Marvellous Dental Bonding In Leeds For Tooth Chips And Gaps

Tuesday, October 21st, 2014

4843159_blogHave you ever wondered about getting your chipped teeth seen to, but thought you’d have to pay hundreds of pounds or spend hours in the dental chair? If you’ve been put off having cosmetic dental treatment for chipped teeth, we have incredible news for you. At City Dental Leeds, we can offer cosmetic bonding, an affordable, quick and painless solution to remedy your dental woes.

Cosmetic bonding, also known as composite bonding, is a procedure, which involves using dental composite to patch up and repair damaged, worn and chipped teeth. The procedure takes just an hour and there is absolutely no pain involved, so you don’t need to worry about a thing.

The procedure

If you have a chipped tooth or you have a few teeth that are a little worn and in need of some TLC, bonding is a great option. Your dentist will select a shade of dental composite to match the tooth shade and then shape the composite, which feels like putty, to fit the gaps and shape the tooth. When your dental expert is comfortable with the position of the composite, they will then shine a curing light onto the material to make it set. This takes just a few seconds and the composite becomes firm.

The benefits

There are so many benefits of bonding and you will be shocked what a difference such a simple procedure can make. Even repairing a small chip can make the smile look much healthier and more attractive and the process is quick, simple and pain-free. This option is also much more affordable than veneers and it really makes an amazing difference to the look of the smile, as well as your confidence.

Get A Brighter Veneer With Lumineers In Leeds

Saturday, August 16th, 2014

529808_blogAt City Dental Leeds, we pride ourselves in offering the brightest, more beautiful veneers and we are delighted to offer the amazing Lumineer system. Lumineers are made from patented ceramic, which comes all the way from the USA.

The ins and outs of Lumineers

Lumineers are a very popular type of veneer, which are made from a patented ceramic material by Cerinate. These veneers are crafted at the Cerinate studios in America and they are renowned for creating stunning smiles. Lumineers have a beautiful iridescent finish and they are up to twice as strong as traditional porcelain veneers.

Lumineers, like other veneers, sit over the top of the natural teeth and they produce amazing results. They have a very natural look and they are custom-made to match your design of the dream smile.

Lumineers are also extremely thin and light, which means that minimal preparation is required before the veneers are placed; this allows the tooth structure to remain intact and contributes to a simple, pain-free treatment process.

How could Lumineers benefit me?

Lumineers are hugely beneficial for patients who long for a radiant and flawless smile. They not only create beautiful smiles for those who want to enhance their natural smile, they also offer a really impressive solution for patients who have chipped, worn or discoloured teeth.

If you’re looking for a treatment, which will guarantee that you leave the clinic sporting a perfect new smile, this is the one for you! Call us now to book your consultation.

Protect Your Teeth During Sports With A City Leeds Mouth Guard

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014

Sport is fun. It’s373639_blog exhilarating and great for your health, but it is also a major cause of dental injuries. At City Dental we want our patients to enjoy playing sport and to get stuck in to the game without having to worry about their teeth and this is why we recommend custom-designed mouth guards.

Mouth guards are specially designed trays, which are worn over the top of the teeth to protect them from injuries. Common examples of injuries, which can occur while doing physical exercise, include dislodged teeth, jaw injuries, fractured teeth and chipped teeth. Wearing a mouth guard provides a barrier between the teeth and potential sources of harm, such as balls, rackets, sticks, other people and hard surfaces.

The OSO Athletic mouth guard

We are very proud to be one of a handful of practices in the UK to offer our clients the amazing OSO Athletic mouth guard. This snazzy gum shield is way more than your average mouth guard and it offers a host of benefits in addition to amazing protection for the teeth. This mouth guard is specially designed to improve and enhance sporting performance and it does this while also reducing muscle tension and pressure around the facial muscles.

The OSO Athletic mouth guard is made based on precise measurements from the individual and once in place in the mouth, it automatically adjusts the position of the jaw to its optimum place; this reduces tension and strain in the muscles and improves contraction. It also reduces the risk of muscular pain in the neck and shoulders and enables players to focus on the game, rather than worrying about pain. This innovative mouth guard is proven to improve balance, strength and flexibility by making muscle contraction more efficient and it is an ideal piece of kit to propel you to the next level in your chosen sport.

Who could benefit from an Oso Athletic mouth guard?

The Oso Athletic mouth guard is designed to provide benefits for participants of all abilities, from players who enjoy an informal match at the weekends to elite athletes who train day in, day out.

We highly recommend mouth guards for anyone who plays the following sports:

  • rugby league
  • rugby union
  • boxing
  • martial arts
  • hockey
  • ice hockey
  • body contact sports, such as wrestling and cage fighting
  • lacrosse

LE1: Porcelain Veneers Can Bring Out The Summer In You

Monday, June 16th, 2014

Beautifully HappySummer is so close you can almost taste it and what better way to usher in the warmer months than with a brand new, gleaming smile? Our veneer treatments will give you a gorgeous, radiant smile in perfect time for parties, weddings and summer holidays!

