Here are three incredible ways we can give you a radiant smile in perfect time to enjoy those hazy summer days.

  1. Tooth whitening: tooth whitening is a very popular cosmetic dental treatment, which enables us to lighten the shade of the teeth significantly to give you a dazzling, healthier looking smile. We offer convenient home whitening treatment, which can fit into your schedule easily. You don’t even need to leave the comfort of the sofa to enjoy the results. Home whitening is really simple. All you have to do is wear a pair of customised whitening trays for around 6 hours per day for 10-14 consecutive days. Your trays will be comfortable, and you can wear them whenever is convenient for you.
  2. Veneers: veneers are famed for creating stunning smiles and if you want a dream smile for summer, they could be the ideal solution for you. If you have stained, chipped, uneven or misshapen teeth, we can use veneers to transform your smile. After your consultation, we will plan your treatment and in just 2-3 weeks, you could be showing off your incredible new summer smile.
  3. Hygiene treatments: have you ever noticed how much brighter and cleaner your teeth look after a trip to the dentist? When you have a check-up, your dentist will give your teeth a quick polish, but if you’re desperate for even better results, you can book a session with one of our talented, friendly hygienists. Our hygienists offer intensive cleaning treatments, which will remove surface stains and give your smile a gorgeous, healthy summer glow.

If you’re dreaming of a sparkling smile for summer, call us now to make an appointment.

Componeers were developed in Switzerland, and there are various options available. You can work with your dentist to select the size and shape of shells you want to design your perfect smile.

What does treatment involve?

Componeer treatment is much faster and simpler than traditional veneer treatment. The shells are incredibly light and fine, and this means that minimal preparation is required. These veneers can be placed directly onto the tooth surface, enabling you to enjoy a brand new smile almost instantaneously. Your dentist will place the Componeers on top of your natural teeth, and then check the aesthetic. If you are happy, they will then fix the Componeers in place, and you can start enjoying the results. The process is painless, and you can really can enjoy a brand new smile in an instant.

The Rise of Cosmetic Dentistry

Friday, October 28th, 2016

White smileMany people are deciding that their dental health needs improving. This could be choosing to have a filling they were unsure of having due to one reason or the other, or finally booking an appointment with their dentist which they were avoiding from going to. But lots of people have also decided to improve the way their teeth look.

Cosmetic dentistry and its many forms

Our teeth were born natural white and looked unbelievably healthy in our school photos. However, whether this is thanks to drinking coffee or consuming tobacco products, they change colour and develop a yellowish tinge, which is not to everyone’s liking. With teeth whitening products that have instantaneous results, this very popular dental treatment is increasing in popularity all the time.

The other types of cosmetic dentistry

As well as teeth whitening, there are also veneers. Applied to the front of a person’s tooth using very strong glue, they make the tooth look white, unlike its previous colour. If one tooth is discoloured, this can help change the colour of this singular tooth.

Unlike their silver versions, white fillings blend in with the natural colour of the tooth, which can make any filling present in the tooth literally invisible. Silver fillings are prone to staining surrounding teeth but white fillings do not do this and leaves the tooth looking as natural as possible.

One more to consider

Just like white fillings when compared to silver fillings, Invisalign offer a person the chance to have braces without the metallic “train track” brace, which is very noticeable and might affect a person’s confidence. Invisalign technology uses clear aligners to straighten the teeth which allows for the confidence of the person to improve, as they won’t be self-conscious of having a metallic brace attached to the front of their teeth.

Weak Teeth Made Strong!

Friday, August 12th, 2016

18625044Tooth enamel is the strongest substance in the body, but it’s not completely invincible and the teeth can be damaged and broken. If you have an injury, are involved in an accident or have a decayed tooth, we can provide treatment to repair, protect and strengthen your teeth. Our dental crowns are built for style and strength and they will help to reduce the risk of further damage in the future.

