The visual effect of a stunning smile can easily be spoilt by just one tooth which doesn’t look right. Even if you take excellent care of your teeth, you can always have an accident which leaves one tooth chipped, cracked or even badly stained. You might then find that you don’t feel as proud of your smile as you should do. What to do about it?
An excellent option is to get your dentist to cover up the offending tooth with a porcelain dental veneer. These clever devices can fit seamlessly over an unsightly tooth and give you a sparkling smile that is great to look at. They can be fitted with incredible ease and look remarkably subtle and discreet.
Made from porcelain, these veneers can be incredibly thin and still stay adequately strong for the job of fronting a tooth. Indeed, some of these porcelain veneers have been nicknames ‘contact lenses for teeth’ because they are so thin. Porcelain won’t stain either so you won’t have to worry about your veneer becoming stained in the way that your teeth might.
You needn’t spend much time getting a veneer fitted either. The technology available in many United Kingdom dental surgeries allows dentists to fit porcelain veneers in just one, short morning or afternoon session and sometimes even shorter than that. If CEREC technology is used then, after a quick digital x-ray, a brand new porcelain veneer can be made, ready to fit on your tooth in less than ten minutes.
Take the time to ask your Leeds dentist about porcelain veneers and you might find that they are the answer to your questions about your smile.
No-one likes being afraid but there are some fears that impact on our lives far less than others. If you are afraid of going to the dentist then this can have not insignificant consequences for the health of your mouth. You should be going to the dentist every six months and without these check ups you might be leaving yourself open to excess plaque, tartar, gum disease and worse things like oral cancer.
Losing teeth does not have to be a permanent head ache anymore. With dentures as your replacement, even though the modern variants are very effective, you are still always conscious of the fact that your replacement teeth are not in fact permanent. But thanks to the continuing advances in dental science, you can now have a tooth or teeth replaced in a fashion that means they are, to all intents and purposes, permanent.
Having a healthy mouth makes you feel good about yourself. There is nothing worse than walking around in your day to day life knowing that your mouth is not as healthy as it could be and putting up with aching teeth and sore gums. The best person to speak to about your oral hygiene is your Leeds dentist because he or she is an expert in all matters concerning your mouth.
There is a way to visibly and tangible improve your looks in a convenient fashion, without it costing the earth. By recognising that the first thing that most people see is your smile, you can improve the way you look by enhancing your smile. As such you will be able to act with greater self confidence and see the benefits of improved social performance.
Although there are quite a number of newer products available from dental surgeries which can straighten teeth, the optimum solution for every single tooth alignment issue is to be fitted out with braces. Some of the newer products have shorter treatment times – often about a quarter of that of braces – and are far more discreet but most of them are unable to deal with multiple alignment problems as well as rotating teeth.
Letting the experts have a look at a problem is always advisable. If you’ve sprung a leak then you will get a plumber in and a wiring problem should be looked at by a trained electrician. Similarly, a dentist ought to have regular access to your mouth so that they are able to sort out any problems that might be occurring. Too many people neglect this vital part of taking care of their teeth and the consequences are sometimes rather unfortunate.
Many people of a certain generation will be aware of the way that cavities in teeth used to be filled up. Dentists had little option but to fill cavities using metal and the results were not often as one might desire. Dentists found the metal difficult to work with and the fillings could sometimes fail, especially in the long term. For patients the results were rather unsightly.
Everybody seems to be far busier and inevitably some things have to be sacrificed if we are to fit everything into our hectic schedules. It is a shame though when people put off having a procedure done in the dentist because they think they haven’t got time. It might be a piece of vital work or something that will improve the look of their smile. If you think that you haven’t got time to go to the dentist then you should be aware that many dental procedures are now quicker than ever thanks to CEREC techniques.
In spite of their undoubted effectiveness, the problem with the traditional metal brace is that it often needs the patient to wear it for about eighteen months or even two years. For some people that is just far too long and they have been waiting for a solution to their crooked teeth that can be carried out in less time. This product has arrived and is now available in Leeds dental surgeries.
