Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing potential issues before they become serious. At Mona Lisa Smiles, we emphasize the importance of these routine visits to ensure that your teeth and gums remain in top condition. Regular check-ups allow our experienced dentists to monitor your oral health closely, identify any early signs of dental problems, and provide timely treatment if necessary.
During a routine dental check-up, our team will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, tooth wear and erosion and other potential issues. We also check for early indications of oral cancers, ensuring that any concerns are addressed promptly. Additionally, we maintain X-ray records to track changes over time. These regular visits are crucial for catching problems early when they are often more manageable and less costly to treat.
Crucially, we also screen for hidden issues that may not manifest noticeable symptoms. Many dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, can progress significantly before becoming visible or causing discomfort.
By staying on top of your dental visits, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you are taking proactive steps to maintain a healthy, radiant smile.
At Mona Lisa Smiles, we believe that prevention is the key to long-term oral health. By scheduling and attending regular dental check-ups, you are investing in the future of your smile and overall well-being preventing the need for extensive dental procedures and minimise associated costs in the future. Contact us today to book your next appointment and ensure that your dental health remains in excellent condition.
Thanks to advancements in dentistry, we no longer depend on unattractive metals for tooth fillings. Instead, we utilise high-density porcelain blended with composite resin, which closely replicates the appearance, texture, and function of natural teeth. These modern materials adhere directly to the remaining tooth surface using adhesive technology, preserving more of the original tooth structure.
If you’re considering replacing old metal fillings, Mona Lisa Smiles offers comprehensive assistance. For extensive or intricate restorations, we may recommend options such as inlays, onlays, or crowns to restore both functionality and aesthetics.
We firmly believe that white cosmetic fillings not only enhance aesthetics but also promote better oral health compared to traditional mercury-based amalgam fillings. Many individuals prefer white fillings as they blend seamlessly with natural teeth, eliminating the concern of visible silver fillings when smiling or laughing, thus boosting confidence in appearance.
Our white fillings are meticulously sculpted and colour-matched to seamlessly bond with your enamel, providing a natural look while effectively preventing decay.
Typically composed of glass particles, porcelain, synthetic resin, and a setting agent, white fillings offer durability and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, newer materials with properties akin to silver amalgam are gaining popularity for their success in dental restorations.
The longevity of white fillings varies based on their location in the mouth and the force exerted when biting. In cases where fillings may not suffice, alternatives such as inlays, onlays, or crowns are recommended for large cavities. Explore our options for Cosmetic Fillings, Inlays, or Onlays to address your specific needs.
Adhesive dentistry technology has revolutionised dental procedures, enabling the seamless bonding of white fillings to the tooth structure. This minimally invasive approach preserves more natural tooth structure, offering significant advantages to patients.