About dental crowns

Dental crowns are restorations commonly used when a tooth is broken or damaged through injury or weakened by decay. If the cavity is too large for a filling or the tooth is fractured, it is beneficial to crown it to protect it, make it stronger and decrease the risk of more damage in the future.

Crowning a tooth involves placing a crown over the top of the tooth. For this reason, crowns are sometimes known as caps. With a crown in place, you can enjoy better function, especially when you chew or bite down on food, and a reduced risk of infection caused by decay spreading through the tooth.

Crowns can be made from various different materials and we often recommend ceramic crowns, as they match the shade of the tooth for a seamless look.

The procedure

Treatment involves two sessions. During the first appointment, we will prepare your tooth to remove the decayed tissue and shape it in preparation for the crown. We will then use dental putty to create an impression of the tooth and this will be sent off and used as a template by our highly trained dental technicians. When the new crown is ready, we will place it and secure it using strong dental adhesive.

Crowns are hard-wearing and they should last for around 10 years, provided that they are cared for well.

The Rise of Cosmetic Dental Treatments

Saturday, October 31st, 2015

18625010Some may argue that media portrayal of celebrities who have had cosmetic dentistry treatments such as porcelain veneers, promotes the rise in cosmetic dentistry. However, others may attribute the advancement of cosmetic dental care to innovations in cosmetic dentistry, such as CEREC technology, accessible financing or dental insurance plans, and an increase in the public’s health consciousness.

More individuals are becoming aware of the importance of a healthy, attractive appearance. Smile makeovers give impact for improving life opportunities by making us look refreshed and younger.

Veneers and whitening treatments

Smile makeovers gained popularity via the stars, however dentists such as those at City Dental Leeds aim to make cosmetic dental treatments available for everyone who wants to change their appearance. There are options in smile makeovers that include not only porcelain veneers, but invisible braces and facial rejuvenation treatments as well.

A smile makeover is any cosmetic dentistry treatment that aims to enhance natural beauty for a radiant and attractive smile. Porcelain veneers are a popular choice for masking tooth discolouration as an alternate to teeth whitening. Personalised smile designs with porcelain veneers may be used to give straightness to mildly misaligned teeth instead of wearing braces.

Braces treatment

Certain smile makeover treatments may be combined. For example, teeth may be straightened with invisible braces such as Invisalign, and whitened through power teeth whitening techniques.

Get in touch with us to learn about our options in cosmetic dental treatments and how we involve you in designing your own smile. We listen to your needs, provide personalised recommendations and financing options for having the smile you desire. Smile makeovers create stunning appearance and boost self-esteem for enjoyment of life.

Cosmetic Dentistry Produces Amazing Results

Monday, October 12th, 2015

18625010Solve all your teeth problems with cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a wide range of practices designed to improve the look of your smile and the function of your mouth.  Having a smile with which you can feel confident and proud is just as important as having a fully functioning set of teeth and a healthy mouth.  These two things are often interlinked and cosmetic dentistry can ensure that both are fully realised.

There are many reasons why you might feel that you require some cosmetic dentistry work.  If you have lost a tooth or teeth then you might with to have some porcelain crowns installed by your dentist.  These lightweight, durable and realistic replacement teeth can be treated just like your normal teeth, giving you back functionality and an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Cosmetic dentistry also encompasses processes such as teeth whitening.  It is highly likely that your teeth will be subject to some degree of staining in your lifetime or at the very least their natural colour will fade.  Dentists can offer treatments or at-home packages for you to administer yourself.

Some of these techniques can be offered in conjunction with one another, giving patients the chance to have a ‘smile makeover’ if they are faced with multiple issues to do with their oral health and appearance.  Technological advances have made some of these processes incredibly fast but without the increases in price which one might expect.

For example, CEREC techniques allow dentists to take digital, 3D images of teeth and send them to an online milling machine.  This machine constructs porcelain veneers and crowns in just over five minutes, ready to be fitted by your dentist.
