Dental Hygiene For Dental Implants For Patients Near Ealing

May 20th, 2013

Dental implants are a very popular tooth replacement treatment; they restore full function to the mouth, as well as giving you a healthier, more attractive looking smile. Dental implants are designed to last for several years, but they do require a little looking after. Our friendly Sparkle Dental dentists will explain how to look after your dental implants to ensure that you get the best out of them and they last for as long as possible.

Looking after dental implants

Dental implants are small titanium screws, which are inserted into holes in the jaw bone to replace the root section of a missing tooth. Implants are a popular treatment because they last for a very long time and they offer unrivalled levels of functionality; they also help to reduce bone loss.

Implants are designed to integrate into the jaw bone and once this process (known as osseointegration) is complete, a new restoration can be attached.

Once the implants are in place, it is important to look after them, as you would look after your natural teeth. Implants are susceptible to plaque build-up and this can affect your overall oral health, as well as the success of treatment. It is important to take good care of your implants; we can offer advice about specialist cleaning and hygiene products, which are easier to use than traditional brushes and we also recommend inter-dental brushes, which remove plaque from the cracks between the teeth.

The importance of dental check-ups

In addition to good oral hygiene, dental visits are also very important and we encourage all our patients to attend routine check-ups every 6 months. If you have any problems with your implants or you experience symptoms such as tooth pain or bleeding gums, please arrange an appointment as early as possible, rather than waiting for your next scheduled check-up.

If you have any questions about dental hygiene or caring for your implants, our dentists and dental hygienists will be happy to help at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.

Dealing With Toothache-Causes And Treatment For Patients Near Ealing

April 18th, 2013

Toothache is a very common problem, which most people experience at least once in their lifetime. Toothache can be mild, moderate and severe; severe toothache can be very painful indeed and it is best to seek urgent dental treatment.

What causes toothache?

There are several possible causes of toothache; almost all cases are associated with decay or cavities (holes in the teeth). Decay is caused by plaque, which is a sticky substance made of bacteria and food debris. Plaque clings to the tooth enamel and gum line and the bacteria in plaque produce harmful plaque acids, which attack the enamel, causing erosion, when you eat. Once the tooth enamel has been penetrated, cavities can form and this can cause the infection to spread to the pulp, the living tissue of the tooth. Once the pulp is infected, the tooth effectively starts to die; when the pulp is inflamed, known as pulpitis, this commonly causes toothache.

Other causes of toothache include abscesses, which are often extremely painful, wisdom teeth erupting through the gums and ulcers in the mouth.

What should I do if I have toothache?

If you have mild toothache, taking over the counter pain relief will help to ease your pain. If you have severe toothache, it is best to see your dentist as quickly as possible; Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing offers on the day emergency appointments.

Toothache is usually a sign that something is not quite right in the mouth and it is best to see your dentist, even if the pain is mild and it subsides once you take painkillers. Often, the longer you leave toothache, the worse the problem gets and it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Treatment for toothache

Treatment for toothache may include having a filling and removing the decayed tissue from the tooth, replacing a filling that is damaged or loose or having root canal treatment; this may be required if the pulp is infected. If you have a dental abscess, this may be drained and treated using antibiotics. Painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen can help to relieve pain.

Get Periochip Hygiene Treatment At Sparkle Dental Boutique Near Ealing

March 11th, 2013

Periochip is an innovative treatment for patients with advanced gum disease (periodontal disease). At Sparkle Dental Boutique we make sure that our clients have access to the latest treatments, which is why we are so delighted to offer this new treatment.

What exactly is Periochip?

It is a small biodegradable chip designed to reduce the size of periodontal pockets, which are gaps that form between the teeth and gums as a result of severe gum disease. The chip contains 2.5mg of Chlorhexidine Gluconate and is aimed at patients who have pockets that measure 5mm or more. The chip is used in conjunction with scale and root planing treatments.

How could Periochip help me?

Studies and trials have confirmed this to be an extremely effective treatment for patients who have advanced periodontal disease. Research indicates that the chip, when used along with scaling and root planing, can reduce the size of periodontal pockets significantly.

Periochip works by combating bacteria for between 7 and 10 days. Studies show that the chip is effective in fighting a host of different microbes, meaning it can fight bacteria left in the pockets after scaling and root planing.

What does treatment involve?

The chip is inserted during what is a simple and quick procedure. Your Sparkle Dental Boutique hygienist or dentist will fit the chip under the gums following scaling and root planing. The chip dissolves independently, but patients are advised to avoid flossing for ten days as the action can move the chip out of position.

Is it painful?

The procedure to fit the chip is usually quick and painless. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity for a short period of time, but this should only be mild. If you are very nervous about having dental treatment we can apply topical anaesthetic to the gums before the chip is fitted. Please talk to our dental team about this option at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.

Does it work?

Studies show that Periochip is an effective and safe treatment. The results vary from person to person, but there is a significant difference in the depth of the pockets in patients who have been treated with Periochip, alongside scaling and root planing, and those who have just had scaling and root planing treatment.

Dental Implants For Tooth Loss Caused By Gum Disease For Patients Near Ealing

March 7th, 2013

Causes

One of the main catalysts for tooth loss in adults is gum disease, which is an even more common factor in tooth loss than tooth decay. Roughly half of all adults will experience gum disease at some point in their lives. If it is not identified and treated early on it can result in loss of teeth. The initial symptoms of gum disease include persistent bad breath and gums that are swollen, red or bleeding. If plaque builds up in the mouth it can cause gingivitis, which can easily heal if the plaque is removed. However, if it is not removed gingivitis can then turn into periodontitis, which is more serious.

