Shaping your Teeth in the City of Leeds

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

There are some pretty nifty methods of cosmetic dentistry designed to get your into shape, though sometimes, there are easy and cheaper ways to have it done, rather than going down more expensive routes in the city of Leeds. One of these is teeth contouring, a simple treatment that can help solve simple problems whenever you smile. For teeth that are too long, a little crooked or even ‘vampire’ in their look, the teeth can be shaped by your dentist by grinding them down. Other techniques designed to contour your teeth are veneers and cosmetic bonding: both of these are excellent for redesigning the shape of your teeth, as well as covering up a myriad of problems from ageing at the same time. However, for more difficult teeth, you will have to go for something a little more intricate. Orthodontic treatments via braces and aligners are excellent for straightening teeth and solving the problems such as gapping, overcrowding and biting issues. Whatever you choose to go for, you have to remember that all of these techniques are for your own good in the long run, not just for the vanity side of things, but for the health of your mouth as well and to ensure that your jaws come together perfectly when you bite.

Sunday, February 3rd, 2013

One of the most wonderful things about modern dentistry is that you can find a solution to any problem and even more important in a busy city like Leeds, you can get treated quickly as well; the perfect example of this is cosmetic bonding.

So if you would like to reinvigorate your smile quickly, this is the treatment you need. Your dentist will delicately layer you teeth with resin over and over until all of your problems have been covered up and hidden away. Then, the resin will be shaped and polished until you have the perfect smile again. This is a very flexible treatment that can be touched up in the future if anything goes wrong but on average, the resin will last you at least 5 years before it needs looking at again. As well as being one of the quickest treatments around, it’s also the cheapest option on the market and definitely the choice if you are in a hurry.

Shaping your Teeth in Leeds

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

As a person in Leeds, you will strive to do what you can for yourself with what you are born with. Not all of us are dealt a fair hand, but hey, we carry on. But thanks to the world of cosmetics and indeed, cosmetic dentistry, you can alter the way you look to give you what you desire. Teeth can be a particularly thorny subject: the way they grow can be inherited so you don’t really get a choice. But dentistry has recognised this and can give you the smile that suits you and teeth contouring can eradicate all the things that you hate about yourself. If your teeth are crooked, it is not necessary to go down the road of braces or aligners when you can have the teeth re-shaped; you may have to have a little more cosmetic work done in the form of veneers or dental bonding but it will all be over with in a couple of weeks as opposed to braces that can take ages. Similarly, if there are certain teeth in your mouth that just annoy you because some are longer and look awkward when you smile, again teeth contouring could well be the answer. It isn’t a painful process and you can be in and out of the dentists chair in as little as an hour.

 

Choosing White Fillings in Central Leeds

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

The in thing right now in cosmetic dentistry in central Leeds is to get your teeth looking as white and bright and as natural as possible and there are many wonderful ways you can get this done. But along with this comes the need to have your fillings white as well. Now if you are part of the modern generation, this really isn’t a problem because these days, you will get the choice between white fillings and amalgam ones. But if you want natural, it will always be white. Of course, that doesn’t help people who already have grey fillings: a dentist would be very loathe to remove a good filling for vanity purposes, but, they can be altered a little and covered with a bit of cosmetic bonding. However, white composite fillings for all their natural-ness; don’t have the strength that an amalgam has. They tend to shrink when fitted so the shelf life is a little limited; hence, they are more prone to falling out. However, like most things in the dental world, they are getting better the more they evolve and considering that amalgams are being phased out over health issues, white fillings are the future anyway…and who doesn’t want that natural look eh?

 

The truth about Amalgam Fillings in the City of Leeds

Sunday, November 18th, 2012

Unless you are the luckiest person in the city of Leeds, most people will have a filling or two at some point in their lives and historically, this would be done with a grey, amalgam filling. This type of filling is very robust and can take more forces that the average tooth can and it has always been thought of as the perfect answer to the problem tooth decay: once done it can pretty much last you for life. The results have always seemed favourable for amalgam, but, grey is not today’s colour, white is and the lightening bolt of what’s fashionable means that most people try to avoid amalgam fillings if they can in order to get the most ‘natural’ smile they can. However, a more sinister reason behind avoiding amalgam has surfaced. The materials used in this filling have a hint of poison within and in some countries, this filling has been banned. Now, if you compare amalgam to the latest dandy white fillings around today, there is no competition when it comes to practicality- amalgam wins every time. And as for the inherent poisons that may possibly cause problems for you in the future, then just ask your 80 something grandparents about their fillings: they may well still have them in and let’s face it, swapping amalgam for the latest en-vogue fillings will make you look great, but it isn’t going to put years on your life and at the end of the day, you want something that is going to last, and amalgam fillings do this.
