Sleepy and Sedated in the City of Leeds

Friday, March 29th, 2013

Dentists have never ever been in a better position than now to offer you beautiful and pain-free surgery and procedures to maintain your oral health in the city of Leeds, and yet, if you are of a nervous disposition, you will take a lot more convincing than that, that your dentist is not going destroy your mouth and leave you in intense pain throughout and afterwards. So, before you lay yourself down on the dentist’s chair, and if you do fear the worst, you should ask your dentist about being sedated. This will not only remove any chance of pain, but by going under, you certainly won’t remember anything either. If the treatment you need is rather straightforward, then all you will need is a local anaesthetic to cover any chance of pain, however, for more complicated treatments, it maybe advisable to be knocked out during the duration. This can be done via an injection or with gas, but it is lovely and you won’t feel a thing. If you go down this route though, you had better make sure you have a chauffeur to get you home, because you may well be rather wobbly on your feet until the effects wear off

Bridging over the problem in Central Leeds

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

As technology has improved in dentistry, so have the treatments that are on offer to keep you smiling and this is especially important when it comes to tooth loss in central Leeds, and the dental bridge has been on hand solving the problem for decades- a good sign really, for it proves that it works. However, the dental bridge has also become better thanks to the mini dental implant and the combination of the two has seen a great advancement in bridgework. Some bridges used to use wire and resins to secure them in the mouth, but the implant has rather changed all of that and by having one placed into the jaw can secure a long bridge in the middle, or anchor it at the end. Bridges can be colour coded to match the rest of your teeth and once you have got the hang of cleaning them and have been scared into looking after your mouth better in the future, a bridge can last for a good 20 years. They are strong and reasonably priced, plus, they are a great way to overcome tooth loss, keep your mouth healthy and put that smile back on your face again.

Dishy and delightful Dental Crowns in the City of Leeds

Monday, March 25th, 2013

If you have ever had some work done to overcome serious tooth decay or tooth loss, the chances are that you may well have had a crown fitted in order to reconstruct or replace your tooth. These really are quite a dishy way to keep your smile on track in the city of Leeds and will help keep your mouth healthy long into the future. Essentially, crowns come in three different materials depending where they need to be placed in your mouth, on the basis of strength, though some more charismatic dentists in the area will make a crown out of any material you fancy. For strength and for a crown that is exposed to strong forces going through it, gold or porcelain-over-metal are the preferred choices of materials. For lighter work, say towards the front of the mouth, a full porcelain crown can be used; although you will often see people with gold crowns at the front of the mouth- it does tend to lend itself to being a status symbol. However, the choice you make shouldn’t cloud the work that crowns are designed to do and also remember, they are designed to reconstruct and repair your mouth to keep your teeth and gums from further decay and to retain the health of your ‘bite’.

The joys of Empress Veneers in Central Leeds

Sunday, March 24th, 2013

There are some things you do each week to make you feel good about yourself and to keep that youthful look going. However, ageing is inevitable and though it will get to you in the end, you can do a lot of things to hold back the tide in central Leeds. One of the most noticeable areas of the body that will show the ageing problem is the state of your teeth and over time, they can become tired. Gaps may appear, the gums may recede, and your teeth can suffer from discolouration due to your lifestyle and what you have thrown at them. But if you recognise any of these symptoms in yourself, help is at hand in the form of Empress Veneers. These will not only overcome all these signs of ageing, but they will give you a good 20 years of youthful smiling as well. These veneers are probably the thickest around and are designed to replace the enamel of your teeth and restore your teeth to how they looked originally before ageing dug its talons in. Your teeth need to be prepared first and this will require the removal of the original enamel covering your teeth. Once done, casts are then made and sent away so that the veneers can be made. Now though they may look delicate in the palm of your hand, Empress Veneers are very strong and robust once they are bonded into place and can look after your look if you look after them. The whole procedure can be done and dusted in a few weeks and your smile, once they are fitted, will be breathtakingly refreshing.

