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.

All-on-4 is not just a speedy treatment. It also offers an array of other benefits. Implants offer incredible levels of stability for the new arch of teeth and this increases comfort and functionality.

Get Your Smile Back for the New Year with Dental Implants

Wednesday, December 16th, 2015

2433646_sThe 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

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.

Dental Implants for the Replacement of Missing Teeth

Monday, September 28th, 2015

iStock_000001998629XSmallDental 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.

For more information please call City Dental Leeds.

Bridging Gaps with Extraordinary Dentistry

Tuesday, August 18th, 2015

Beautiful young lady smilingGaps in the smile can be problematic for all kinds of reasons, but fortunately we have some excellent replacement options for those who have lost single or multiple teeth. If you’ve lost teeth through injury, trauma or decay or are struggling with dentures and looking for an effective alternative, a dental bridge could be the ideal solution.

About dental bridges

Dental bridges are a type of prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. They are so-called because they bridge the gap between two teeth. A traditional fixed bridge is the most commonly used type of bridge. It consists of a bar of crowns with a false tooth fused to a crown on either side. The idea is to seamlessly replace the missing tooth to create a beautiful, healthy looking smile and improve oral health and restore full function to the mouth.

Bridges usually last for up to 15 years and can be made from different materials such as ceramics, which produce incredibly natural looking aesthetics.

We usually complete bridgework in two separate appointments. The first stage of treatment is planning. We create an impression of your tooth using dental putty and then send it to the laboratory where your new bridge will be made by skilled dental technicians. Once the bridge is ready, we will schedule the second appointment to fit it. You can then start enjoying your beautiful new smile.

What are the alternatives?

Bridges are commonly used for single tooth replacement, but dental implants are more versatile, as they can be used to replace multiple missing teeth. Another option for patients with missing teeth is a denture. Dentures are sets of prosthetic teeth held in place by the gums. If you are considering tooth replacement treatment, our dentists will be happy to go through the different treatments with you and help you decide which option is best for you.

Stunning Smiles in Just One Visit

Sunday, August 2nd, 2015

3177025_blogIt’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.

There Are So Many Ways To Fix Gaps In The Smile

Friday, July 17th, 2015

2433646_sIf you’ve lost a tooth, have a number of missing teeth or are looking for a new solution for gaps in your smile, now is the time to call City Dental Leeds and find out about our fabulous tooth replacement treatments. Whether you have a single missing tooth or a smile full of gaps, we can help. We’ll have you showing off a beautiful smile and feeling confident in no time!

What are my options?

There are various options available for gaps in the smile, including:

  • Dental implants: dental implants are suited to a wide range of patients, as they can be used to replace single and multiple missing teeth. Implants are small titanium devices designed to replace the tooth root. They are secured into sockets in the jaw bone and left to integrate into the tissue before being attached to a new restoration, which replaces the crown. Implants can be joined with crowns, dental bridges or dentures. Implants last for many years and they are the closest match to natural teeth. We also offer All-on-4 implants, which are a same-day treatment used to replace a full arch of missing teeth.
  • Dental bridges: bridges present an affordable, hassle-free and hard-wearing replacement for lost natural teeth. Bridges can be fitted in just two sessions and we are able to use a range of materials, including metals and ceramics. A traditional fixed bridge, the most common type of bridge, is made from a bank of crowns that seamlessly bridges the gap between the natural teeth. Bridges should last around 10-15 years.
  • Dentures: dentures are prosthetic teeth that can be used to replace multiple missing teeth and full arches of lost teeth. Partial dentures are designed to blend in with the natural teeth, while complete dentures replace a whole arch. Modern dentures are light, streamlined and very lifelike and enable you to enjoy a confident, attractive smile, improved facial aesthetics, clear speech and the ability to eat properly. All our dentures are custom-designed using the best quality materials for durability and a perfect fit.

How to Overcome Tooth Loss with Dental Treatment

Tuesday, April 28th, 2015

386703_blogTooth loss can be distressing, no matter what age you are. Thankfully, at City Dental Leeds, we have some amazing tooth replacement treatments on offer.

What are the benefits of replacing missing teeth?

There are lots of benefits of replacing missing teeth. Gaps in the teeth make the smile look unhealthy and unattractive, affecting your confidence and self-esteem. They also increase the risk of oral disease. Missing teeth can also make it more difficult to eat and pronounce certain sounds, so may have a negative impact on speech.

By replacing missing teeth, we can restore the beauty of the smile, enhance your self-esteem and enable you to eat and speak with confidence.

Tooth replacement options

We have a number of options to suit our patients’ varying needs. Whether you have lost a single tooth in an accident or you need to replace a full arch of teeth, we can find the right solution for you. Our treatments include dentures, dental bridges and dental implants.

Dentures: dentures are sets of false teeth, and are ideally suited to those with multiple missing teeth. They are custom-made for a comfortable fit and they are an affordable, simple solution for tooth loss. With modern dentures, you can enjoy all the benefits of a healthy, strong smile.

Dental bridges: bridges are an ideal choice for replacing a single lost tooth. The process usually involves only two sessions and the procedure to fit the bridge is painless and quick. Bridges are custom-made to fit the gap perfectly and they can be made from ceramics to create a very natural look. Bridges last up to 15 years and the most common type is a traditional fixed bridge. This consists of a false tooth attached to a crown on both sides.

Dental implants: implants are the closest prosthesis to a natural tooth and their purpose is to act as a replacement tooth root. They are implanted into the tooth root and they act as an anchor for new crowns, bridges or dentures. With implants, you can enjoy amazing aesthetics, longevity and very high standards of functionality.

Magnificent Mini Implants

Sunday, April 5th, 2015

iStock_000001998629XSmallAt City Dental Leeds, we’re delighted to offer a range of terrific tooth replacement treatments including magnificent mini implants. As you may have guessed, these are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. If you’re looking for an effective, long-term solution for lost teeth or troublesome dentures, these innovative devices could be just the ticket.

What exactly are mini dental implants?

Mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. These light, titanium prostheses are inserted into openings in the jaw bone to replace the missing tooth root. Once they have settled into the bone tissue, implants can then be connected to a new restoration that replaces the visible section of the tooth (the crown). Traditional dental implants require strong, dense bone tissue to enable them to integrate fully. If you lack density in your jaw bone and are unable to tolerate a traditional implant, mini implants may be the way forward.

Mini implants are commonly attached to dentures to provide a stable, long-term solution for patients who have multiple missing teeth. Mini implants are easier to tolerate than traditional implants and the procedure is quicker and less invasive.

How are mini implants fitted?

We usually fit mini dental implants under local anaesthetic or light sedation. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves a very advanced surgical technique. The head of the implant is left exposed and this is attached to the new restoration.

The benefits of mini implants for denture wearers

Dentures have been an effective replacement for missing natural teeth for many years. However, they can be problematic. Mini implants offer an extremely stable base for dentures, giving the patient the opportunity to enjoy enhanced oral function, amazing aesthetics and the peace of mind that their denture will never come loose. Implants also offer much greater stability than the suction of the gums and this means that the denture has a much more comfortable fit.

If you like the sound of mini implants, why not pop in and see us or call and book an appointment?
