Yes, your dentist can help you look younger!
Tooth Whitening
Whitening your teeth, if you are a suitable candidate , is an excellent way to brighten your teeth which in turn can lead to a natural , more youthful look. Tooth whitening is a safe, tried and tested dental treatment used routinely in dentistry to improve the shade of your teeth without causing damage. Dr Collins favour's the overnight system of tooth whitening which involves the taking of impressions of teeth and having whitening trays made to fit your teeth perfectly. Whitening gels is then placed into these whitening trays for 2-8 hours a day over 2-3 weeks in order to for the gel to activate and to lighten the pigment of the teeth. It is a very cost efficient, effective way to improve the appearance of your teeth and to help you look younger! Not all patients are suitable for whitening, but if you speak to your dentist, they can assess where you are a suitable candidate or now. The Dental Council of Ireland does not permit dentist in Ireland to carry out laser whitening. Click here for the Irish Dental Association's information on tooth whitening.
Anti wrinkle Treatments
Anti wrinkle treatments (botox) are a very effective way to help you look younger. In Ireland, dentists and doctors, assuming they have the necessary qualifications, are the only medical professionals who are permitted to carry out injectable facial aesthetics treatments like Botox . Botox is a highly potent toxin, that when given in tiny doses in the correct position, will stop a muscle from moving. It is usually given on the forehead , the glabellar region ( in between the eyebrows) an around the eyes. Botox wears off after about 3-4 months. Dr Collins gets all her Botox material from Allergan.