All about veneers

Veneers are very thin shells, which sit on top of your natural teeth. They are usually made from porcelain or other pressed ceramics and they are an increasingly popular choice for people who are looking to enjoy a perfect smile. Veneers are often featured in magazines, fashion and beauty shoots and television makeovers and they are renowned for producing dazzling results.

Veneers have aesthetic benefits, but they can also help to address issues such as chipped and worn teeth. They last for several years and they are available in many different shades, so there is scope to design your ideal smile.

What happens when you have veneers?

Before treatment begins, you will have a consultation to discuss the treatment, go through the processes and procedures and check that you are a suitable candidate for veneer treatment. Once this is complete, planning can begin and you can set about designing your new smile by selecting shades and shapes.

Once you have chosen your veneers, you will have an appointment to prepare the teeth; this involves shaving away a very thin layer of the teeth to make space for the veneers. This is not painful and it should not take long; it helps to make the final result more natural looking and ensures that your veneers are comfortable. Once we have your teeth prepared, impressions are created and sent off to the laboratory, where your veneers will be crafted.

When we receive your veneers, we will fit them, and then we make sure that you love your new smile and then secure them to your teeth. Your new summer smile will then be ready to show off to the world!

Chipped Teeth and Gaps: Let Cosmetic Bonding Work Wonders at Heartland Leeds

Friday, March 28th, 2014

3177562_blogChipped teeth don’t usually cause any pain, but they can affect the look of your smile and even the smallest chip can affect your confidence. If you’ve been hiding your smile away because you don’t want people to see your chipped tooth, we have the perfect solution for you. Cosmetic bonding is a quick, painless treatment, which can repair chips and improve the look of the teeth to create a beautiful smile.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is a procedure used to improve the aesthetic of the smile by making minor changes to the teeth. It is commonly used to repair chipped teeth and worn teeth, but it can also be used to make the gaps between two teeth smaller. Often, the changes that are brought about during this procedure are very minor, but the impact on the look of the smile is significant and an hour in the dental chair makes a massive difference to the look of your smile.

The actual procedure involves using dental composite, a white, putty-like substance, to build up surfaces, fill in chips and close gaps. While in its putty form, composite is malleable and very versatile and your dentist will use their skill to create the best aesthetic. Once they are happy with the placement of the composite, they will use a curing light to set the material and this will make it hard. Once it has set, composite is strong and it should last for several years, although it is not quite as durable as natural tooth enamel.

The bonding process takes less than an hour, there is usually no need for anaesthetic and the results will be clearly visible as soon as your dentist has finished.

Quick Bonding in the City of Leeds

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012

In the hurly-burly lifestyle that the city of Leeds throws at you on a daily basis, it can often be hard to find a slot in your diary to get to the dentists to get yourself checked out, especially if a cosmetic problem crops up that needs doing in order to keep up appearances…Catch 22 eh? But there are treatments out there that get you in and out of the dentist’s chair in an hour and keep you smiling, one of which is dental bonding.

This is an amazingly cheap and versatile treatment- quick too. If your teeth have chipped, cracked, gaps have appeared, or they have just become discoloured, this is the treatment for you. It involves building up the tooth with layers of resin, that are cured as they go along, in order to give your dentist enough to sculpture with (each layer will be coloured in accordance with the rest of your teeth). When the right shape has been achieved and all the offending problems covered up, the teeth will be highly polished.

It is not the strongest of options on the market but its speed and the fact it can simply be touched up in the future make this the choice for anyone on the go.

Prevent sporting dental injury with mouth guard from City of Leeds dentist

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

If you have ever suffered from a knocked out, chipped or cracked tooth you will know exactly how painful it can be. Not only is the pain immediate, but it may require months or even years of painful and costly dental surgery to repair the damage. Knocked out teeth cannot always be replaced and you may require a dental implant or bridge to artificially replace it. Chipped and cracked teeth can usually be repaired with dental bonding, but if the structural damage is too severe, it may require a crown or a veneer to prevent any further damage. All of these artificial dental substitutes will require replacing at various intervals throughout your life.

Nearly half of all dental injuries are caused when playing sport or doing some kind of physical activity and nearly all of these could be avoided with appropriate dental protection. This would usually involve wearing a mouth guard specially prepared for your teeth by a dentist. Although it possible to buy mouth guards from sporting good shops, these are often generically designed and do not provide adequate protection for your teeth. An ill-fitting mouth guard is only marginally better than not having one at all. The real protection comes form the well placed padding and protection offered by a tight-fitting guard.

Wearing a mouth guard may not be the most comfortable thing in the world and let’s face it, it really doesn’t look that cool either, but it does look a lot cooler than having missing teeth and having to wear a partial denture when you’re only in your twenties. It also makes much better financial sense to shell out a few pounds to have mouth guard properly fitted by a dentist than to have to pay thousands for a dental implant or porcelain crown.

This is a case where prevention is certainly much better than cure. Ask a City of Leeds dentist about having a mouth guard fitted and it might be the best money and half an hour of your life that you’ll ever spend.
