Managing NHS Capacity & ICB Guidelines

As you can imagine, we have been inundated with requests for NHS dental care across the region. While our goal is to care for as many patients as possible, we are currently required to follow the clinical allocation and prioritisation framework set by the Integrated Care Board (ICB).

We are continuing to work closely with the ICB to explore every opportunity for additional NHS provision so that we can expand access to as many residents as possible over time.

Current Appointment Prioritisation

In strict accordance with ICB guidelines, available appointments are currently being prioritised for:

• Patients experiencing acute dental pain or urgent dental problems
• Children aged 16 years old or younger

How to Book Urgent & Child appointments

To manage demand fairly and effectively, urgent appointments are released one week in advance. These can be booked online, by calling the practice team, or by visiting us in person.

Dental crowns play an important role in maintaining oral health and function after the loss of natural tooth structure. They can help restore your smile, support chewing and speaking, and protect teeth that may otherwise be at risk of further damage. Proper care of a dental crown helps support its longevity and contributes to overall dental hygiene. Speak to your dentist at Genix to find out whether private dental crown treatment is suitable for you.

The post Points to remember appeared first on Genix Healthcare.

Crowns are restorations that look like teeth and are made to fit over a specially prepared tooth. An incredibly versatile treatment modality, crowns are indicated in a variety of situations:

• Strengthening a tooth that may be prone to getting damaged due to:

⁃  A large cavity

⁃  An extensive filling

⁃  Significant wear

⁃  A crack

⁃  A fracture

⁃  Substantial chipping not corrigible with simpler treatments like composite bonding

⁃  Little remaining tooth structure

⁃  Past root canal treatment

• Improving the appearance of a tooth that is:

⁃  Discoloured

⁃  Misshapen

• Correcting the alignment of a tooth that is out-of-arch
• Attaching bridges to replace missing teeth

The post Who are dental crowns for appeared first on Genix Healthcare.

• Relatively simple workflow to receive definitive fixed restorations which look, feel and function in a way that similar to your natural dentition
• Satisfactory long-term return to optimum function
• Easy incorporation of aesthetic corrections in the treatment plan
• Higher gains in oral-health-related quality-of-life which means you feel good about your teeth

The post Advantages of dental crowns appeared first on Genix Healthcare.

Making a crown involves creating space for the material from which they will be made. Depending on your clinical situation, your Genix dentist will present to you the dental crown treatment possibilities that are appropriate to restore your aesthetics and function. Once you have chosen the material you would like your crown to be made out of, your dentist will shape the teeth to receive the crown keeping in mind the specific requirements for that material. An impression or a scan of your teeth is then taken to prepare a model of your jaw, and your bite is recorded.

The dental lab then prepares your bespoke crown. Once the crown is trialled for the fit, bite, appearance and comfort, it is cemented securely in your mouth.

You may be offered the following types of crowns based on the material used:

Metal

The time-honoured choice to make a strong, long-lasting restoration, metal crowns are made of a variety of purpose-created metal alloys. These include alloys that contain gold or other precious metals like platinum or palladium, as well as non-precious metal alloys that contain nickel and chromium. A particularly great choice in back teeth where space is tight or when the bite is heavy, metal crowns are most appropriate in areas that are aesthetically not very critical due to their metallic appearance. The dental lab employs different methods to make these: traditional casting, metal-laser-sintering and milling.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal

Occupying the middle ground with tooth-like appearance and strength from the metal in them, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns—also sometimes known as porcelain-bonded-to-metal crowns—are created by layering porcelain on a metal substructure. This unique combination is put to use not only in the back teeth, but also sometimes in the front teeth. Due to the need to mask the metal, these crowns are not as translucent as teeth. This opacity limits their use in aesthetically sensitive areas.

All-ceramic

All-ceramic crowns—also called all-porcelain crowns—are made of specialty tooth-coloured ceramics of different varieties, and hence can offer life-like aesthetic appearance thanks to their translucency which approaches that of the natural teeth. The different types of ceramics used include lithium disilicate (e.g. e.max®), alumina-reinforced (e.g. Procera®) and zirconia (Lava®, BruxZir®). They excel in different areas: some are better cosmetically; some are stronger than others. Your Genix dentist will help you arrive at which one is best for you.

Temporary crowns

Until your permanent crown is cemented in your mouth, it may be necessary to provide a provisional replacement to ensure that the shaped teeth are held in place and to take care of possible sensitivity. Temporary crowns made of materials like acrylic and composite are useful for this purpose, and sometimes may be made chairside by the dentist themselves. They are cemented with temporary cements to allow easy retrieval when the permanent restoration is to be placed.
