Prosecco Caution from your Macquarie Park and North Ryde Dental Clinic

Mon, Oct 9, 2017 | Uncategorised

The summer has, at long last, swept down upon us here at your Macquarie Park and North Ryde dental clinic, and with it comes a change in taste. We no longer look for the heavier, more stupefying foods of the colder months. Rather, we want something lighter, and tartier, on the palate.

This reality is played on both our plates and in in our glasses, and in recent years, the classic Italian beverage of prosecco has become all the rage in Sydney’s bar scenes. A carbonated wine beverage, prosecco is served cold, and its tart sweetness and easy-drinking nature has proved it ideal for many in this city, during the warm months, in particular.

However, this drink hides a dark secret. It is among the worst of all alcoholic beverages for your pearly whites. Its acidity, along with its high sugar concentrations – as much as one teaspoon per flute – provides a double-whammy.

It is worth highlighting a number of fellow poor choices in the drinker’s market. The innocent vodka/cranberry is another poor choice, as many cranberry mixers have been heavily sugared to remove their inherent sourness. Whiskey or and rum and coke mixes are similarly bad, but the worst is the innocent hangover cure, the Bloody Mary. Its sky-high acidity presents a tough go for anyone’s teeth, with the only benefits coming from the celery.

Luckily, there are some good options for the summertime drinker. Cava and light beers provide low-sugar and cool options. The humble, yet classy, gin and tonic is good too, especially if you avoid the lime. Better yet, create your own mixers using organic fruits. Your teeth will thank you for it.

The Wonders of Cosmetic Dentistry

Tue, Sep 5, 2017 | Uncategorised

The pace of advancement in modern dentistry has been profound. We now have the capabilities to not only restore functionality to a set of teeth, we can go one step further, and make them aesthetically pleasing, strong, and long-lasting. Along with this, our procedures are now pain-free, fast, and effective. It is a privileged time to be in our profession.

Cosmetic dentistry in North Ryde and Macquarie Park should never be viewed as something geared to the vain. The term is a broad one, capturing any procedure that restores both form and function. But this practice also speaks to the abilities of modern dentistry to improve our overall quality of life. An improved smile can aid our self-confidence, and as an extension, alter our interactions and our drive.

There are a raft of procedures on offer to improve the look and feel of your teeth. If you are suffering from gum recession, a gum recontouring process can improve your lot. Teeth whitening can whiten and brighten your smile, while orthodontics can improve issues such as crowding and crooked teeth.

Innovative veneers, crowns, and bridges can help to repair trouble spots, and fill in large gaps between your teeth. They are built tough, as tough as your natural enamel, so as not to fail you for a long, long time. They are also colour matched, so they won’t stand out from the remainder of your teeth.
