A White Smile for a White Wedding

Monday, May 2nd, 2016

wedding smileEvery bride wants to look their best on their wedding day. Months are spent planning to make sure that the dress fits, the hair and make-up looks perfect and that a professional photographer will be on hand to capture the memories the couple and their family will treasure for the rest of their lives.

But those photographs will not look quite so impressive if the bride or groom’s smile is less than dazzling. This is why couples are now choosing to undergo cosmetic dentistry ahead of their big day, in order to get the perfect white smile for their wedding.

Treatment from London dentists can range from procedures that have to be planned a few weeks or months in advance, such as orthodontic braces to fix crooked or gappy smiles, to those that can be booked just a few days before the ceremony. The latest teeth whitening treatments use lasers to have an immediate impact on the colour of your teeth and are the perfect quick fix, especially if you thought of cosmetic dentistry at the last minute.

Many patients expect orthodontic work to take years to fix their teeth, but there are modern brands, such as the Invisalign Lite plastic aligners and Social 6 lingual braces, which are designed especially to work quickly on just the front teeth, the ones that are most likely to be seen in the wedding photographs.

If you are too late even for these rapid options and are worried that your crooked or missing teeth are going to stick out in the wedding snaps, there is still hope. Porcelain veneers can be fitted over your natural teeth in just a couple of appointments – one to take measurements and one to attach the thin veneers, masking any problems with your smile and creating a perfect one for the perfect wedding day.

Thursday, February 18th, 2016

2603730_blogIf the wintry weather is getting you down and you’re looking forward to brighter, lighter spring days, why not banish those blues with a beautiful new smile? With our simple and convenient home whitening treatment, you could have a stunning white smile in perfect time for spring.

About home whitening

Home whitening is a simple, safe and effective way of transforming your smile. This straightforward and convenient process can be tailored to fit around your day to day commitments and in just a couple of weeks your smile will look amazing. There’s no stress or hassle involved and you won’t feel a thing during treatment.

Before you start your treatment, we’ll talk to you about what’s involved and have a look at your teeth. We then make an impression of your teeth to be used to create your bespoke whitening trays. These are appliances that look similar to mouth guards and filled with whitening agent. When your trays are ready, you take them home and your treatment can begin.

Home whitening simply involves wearing your trays for around six hours per day for 14 consecutive days. You can wear your trays at any time to fit in with your daily schedule. After treatment, you should find that your teeth look noticeably whiter and brighter. The results will last for some time, but it is possible to top up treatment to give your smile a boost if you fancy injecting a little extra sparkle.

How to Get a More Elegant Smile

Wednesday, July 29th, 2015

4244118_blogIf you’re eager to channel the Duchess of Cambridge this summer, we can recommend a host of treatments to give you a stunning, elegant smile. In recent years, the ultra-bright Hollywood style smile has given way to a more subtle, natural and understated look in the popularity charts and we have the perfect treatments to recreate this look.

Cosmetic treatments for an elegant smile

We have an extensive collection of cosmetic treatments on offer, which are capable of creating beautifully natural smiles as well as a more glamorous look. The beauty of cosmetic treatment is its versatility and we can tailor every treatment plan to suit the individual. Some clients come to us looking for all-out A-list glamour, while others are desperate to achieve that radiant, natural look.

Our treatment options include tooth whitening, porcelain crowns, white fillings, cosmetic braces, composite bonding and veneers.

Teeth whitening

We offer both home whitening and Enlighten professional treatment, both of which produce incredible results without any hassle. The results of whitening treatment should last for many months, even years in the case of Enlighten.

Porcelain crowns

Porcelain crowns are used to strengthen and stabilise damaged and decayed teeth with minimal impact on the aesthetic of the smile. They are placed over the top of the tooth and they help to reduce the risk of further injury and infection. Crowns should last up to five years.

White fillings

White fillings are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to mercury amalgam fillings. They are used to treat cavities and help to protect the tooth and improve its function. We offer new fillings and replacement white fillings for old metal fillings.

