Partial Dentures Galway

Although acrylic (plastic) dentures are always an initial option and often chosen following the loss of teeth, we would always recommend “chrome cobalt” dentures.

Chrome Cobalt is a thin, light and strong hygienic alloy, silver in colour.

• They grip the remaining teeth better to give improved function when eating and talking. The thin metal clasps are individually designed to engage the undercuts of the supporting teeth. These clasps can be made of silver or gold.
• They will usually cover only a fraction of the roof of the mouth compared with the acrylic option which covers the whole of the palate.
• They are light, slim and hygienic.
• They can often be added to, if a further tooth fails.
• They can be combined with precision attachments, crowns and dental implants in more advanced cases to increase retention further and eliminate the need for metal clasps.

Attention to detail is the key to success. Using double impression techniques with customised impression trays to give precise details we cast the models up here in our own laboratory and work with our master technician on the required stages:

1. Initial impressions.
2. Second impressions in custom trays and denture design.
3. Metal frame fit check, tooth selection and bite determination.
4. Final try-in and patient approval of colour, shape of teeth and comfort.
5. Final fit.
6. Follow up and aftercare.

Cerec Technology (Ceramic Restoration Construction)

As the first practice in Ireland to incorporate the Cerec system, we’ve been using it in the practice now since 2001. Using a small “camera” to take an optical impression of your tooth or cavity, we can now design the new restoration on the computer, cut it out of a solid block of matching porcelain and fit it in the same visit. With the advantages of final restoration in one visit that means only one anesthetic, no temporary, reduced need for putty impressions and tooth coloured ceramic restoration. This technique can be used to provide white fillings, inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers which are both aesthetically pleasing and have a proven prognosis. With this increasing computer sophistication we can now use a miniature infrared camera to take images of your teeth and design and manufacture your restorations in one visit.

What can we do with Cerec: one visit techniques

Fillings
Crowns and Veneers
Bridges
Implant restorations

As the first practice in Ireland to offer this facility, and with the International Trainers Certificate, we are able to offer this service as part of our normal working day. Restoration of either an old filling or a new filling presents the dentist and patient with choices and decisions. Nowadays we still have the choice of amalgam (silver/ mercury), composite (glass filler and paste), gold fillings or porcelain. Although we offer all the above materials, increasingly we look to advantages of porcelain restorations fabricated using the Cerec 3D system.

These have many advantages

• The porcelain is bonded to the tooth structure. This allows for a conservative preparation preserving as much tooth structure as possible
• The material can be matched to the tooth colour and has a natural translucency that mimics enamel
• It has wear characteristics similar to natural enamel. It will not have adverse effects on the opposing teeth and will age at a similar rate as the tooth around it
• It can be completed usually in one visit
• One aesthetic
• No temporary restoration required
• No impressions needed
• High polish and material stability with good gum health
• Long term monitoring. X-rays will pass through the porcelain but the cement will show up as a bright line. This can easily be monitored at later check ups

Cat Scanner I-CAT-3D Imaging

We have the first I-Cat in Europe of a new generation of ‘volume’ scanners.

The Cat Scan may be used for investigation of: Dental Implants.

Looking at cross sections of the bone to plan the precise placement of implants. This allows us a pre-surgical assessment to optimise the parameters of:

Presence of any pathologies

Length of proposed implant

Depth of proposed implant

Diameter of proposed implant

Orientation of proposed implant

Presence of other vital structures (nerves, sinuses etc)

Adaptation to the planned restoration

This information can then be used by the surgeon to facilitate your treatment plan.

Dental Infections requiring root canal therapy

The I-Cat will show any infections and define the extent of the infection and morphology of the roots.

Orthodontic assessment

We can determine the precise position of un-erupted teeth and how they relate to each other and the bone structure.

Oral Surgery

Wisdom tooth assessment and surgical procedures will have increased safety. Look before you leap.
