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).

Bad Breath or Halitosis can have a terrible impact on you socially and it is even something your best friends can be reluctant to mention.

There are over 80 different causes for Halitosis but around 75% are caused by something going on in your mouth. It can also be caused by extra-oral causes – problems with the respiratory system, the digestive tract or of systemic origin.

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

We all love that fresh, clean feeling on our teeth just after we have visited the hygienist but having clean teeth and healthy gums is important for your health and well being too. As well as stained, unsightly teeth and bad breath – gum disease is also linked to lots of health problems.

Few people are lucky enough to be born with perfect teeth, but orthodontic treatment can make a huge difference to you or your child.

At the Parade Dental Practice we offer a wide range of orthodontic options including traditional clear or metal fixed braces, removable braces as well as very discreet cosmetic options called Clear Aligners such as Invisalign or Spark Aligners both for children and adults.

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.

Partial dentures can be a simple, cost effective method of replacing missing teeth around the mouth. There are three basic types, Acrylic, Flexible & Metal. We will discuss which is best for you at your initial appointment.

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.

Muscle relaxing injections are our most popular anti-aeging treatment to help prevent the formation of wrinkles and to soften existing lines.
By using facial muscles repeatedly throughout our lifetime, the skin is creased in areas of greatest use.

Muscle relaxing injections take away the muscle movement under the skin therefore lines are not reinforced. After treatment, lines and creases in the skin can soften. The effect lasts for about 3 months, after which time muscle movement will return.
