We Can Replace Missing Teeth Effectively In Central Leeds

Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

2433646_sCity Dental Leeds is delighted to offer dental implant treatment to fulfil all your tooth loss needs. This innovative treatment provides an amazing solution to lost teeth and it can be hugely beneficial for patients of all ages. We are lucky to have two highly experienced implant dentists in our team, so you can rest assured that you’re in very safe hands.

About dental implants

Dental implants are the latest tooth replacement treatment on the market; they are designed to take on the responsibilities of the tooth root and they are compatible with a range of restorations, so they can be used to treat patients of all ages with varying dental needs.

Implants are made from titanium and they resemble small screws; the implant is secured into a socket in the jaw bone and once it has integrated into the bone tissue, the head of the implant is then attached to the restoration. Implants are compatible with bridges, dentures and crowns, so you can benefit if you have just one, a few or multiple missing teeth. The integration process, which ensures maximum stability for the new tooth, is known as osseointegration and it usually takes 3-6 months.

Once the restoration has been joined to the implant, your smile will look completely natural and your new teeth will function in the same way as healthy natural teeth. You can eat and enjoy a diverse range of foods, your speech will be clear and you can enjoy enhanced facial aesthetics, as the new teeth will provide additional support for your cheeks and lips.

As well as restoring the beauty of the smile and functionality of the mouth, dental implants can also help to reduce bone loss and they offer a long-term alternative to dentures and dental bridges.

If you have missing teeth and you like the sound of dental implants, call us now to find out more and see if you are a good candidate for treatment.

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?

Sunday, January 11th, 2015

2143132_blogRoot canal treatment is a procedure, which may be called into action when the tooth pulp becomes infected or injured. The pulp lies beneath the enamel and dentine layers and contains the living tissue of the tooth, including the blood vessels and the nerves. Once an infection reaches the pulp, there is often only one alternative to root canal treatment and this is extraction.

The root canals are narrow channels, which run from the top of the pulp chamber to the tip of the root.

What happens when you have root canal treatment?

The aim of root canal treatment is to remove decayed pulp tissue and clear the root canals to prevent an infection spreading. In order to do this, your dentist will drill into the tooth to access the root canals, clear all the decayed tissue away and then clean the root canals thoroughly. All this will be done under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain at all.

Once the root canals are clear and clean, they will be filled using gutta percha, a dental material. Filling the root canals helps to reduce the risk of bacteria spreading into the roots.

In most cases of root canal treatment, it’s advisable to replace the tooth crown with a new crown; this helps to protect the tooth from further injury or damage. Crowns are custom-made and they sit on top of your natural tooth; we recommend ceramic crowns for a natural looking aesthetic.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

There is a popular belief that root canal treatment is very painful and unpleasant, but our dentists are highly skilled and they use their expertise to prevent discomfort. The tooth is numbed using local anaesthetic beforehand, so you won’t feel any pain. Many of our patients dread the procedure coming in and leave wondering what all the fuss was about! If you’re a nervous patient, don’t hesitate to mention this to your dentist, so they can take extra special care of you and help you to feel less anxious.

Why We Offer Dental Sedation In The City Of Leeds

Saturday, January 10th, 2015

352388_blogWe appreciate that many patients feel anxious when a trip to the dentist is looming and this is why we provide sedation. If you are very nervous about having a dental procedure or you suffer from dental phobia, we can offer treatment under sedation to help you to feel relaxed.

Our dental team is experienced in caring for nervous patients and we use painless techniques and advanced treatments to make patients feel comfortable and prevent them from experiencing pain; we also encourage patients to relax and make themselves feel at home with a drink, a film or some soothing music and we are always happy to arrange a chat or a tour before treatment to help reassure clients and answer any questions.

What is sedation?

We are able to perform a range of procedures under sedation. Sedation is a relaxation technique, which is used to prevent patients from feeling pain or experiencing anxiety when they have a dental or medical procedure. Unlike general anaesthetic, sedatives do not make you lose consciousness and you can return home straight after treatment. Once you are sedated, you will simply feel a little drowsy and you won’t feel any pain. After sedation, it’s normal to feel a little out of it and sleepy, but you will soon start to feel more alert; it can take up to 24 hours for the effects to wear off fully and once we have checked you over, we ask for you to arrange for somebody to take you home and sit with you.

The benefits of sedation

Sedation helps to relax patients. Often, even the thought of having dental treatment can make people feel very stressed and nervous and sometimes, people feel so scared that they avoid going to the dentist for years on end, even if they have dental problems. Sedation helps to make dental treatment less daunting, both before and during a procedure and patients can go into the treatment room with the peace of mind that they are not going to feel any pain. Sedation can also be beneficial for patients who require complex treatment, as they will feel more comfortable.

Create A Stunning New Smile With Veneer Treatment In Central Leeds

Saturday, December 27th, 2014

1050560_blogMost of us admit to wanting to look good and surveys suggest that most people regard their smile their most important feature. In recent years, there has been a great deal of media attention on the perfect sparkly smile and we have seen a significant increase the number of people seeking cosmetic dental treatments, such as tooth whitening and veneers. If you’re one of the many people who dream of a bright, beautiful smile, our veneers are the perfect choice.

