Is 6 Month Smiles the best solution for you in LS1?

Saturday, February 15th, 2014

3492515_blogWith so much choice for orthodontic patients in Leeds today, how can you be sure which treatment suits you best? If you are researching orthodontic treatment or you’ve been thinking of having braces for a while, you may be pleasantly surprised by the choices available to you, but this can make it difficult to decide which one to go for. One of our most popular and exciting treatments is Six Month Smiles; a fixed brace treatment, which caters for people who have minor or moderate issues with the social 6, the set of teeth at the front of the mouth, which is visible when you smile. The beauty of this treatment is the speed. Normally, fixed braces take at least a year to straighten the teeth, but this treatment produces results in half the time, making it a great alternative to traditional fixed braces for those who don’t require intensive treatment and patients who are desperate for quick results. Another major advantage of these braces is that they are much more discreet than conventional braces, as the brackets are clear and the wires are designed to blend in with the colour of the natural teeth. The technology behind the braces not only speeds up the treatment process, but it also helps to prevent friction and enables you to enjoy comfortable, discreet treatment. If you have minor crowding or slightly crooked front teeth and you are searching for a treatment that works quickly and offers comfort and better aesthetics than traditional fixed braces, Six Month Smiles may be the perfect match for you.

Painless Root Canal treatment in Central Leeds

Friday, February 14th, 2014

658156_blogDo the words ‘root canal’ fill you with fear? If so, you’re not alone. Most people experience some level of anxiety when faced with dental treatment and a root canal treatment seems to be a particularly terrifying prospect. Root canal treatment is a common treatment, which is used to treat infected and decayed teeth. In many cases, it is used when the only other alternative would be to extract the tooth, so in other words, this is a therapy, which can save the day if you’re dreading losing a tooth. The aim of treatment is to remove the decayed tissue from the tooth and strengthen the tooth so that it is able to function normally in the future. Root canal treatment has a bad reputation, but it is actually a very important and relatively straightforward procedure and the tooth is completely numbed, so you shouldn’t feel any pain at all. The first stage of treatment is designed to remove decayed tissue from the root canals, to do this, your dentist will drill into the tooth. Once all the decayed tissue has been taken out, your dentist will clean the root canals and then fill them with dental material to prevent the infection from spreading. After treatment, it is common to place a new crown to make the tooth stronger; this will also have aesthetic benefits for the tooth. Any dental procedure may be daunting, especially for those who suffer from dental anxiety. However, we use the latest techniques to reduce pain and ensure you feel comfortable and confident when you have treatment in the city of Leeds.

Oral hygiene tips to make your smile glow!

Thursday, February 13th, 2014

357249_blogMany people assume that they need to see a dentist for professional whitening treatment to achieve a glowing smile, but you can actually make a massive difference to the look of your teeth by maintaining good oral hygiene and steering clear of things that discolour your teeth. Oral hygiene is really important for your oral health, but is also has a bearing on the aesthetic of your teeth. Regular cleaning helps to keep the enamel strong and gives your teeth a radiant, smooth finish, if the enamel becomes worn, the dentin becomes visible and this is yellow in colour. Your diet can also have an influence on the colour and strength of your teeth. Foods which are strongly coloured, such as coffee and red wine, can contribute to discolouration, as can acidic drinks, such as white wine. Acidic foods and drinks erode the enamel, causing it to become thinner. When brushing, take care to cover all areas of your mouth and devote equal time to each corner of the mouth; try to angle your brush so that you are able to cover the gum line, as well as the chewing and biting surfaces of the teeth and avoid brushing too hard, as this can damage the enamel. In addition to brushing, it’s important to floss, as this helps you to clean between the teeth. You can also ask your dentist about using inter-dental brushes, which are tiny brushes, specifically designed to clean the cracks between the teeth. If after heeding all this advice, you still want to inject a bit of extra sparkle into your smile, whitening could be the answer.

A new smile in a day? Is this really possible in the city of Leeds?

Tuesday, February 11th, 2014

1528196_blogIf somebody told you they could transform your smile in just one day, you would probably think they were selling an impossible dream, but the reality is that we can do just that, here in the heart of Leeds! Thanks to the amazing All-on-4 same-day teeth system, we can transform your smile and improve your quality of life no-end. All-on-4 is a dental implant treatment, which uses four dental implants to anchor a new set of teeth; usually, it takes at least 6 implants to support a full arch of new teeth, but this treatment makes uses of the dense bone tissue at the front of the mouth to provide optimum support; the dental implants are also placed at different angles to traditional implants, with the back two implants positioned at 45 degree angles, rather than a 90 degree angle. Traditionally, implant treatment takes several weeks; however, with this treatment, the new teeth can be fitted on the same day as the implants, so you really can start enjoying all the benefits of treatment straight away. All-on-4 is an innovative system, which provides solutions for patients who have a large number of missing teeth, as well as those who have experienced issues with dentures. The new teeth are anchored by implants, rather than the suction of the gums, there is no risk of irritation or slipping and the bite power of the teeth is much greater, enabling you to eat all the foods you like, rather than just those that are kind to your dentures.

