Prior to being fitted with your braces your dentist will need to ensure that your teeth are in good healthy shape. This could mean taking care of any fillings that are needed, performing root canal therapy or extracting teeth that have otherwise been contributing to overcrowding in the mouth.
Once this has been taken care of, you’ll be ready for the braces to be affixed to your teeth. The entire procedure should take just one visit and you’ll be able to resume your day.
Those who have new metal or ceramic braces are encouraged to alter their diet temporarily. There should be no pain during the procedure and there should be no pain once the braces are in place. There may however be a little bit of sensitivity and tenderness as patients adjust to the sensation of the new braces. Adjusting a diet to include softer foods can also help to ensure that the tenderness is minimised. 
Perhaps one of the best advantages to fixed braces is that they are exceptionally effective at resolving a number of orthodontic concerns. They may take a bit longer than some other orthodontic solutions but they can treat a wider range of concerns.
For those who are looking for purely cosmetic solutions, some of the other orthodontic options might be the better option.
Fixed braces are very visible. This can be quite concerning to teenagers and even adults who perhaps don’t want a mouth of visible braces. The ceramic braces do offer a more discreet alternative to their metal counterparts.
Fixed braces are amongst the most affordable in orthodontic options. This makes them an attractive option for patients of all ages. -
Both myself and my husband have been Dr Erika's patients for over a decade. Crown dental is the cleanest, most equipped dental practice I have ever been to. Both dentists and the nurses are highly qualified and are brilliant with nervous patients. My husband had a dental implant done here with A+ results. Their prices are highly competitive but without compromising on quality. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

I would highly recommend. As someone who hates the dentist and put off going for years, I can say that going to Crown Dental is probably the best dental experience I've ever had. I am a very nervous patient, but Dr. Joanna is a brilliant dentist who really put me at ease.

I can't stop smiling, it boosted my confidence, I feel like a different person. Thank you dr. Laura for changing my life.

September 2, 2019I went for a check up at Crown Dental two weeks ago, after looking at my teeth for approximately 30 seconds the dentist told me I had been grinding my teeth therefore needing a mouthguard/splint and had three cavities. I was shocked as I had no prior issues with my teeth and was not experiencing any sensitivity. I was very distressed that my teeth had deteriorated so rapidly I wanted to get a second opinion. I went to a different dentist in Dublin and I was told my teeth were 100% fine. Therefore I would NOT recommend visiting this dentist.

Myself and my family has seen Dr. Erika Barta regularly. Crown Dental helped our family in many ways, we always attend for regular check-ups and cleanings. And also got implants and bridges done by Crown Dental. The staff is very helpful and professional. The environment is very relaxed, you don't feel going to the dentist 🙂 . I always recommend the clinic to my friends.

Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.

May 1, 2020Great dentists and friendly staff! I had bone augmentation, 2 implants and 3 crowns done. The whole process took about a year due to the complexity but it certainly was worth it. I am delighted with the results and will happily recommend the clinic to my friends and family.
