring and always follows up. I found the service to be excellent from everyone there too. I’ve recommended it to all my friends.”

Furthermore, the team was delighted to welcome new dentist Dr Kate Clerkin to the practice in April of this year and believes she further enhances the professional service on offer.

The practice also fits mouth guards and offers teeth whitening treatments as well as specialist treatments such as dental implants, root canal treatment and orthodontics (metal braces, ceramic braces and Invisalign). Orthodontic treatments at the practice are offered by orthodontists Dr Aidan Redahan and Dr Joe Hennessy.

Special offer