Lingual braces for a truly invisible treatment in Central Leeds

Monday, February 10th, 2014

529808_blogAsk people who are considering having braces about the problems that may potentially put them off having treatment and most will probably say that they don’t want to wear visible braces that alter their appearance and may affect their confidence. Thankfully, we have an amazing solution for those who are searching for an orthodontic treatment. Lingual braces are ideal for those looking to improve the aesthetic of their smile without changing their image during the process. These braces enable you to have treatment without anyone being able to see the brace, which means that you don’t need to worry about feeling self-conscious when you go out or meet new people. Lingual braces represent a really exciting alternative to traditional braces; rather than being attached to the front of the teeth in the normal way, these braces are fixed to the lingual side of the teeth (the back). Each bracket is fixed individually and then the wire is passed through. As the braces are on the back of the teeth, they are completely invisible when you smile. One of the most popular lingual brace treatments in the centre of Leeds is STb Social 6, a system, which is designed for those with minor orthodontic needs. These braces use advanced technology and design to move the teeth quickly, whilst also minimising friction for enhanced comfort. Typically, treatment time is around 6-16 weeks, so you can get the smile of your dreams quickly and discreetly; what are you waiting for?

Dental implants in the centre of Leeds

Sunday, February 9th, 2014

2607696_blogLosing a tooth can be really distressing, especially if it is a front tooth. Missing teeth have an obvious impact on the look of the smile, but they can also contribute to issues related to your oral health, confidence and the way you carry out day to day activities, such as chewing your food. Thankfully, there are some really impressive tooth replacement treatments available now, including dental implants. Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth available at the moment; they are designed to replace the root of the missing tooth and are made to integrate fully into the actual jaw tissue, so that they can perform all the functions of a natural tooth. Implants are a life-changing treatment for patients of all ages, from those who have a single missing tooth as a result of an injury or accident, to those who have a large number of missing teeth. Once the implant has healed, it is then attached to a restoration; there are various options on offer to cater for patients with any number of missing teeth and once the crown, denture or bridge is in place, the smile will look amazing and full function will be restored to the mouth. Implants are not the cheapest option on offer, but they last much longer than the alternatives and they provide many benefits, from improved tooth function to amazing, natural looking smiles. Implant treatment usually takes several months, as it takes time for the implant to integrate into the jaw bone; however, there are other options available for those who are looking for instant results, such as the All-on-4 system.

People of Leeds, invisible braces really are all they’re cracked up to be!

Saturday, February 8th, 2014

 18625044If you’ve read about invisible braces, you may have thought you were dreaming, but we have good news: invisible braces really are all they’re cracked up to be! If you’ve been thinking about braces for a while, but always been reluctant because you didn’t want to wear highly visible braces, now is the time to go for it! Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional braces, which provides a solution for al those people who have avoided braces in the past based on aesthetics. Invisalign is not like traditional orthodontic treatments. Rather than using a fixed brace, which is made from metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to generate forces and straighten the teeth. These aligners are light and they are transparent, which makes them virtually invisible to other people. If you wanted to, you could go through the entire treatment process without anyone else even finding out that you are wearing braces. The treatment process is fairly simple. Before you wear your aligner for the first time, your treatment will be planned and the aligners will be made according to your personalised plan. Each aligner is different and the treatment works as a series, with each one worn for 2 weeks and removed to eat, drink and clean the teeth. Invisalign is suitable for most patients and it represents an ideal choice for those who want a discreet treatment, which also offers convenience and comfort.

Could sedation be the answer to your prayers in Leeds?

Friday, February 7th, 2014

18625029Few people list going to the dentist as their favourite thing to do, but for some, a trip to the dentist is such a daunting and unpleasant prospect that they swerve appointments for months, sometimes years, on end. Regular dental checks are important for a number of reasons; not only do they allow dentists to keep an eye on your teeth and check for any potential warning signs, but they also reduce your risk of developing gum disease and dental decay, both of which can have implications for your health. We understand that going to the dentist can be a scary experience, but this is why we offer treatments, such as sedation. Sedation is a popular technique used to eliminate pain from procedures and enable patients to feel more relaxed; it induces a state of deep relaxation in patients and allows them to undergo treatment without any pain or anxiety. Sedation is suitable for many patients and it can really help patients to conquer their nerves and encourage them to attend dental appointments on a more frequent basis, which serves to boost oral and general health. When you are sedated, you do not become unconscious like with general anaesthetic, but you won’t feel any pain. You can speak to your dentist if you want to and you will be able to hear them, although you will feel drowsy. After sedation, it is common to have very little recollection of what went on during the procedure and you may feel sleepy for a little while until the effects of the sedative have worn off.

Fastbraces: what’s the deal in the city of Leeds?

Thursday, February 6th, 2014

4244118_blogIf you thought you had to wait years for a straight smile in the city of Leeds, think again! Fastbraces is an incredible, innovative fixed brace treatment, which produces impressive results in half the time of traditional fixed braces. If you’ve been searching for a fast-acting treatment or you’ve put off having treatment in the past as a result of lengthy treatment time, now is the time to take the plunge and start your journey to a perfect smile! Fastbraces uses the latest technology, combined with over 20 years of research, to move the teeth much faster than traditional fixed braces. Usually, braces move the crowns and the roots separately, but Fastbraces moves both sections of the teeth at the same time. From day one of treatment, the braces work to move the entire tooth, which halves treatment time and means that you can enjoy your new smile a whole lot sooner. The make-up of Fastbraces braces is also different. The advanced braces are made from triangular-shaped brackets and a heat activated wire, which accelerates treatment time, as well as reducing discomfort. With Fastbraces you can expect swift treatment, with an average treatment time of 4 months for minor cases and 12 months for more complex cases, as well as, comfort, discretion and value for money. This is because you will need fewer dental appointments during the treatment process. If these features match your orthodontic treatment wish-list, why not arrange a consultation to find out more and check that you are a suitable candidate for treatment?
