Cosmetic Dental Clinic
Affordable cosmetic dentistry at Seapoint Clinic means that it's never been easier to get the smile you've always longed for. From veneers, braces or teeth whitening - we have a wide range of treatments available to you, all under one roof. But how do you know what treatment best suits your specific needs? Following an initial consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists, they'll be able to provide you with a detail treatment plan with no hidden costs. They can also answer any queries you might have on the day.
Instant Veneers
Instant Veneers, sometimes referred to as composite veneers, are revolutionary in modern dentistry. Following your initial consultation, you can leave Seapoint Clinic with a brand new smile in as little as 45 minutes in some cases! Unlike their porcelain counterpart, Instant Veneers don't require any invasive preparation of your own natural teeth. In some cases you might want to opt for teeth whitening, but that purely depends on how white you want your smile to be. To create your new smile is quite simple, the dentist will expertly layer the composite veneers around your teeth to your desired shape, shade and contour. You will leave the clinic straight away with a beautiful smile, not numb; ready to enjoy your new smile!
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are made using a very fine layer of tooth-coloured porcelain which is then bonded into place over your own natural tooth. By doing so, we can both improve the shape and colour as well as protect the damaged surface below. Before you get veneers we will normally arrange a smile simulation which will show you how your new smile is likely to look. We can modify this as needed until you are happy without ever touching your teeth. Once you are happy we get the simulation converted into porcelain in California before we bond them in place for you. Da Vinci veneers can be made in practically any shade you wish and can provide you with a beautiful smile to be proud of. As the largest provider of Da Vinci veneers in Ireland you can rest assured you will get the result you desire.
Invisalign
Invisalign is ideal for anyone who may have been put off by opting for orthodontic treatment at the prospect of wearing bulky metal braces. Unlike conventional braces, Invisalign involves wearing a set of customized clear aligners, allowing you to brush as normal and to eat whatever you want during treatment. The average treatment time for this is about a year but can be faster where fewer movements are needed. It also works great for people who have previously worn braces as children and had some orthodontic relapse where the teeth drift back. With these clear aligners you can move the teeth back without anyone knowing. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you.
Six Month Braces
Six Month Braces are among our most popular forms of treatment, meaning we have more experience of this amazing treatment than any other dental practice. 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.
Teeth Whitening
Our light-activated teeth whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching coloured substances while the structure of the teeth is unchanged. The Teeth Whitening light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the teeth.
