How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Repair Chipped Teeth

Tuesday, May 12th, 2015

2904387_blogAt City Dental Leeds, we understand that even the most minor imperfections can knock your confidence when you smile. If you’re troubled by chipped teeth and you long for a flawless smile, we can help. With cosmetic bonding, we can patch up broken and worn teeth in no time, giving you a stunning smile and bags of confidence.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is a restorative treatment that offers amazing aesthetic benefits for patients who have minor cosmetic imperfections such as worn and jagged edges, chipped teeth and gaps between the teeth. This procedure achieves incredible results by using a versatile tooth-coloured material called dental composite. Composite can be used to re-shape and repair the teeth and it comes in an array of shades, so we can match the new structure to your natural tooth extremely closely.

Composite bonding only takes around an hour and it is not an uncomfortable procedure, so you won’t need any anaesthetic. Your dentist will shape the composite to carry out the relevant changes to the shape and size of individual teeth while the composite is soft at room temperature. When they are happy with the result, they will then shine a curing light onto the teeth and this will set the composite, making it firm. Once the composite is hard, your dentist will then carry out any final adjustments and then show you the fruits of their labour. You’ll be amazed at the difference seemingly minor changes can make to the aesthetic of your smile and you’ll feel much more confident when you smile.

Are there any alternatives?

It is also possible to have veneer treatment to repair chips in the teeth. A Veneer is a very thin sheet of tooth-shaped porcelain, placed over the top of the tooth to create a stunning aesthetic. Veneer treatment produces incredible results, but it is much more expensive than bonding and the procedure is more invasive.

If you’d like to find out more about cosmetic bonding, or any of our other fantastic cosmetic treatments, such as veneers or teeth whitening, call us today and make an appointment.

Dazzle With Your White Bright Smile With Our Whitening Treatments

Saturday, November 1st, 2014

2977218_blogIf you’re looking forward to Christmas and New Year parties, what better way to dazzle your friends and colleagues than with a new smile? With our incredible whitening treatments, we can give you a stunning, bright smile in perfect time for the festive party season!

We use premium home whitening kits to achieve incredible results with maximum convenience and minimal hassle. With home whitening, there’s no concern about battling the rain and wind and you can enjoy all the benefits of treatment from the comfort of home.

About home whitening

Home whitening is a really simple and convenient way of getting a beautiful, radiant smile. With home whitening, you simply wear whitening trays, which are similar to gum shields that are worn for sport, for a period of time at home. Often, the results are noticeable after just a couple of days, but we recommend a treatment period of 14 days for the best outcome.

Before you start treatment, we invite you to attend a consultation at the clinic; during this quick and informal appointment, we will check your dental health, talk you trough the home whitening process and make moulds of your teeth. These moulds are used to create your bespoke whitening trays. When your trays are ready, you can pick them up and then take home and prepare to start treatment.

We recommend wearing the trays for around 6 hours per day; most of our clients wear their trays at night, so treatment has no impact on their day to day life or work commitments. Home whitening is safe and effective and we are here if you need advice or you have questions about the treatment method. You can also top-up treatment in the future if you want to give your smile a whitening boost.

If you’re interested in home whitening this winter, why not give us a call and make your appointment today! A dazzling new smile could be yours by Christmas!

About cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is focused on the aesthetic of the smile and the aim of treatment is to improve the look of the smile.

The smile is one of the most important features and it’s completely understandable to want to have treatment to make it look more attractive.

Many people who dislike their smile suffer from a lack of confidence and this can really hold them back in terms of personal and professional relationships and career success. With a new smile, many patients feel much more confident and they have the strength and ambition to do things they wouldn’t have entertained before. A new smile can also make you look younger, more attractive and more appealing to potential employers and business partners.

Gappy Smiles Are A Distant Memory Here In Heartland Leeds

Monday, June 23rd, 2014

221838_blogYour smile is often the first thing people notice about you and an important part of your appearance, so it’s natural to want it to look beautiful. Few people are blessed with naturally flawless smiles, but we have solutions for almost any issue you could possibly imagine and a perfect smile is never beyond the realms of possibility. Whether your teeth are crowded or crooked, you have staining or you have a gappy smile, we have treatments available to transform your teeth into a radiant set of pearly whites.

What can we do for a gappy smile?

A gappy smile is a term used when there are spaces between the teeth. Although there are often no symptoms associated with a gappy smile, there are aesthetic implications and this can affect confidence.

We have various options available to treat a gappy smile, including veneers, composite bonding and orthodontic treatments.

Composite bonding: this is a very effective and simple procedure, which can be used to build up worn tooth surfaces, close gaps between the smile and patch up chipped teeth. It involves using dental composite, which is the material used for white fillings. To begin with, the composite is soft and this means that dentists can shape and bend it to fit the gaps; when they are happy with the look of the teeth, the composite is then set firm using a powerful light source.

Veneers: veneers are an effective means of covering gaps between the teeth and they create beautiful results; they are usually made from porcelain and they sit over the top of the natural teeth. However, they do not actually reduce the size of the gaps between the teeth. Veneers can also be used to treat chipped and worn teeth.

Orthodontic treatment: orthodontic treatment moves the teeth and corrects tooth alignment. There are various options available depending on how much movement is required, including removable aligners, fixed braces, lingual braces and invisible braces.
