Get The Smile You Always Wanted
A healthy smile can work wonders for our confidence and a dazzling white smile is the first thing many people notice. Long gone are the days of simply dreaming about getting that ideal smile, it's now easier and more affordable to get a bright, healthy smile. Quite often we hear from people who are convinced that there simply isn't a treatment for them. However, here at Seapoint Clinic we offer a wide range of treatments to suit each and every person who comes in through our door. Whether it's a simple check up or straightforward dental implants, we can help get you smiling once again.
Teeth Whitening
At Seapoint Clinic we use combination whitening, in which we combine two of the best whitening techniques into one treatment. On average it takes about 90 minutes here followed by another week of home whitening. The results actually never wear off. However, people's teeth do naturally darken over a period of time, something which staining foods and drink as well as smoking can accelerate. This is why we advise you to maintain your white smile by purchasing professional whitening gels, readily available here at Seapoint Clinic.
Veneers
We offer both Instant and Porcelain Veneers, meaning there is a treatment to suit any budget. For example, Instant Veneers cost around €300 per tooth and can be completed in as little as a single visit. Another benefit of Instant Veneers is that they won't require any preparation of your teeth, unlike Porcelain Veneers. People tend to opt for Porcelain Veneers when they want to make a radical change to their teeth and start from €800 per tooth. They are handcrafted by technicians in California and are made up of a very fine layer of tooth-coloured porcelain, which is then bonded over your own natural tooth in order to improve or protect its appearance. We even arrange a Digital Smile Design session in our own in-clinic studio, where you can see firsthand how your new smile will look before treatment even begins.
Instant veneers is a great treatment because it can be done in just one visit. There's no drilling of your natural teeth, no need for numbing and it gives really lovely results.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics can help a number of issues and unlike years gone by, you won't be left with a mouth full of lumbering steel. Thanks to advancements made in modern dentistry, you can discreetly straighten your teeth without the need of traditional "railtrack" braces. Teeth that do not properly fit together or teeth that are crooked are at a higher risk of being lost early due to tooth decay, as there is more pressure on the jaw. You can even have teeth in as little as six months thanks to Six Month Braces or why not opt for Invisalign, where you can eat and drink as normal throughout treatment! It really is that simple.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a revolution in modern dental technology. If you're missing one, a few or an entire mouth of teeth - dental implants is the solution you've been looking for. Maybe you're sick and tired of dealing with an ill-fitting denture or sticky dental pastes? With dental implants, you can eat, chat and laugh with renewed confidence and never have to worry about hiding your smile ever again. Without a tooth root, your jawbone can actually reduce in size and cause the face to collapse. This occurs over time and can drastically age a person. When maintained properly, your dental implants will prevent any further bone loss. Dental implants will even encourage the growth of jaw bone. We want to restore our patient’s confident smiles and allow them to live their lives in comfort. It’s a fantastic time to be in dentistry and a great time to be changing lives. Choose dental implants at Seapoint Clinic as the right investment in your oral health.
Healthy Lifestyle
Simple little things such as avoiding fizzy drinks, sugary treats and smoking can dramatically help improve your overall oral care. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables combined with regular visits to your dentist and a proper oral hygiene routine could mean your sparkling smile lasts a lifetime.
