CEREC (Ceramic Reconstruction)

Crowns & Onlays Restoration System

CEREC is the amazing restoration system that provides on-site crowns and onlays. In most dental practices you will have to pay two visits and receive two injections for crowns, veneers or onlay treatments. At O’Connor Moore Dentist Sligo, however, you can be fitted for a permanent crown on the same day you visit the Sligo dental practice, meaning your schedule isn’t disrupted for more time than is needed.

Custom-made Ceramic Tooth Restorations

Not only are you able to drastically cut treatment times with CEREC, you are also able to receive custom-made, ceramic tooth restorations which look and feel like real teeth. Before, the only materials available for procedures involving crowns and onlays were amalgam, gold and other noticeable metals. This isn’t the case with the CEREC system, which produces dental restorations made of ceramic for natural looking and feeling teeth.

Aside from looking a great deal more attractive, ceramic also comes with added health benefits, such as a natural reaction to hot and cold sensations, which stops them from breaking. A ceramic restoration also means that less of the natural tooth is lost when the restoration is placed.  Read about our CEREC Guarantee here.

Dental Bridges

Restoration of Missing Teeth

Dental bridges are used for the restoration of missing teeth. When teeth are lost a gap will appear, which if left untreated can lead to future problems such as eating difficulties and speech impediments.

This is because when the gap is left unfilled the teeth surrounding it are inclined to drift into the empty space, which can cause the problems mentioned above and also compromise the structure of your mouth.

Bridges fill these gaps by using the teeth on the opposing sides of the void to act as a stable anchor for a set of replacement teeth, which sit in the middle of the gap. Bridges can utilise different materials such as porcelain and metal, but it will be up to your dentist to recommend the best type of bridge for you.

Dentures

Natural looking, comfortable and durable dentures from your Dentist in Sligo

Dentures replace missing teeth, whether a few or an entire set have been lost. Tooth loss can occur for a number of different reasons, including tooth decay, accident or injury. A set of dentures can restore a person’s smile and stop any complications arising from gaps, such as speech impediments, problems when eating and a decrease in facial structure.

Dentures can be made to fill in a few gaps (a partial denture) or entire tooth loss (a complete denture). Today, dentures needn’t be clunky and uncomfortable and a denture from the O’Connor Moore Dental Practice will be natural looking, comfortable and durable.

We make each set of dentures specifically for every client’s mouth, taking an impression of their oral cavity which is then made into a perfect pair of dentures. Dentures from O’Connor Moore Dental Practice Sligo are custom-made for each of our patients and provide the optimum level of comfort and functionality.

Replacing missing teeth is of vital importance to your oral and overall health. To find out the best denture for you, please get in touch and arrange a consultation at our Sligo Dental Practice O’Connor Moore.
