Looking for a Long-Term Solution to Missing Teeth?

Monday, May 16th, 2016

At City Dental we offer a range of tooth replacement treatments, including natural-looking dental implants.

Dental implants represent a long-term solution for lost teeth and they enable you to enjoy all the same benefits of a strong and healthy natural tooth.

All about dental implants

Dental implants are made from titanium and their purpose is to replace the root of a missing tooth. The implant sits in a socket in the jaw bone and is able to become part of the bone tissue thanks to a process called osseointegration.

Once the process is complete, a new restoration can be attached and this replaces the crown section of the tooth. One of the many benefits of dental implants is that they are compatible with a range of different restorations and this means they are suitable for most patients.

Implant treatment takes between three and nine months and the result is a natural looking, strong and functional new tooth or set of teeth.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants are the best long-term option for replacing missing teeth and they also offer many additional benefits, including excellent aesthetics, enhanced bite power and durability. Implants are easy to maintain and act like natural teeth, so you have complete peace of mind and can enjoy eating and socialising with confidence. Implants also help to reduce bone loss and they can be fitted to crowns, dentures or a dental bridge, making them hugely versatile.

Get Your Smile Back for the New Year with Dental Implants

Wednesday, December 16th, 2015

The best way to start a New Year is with a beaming, bright smile on your face and with our dental implants, we can ensure you start 2016 in style. Dental implants are designed to replace the root section of a missing tooth. Implants are a long-term solution for tooth loss and are a viable option for most patients with missing teeth.

Everything you need to know about dental implants

Dental implants are rods made from titanium. They are implanted into the jawbone to take on the role of the missing tooth root. Titanium is used because it is a bio-compatible material. This enables the implant to fuse into the actual bone tissue, providing optimum stability for the new tooth. The process of osseointegration can take up to 8 months and once this is complete, the head of the implant is attached to a dental bridge, crown or denture and the crown section, the visible part of the tooth, is replaced.

Implant treatment is suited to many people with missing teeth. As implants are compatible with a range of different types of restoration, they can be used to replace a single lost tooth or multiple teeth.

How could implants benefit me?

There are countless benefits of replacing missing teeth, from improved oral health and clearer speech, to improved ability to eat and the obvious aesthetic benefits of a healthy looking, beautiful smile. Implants are a long-term solution and represent a long-term investment.

With implants, you will feel and look like you have your natural teeth back and you can enjoy greater confidence when you smile, speak or eat in public.

If you like the sound of implant treatment and would like to find out more about this incredible innovation in Leeds, call us now!

Dental Implants Support for Patients in Leeds

Friday, November 20th, 2015

A dental implant is a root device (a metal rod typically made from titanium), that a specialised built in screw equipped to hold a false tooth or teeth in place. Once the jawbone has fused with the inserted implant, a crown, denture or bridge can be attached onto the screw. Like natural teeth, dental implants can help stimulate bone growth. Dental implants are particularly helpful in this case, as when a tooth is lost the resulting jaw bone loss can be a major problem.

Problems with missing teeth

As the jaw bone continues to shrink, dentures will be less likely to fit and the entire structure of the mouth can be irreversibly compromised. This results in very minimal support for removable dentures or crowns and can lead to other problems related to poorly fitted dentures.

How do dental implants work?

As mentioned before, dental implants are comprised of a titanium rod and it’s this titanium which makes an implant so well suited for helping growth. Titanium is the most bio-compatible metals of them all; not only is it strong and flexible, it has also been found to encourage bone growth and enhance the bone regeneration around the dental implant, preventing a valuable loss of bone structure.

However, different factors can affect the implant’s success in achieving bone growth. The bone density in the place where the implant is being fitted will affect how successful bone growth is around the implant and is in fact one of the most important factors. Maintaining good oral health also is a major factor in how well the regenerating bones respond to the titanium so it’s important that you keep up with brushing your teeth.

Dental Implants for the Replacement of Missing Teeth

Monday, September 28th, 2015

Dental implants are a perfect and permanent way to replace missing teeth without the difficulty often associated with dentures. As dentures are prone to slip and slide whilst eating or talking, especially on the lower jaw, dental implants are the best alternative, using titanium anchors to stabilise your dental restorative.

Dental implants make your dentures stable, more comfortable and easy to use, giving you a perfect smile and your confidence back.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

The main benefit of dental implants is that they can last a person a whole lifetime. Dental implants will replace any missing or damaged teeth and look just as real as the surrounding healthy teeth without damaging any of them. In fact they do the complete opposite, as dental implants can assist with preserving the adjacent bone and gum tissue, which is usually worn down with the use of traditional dentures.

What happens during the dental implant procedure?

The procedure for placing dental implants involves surgically placing implant titanium anchors into the jawbone of the patient. These anchors will then function like the natural root of the tooth and after a sufficient amount of time has passed the anchors will bond with the bone and gum tissue surrounding them. Studs are then attached to the anchors, so when the gum and bone has healed natural looking crowns, dentures or bridges can be attached to the studs to give you back that confidence-boosting smile.

Once this is done you continue living just the way you did with your original teeth and wont have to suffer the problems that come with dentures such as eating certain food, as these teeth are just as good as natural teeth.

Stunning Smiles in Just One Visit

Sunday, August 2nd, 2015

It’s understandable to assume that it takes time to transform a smile, but our team can create amazing new smiles in just one visit. One of our most impressive services is a life-changing same day teeth treatment known as All-on-4.

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 treatment is designed to offer rapid results for patients with entire arches of missing teeth. Usually, implant treatment takes several months, but with this system you can enjoy a brand new smile in just one day.

