<span>Like all dental procedures, sedation has progressed significantly in the last few years and there are a range of sedation techniques available in addition to traditional local anaesthetic. If dental phobia is a concern for you then sedation dentistry may be an option for treating your dental phobia. </span><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Sedation Dentistry </span><span>is a contemporary technique that </span><span>provides a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for people receiving dental treatments. </span><span>Sedation Dentistry</span><span> enables patients to become drowsy and generally sleep throughout their whole dental treatment, avoiding the</span><span> common apprehension known as dental phobia.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Sedation dentists</span><span> usually use an IV sedation device, which refers to the use of anaesthesia delivered intravenously. Using an IV sedation pump the dental phobia dentist brings patients to a state where they do not feel anything, though they are capable of breathing on their own. This </span><span>dental tool</span><span> is </span><span>safe and leaves you with no memory of the procedure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Patients, who are best suited to the technique of sedation dentistry, include those who suffer from intense fear of dental treatments, dislike needles and have difficulty numbing with conventional dental anaesthesia. </span><span>Sedation dentistry</span><span> is also an ideal option for those who have sensitive teeth have strong gag reflexes and hate the noise, smells and tastes associated with a dental treatment. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>By visiting a sedation dentist they can help you overcome your dental anxieties and fear allowing you to receive the dental care you need. For your next dental procedure talk to your dentist about sedation as a dental phobia treatment. <strong></strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="img_0948" src="http://dentistparramatta.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img-tw.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="229" />Professional Teeth whitening is one of the most convenient and effective ways to shred years of your appearance. We all want radiant smiles but often stained or discoursed teeth can prevent us from having that perfect, youthful smile. Professional tooth whitening unlike other teeth whitening product kits is a dental procedure that whitens your teeth using laser advanced technology, capable of removing enamel stain. Popular whitening treatments such as zoom teeth whitening will whiten your teeth dramatically, giving you a beautiful new smile.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most teeth whitening procedures use a high grade tooth whitening gel that is activated by a high power light laser to achieve the perfect shade. As a procedure laser tooth whitening is quick, painless, safe and most of all effective. Tooth whitening is controllable, allowing a dentist to adjust the level of whitening to meet your needs. Laser teeth whitening will improve your facial appearance by whitening your stained and discoloured teeth up to 10 shades lighter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tooth discoloration occurs through both extrinsic staining and intrinsic staining. Extrinsic stains are those that show on the surface of the teeth as a result of exposure to foods, tobacco dark-coloured beverages and routine wear and tear. Intrinsic stains are those that form on the interior of teeth, this is a result of trauma, aging and exposure to minerals. Teeth whitening can remove both extrinsic stains and intrinsic stains.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teeth whitening can dramatically change the colour of your teeth, this will enhance your entire profile giving you a radiant and confidant smile.  If you are looking for a quick way to dramatically enhance your smile, professional teeth whitening may be right chose for you. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="img_0948" src="http://dentistparramatta.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img-sedation-1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="229" />Many dental practices are now employing sleep dentistry for a relaxing, trauma and pain free dental experience.</p>
<p>Teeth play an essential role in our health, but for some of us anxiety or fear of dental work can prevent us from receiving the adequate dental care we really need.  With sedation dentistry you no longer need to feel anxious or concerned about your visit to the dentist.</p>
<p>Sedation cosmetic dentistry is an ideal option if you have experienced problems becoming numb with usual dental injections or have a fear of needles. It is also beneficial if you have sensitive teeth or require multiple dental procedures, such as a complete smile makeover.</p>
<p>Sedation dentistry is also an ideal option for those who have sensitive teeth have strong gag reflexes and hate the noise, smells and tastes associated with a dental treatment. Patients are more able to undergo long, complex dental procedures, sleeping throughout the treatment. Completely safe, the facility for sedation during treatment leaves no memory of the procedure.</p>
<p>Sedation dentistry will make you feel completely relaxed and ensure you have a pain free dental procedure. Sedation dentistry has many other benefits for those who suffer from dental anxieties. Sedation allows for less recovery time from dental procedures and reduces the chance of any nausea.</p>
<p>A Sedation dentist can help eliminate your dental anxieties and fear allowing you to receive the dental care you require. If you are hesitant about the dental treatment you  require because you have a dental fear or are anxious about undergoing long and complicated dental procedures, sedation dentistry can make you feel comfortable during the entire dental treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="img_0948" src="http://dentistparramatta.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img-tw.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="229" />Professional tooth whitening has become one of the most convenient and effective cosmetic dentistry procedures available for both men and women. Teeth whitening can be an affordable and quick way to transform the aesthetics of your smile. Professional tooth whitening, unlike other teeth whitening products is a dental procedure that whitens your teeth, using laser advanced technology. Through this method, your dentist is capable of removing enamel stains and whitening your teeth with great success. Popular whitening treatments such as zoom teeth whitening can whiten your teeth dramatically, giving you a beautiful new smile.<br />