If periodontitis develops the gums start to pull away from the teeth. This creates a space in which plaque can start to build up in the gums. As this plaque starts to harden the roots of the teeth will be damaged and tooth loss can be the end result.

Prevention

The best way to avoid all kinds of gum disease is to have a thorough oral hygiene routine. Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day and fluoride toothpaste should be used. Each tooth should be brushed individually, which should take at least two minutes. To ensure fresh breath the tongue should also be brushed. Flossing once a day is also vital to maintaining healthy gums, as this will clean the whole tooth—as opposed to the 60% that is covered by brushing.

Implants

If teeth are lost due to gum disease then dental implants may be the best option. They are a long-term solution that fill gaps in the mouth and are thought of as a more convenient alternative to dentures. However, cases of gum disease will need to be brought under control before you can proceed with implant treatment. These and others issues related to gum disease and tooth implants can be discussed with our dental team. For more information on dental implants please contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing for more information.

Air Abrasion For Improved Dental Hygiene Near Ealing

February 7th, 2013

Dental hygiene treatments are a great way of preventing oral health diseases, but they also help to keep your teeth looking radiant, healthy and clean. Oral hygiene treatments are designed to remove bacteria from the mouth and to clean and polish the teeth and a trip to the dental hygienist can make a massive difference on the look and feel of your teeth. A dental hygienist can achieve amazing results and you won’t believe how smooth your teeth feel and how glossy and bright they look.

Air abrasion

Air abrasion is a relatively new treatment, which polishes the teeth and removes stains to leave your smile looking beautiful and bright. Air abrasion is completely painless, there is no need for needles and injections and the results are visible instantaneously.

Staining occurs as a result of neglecting your oral hygiene, but it can also be caused by drinking coffee, red wine or tea on a regular basis and smoking.

Air abrasion uses compressed air to blow aluminium oxide into the mouth to gently remove stains and polish the surfaces of the teeth, giving you a fresh feeling and a radiant smile. When the powder hits the surfaces of the teeth, it blows the staining, producing clean, smooth pearly whites.

Air abrasion is an ideal treatment for patients who want an intensive cleaning treatment and a brighter, whiter smile; the procedure does not take long and you will be amazed at the results.

Other hygiene treatments

Our Fresh Breath Clinic is very popular; we recognise the importance of feeling confident and our hygienists work hard to ensure that our clients can smile with confidence and ease. The Fresh Breath Clinic is designed to educate patients about oral hygiene and to clean the mouth thoroughly to prevent oral diseases and ensure that the mouth is fresh and healthy.

We also offer comprehensive treatment for gum disease; we aim to promote good oral health at all times and we also provide care for patients who already have symptoms of periodontal disease. We are on hand every step of the way to offer advice and provide treatments such as scale and polish, to ease symptoms and prevent the condition from getting worse.

Our hygienists can also help with lifestyle advice and oral hygiene tips. For more information on our hygiene treatments please contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.

Traditional And Functional Fixed Braces Treatment For Patients Near Ealing

January 7th, 2013

Braces have been used for decades and fixed braces are still very popular, despite the introduction of a host of new and exciting orthodontic treatments. Traditional fixed braces are the most common type of brace. They can be used to treat patients with minor and complex orthodontic problems and they are widely available for patients of all ages. Functional braces, also known as orthopaedic braces, are a type of fixed brace that is designed for younger patients and can only be used when the mouth is still growing and developing.

Functional braces

Functional braces are recommended for children and young teenagers who have problems with the alignment of their lower and upper teeth. They are fixed to the top, bottom or both sets of teeth and they can help to correct common problems, such as protruding front teeth, misalignment of the upper and lower teeth and problems with the position of the jaw joint.

Functional braces, as the name suggests, have functional benefits, but they also improve the aesthetic of the smile, which gives children confidence and prevents them from feeling self-conscious when they smile.

Orthodontic problems are very common and often, it is best to treat them early, as they tend to get worse over time. Functional braces are designed to correct problems in young patients to prevent them from developing problems, which may be difficult to treat once they get older.

We are happy to discuss our full range of orthodontic treatments with clients so contact the team today at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.

Valplast Dentures Treat Missing Teeth For Patients Near Ealing

December 27th, 2012

Cosmetic dentures are one of the best options for people who need to replace teeth that have been extracted or have simply fallen out. Teeth can fall out or need to be extracted for a number of reasons from dental decay to an accident or injury; it could also be due to medication taken. Teeth are not guaranteed to last forever even if you take good care of them. There are a number of dental treatments available to treat missing teeth and one of these options is Valplast dentures.

Valplast dentures

Valplast dentures have been designed and created with various levels of colour and translucency so that they leave you with a natural and young-looking smile. They fit in with the rest of the natural teeth offering a discreet and natural look to the mouth.

Durable material

What sets the Valplast denture design apart is the unique design. The strong material fits securely around the existing teeth, for ease and comfort. Because the material is translucent, it picks up on the tones of the core tissue and is virtually impossible to see. It also has the benefits of strength and durability. Unlike many partial dentures, they do not have metal clasps and are therefore more pleasing aesthetically.

The procedure for fitting the dentures is non-invasive and means less time spent in the chair than with other treatments. The cost of the treatment depends on the needs of each patient; a number of payment plans are available. If you have missing teeth and are interested in Valplast dentures then please contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.
