Now I don’t want to get too technical here(!) but you may know that CEREC is the most modern, accurate and speedy way of replacing your old mercury amalgam fillings with porcelain inlays. Previously you would have had to have had impressions taken of your teeth and them sent of to the laboratory to be made into porcelain . You would return 2 weeks later, have another injection, temporary dressing removed and your new inlay tried in. Sometimes they wouldn’t fit, which would lead to the time and inconvenience of having new ones made.

    CEREC changed all that , In one visit,  here at SAVING FACES in Aintree near Liverpool. we take images of your teeth and they’re scanned into the CEREC computer which them presents us with a “virtual inlay”. This information is electronically transferred into a milling machine which makes your perfectly fitting inlay in minutes. The inlay so then fitted. The whole process takes 1 hour.

    In addition we now have the facility to do more than 1 CEREC per visit with some new software added to the programme.For example Jackie from Liverpool was in to day and had 2 huge old amalgam fillings in her bottom right back teeth. In one visit these were removed, new CEREC inlay so made and bonded into her teeth. They are guaranteed for 5 years but should last many more years than that if looked after well.

It really is amazing these days the many ways we have to create straight white teeth.The ways most people know about when they watch 10  Years younger or Extreme Makeover, are smile makeovers and porcelain veneers. And they are certainly the quickest way of having a straight white smile, and is a lot  of what we do here at SAVING FACES In Liverpool. But we now have other ways to straighten teeth without the use of porcelain.

    Orthodontics is all about moving teeth, and traditional adult orthodontics has often consisted of wearing fixed braces for up to 2 years. Many adults don’t want to wear fixed braces for that long. So now we have 3 other options. Invisalign, a system of wearing clear thin gumshield or “Aligners” usually for 9- 12 months. We also have  “6 months smiles” where a fixed but tooth colured brace is worn, but usually only for 6 months to achieve to desired effect in the front of the mouth, and finally the Inman Aligner, a removable appliance which is worn for only a few months to straighten just the 4 front teeth.

    Things have never been so exciting in Cosmetic Dentistry here at Saving Faces,and especially now money is tight ,more people than ever are using our easy payment 0% finance scheme. Most people pay around £80 per month for their treatment, and at SAVING FACES in Liverpool, it really is a case of” smile now pay later”