 <br />
Tooth discolouration occurs through both extrinsic staining and intrinsic staining. Extrinsic stains are those that show on the surface of the teeth as the result of exposure to foods, tobacco, dark-coloured beverages and routine wear and tear. Intrinsic stains are those that form on the interior of teeth – these are often the result of trauma, aging and exposure to certain minerals.</p>
<p>Professional teeth whitening can remove both extrinsic stains and intrinsic stains, whitening stained and discoloured teeth by up to 10 shades. Most teeth whitening procedures use a high grade tooth whitening gel that is activated by a high power light laser, to achieve the perfect shade. As a procedure, laser tooth whitening is comfortable, quick, safe and most of all effective.</p>
<p>If you have received other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers, Invisalign or gum sculpting, tooth whitening can complement these treatments for a complete smile transformation. Professional tooth whitening is controllable, allowing a dentist to adjust the level of whitening to meet your needs.</p>
<p>If your once white and bright teeth are now discoloured through ageing and diet, then you can consider professional tooth whitening. Those who have undergone treatment in the past will agree that teeth whitening can radically change your teeth, enhancing a radiant and confident smile.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="img_0948" src="http://dentistparramatta.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img-dental-implants.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="229" />Our teeth are designed to last a lifetime but unfortunately sometimes they just don’t. As anybody who suffers from missing teeth can tell you, the appearance of your mouth can seriously detract from your overall aesthetic appeal, and the associated level of self-consciousness which accompanies tooth loss can often be debilitating.</p>
<p>In today’s society our confidence is held in great esteem, and as such, a great number of people find it challenging to maintain a healthy and necessary level of confidence in their appearance, when suffering from the absence of one or more teeth.</p>
<p>Dental tooth implants are one of modern dentistry’s most popular and innovative methods in replacing lost or damaged teeth, and they serve to not only reinstate the necessary health and composition of your mouth, but also leave you feeling greatly reassured of your oral strength and stability.</p>
<p>Missing teeth can have a number of negative effects on your oral health and wellbeing. One of the most detrimental effects of tooth loss in the underlying jawbone comes when the surrounding bone begins to shrink and eventually causes the jawbone to recede.</p>
<p>Luckily a dental implant treatment provides a means of replacing lost or damaged teeth and combats the negative effects that it can have on both your confidence and health. Regardless of the nature of the problem related with tooth loss, dental implants provide a simple solution with proven results. Dental implants are designed to suit each patient’s particular oral situation, with suitable treatment available in mini dental implants and full dental implants.</p>
<p>Dental tooth implants are designed to replicate your original teeth and feel completely natural, whilst being fully functional and preventing further tooth decay or trauma to the mouth. The durability and the strength of the dental implant can provide long lasting effects and once again you can eat and speak with comfort. If you want to smile with confidence let a dental implant specialists restore your smile with dental implants.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="img_0948" src="http://dentistparramatta.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img-sedation-2.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="229" />Teeth play an essential role in our overall health, although for some of us, anxiety and fear of dental work can prevent us from receiving the adequate dental care we require.  Overcoming this dental phobia is vital if optimum health is to be maintained and the continuation of inadequate oral health care and neglecting of gum and teeth problems can ultimately increase the severity of a number of associated health problems. Thankfully, with the help of sedation dentistry, there is no longer a need to feel anxious or concerned about your visits to the dentist.</p>
<p>Dental phobia dentists are able to utilise an IV sedation device, which involves the application of anaesthesia delivered intravenously. Using an IV sedation pump the dental phobia dentist brings patients to a state where they do not feel anything, whilst still remaining able to breathe independently.</p>
<p>Sedation dentistry is an ideal option if you have experience problems in becoming numb just through the use of standard dental injections, or have a fear of needles. It is also beneficial if you have sensitive teeth or require multiple dental procedures, such as a smile makeover.</p>
<p>Intravenous sedation dentistry will make you feel completely at ease, relaxed and insure you have a pain free dental treatment. IV sedation dentistry has many other benefits for those who suffer from dental anxieties. IV sedation allows for less recovery time from dental surgeries and reduces the chance of any nausea.</p>
<p>If you are reluctant to receive dental treatments because of an underlying fear of the procedures, or are anxious about undergoing long and complicated dental treatment, sedation dentistry can make you feel comfortable throughout the entire dental process. With the help of IV sedation dentistry, a dental phobia dentist can assist you in conquering your dental anxieties and allow you to receive the critical dental care you require.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="img_0948" src="http://dentistparramatta.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img-braces.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="229" />Invisalign is a treatment available through your dental practitioner that provides you with a revolutionary alternative to the often unsightly metal braces of the past.</p>
<p>You may have lived with the burden of a crooked smile for so long that it has become second nature to hide away what could, with the help of Invisalign treatment, be your greatest asset. A beautiful straight smile is not only an achievable goal but one that can be obtained with less of an impact on your life and appearance then you might have thought.</p>
<p>While the only obvious solution to your problem may have seemed like the undesirable use of metal braces, invisible braces now allow you to avoid the inevitable discomfort arising from metal braces, whilst also removing the often distressing sense of self-consciousness brought on by having to wear ‘train-tracks’ as an adult.</p>
