Victoria Dental Care

Victoria Dental Care has one site in Carrickfergus. It provides general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants and facial aesthetics.

General dental treatments include examinations, children’s dentistry, fillings, gum therapy, crowns, onlays, bridges, root treatment, extractions and dentures. Examinations can include checks of the TMJ, existing fillings, fresh decay, acid erosion, tooth wear, gums, supporting bone, oral hygiene, oral cancer, dry mouth and cosmetic concerns.

Children can be examined and registered from birth, with a Health and Care number needed. The practice says it takes time to talk with children and parents about dental health and decay prevention.

Fillings include composite or resin options where suitable. Gum therapy involves cleaning hardened deposits and irritating toxins, using ultrasonic vibration and water-spray. Crowns, onlays and bridges are made by registered laboratories, with metal and tooth-coloured options mentioned.

Root treatment is offered for teeth affected by nerve damage or infection. Extractions are offered for teeth that need removal, including broken teeth or orthodontic reasons. Dentures are available for missing teeth, including private options using high-impact materials, metal frameworks and natural-looking teeth.

For tooth clenching and grinding, the practice offers management with bite guards or splints. It specifically mentions the SCI, or sleep clench inhibitor. Cosmetic services include tooth whitening, tooth straightening and tooth bonding. Facial aesthetics include anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.
