An Alternative To Metal Fillings

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015

4207449_blogIf you’re looking for a natural looking alternative to metal or amalgam fillings, we have the perfect solution for you! If you have a new cavity or you’re looking to replace old fillings, we strongly recommend white filings.

Everything you need to know about white fillings

White fillings are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to metal fillings, which are used to fill holes in the outer tooth layer known as cavities. These tooth-coloured fillings are made from resins and a dental material called composite, which is available in several shades. When you have a cavity, it’s important to have treatment to reduce the risk of further infection, as decay can spread through the tooth, resulting in more serious consequences. White fillings help to reduce the risk of further infection and strengthen the enamel without detracting from the aesthetic of your smile.

When you have a filling, your dentist will first clean the tooth thoroughly to remove any harmful bacteria and decayed tooth tissue. The cavity will then be etched and bonding material will be placed to ensure that the filling adheres. Your dentist will select the closest shade of composite to match your natural tooth colour and then place the composite inside the cavity, shaping it to make sure that it fills the entire hole. Once your dentist is happy with the filling, they will ask you to pop on a pair of protective goggles and then shine a curing light onto the tooth as this sets the composite, making it firm and durable.

How long will a white filling last?

White fillings should last up to five years, but it is important to take good care of your teeth y practising good oral hygiene at home, watching your diet and sugar intake and seeing your dentist on a regular basis, ideally every 6 months.

How Do We Repair Chips and Gaps in the Teeth?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2015

2904346_blogEven the strongest and healthiest teeth can become damaged as a result of accidents and sports injuries. But rest assured – our job is to restore and repair broken or chipped teeth and enhance your smile’s natural beauty with minimal discomfort. If you’re looking for a simple and affordable solution for damaged teeth or have gaps in your smile you’d like to close, we can help.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is an effective procedure with incredible aesthetic benefits for your smile. Also known as composite bonding, this procedure uses dental composite to carry out minor alterations and repair work to the teeth. Bonding targets uneven and misshapen teeth, gaps between the teeth, chips and worn surfaces. Using dental composite, your dentist will reshape individual teeth, build up uneven or worn edges and reduce the size of spaces between the teeth. Changes to each tooth may be minor, but the results are incredible.

The procedure involves skill, precision and creative flair. Your dentist will use their expertise to shape the composite, carry out the relevant repair work and produce amazing aesthetic changes. They will choose the shade of composite that matches your tooth shade. Once the putty-like composite is in place, your dentist will harden it using a curing light. This only takes a minute and doesn’t cause any discomfort.

The benefits of bonding

Bonding doesn’t just create beautiful smiles, it also boosts confidence and makes you feel more attractive without any injections or drilling. Treatment takes just an hour and we can do it all in one session. You’ll be able to enjoy the benefits straight away and bonding is a much cheaper option than veneers or orthodontic braces. To find out more, pick up the phone and give us a call.

If you have minor cosmetic flaws, such as chipped, worn or misshapen teeth, gaps between your teeth or uneven tooth edges, cosmetic bonding offers a simple and affordable solution.

So, what exactly is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is a single-session treatment that offers incredible aesthetic benefits to patients with mild imperfections. Bonding involves layering dental composite to re-shape the teeth and reduce the size of gaps between them. Dental composite is a putty-like substance that comes in a range of shades to match your natural teeth. Your dentist will use their skills and expertise to carefully prepare the teeth and layer the composite to build up worn edges, improve the shape of the individual teeth and repair chips. Once the composite is in the correct place, your dentist will shine a curing lamp onto it to set it. Although composite is not as hard as natural tooth enamel, it can last for many years.

The benefits of bonding

Bonding offers an array of benefits and it can really make a difference to the way you feel about your smile, as well as the way it looks. Treatment can usually be completed in under an hour and the results are visible instantly. There’s no drilling, no injections and the outcome is fantastic.

