Facial Rejuvenation in Ipswich

Facial Rejuvenation in Ipswich

PRGF-Endoret – Plasma Rich in Growth Factors

Blood plasma and platelets carry growth factors, which are proteins that induce and accelerate tissue repair and healing. By activating platelets, they release growth factors that act in the target tissue where the PRGF has been applied.
As we are using plasma from the patient it is completely biocompatible and there is therefore no possibility of immunological reactions. There are no foreign fillers or toxins such as botox.

PRGF Actions:

  • Stimulates natural production of hyluronic acid which gives the skin more body.
  • Stimulates secretion of collagen and elastin which generates greater firmness and consistency in the skin.
  • Hydration of skin.
  • Increased luminosity and luster of skin.
  • Note that PRGF will remove small superficial wrinkles but not deep wrinkles.

Process

Facial Rejuvenation in Ipswich
Normally three separate sessions are required 3-4 weeks apart to gain the best results.
It involves taking blood which is then separated out. An anaesthetic cream is placed over the facial tissues that are to be treated for up to 1 hour. Local anaesthetic injections may be needed around the lip/chin area.
The plasma is then injected into the facial tissues and we allow 15-20 minutes of recovery time after.
It is quite likely that you will not notice any great change after the first procedure and sometimes after the second. It is a cumulative effect and that is why normally we recommend three sessions.

Adverse Effects

There are no adverse effects of the material as it is totally natural.
Taking of blood can cause some localised bruising. If you have difficulty giving blood this may need to be discussed first.
The face can be sore afterwards and we recommend cold compress.
No makeup should be worn before the procedure and afterwards for 24 hours.

Veneers Improve the Look and Shape of Your Teeth

Veneers Improve the Look and Shape of Your Teeth

Veneers are bonded to the outside surface of the teeth and are used to improve the appearance of discoloured teeth or change the colour, shape, size, or length. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

  • They provide a natural tooth appearance.
  • Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
  • Veneers can cover virtually any imperfection, including gaps, chips, and stains.
  • Cover slight crookedness.
  • A quick fix to straighten teeth.
  • Veneers are durable and scratch-resistant.
FAQ

How long does a veneer last?

A veneer should last for many years, if they are looked after well.

How does a dentist prepare the tooth for a veneer?

Your dentist will remove a little of the outer enamel of the tooth so that the veneer will bond securely in place. Next, your dentist will take an ‘impression’ (i.e. make a mould) of your teeth and record the shade of the adjacent teeth so that the veneer is a perfect match. Only a very small amount of tooth is removed in the preparation process, so a temporary veneer probably won’t be needed while the permanent veneer is being made – you also probably won’t need anaesthetic.

White Fillings

Benefits of White Fillings

  • White, cosmetic fillings can last 20 years!.
  • Cosmetic fillings are nearly identical from the natural tooth tissue.
  • They wont decay underneath.
  • They are strong and less prone to fracture.
  • They are so much better (for both tooth and patient) then mercury fillings and they look good too!.
FAQ

Why should I consider white fillings?

Most people have fillings of one sort or another in their mouths. Nowadays fillings are not only functional, but can be natural looking as well. Many people don’t want silver fillings that show when they laugh or smile because they are more conscious about the way they look.

What are tooth-coloured fillings made of?

This can vary, but they are mainly made of glass particles, synthetic resin and a setting ingredient. Your dentist should be able to give you more information about the particular material that they use.

Tooth Whitening In Ipswich

Tooth Whitening is a safe and effective way of improving the appearance of your smile without causing any pain. Teeth whitening treatments can transform the appearance of the teeth in a matter of hours and give you a bright healthy smile.
Over the course of time, the natural whiteness of the teeth can fade and our day-to-day lifestyle, habits and diet can have an impact on the colour of the teeth. Our whitening treatments can help restore the natural whiteness of the teeth, boosting your confidence and giving you a smile to be proud of.

Benefits of Tooth Whitening

  • Proven track record, we have been bleaching teeth over a number of years, we have tried many different methods and products and we know what really works.
  • Our methods are safe and gentle.
  • Teeth Whitening removes stubborn stains.
  • Free Tooth whitening assessment and cosmetic consultation.
  • Teeth whitening boosts self-esteem.

The procedure

Vital teeth are bleached by application of the teeth whitening substance to the external surface of the teeth. The whitening procedure will first be carried out in the dental surgery, and then at home. This involves the use of 10-15% material called carbamide peroxide, applied in a custom made tray for a certain number of hours per day or during sleep, for up to 14 days. Treatment is carried out by the patient him/herself, but the dentist monitors the process. A change is noticeable usually within two weeks but the process can be carried on for longer. Darker brown discolouration may take longer and may not change completely.

FAQ

How long will it last?

The likelihood is that it will last for a year although ‘top-ups’ may be needed at 6 monthly intervals.

Will there be any problems

The only real side effect teeth whitening are that some sensitivity can result (especially cold). If this occurs then we advise the use of sensitive toothpaste such as Sensodyne. If it continues then we recommend contacting the surgery.

How long does the procedure take?

First of all you will need 2 or 3 visits to your dentist. Your dentist will need to make a mouthguard and will need to take impressions for this at the first appointment. Once your dentist has started the treatment, you will have to continue the treatment at home. This will mean applying the bleach regularly over 2-4 weeks for up to 5 hours at a time.

Root Canal Treatment

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment (also called ‘endodontics’) is needed when the blood or nerve supply of a tooth (called pulp) is infected through decay or injury. You may not feel any pain in the early stages of the infection. In some cases your tooth could darken in colour, which may mean that the nerve of he tooth has died (or dying).
The aim is to remove all the infection from the root canal system, clean, disinfect and fill the canals, to prevent further infection. At the initial appointment, the infected pulp tissue is removed, and any abscess present is drained. This is done by making a hole through the tooth into the pulp chamber. The root canals are located. The entire root canal system is washed with disinfectant and an antibacterial dressing placed. At the next visit, if the infection has cleared completely, the tooth is filled with a plastic material down the roots (gutta percha) and the hole in the tooth filled. A crown will subsequently be placed to protect the remaining tooth structure.
FAQ

Does root canal treatment hurt?

No, usually a local anaesthetic is used and should feel no different to having an ordinary filling done. There may be some tenderness afterwards but this should gradually get less over time.

What does it involve?

The aim of the treatment is to remove all the infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any other infection.

Root canal treatment is skilled and time-consuming procedure. Most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits to your dentist.

What if I don’t have the treatment?

Root-treated teeth should be looked after just the same as any other tooth. Remember to clean your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, with a fluoride toothpaste. Cut down on sugary foods and drinks, and have them only at mealtimes if possible. See your dental team as often as they recommend for regular check-ups.

How do I care for my tooth afterwards?

It is important to keep the crown just as clean as you would your normal teeth. The crown itself cannot decay, but decay can start where the edge of the crown joins the tooth. Brush last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste, and clean in between your teeth with ‘interdental’ brushes or floss.

  • Do not eat anything until the numbness in your mouth wears off. This will prevent you from biting your cheek.

  • Do not chew or bite on the treated tooth until you have had it restored by your dentist.

  • Be sure to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would.

  • If the opening in your tooth was restored with a temporary filling material, it is not unusual for a thin layer to wear off in-between appointments. However, if you think the entire filling has come out, contact your endodontist.
