Victoria Park Dental Practice

At Victoria Park Dental, we know that not only teenagers want straighter teeth. Often adults would also like to have their smiles straightened, but think they've missed their chance or are hesitant to wear ‘train track’ braces for extended periods. For this reason, in addition to traditional orthodontics, we are pleased to offer modern, short-term solutions.

Smilelign is an orthodontic treatment involving a series of virtually invisible, removable aligners. Each aligner is custom-designed for your teeth and will move your teeth in small increments, week by week. These are changed every two to four weeks until they have moved your teeth to the final desired position. The main advantages of Smilelign are that it’s convenient, as you can remove the aligners to eat and for special social or professional occasions, and it’s discreet, as the aligners are barely noticeable.

Teeth are lost for many reasons such as age, disease or accident, and the need to replace the tooth with a functioning yet the aesthetic alternative is a top priority for most patients. Having gaps often causes feelings of insecurity and self-consciousness and can also affect the way you eat and speak. In many cases, a dental implant is an ideal and most clinically suitable solution.

A dental implant a small post made of a very strong biocompatible material, usually titanium, which is used as an artificial tooth root. During treatment, the post is implanted into the jawbone in place of the missing tooth root. The implant then serves as a base for a crown, bridge or even dentures.