All-on-4 is different to traditional implant treatment because it uses just four implants to secure a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The alternative implant procedure requires between 6 and 10 implants. This treatment uses fewer implants because we place the implants so they take full advantage of the jaw’s densest bone tissue. Two implants sit at the front of the mouth, whilst the other two sit at the back. We place traditional implants at 90 degree angles, but the back All-on-4 implants sit at 45 degree angles for maximum anchorage.

Who is the ideal candidate for All-on-4 treatment?

All-on-4 is suitable for patients with large numbers of missing teeth who are looking for a swift alternative to traditional implants. We also recommend the treatment as a secure and functional alternative to dentures. All-on-4 resolves problems often raised by denture wearers. You can eat and smile with greater confidence and there’s no risk of irritation or the teeth slipping out of position.

To find out if All-on-4 if you’re a suitable candidate for All-on-4, call today to book a consultation. Our expert dentists will carry out the relevant tests and talk you through the procedure and highlight how it could benefit you.

Using CT Scanning Equipment to Treat Dental Patients

Sunday, March 8th, 2015

We pride ourselves on offering our patients treatment that uses the very latest technology here at City Dental Leeds, and we are thrilled to own an advanced CT scanner at the practice. This scanner provides effective and accurate care for patients in and beyond the city of Leeds.

What are CT scans?

CT (computerised tomography) scans are commonly used in medical practice and are increasingly gaining recognition in modern dentistry. The scanners create highly detailed images of the inside of the human body and are instrumental in the diagnosis, management and treatment of a number of health conditions.

Our CT scanner is used primarily for dental implant treatment. The images produced by the scanner allow us to accurately find the best implant placement sites and guide us during the implant fitting procedure.

Sometimes, we also use the scanner at the consultation stage to assess patient suitability for treatment. Using a CT scanner we can judge the strength and thickness of bone tissue and determine whether it can support an implant.

Additionally, we can use images from a CT scan to show patients how treatment works and what it entails. Being able to see detailed images allows us to give you a higher level of understanding about what goes on during the implant process.

Preparation for a CT scan

If you’re having a CT scan, we will explain what’s going to happen and answer all of your questions. The scan will not cause any discomfort, all you have to do is lie as still as you can for about 15 minutes. Before the scan commences, you will be asked to remove any jewellery, scarves and glasses. The images will be ready after the scan so that we can assess them and talk to you about the treatment process.

Why We Use Osteocare Dental Implants

Saturday, February 14th, 2015

Dental implants have revolutionised tooth replacement treatment and they offer a range of attractive benefits for people of all ages. At City Dental Leeds, we are proud to use Osteocare dental implants.

About Osteocare dental implants

Osteocare dental implants are made in Britain and they offer reliability, durability and efficacy. These implants have a very high success rate of between 90 and 95 per cent, they are compatible with a range of restorations and they are built to last. Osteocare implants can also be used as same-day treatments in around 75 per cent of cases, as they can be placed in a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require the creation of a gum flap. As the procedure is less invasive than other implant treatments, the cost of treatment is also lower, offering you a cost-effective solution for missing teeth.

What’s so good about dental implants?

It’s no understatement to say that dental implants have taken the world by storm and this is largely due to the fact that they offer such an extensive range of benefits to patients of any age. Implants are currently the closest match to a natural tooth on the market and they also last a lot longer than bridges and dentures.

Dental implants are small prostheses, which are made from titanium. They are placed inside sockets in the jaw bone to take on the role of the tooth root. Once they are settled, the implants can be connected to a bridge, denture or crown and the smile will look incredible.

As well as providing longevity, implants also boast natural aesthetics, ease of use and simple maintenance and they provide optimum stability ready for the new restoration, which replaces the tooth crown. You look after implants in the same way as you would natural teeth, so you don’t need to worry about learning new cleaning regimes. Implants can also help to reduce bone loss.

If you think dental implants would be the perfect solution for you, call now and book a consultation. Our expert dentists will be able to tell you more about the treatment, explain how it works and how it could benefit you and talk to you about other options open to you.

How Are Mini Dental Implants Different To Normal Dental Implants?

Sunday, February 1st, 2015

If you’re searching for an innovative means of replacing lost teeth and you long for a natural looking result, mini dental implants could be the ideal choice. Mini dental implants are a smaller version of traditional implants, a hugely popular tooth replacement treatment.

About mini dental implants

Mini dental implants, as you can probably guess from the name, are small dental implants, which are used to anchor new teeth. Like traditional implants, mini dental implants are designed to replace the lost tooth root.

Mini implants different to traditional implants in size, but they also require a less invasive procedure and this means that treatment time is also shorter in most cases. Mini implants are commonly recommended for people who may not be the best candidates for normal implant treatment due to a lack of bone density in the jaw bone; they are easier to tolerate than larger implants and can be connected to dentures to provide optimum stability.

Mini implants and dentures

Mini implants are commonly recommended for patients who have experienced difficulties with dentures in the past and those who are looking for an effective solution to replace lost teeth. Traditionally, dentures are held in place by the suction of the gums, but with implants, they can be secured much more firmly.

With implants, the new teeth are stabilised in the same way as natural teeth; the implants act as the root and there is no risk of the denture sliding or becoming loose. The stability of the denture also increases its power, so you can enjoy a wider range of foods and gain peace of mind when you eat. Implants also create natural looking results, so you can feel confident when you smile.

If you’d like to find out if mini implants are for you or you’d like to book a consultation, call now or fill in the quick and simple enquiry form on our website.