About our veneers

We offer porcelain veneers to create stunning new smiles. Porcelain veneers look natural and the have a beautiful glossy shine, which will ensure your smile looks radiant and healthy. Veneers are available in all kinds of shapes and sizes and we can tailor the design of your smile to create the perfect image; some clients go for all-out glamour, while others prefer a more subtle effect.

Veneer treatment

Veneer treatment usually involves two sessions. Before any veneers can be placed, impressions must be made; this enables us to create bespoke veneers, which fit perfectly. The surfaces of the teeth are prepared very carefully; this process is required to make space for the veneers and ensure that they look natural and feel comfortable, rather than bulky.

Once the veneers have been returned from the laboratory we can then fit them and you can see your new smile for the first time. We place the veneers in position on top of your natural teeth and then check that you are happy with your new look before securing them using strong dental adhesive.

Veneers are a popular choice for people who want to recreate a Hollywood style smile, as well as those seeking an aesthetic solution for problems such as discoloured, chipped, worn and uneven teeth.

6 Month Smiles Braces Can Treat A Whole Host Of Orthodontic Problems

Wednesday, December 24th, 2014

4865112_blogAt City Dental we pride ourselves in providing solutions for patients with a whole host of orthodontic problems and we offer a wide range of innovative treatments. One of our most impressive systems is 6 Month Smiles.

What is 6 Month Smiles?

6 Month Smiles is a modern take on traditional fixed braces, which offers a rapid fix for minor and moderate orthodontic problems with the front teeth. 6 Month Smiles has been developed using the best aspects of traditional fixed brace treatment and adding modern features and design concepts to reduce pain, cut treatment time and enhance aesthetics both during and after treatment. With this treatment, you can expect a beautiful smile in just 6 months.

How does treatment work?

6 Month Smiles use specially designed brackets and wires to generate gentle forces, which propel the teeth into the correct position. The wires have been developed using the latest technology and are able to move the teeth incredibly quickly with minimal pain. Treatment times are much shorter than other systems because the braces focus on the teeth that are on show when you smile; this not only means that you can enjoy the results quicker, but also ensures that your smile looks incredible once the braces have been removed.

Am I a suitable candidate?

6 Month Smiles is ideally suited to patients who require minor or moderate treatment for crooked teeth and spacing; it is also a really excellent choice for people who have a special date in mind and those who only have a limited amount of time available. Most patients who do not require major changes to their bite are suitable candidates for 6 Month Smiles treatment.

Your City Dental dentist will be able to assess whether you are a good candidate for treatment at your consultation; if this is not the best choice, your dentist will explore other possibilities with you.

How Does Home Tooth Whitening Work In Central Leeds?

Saturday, December 20th, 2014

4244118_blogTooth whitening is a very popular cosmetic dental treatment, which aims to make the teeth look brighter and the smile more radiant, youthful and attractive. Home whitening is a home-based treatment, which uses a very simple, hassle-free process to whiten the teeth in an extremely convenient way. With this system, treatment fits in around your schedule and you can enjoy all the benefits of a beautiful white smile without even leaving the comfort of home.

How does home whitening work?

Home whitening is very simple and it’s a great option for patients who have busy work schedules and social commitments. With this system, you undergo treatment at home by simply wearing whitening trays. These trays are custom-made for each individual patient and they contain whitening agent, which gradually lightens the shade of your teeth when it comes into contact with the tooth surface. The trays aren’t painful and you wear them for around 6 hours per day. You can wear your trays during the day or night to suit your schedule.

We generally recommend a treatment period of between 10 and 14 days. After this time has lapsed, you should notice a real difference in the look of your smile.

Is home whitening safe?

Our home whitening treatments are safe and effective; we use the finest premium whitening products, we offer consultations before treatment begins and our expert dentists are on hand to provide assistance during the treatment process. If you are interested in lightening your tooth shade and enjoying a stunning white smile, we strongly recommend undergoing professional dentist-approved treatment; you will be in safe hands and the results will be incredible! Call now to book your consultation and start the New Year with a sparkling smile!

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!

Follow In The Steps Of Celebrities With Our Innovative Lingual Brace Technology

Wednesday, December 17th, 2014

2445507_blogCelebrity braces have become extremely popular and with our amazing lingual braces, you can make like an A-lister and get the smile of your dreams with no worries about showcasing a highly visible brace every time you smile. Lingual braces sit behind the teeth, presenting an excellent option for image-conscious patients and those who are reluctant to commit to visible braces because of the potential impact it will have on their looks and their confidence.

About STb Social 6 braces

STb Social 6 braces, which are fixed braces that are secured onto the back of the teeth; these braces are specially designed to correct issues with the social 6, the teeth at the front of the mouth, which are most noticeable when you smile.

STb Social 6 braces are aimed at patients who need minor or moderate orthodontic correction.

How do lingual braces work?

Lingual braces work in a similar way to traditional fixed braces; however, the brackets are smaller and lighter and STb Social 6 braces use friction-free wires to move the teeth quickly and comfortably. Brackets and wires work together to generate forces, which apply pressure to the teeth and cause them to move.

How long does treatment take?

Aside from the obvious benefit of secret treatment, patients who choose STb Social 6 braces can also enjoy speedy treatment; these braces can achieve results in a matter of weeks, with an average treatment time of 3-6 months.
