Watch Your Imperfections Vanish with Veneers

Thursday, December 24th, 2015

529808_blogIf you’re conscious about smiling in public or dental imperfections are getting you down, we have a magical treatment that can make those flaws vanish for good. Our beautiful veneers can transform even the most run-down and discoloured teeth into a spectacular sparkling smile.

What exactly are veneers and could they be the solution for me?

Veneers are very fine sheets of laminated porcelain shaped to fit your teeth. They are placed onto the tooth surface to produce a beautiful new smile. Veneers are custom-designed for a perfect fit and you can choose specific shades and shapes to create your dream smile.

We can use veneers to address lots of different common aesthetic imperfections, including:

  • discoloured and stained teeth
  • chipped and worn teeth
  • spaces between the teeth
  • unevenly shaped teeth

If you have minor imperfections or you would simply love to have a flawless white smile, veneers could be an excellent option for you.

What does treatment involve?

Typically, treatment involves 2-3 sessions. Before your veneers can be created, we make moulds of your teeth and prepare the tooth surfaces to create room for the veneers. The mould is sent away to the dental laboratory and when your bespoke veneers are ready, they will be sent back to us. We then place your veneers and secure them firmly once you are happy with the end result. Veneers should last for many years. If a veneer becomes broken or damaged, we are able to carry out repairs or create replacements.

If you think veneers could make your dental dreams come true, why not call us now? Your new smile could be just around the corner!

Treat Yourself to a Hollywood Smile!

Tuesday, October 27th, 2015

3492515_blogCelebrities are well known for their sparkly teeth. In fact, it’s getting harder and harder to spot a celebrity who doesn’t have a perfect set of teeth these days. Why? Because there are so many treatments available nowadays to enhance, correct and perfect a person’s teeth, not only for oral health reasons but for aesthetic reasons too. Treatments include teeth whitening procedures, laser gum sculpting, invisible braces and much more, but we’re going to look at veneers in particular.

Veneer treatment for that Hollywood smile

A veneer is a wafer thin almost shield like covering made from composite or porcelain. As with other composite materials, a composite veneer can be colour matched using a shade guide to fit in with the rest of the teeth so that you end up with your desired shade.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are stronger and much more durable and therefore last longer than the composite veneers. Because they need replacing less, this means they could end up saving you money in the long run, despite costing more. Porcelain veneers last between 5-10 years compared to the drastically shorter 1-2 year life span of the composites. It is important to note that not all dentists specialise in cosmetic dentistry so find a practice where cosmetic dentistry is the main forte. We offer porcelain veneers at City Dental Leeds so do contact us for more information.

Why Leeds leans towards Veneers for help

Friday, January 31st, 2014

386703_blogIt’s a sad fact of life but the sheen of your teeth won’t last you forever in Leeds: they may become discoloured and generally become beaten-up; they may even become cracked and chipped and the gums may well begin to recede with the passage of time. However, you can do something great about it and you should take a look at veneers. These will fall into two major types; composite and resin. Composite are generally made from some form of porcelain- a material that compliments the natural hue that the enamel of your teeth give off. It involves having small and delicate fittings made up from moulds or digital images and when they are ready to rock, they are simply cemented into place- making them very strong, hiding up all of your problems and will last you a long time if cared for; as long as they don’t become cracked. Resin based veneers don’t have long a shelf life as composite but they are much more versatile: resin based, various layers are laid over the surfaces of your teeth until everything is covered up and then they are sculptured and polished. Both of these types of veneer can be colour coded if only a few teeth need working on so that they will fit in with the general ambience of your mouth; in either technique, your teeth will look young and sensational once more.

However, it’s not necessarily the end game if you are prepared to take a trip down cosmetic dentistry lane in Leeds. Yes your teeth will show signs of wear and tear over the years- cracks will develop, they may look worn down and the gums may recede but all this can be rectified in a couple of weeks if you have dental veneers fitted- these beauties can turn back the clock. All you have to do is get your dentist to prep your teeth and have a few moulds taken so that your fittings can be made up in a lab somewhere and when they are done and returned, they will be cemented into place and you will look stunning. And let’s not underestimate the rejuvenation and confidence that having veneers fitted can do that soul of yours.
