Family Dentist Consultation Ireland

A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth and held in place by dental adhesive or cement. Crowns are used for several reasons: as a protective cover for badly decayed teeth or fractured teeth as a permanent restoration for teeth with large fillings to correct minor problems in natural teeth like spacing and irregular shape or severe discolouration. Crowns are made of inert materials that do not deteriorate over time. However, the underlying tooth is still prone to decay and gum disease. Crowns on average last between 10 and 15 years. Ceramic on the surface may chip or fracture. Avoid chewing excessively hard substances like ice or bones. Daily brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining good oral health as well as keeping the crown trouble-free. The most vulnerable portion of the crown is the margin or the junction between tooth and crown. Regular check-ups will enable your dentist to detect any problems with your crown and recommend necessary treatment.

Dental veneers (porcelain or composite) have long been used to create the ultimate smile makeover. With dental veneer treatment, it’s possible to transform crooked, stained, damaged or badly worn teeth into a brand new, straight, white smile, as seen on many of the Hollywood celebrities. Ready to book your free consultation for dental veneers?If you are unhappy with the shape, position or colour of your teeth, then dental veneers may be the solution for you. Veneers are a good treatment option to consider because they look like natural teeth and don’t require a major procedure. A veneer is a very thin, tooth - coloured piece of porcelain (like a false finger nail) that is bonded on top of your own tooth. Based on your needs , Navan Dental can adjust the shape of your veneers to make your teeth overall look longer and or closer together. You can have just one veneer or a whole set, known as a smile makeover. Porcelain veneers, on average, last approximately 10 years.