Cosmetic braces

Cosmetic braces are discreet, aesthetically pleasing orthodontic solutions that remedy issues such as crowding and gaps between the teeth with minimal hassle. Examples include the Inman Aligner, Six Month Smiles and STb Social 6 lingual braces.

Composite bonding

Composite bonding is an excellent solution for chipped and worn edges, gaps between the teeth and misshapen teeth. Treatment takes just an hour and it is very simple. Your dentist will craft and mould the putty-like composite into shape to carry out the relevant repairs and then set the composite to make it hard.

Veneers

Veneers are often associated with incredibly glamorous smiles, but they can also be used to create a much more understated aesthetic. Veneers are very thin sheets of ceramic shaped to fit onto your natural teeth. They create flawless, beautiful smiles.

Caring For Your Teeth After Whitening Treatment

Saturday, July 4th, 2015

18625010The last thing you want after whitening treatment is to develop discolouration that takes the sparkle away from your smile. If you’ve recently had your teeth whitened and you’re looking for simple ways to restore the whiteness and ensure your smile glows for many months to come, here are some helpful tips:

Focus on oral hygiene

Good oral hygiene is the best way to keep your smile looking great, as well as preventing dental disease. Brushing not only removes harmful bacteria and food debris before they can combine to form plaque, it also polishes your teeth, giving them a beautiful glossy sheen and helping to prevent surface staining. When you are brushing, take care to cover all four corners of your mouth and angle the brush head so that you can reach the inner and outer surfaces. Set a timer or invest in a brush that has an in-built timer to make sure you brush for the recommended two minutes.

Keep an eye on your diet

Some foods contain staining agents and colourants that discolour the teeth. Examples include red and white wine, coffee, tea, blackcurrants, fizzy drinks and blueberries. If you’re a fan of any of these products and you can’t bear to give them up, ensure that you rinse your mouth out with water after eating and try to use a straw when drinking.

Avoid smoking

Smoking is one of the leading causes of staining, so if you can avoid smoking and quit, this will really benefit the aesthetic of your smile as well as contributing to amazing health benefits. Our dental team will be happy to help if you decide that you would like to try and give up smoking.

See your dentist

Seeing your dentist is essential for good oral health, but it also helps to keep your teeth looking bright and healthy. When you have a dental check-up, your dentist will check your oral health and have a good look at your teeth and gums. We also recommend dental hygiene sessions.

Dazzle This December With A Stunning White Smile

Monday, December 8th, 2014

3943593_blogOne of our most popular cosmetic treatments at this time of the year is tooth whitening. According to recent studies, at least 95% of the population long for whiter teeth, so if you are one of those looking for a brighter smile then look no further as at City Dental Leeds we have the perfect treatment for you!

Is the procedure safe?

Yes. Here at City Dental Leeds your wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us and we offer our patients the best products on the market in terms of both results and safety. The whitening gel we use contains carbamide peroxide as the primary lightening ingredient and is used by practices worldwide.

How does teeth whitening work?

We begin the procedure by taking an impression of your teeth so that we can create custom-made trays for the bleaching process. A whitening gel is then inserted into your trays which you fit onto your teeth to begin the brightening. Oxygen enters the enamel and dentine of your teeth as the gel breaks down, whitening your teeth by bleaching out stains and discolouration. This process does not alter the structure of your teeth at all, it simply whitens them.

Fast and easy

Results are almost instant, becoming visible in just one night for most patients, however to achieve optimum whiteness we also recommend using home kits for 14 days.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare, but a small percentage of patients could experience increased heat and cold sensitivity. However, this is only temporary and usually disappears within 48 hours of having your teeth whitened.

Do the results last forever?

The results can be permanent but the duration of the whitening depends largely on how you take care of your teeth. Good oral hygiene, particularly following staining foods or drinks could ensure that your results last for years.

Our teeth whitening is from £345 and includes a free scale and polish with a hygienist.
