OUR SERVICES

For over seven years, Mr Nick O’ Hare has been delivering great results for adults who have been unhappy with their smile. This might be due to the recrowding of teeth after orthodontic treatment as a teenager. Or indeed a problem they just didn’t get around to fixing when they were younger.

Using a variety of techniques including SimplySmile, SecretSmile and positioners similar to Invisalign, problems can be solved without friends or family being aware that you are having treatment. This is achieved by clever technology and planning which enables us to focus on the specific areas of concern.

We believe that all children should grow up with strong, healthy teeth and to give them a helping hand we offer free examinations to all children under the age of six, when attending with parents. Our team are keen to ensure children are confident at the dentist and provide a gentle yet thorough approach to treating them.

Modern orthodontic techniques mean that it is straight forward for children to have a broad smile without crowding. Although not on the GDC specialist register for orthodontics, Dr Nick O’Hare has over 20 years experience in many orthodontic techniques and so has the ability to recommend the most appropriate treatment for your child. Nick utilises computer-aided design and manufacture so that appointment times can be shortened and treatment times reduced whilst delivering the optimum outcome. More information about the CAD/CAM technology at the Insignia website or we also have a good video of the treatment.

In addition, tooth coloured/aesthetic brackets make braces less noticeable, even though fashion today dictates that most children don’t seem to worried about showing their braces; and developments in orthodontic wire technology have made treatment more comfortable and efficient.

Nick finds it very fulfilling to see the positive changes in confidence and self-esteem that are so often apparent in teenagers as their treatment comes to an end.

In order to make this treatment accessible to as many children as possible, we are happy to allow parents to spread the cost over the expected duration of treatment (typically 12- 18 months).

Did you know that you can now visit the Hygienist without seeing one of our dentists first ?

If you are a patient at another practice or simply want to have that lovely feeling of a clean mouth and fresher breath, then you can book an appointment directly with one of our Hygienists. Contact our receptionist on 725520 for details.

Our hygienists are here to help you keep your teeth clean. They can advise you on the best techniques to a cleaner healthier mouth. They will also help you with the areas that you are not cleaning so well.

Having a clean mouth does not just prevent bad breath; dirty teeth can be the cause of gum disease and loss of teeth. Failure to look after gums properly has also been implicated in heart disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis and respiratory problems.

The condition of your teeth and gums can be a real indicator of your general health and our hygienists are here to look after you.

We all want nice white teeth but if tea, coffee, red wine or the foods you love have started to stain yours, we’re all kitted out to help brighten them again. Whitening is a great way to improve your smile in a safe and quick way.

Having brighter, white teeth can do a lot to boost your confidence. In fact studies have shown that we associate whiter teeth with younger faces.

At the Parade Dental Practice we use custom made bleaching trays, which are worn overnight or during the day. It is important that the correct strength of bleach is prescribed specifically for you so you get the desired result. We find that this approach gives the most reliable results to a whiter smile.

At the Parade Dental Practice, we have signed up to the States of Jersey “Putting Children First” initiative. We firmly believe that good dental health starts in childhood with good oral hygiene and good dental habits.

One of those habits should be regular visits to the dentist. In order to encourage Children & Teenagers to come to the dentist for routine check ups, we have halved the cost of our exams and X-rays for 2020.
