What Are The Benefits Of All-On-Four Dental Implants?

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015

When it comes to dental innovations, we like to move with the times and enable our clients to enjoy the best new treatments on the market. We are delighted to offer the amazing All-on-4 implant system, a terrific treatment, which enables patients to enjoy a brand new smile in just one day.

What exactly is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a single-day implant treatment, which uses a set of four implants to secure an arch of new teeth. Two implants are placed at the back of the jaw, with the remaining two implants situated at the front. The implants serve to replace the tooth roots, while the denture replaces the tooth crowns.

All-on-4 is special because it facilitates rapid results. There are also fewer implants than traditional treatment and this means that the procedure is less invasive. Traditionally, between 6 and 10 implants are needed to stabilise a full arch of teeth and all implants are placed at 90 degree angles; with All-on-4, only four implants are used and the back implants sit at 45 degree angles.

Once the four implants are in place, the new denture can be attached and you can start enjoying the many benefits. In just one day, this treatment really can transform your smile, as well as your confidence and wellbeing.

Who is All-on-4 designed for?

All-on-4 can be beneficial for most patients who have a large number of missing teeth and is a particularly popular choice for those who have experienced issues with traditional dentures in the past. With All-on-4, the teeth are anchored by implants and this provides a much higher level of stability than the natural suction of the gums.

If you would like to find out if you are a good candidate for All-on-4, what are you waiting for? Call us now to book a consultation! We will provide you with all the information you need about the treatment and perform some simple, painless tests to see if it is a good match for your dental needs.

Friday, January 30th, 2015

We understand that people like to be glamorous in Leeds and we offer perfect dental veneers to create stunning smiles. With our veneers, your smile will look fabulous and you’ll feel like a VIP every day.

About veneers

Veneers are a very popular treatment with celebrities, but you don’t need to feature in a Hollywood blockbuster or star in a soap to enjoy a beautiful smile. Our veneers are affordable and accessible and they can guarantee you a red carpet worthy look right here in the centre of Leeds.

Veneers are wafer-thin shells, which are usually made from porcelain; they are placed on top of the natural teeth. We offer a range of shades to suit your preferences and every veneer is custom-designed.

We recommend veneers for common cosmetic flaws, including chipped teeth, worn and uneven tooth edges and spaces between the teeth; veneers can also be used as part of a smile makeover to create a dream new smile.

What happens when you have veneers?

Veneer treatment usually requires 2 treatment sessions. The first session is designed to prepare the teeth and create the impressions, which are sent away to provide a template for the new veneers. Preparing the teeth is nothing to worry about- we simply etch away a very fine layer of the tooth surface to make space for your new veneers. The second session is the exciting part; this is when we fit your new veneers and you get to see your incredible new smile! Veneers are fixed onto the teeth using strong adhesive.

If you like the sound of veneers and you’d like to find out more about treatment at City Dental Leeds, don’t hesitate to give us a call today! Now is the perfect time to start thinking about glamorous new you!

All You Need To Know About Lingual Braces In The City Of Leeds

Monday, January 26th, 2015

If you’re searching for a fixed brace with a modern spin, look no further than lingual braces. These braces work in a similar way to traditional fixed braces, but they sit behind the teeth, making them a completely invisible alternative to conventional braces.

Lingual braces offer those who are conscious of their appearance or image a means of getting the smile they dream of without minimal anxiety or concern about how the treatment process will impact their day to day life and their confidence.

STb Social 6 braces

We are delighted to offer STb Social 6 lingual braces, fixed braces, which move the teeth without anyone knowing. These specially designed lingual braces correct minor issues that affect the social 6, the teeth that are visible when you smile. These braces employ the latest self-ligating technology to achieve rapid treatment and minimise discomfort.

STb Social 6 is ideally suited to patients who only require minor correction and is particularly beneficial for those who would prefer discretion, as well as the reliability and performance of fixed braces.

How long does treatment?

STb Social 6 braces work to straighten the teeth in record time and treatment times are typically between 6 and 16 weeks.

How can I find out if I’m a good match for treatment?

If you are interested in lingual braces or any other form of orthodontic treatment, we advise organising a consultation. Our expert dentists will carry out some basic tests to evaluate your needs and they can then discuss treatment possibilities with you. STb Social 6 is usually a good option for patients who only have minor needs; if you are looking for a discreet treatment for more complex issues, we will be happy to go through other options with you in order to achieve the perfect new smile.

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment

Tuesday, January 20th, 2015

If you have an infected tooth or your tooth is severely damaged or injured, root canal treatment may be recommended. We know what you’re thinking; most people dread hearing the words root canal, let alone undergoing the procedure, but we can promise you that it’s a lot less daunting than is made out and most of our patients leave wondering what they were ever worried about.

Root canal treatment is an effective procedure, which provides an alternative to extraction when a dental infection has reached the pulp tissue or the pulp has been damaged through injury. The pulp is the tooth’s living tissue and it contains the blood vessels and the nerves. Once the pulp is affected, the tooth starts to die and there is a high risk of an infection spreading to the tooth roots and the gums.

What happens when you have root canal treatment?

Before treatment your dentist will talk you through the process and numb your tooth completely; this will help to ensure you understand what is going to happen and that you feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the tooth is numb, your dentist will drill into it and access the root canals; these narrow canals run towards the tip of the root. Your dentist will set about cleaning the root canals, removing the dead, decayed or damaged pulp tissue and ensuring that all harmful bacteria are taken away. The root canals are then cleaned thoroughly and sealed using a special material called gutta percha.

We usually recommend placing a new crown after root canal treatment; this helps to make the tooth stronger.

Are there any other alternatives?

Root canal treatment is usually recommended when there is no other option but to extract the tooth.

Try Fastbraces Orthodontic Technology

Thursday, January 15th, 2015

If you’re one of the many people who are reluctant to have orthodontic treatment because you don’t want to wear braces for years, Fastbraces could provide the perfect solution. This system reduces treatment time significantly, so you can get the smile of your dreams without having to wait.

What is Fastbraces?

Fastbraces is a fast-acting orthodontic system, which offers patients a quicker alternative to traditional braces. The system is not just speedy, it’s also versatile and it can be used to address a number of different orthodontic issues, including overbite and underbite, crooked and twisted teeth, crowding and spaces between the teeth.

Fastbraces look similar to traditional fixed braces; however, they are more delicate and they look much more discreet, as they are made from clear parts.

How does Fastbraces work?

Fastbraces is able to work much faster than other orthodontic systems because it moves the entire tooth from day one. With traditional treatment, the crowns and roots are moved separately, with the crowns moved first, followed by the roots. With Fastbraces, the crowns and roots are moved together and this helps to dramatically reduce treatment times.

Fastbraces use a single heat-activated wire and triangular-shaped brackets to accelerate tooth movement and prevent discomfort.

Who can benefit from Fastbraces?

Fastbraces are beneficial for most orthodontic patients. When you have a consultation, your City Dental dentist will carry out some simple tests and have a chat with you to check that this is a good treatment choice for you; from there, they will set about drawing up your treatment plan and you will soon be able to show off a brand new smile!

Fastbraces is an ideal choice for anyone who wants results fast and it can be particularly beneficial for people who have a set date or time-frame in mind.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment times vary depending on your needs and how much movement is needed; typically, treatment times are up to 50 per cent shorter than with traditional fixed braces.