Shaping your Teeth in the City of Leeds

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

There are some pretty nifty methods of cosmetic dentistry designed to get your into shape, though sometimes, there are easy and cheaper ways to have it done, rather than going down more expensive routes in the city of Leeds. One of these is teeth contouring, a simple treatment that can help solve simple problems whenever you smile. For teeth that are too long, a little crooked or even ‘vampire’ in their look, the teeth can be shaped by your dentist by grinding them down. Other techniques designed to contour your teeth are veneers and cosmetic bonding: both of these are excellent for redesigning the shape of your teeth, as well as covering up a myriad of problems from ageing at the same time. However, for more difficult teeth, you will have to go for something a little more intricate. Orthodontic treatments via braces and aligners are excellent for straightening teeth and solving the problems such as gapping, overcrowding and biting issues. Whatever you choose to go for, you have to remember that all of these techniques are for your own good in the long run, not just for the vanity side of things, but for the health of your mouth as well and to ensure that your jaws come together perfectly when you bite.

Choosing White Fillings in Leeds

Friday, March 22nd, 2013

There is a huge clamour among the general public right now to get the best looking teeth that they can in Leeds, and why not eh? People are constantly bombarded in the media with images of people with precious teeth in their mouths and seeing as the way modern cosmetic dentistry has evolved, getting this look is available to everyone now, so why not? One of the biggest ‘no-no’s’ right now is to have grey, amalgam fillings and slowly, these are being phased out and being replaced by white fillings that look more natural in the mouth. These fillings are not in anyway metal based like amalgam, but made from ceramics and resins. They are easy to fit and look beautiful, though most dentists will shy away from removing your amalgam fillings just to replace them with white fillings- though they can cover them over. However, there is a downside to these new styles of fillings. They are still to prove themselves when it comes to longevity and have a reputation of being weak and falling out, this is because they have a habit of shrinking when setting. However, the materials used in white fillings are evolving all of the time and they will get better- plus, they truly are the way forward if you really want that natural look in your mouth.

Central Leeds and the wondrous work of the Hygienist

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

There are some cracking dentists operating around central Leeds right now, but they wouldn’t be able to do such splendid work were it not for back-up, and in most dental surgeries you will find a hygienist lurking in the background, doing incredible work. Hygienists have a different take on your oral health and will do all in their power to promote it and help to prevent problems from arising. This starts by giving you a complete check-up for any signs of gum or periodontal disease and then they will devise a way of stopping it. This begins with deep cleaning below the gum-line to rid your teeth of any infection, but primarily, prevention is the name of the game with hygienists. They can fit you with dental sealants to prevent tooth decay and administer fluoride treatments in order to re-mineralise the enamel of your teeth- remember, prevention is the name of the game here. But a hygienist just doesn’t stop by administering deterrents, they are they perfect people to discuss all things oral with, from the way you brush and clean your teeth, herbal remedies and how to improve your diet for a better immune system. These hygienists should become your new best friends as they are the greatest ally you can find to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Beautiful Orthodontics in Leeds

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013

Having your teeth straightened is never going to be an easy period in your life, but it isn’t all about the scaffolding these days as there are some beautiful orthodontic treatments available to you in Leeds, some of the more modern braces and aligners around get your teeth fixed fast and discreetly. Some are so discreet you’d be hard pushed to tell that they are in your mouth at all. As for the speed that they work, some of the American aligners can get the job done in as little as six weeks. Having straight teeth can help to promote your smile, self confidence and a truly healthy mouth, but aside from the aesthetic value behind getting your teeth straightened, orthodontics is also about protecting the ‘bite’ in your mouth as well, in order to protect your jaw joints. A true occlusion can promote the overall welfare in your mouth, and this area of dentistry is also employed when it comes to overcoming injury- again it’s all about the bite when it comes to orthodontics.

Getting an Amalgam Filling in Central Leeds

Monday, March 18th, 2013

As the wheels of time turn and we learn more about what is going on around us, there is a tendency to throw away methods that have been around for decades and bring in the new. Dentistry in central Leeds is also constantly evolving and bringing in new things as well. However, scientific evidence can also be the reason for radical changes in dental techniques; the amalgam filling is exactly one such example of this. It has been used since, well forever and has been a great ally in the fight on tooth decay. This type of filling is tremendously strong and if the procedure is carried out correctly, an amalgam filling will long out-live you, yet it is getting some pretty bad press of late. The most obvious of issues that people have with it is that it is grey and this doesn’t exactly give off a natural look in the mouth when you smile as opposed to white, resin based fillings (although these are still yet to prove themselves in the longevity stakes). But it is what amalgam is made up from that has come to light: one of the ingredients in the filling is mercury- highly toxic and poisonous, which is why this type of filling is banned in some countries. It’s a hard call to make, but until we all start to live long into our hundreds, having an amalgam filling is still one of the best options to tackle tooth decay with.
