Our Dental Services

We provide a full range of Dental treatments to all Patients. For more information about any of our services please call us now.

General Dental Check Up

We recommend that our patients get a regular dental check-up at least once per year. During this appointment with our Dentist, they will check your overall health and oral hygiene, chart each of the teeth in your mouth, take X-rays, check your bite and jaw alignment. The Dentist will then advise on any cavities present in the teeth and on the overall oral health of the gums and the mouth and a fully costed treatment plan detailing any work you require will be prepared including the fees.

Scale & Polish

During a scale and polish treatment at Rathmines Road Dental Clinic, your teeth will receive a thorough cleaning from our Dentist or Hygienist. This cleaning involves the scaling away of tartar build-up on your tooth surfaces and then the polishing of your teeth. We finish off our scale and polish by using a Kavo Prophyflex 3 powder blast handpick for the removal of stains and bacterial plaque and the cleaning of enamel surfaces. This special cleaning gives a higher performance for perfect cleaning results. We recommend that patients get a professional dental cleaning at least once per year, although some patients need to come and see us every three – six months. The added benefits of a Prophyflex cleaning:

Gentle tooth cleaning without damage to enamel and no soft tissue traumatisation.
Effectively removes stains and plaque from discolouration caused by tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco.
In Aesthetic Dentistry cleaning teeth before whitening allows the natural tooth colour be precisely determined.
The bicarbonate powder, water and air mixture remove various accretions and discolourations from the tooth.

Teeth Whitening

At Rathmines Road Dental Clinic we use Opalescence whitening system. It is the worlds leading take home tooth whitening kit, as seen in Women’s Health, Men’s Fitness, InStyle and Brides. Opalescence take-home whitening gel is a professional teeth whitener available only through your licensed dental professional. Giving you a whiter, brighter smile using custom trays your dentist makes just for you. Opalescence take-home whitening gel is ideal for people who want the most customised whitening treatment possible.

Dental Crown

Our dentists use dental crowns to improve the size, shape, strength and appearance of broken down or discoloured teeth. Crowns are usually made with metal, porcelain, ceramic or a combination of these materials. When a crown is placed in the mouth it blends in with the other natural teeth making it look like a seamless part of the smile.

Dental Bridge

Dental bridges are used to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Using two crowns as anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and a false tooth in between, our dentist will fill the gap in your smile. These types of dental restorations are cemented onto existing teeth or dental implants making them immovable.

Fillings

At Rathmines Road Dental we can offer you the option of Amalgam (silver) or (white) Composite fillings to close off the spaces in your teeth and prevent bacteria from entering them. When our dentist gives you a filling, they first remove the decayed tooth material, clean the affected area, and then fill the cleaned out cavity with your chosen filling material.

Root Canal

A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma.

Bruxism

Bruxism is a condition whereby excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching wear down the tooth. Bruxism is a common problem. Some of the commonly associated symptoms with bruxism include hypersensitive teeth, aching jaw muscles, headaches, tooth wear, damage to dental restorations (e.g crowns and fillings) and damage to teeth. In many cases headaches can be one of the only short term side affects of Bruxism and therefore people may not be aware of the condition. The causes of bruxism are not completely understood, but stress has been identified as one contributing factor.

If you are suffering with Bruxism we would generally recommend a mouth guard to protect your teeth, and minimise the effects of the grinding. But, while this will help with the grinding issue short term, it might be advisable to seek help with your underlying stress or anxiety to fully resolve the matter, long term.
