Cosmetic dentistry in Dublin is becoming more popular than ever before as people begin to realise it's never been more affordable! From teeth whitening, veneers and braces - there's a treatment at Seapoint Clinic suited to your specific needs. So, how do you know which treatment you should opt for?

Instant Veneers

Instant Veneers are a quick and simple treatment in which you can leave the clinic in as little as one hour with a brand new smile! The best part of treatment? There's absolutely no damage whatsoever to your own natural teeth! Unlike porcelain veneers, there's no prep work required. Instead, Instant Veneers are layered over your natural teeth while you sit in the dentists chair. Many people assume they need an entire set of veneers, but more often than not you simply need 2-4!

Porcelain Veneers

Here at Seapoint Clinic, we use Da Vinci Veneers which are made using a very fine layer of tooth-coloured porcelain which are then bonded over your natural teeth - helping to both improve and protect your smile. As we only use porcelain veneers that are handcrafted by technicians in Da Vinci Studios, California, Seapoint Clinic remains the premier choice in Ireland when it comes to getting a natural, beautiful smile.

Teeth Whitening

Seapoint's Deep Teeth Whitening is often performed for people who have sensitive teeth and cannot wear trays for home whitening. Some, but not all patients will experience sensitivity after whitening. Usually this will only occur towards the end of your whitening session when the benefits have been achieved. Some people may experience sensitivity in the hours after whitening, and using Sensodyne® toothpaste on your teeth can help alleviate this. Most people do not need any painkillers for this but if you are anxious at all about the procedure, you may consider taking some gentle painkillers before your appointment.

Invisalign

Invisalign is among of our most popular forms of treatment here at Seapoint Clinic. Unlike conventional braces, Invisalign is completely clear and removable. It involves wearing a set of clear aligners, which are custom molded to fit comfortably in your mouth. As they are removable, it means you can still enjoy all the foods you love and even brush as normal throughout treatment! It's the ideal form of treatment for people who may be put off at having metal braces and would prefer to keep treatment discreet.

Six Month Braces

Six Month Braces usually involve treating the front teeth only and the goal is to give the patient a great natural looking smile. We do not try to change the bite to any significant degree and the results we aim for are cosmetic only. If your goal is to change your bite or move a lot of the back teeth you may still need to get conventional braces which may take longer.

With Six Month Braces we are able to offer both see through braces and metal finish braces. The white braces are tooth coloured and while they do cost slightly more, they are very discreet. These braces are much more inconspicuous than the metal finish braces and often go unnoticed on the patient.
