Veneers are a versatile means to correct many dental defects from a chipped tooth to excessive spacing between teeth or discolouration. Rest assured, your dentist in Central Leeds is able to replace veneers more than once.
Composite resin veneers typically last three to five years and may require several replacements over a patient’s lifetime. Thus, the replacement for this type of veneer is easily done. Minor issues with the veneer may even be fixed through simple repair rather than total replacement.
Replacement becomes more complicated with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are designed to be more durable and are of a better quality than composite resin veneers. Porcelain veneers typically last from ten to fifteen years and with proper maintenance, should give you no problems. However, if your porcelain veneers break, they cannot be repaired with the ease of composite resin veneers and must be replaced altogether.
One replacement for porcelain veneers is done relatively easily, but, because porcelain veneers require your natural teeth to be trimmed for a custom fitting, a second or third replacement may require building up your trimmed teeth with a bonding material and trimming them again for a custom fit. This extra step is time consuming, but will in no way hinder your new porcelain veneers.
Veneers are a flexible solution to many unsightly dental issues. Speak to your dentist to learn more about this beneficial procedure.
Having the perfect smile is something that most people would say they would like. It is one of the first things that people notice about you and can affect the initial impressions you make on someone when meeting them for the first time. What to do then if you have a cracked or chipped tooth and are worried about how it looks?
If you have a cracked, chipped or stained tooth there is no need to simply accept it and be ashamed of it. There are things you can do to improve the look of your smile, dental procedures that are efficient and effective. You should ask your Central Leeds dentists about porcelain veneers and they might improve your smile, allowing you to relax in social situations.
If you have a broken down, chipped or cracked tooth you are probably anxious about dealing with it so that you can improve the look of your smile. But what is the best option when dentists offer such a variety of procedures? One to consider is having a dental crown fitted to effectively cover it up, allowing to smile once more with pride and relax in social situations.
Having a perfectly sparkling, white smile can give your confidence a great boost. Just think of how much easier social occasions are when you can smile with pride and show off your teeth. Unfortunately, many of us have dull, stained or chipped, broken down teeth and this might lead to you hiding your smile away.
It’s very easy in Leeds to get drawn into the lure of having to get expensive dental treatment to restore that wonderful smile to your mouth when, frankly, it’s not always necessary and there are a lot cheaper and less complicated methods out there to fix your teeth. It’s great to have a healthy and good looking mouth and it can be a great source of self esteem and confidence, but over time, teeth can start to look tired; they can get chipped or cracked, decay can set, gaps can appear, teeth can become stained. This could be the time to consider cosmetic bonding. Much of the treatment can be carried out with a local anaesthetic, using resins to repair any damage. Once the problem area is diagnosed, it is treated with an etching solution and then a series of resin layers are built up on the tooth until restored. Finally the tooth/teeth are sculptured and polished. The beauty of this treatment is not only its simplicity, but the cost. Choosing cosmetic bonding can come in at a third of the price, avoiding the more expensive options of veneers or crowns. It can restore the niggling little looks in the mouth and can be used to replace those more ‘uglier’ silver fillings.
A discoloured tooth is a big problem, especially if the tooth is right in front of your face. People who have this problem are hesitant to smile because they do not want others looking at it.
A chipped tooth can be a source of immense problem to you if it is left untreated. Teeth are made of very hard material, but improper use can cause them to chip and crack. If you eat foods that are very hard, such as corn kernels or ice, one wrong bite can cause your tooth to chip. A popular Leeds dentist says that people have a tendency to ignore this problem as being very minor. However, in actuality it can easily escalate to a bigger problem.
A dental emergency, like any medical emergency can have potentially serious long-term consequences if not treated correctly and quickly. By ignoring or avoiding treatment you could put yourself at risk of much more extensive and costly treatment in the future.
When a tooth is chipped, cracked or broken, either by sporting injury or some other kind of head trauma, it can be very painful. But the pain may last longer than just the original injury and may require extensive dental treatment to prevent further damage to the tooth. The dentist will first try to fix the tooth using composite dental bonding. If the damage is too severe to fix with resin the tooth may need a crown to protect it and restore its structural integrity.