Alternatives To Veneers In The City Of Leeds

Friday, December 19th, 2014

2977218_blogVeneers are very popular and they do create amazing aesthetics, but they are not always the best option for every patient. Veneers can be expensive and often, there are less invasive treatments that may be more beneficial. One treatment that we often recommend for patients who need minor repair or aesthetic work is cosmetic bonding.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding, also known as dental or composite bonding, is a cosmetic procedure, which presents a more affordable and quicker alternative to veneers. Bonding is usually completed within an hour and there is no pain involved, so patients don’t have to worry about injections or leaving the clinic with that horrible numb feeling.

Bonding is a great solution for chipped and worn teeth and it can also be a really effective choice for patients who have a gap between their teeth. With bonding, your dentist makes tiny changes to individual teeth, which have a significant impact on the look of the smile.

What happens during the procedure?

Cosmetic bonding involves using dental composite, a versatile, tooth-coloured material, to carry out minor repairs and aesthetic changes to individual teeth. Composite has a similar consistency to putty and this means that it can be shaped and modified to fit in gaps, repair chipped teeth and to build-up and smooth out uneven surfaces. Once the composite is in the right place, your dentist will then set it using a curing light; this takes just a few seconds and all you have to do is pop on a pair of protective glasses.

Bonding usually takes around one hour and the results will be there to see and enjoy immediately.

If you’re looking for a fast, affordable and completely painless solution for chips and wear and tear and you dream of a beautiful smile, bonding could be just the ticket!

Wake Up To White Filling Wonderland In Leeds

Tuesday, September 16th, 2014

4756357_blogAre you sick of spotting silver fillings in photos or wondering about safer alternatives to mercury fillings? If so, we can offer white fillings to repair and strengthen your teeth with minimal aesthetic impact.

What are white fillings?

White fillings are a modern alternative to mercury amalgam fillings; they are used to fill cavities, small holes, in the teeth. White fillings are made from dental composite, which is designed to match the colour of the tooth. Composite is soft and malleable and it is hardened on exposure to light; this means it can be moulded to fit the cavity perfectly before it is set.

White fillings are becoming increasingly popular because they are much more aesthetically pleasing than silver fillings and they are also safer and better for the environment.

Can I get my mercury fillings replaced?

Yes! We will be happy to replace existing metal fillings with new white fillings, as well as fitting white fillings for the first time.

What are the benefits of a filling?

Fillings are restorations, which are designed to make a tooth stronger when there is a cavity. Cavities are holes, which weaken the structure of the teeth; they are caused by bacteria and once there is a hole in the tooth, there is a risk of infection spreading to other parts of the tooth. The filling strengthens the tooth, but it is also protects it from further infection.

How long do fillings last?

The design and technology behind dental materials is advancing all the time and white fillings are now extremely durable. If the tooth is well looked-after they should last for several years.

About composite bonding

Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dental treatment, which uses dental composite to make running repairs to the smile. This treatment is suitable for patients who have chipped and worn teeth, as well as those who have unsightly gaps between the teeth. Composite is very versatile and it comes in putty form, which means that it can be bent, moulded and morphed to fit and fill gaps and add structure to damaged teeth.

Your City Dental dentist will use their expertise and design skills to patch up worn and chipped teeth, close gaps and improve the shape of the teeth while the composite is soft and malleable. They will then shine a light on the composite to set it, making it firm and durable. Once the composite is hard, your dentist will ensure a perfect result by making any final modifications and then you can see the results.

With bonding, even the simplest of changes can make such a difference to the look of your smile. The procedure doesn’t take long and there’s no pain involved; the results are there to see as soon as your dentist has finished and they should last for years to come.

Is bonding the best treatment for me?

If you have minor aesthetic issues, such as a couple of chipped teeth, a small gap between your teeth or worn and uneven teeth, cosmetic bonding could be an excellent treatment for you. This procedure is less invasive and much more affordable than veneers. In some cases, for example, when issues are more complex and require more intensive treatment, other solutions may be better; we can discuss these with you during your consultation.

If you have large spaces between your teeth and you are looking to fix the problem, rather than finding a way to change just the aesthetic of your smile, we recommend orthodontic treatment. We have many treatments available, including discreet systems, which enable you to enjoy a straight smile without any worries about your image.
