Throw Away Loose Dentures and Say Hello to Implants!

Friday, September 16th, 2016

3177025_blogDentures have served people well for decades, but they are not always completely trouble-free and if you’ve had issues with dentures and are looking for an alternative, we may have just the treatment you’ve been searching for. Dental implants are becoming increasingly popular and they offer a long-term solution for tooth loss and a remedy for many of the problems commonly experienced by denture wearers.

Everything you need to know about dental implants

Dental implants are revolutionary dental treatment that is fast becoming the treatment of choice for patients who have lost a single tooth or multiple teeth. Implants are made from titanium and they look similar to a small screw. They are implanted into the jaw bone as a means of replacing the root of the missing tooth. Titanium is used because it is strong and it is also biocompatible, which allows the tooth to integrate into the bone. This means that the new root can provide the same level of stability as a natural root.

Once the tooth root has been replaced, we can then set about replacing the visible part of the tooth. Implants are compatible with dentures, dental bridges and single crowns, so we can use them to replace single teeth or multiple teeth. Once the new restoration has been attached, your new smile will be complete and you can enjoy the same aesthetics and level of functionality as you had before with your natural teeth.

How long does implant treatment take?

Usually, implant treatment takes a few months, as it takes time for the implants to integrate. However, we are able to offer All-on-4 treatment, which is a same-day treatment suitable for patients who require a large number of new teeth. Call us now to arrange a consultation and discuss options with our friendly and experienced dentists.

Dental Implants Support for Patients in Leeds

Friday, November 20th, 2015

2433646_sA 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.

Why We Use Osteocare Dental Implants

Saturday, February 14th, 2015

2433646_sDental 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.

City Dental Leeds: Why Choose Natural Looking Dental Implants?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

2797271_blogIf you have a missing tooth or a number of missing teeth, this can affect much more than the look of your smile. Missing teeth increase the risk of oral health problems, as well as denting your confidence and making it difficult for you to eat certain foods. Thankfully, there are many treatments out there, which can help to restore full function and give you a smile worth showing off. One of our most impressive treatments is dental implants.

Dental implants are small screw-like appliances, which are made from titanium. They are inserted into the jaw bone to act as a replacement for the root part of the missing tooth. Like a tooth root, the implant supports the visible crown section of the tooth, which is replaced by a dental crown, a denture or a dental bridge. As titanium is biocompatible, it is able to integrate into the bone, providing amazing levels of stability.

One of the best things about dental implants is the aesthetics; once the restoration has been attached, the smile will look amazingly natural and you won’t be able to tell that your new tooth or teeth are different to your natural teeth. This treatment is also a long-term solution for missing teeth and it has additional benefits, including enhanced oral function, better facial aesthetics and reduced bone loss.

If you have missing teeth, this can be distressing, but we can help! Our dental implants create beautiful smiles and will enable you to speak, eat and smile with confidence in the future.