<p>Once embarking on the life enhancing experience of Invisalign treatment you will undergo the photographic recording of your smile. An impression of your teeth is established and the results are scanned and recorded as 3D models which are then made into a set of aligners.</p>
<p>Completely clear, your aligners are fitted to your teeth and as time passes act to adjust your mouth to your desired structure through a series of monitored refits, gradually achieving the smile you have always wanted. Throughout this process your teeth are carefully assessed to ensure that your teeth receive the care and attention they need in order to help you shine.</p>
<p>Invisalign treatment exists as an alternative to metal braces in order to help you achieve the perfection you dream of at minimum interference to your overall face and appearance and effectively removing the trauma associated with old fashioned metal braces.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39" title="img_0948" src="http://dentistparramatta.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/img-gummy-smile.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="229" />Healthy gums are an integral part of your oral health and maintenance of an attractive smile. You may be feeling that having the perfect grin is impossible because of a gummy smile, whereby your teeth appear too short as a result of the excess gum covering  them, exposing too much of your gum-line when you smile.  Your gummy smile may have resulted from a number of conditions the most common of which include when your teeth do not recede naturally when your permanent teeth emerge, frequent grinding of the teeth and your lip line being higher than usual. Your natural smile may also tend to expose too much of your gum line.</p>
<p>It is important to keep in mind that a gummy smile may not be a problem when considering whether to have gummy smile surgery and you should consider if it will enhance both the healthiness and attractiveness of your smile.</p>
<p>To fix a gummy smile your gum and bone tissue is shaped so that more of your teeth show or that the gum line is made even. This procedure is called a ‘gum lift’ or ‘crown lengthening’.  A gum lift is a simple procedure that normally consists of a small incision into the gums and moves them away from the teeth consequently reshaping the bone and gum tissue for a more exposure. This is a minimally invasive procedure that can often be completed in one visit.</p>
<p>Having healthy gums and a more attractive smile can be easily achieved trough gum lifts. You will have more confidence in you appearance when your gummy smile is transformed into a perfect even natural looking smile.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Your smile has the capacity to be your greatest asset, emitting a sense of radiance and happiness that not only indicates your own sense of worth, but also creates a positive impact on those people around you. </span></p>

For those people lacking the self-assuredness of a confident smile, a cosmetic smile makeover can be the perfect solution to your problems. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Whether you opt for a partial or complete smile makeover, you can now undergo a range of swift, effective and unobtrusive dental treatments to equip you with the assets you need to shine in all areas of your life.  From simple methods such as tooth whitening, which can effectively remove the signs of coffee, cigarettes and wine, to more extensive treatments including porcelain veneers or implants, your dental smile makeover can make all the difference to your life and sense of well being. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Extreme smile makeovers are also an option for those people who feel unhappy about the whole appearance of their mouth. In some cases the level of self-consciousness in your smile may be at such a level that more intensive methods such as laser treatment for excess gum removal in a gummy smile can be arranged. Structural adjustments to tooth alignment and replacement with subtle orthodontic methods and implants can be sought and dealt with in a way that is comfortable, convenient and un-traumatic, leaving you with the health and vitality you need from your smile in order to glow from the inside out.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Headaches are often unbearable and if you suffer from frequent and long lasting tension headaches or migraine headaches, you may have condition called TMJ disorder. Other common symptoms experienced in suffers of TMJ syndrome are headaches, jaw, ear or facial pain and even decreased hearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Clicking or popping of the jaw and neck, as well as shoulder pain, are the frequent effects of TMJ disorder. Even though TMJ is a common disorder, many people are unaware that they have this condition and continue enduring the pain. </span></p>
<p class="contenthead" style="margin: auto 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">There are a number of things that cause TMJ with the majority of cases resulting in an incorrect bite, tooth grinding and malocclusion. </span><span class="content1"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-themecolor: text1;">Malocclusion means that your upper and lower teeth do not close together in the correct way and are misaligned, causing trauma. Fortunately there is a treatment for the headache caused by TMJ syndrome that will remove the symptoms permanently. The procedure involves patients having a bite assessment, identifying the ideal bite and subsequently achieving the ideal bite through Orthotic Therapy. Orthotic therapy requires you to wear an</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-themecolor: text1;"> unobtrusive <span class="content1"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-ansi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">oral TMJ splint during the day and in the evenings. The TMJ splint is designed to replicate your natural teeth and will not obstruct functionality. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">TMJ splint is an effective headache cure and most people find their symptoms are resolved instantly. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Every person responds differently to <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">orthotic therapy</span>, however the vast majority will experience an improvement in their TMJ symptoms. To combat those unbearable tension headaches or more severe migraines caused by TMJ dysfunction, it is worth investigating the benefits of orthotic therapy. </span></p>
