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?
Dental veneers might just be the answer to your problems. They are basically thin strips of porcelain which can be affixed to the front of a tooth, covering up any unsightly parts which you want to conceal. The fact that they are made from porcelain means that they can be incredible thin without compromising in terms of durability.
The modern technology which is increasingly found in dental surgeries around the country means that dental veneers can be fitted incredibly swiftly. CEREC techniques, for example, allow your dentist to take a three dimensional digital image or x-ray of your mouth. The data can then be sent to an online milling machine which sculpts to dental veneers in just six minutes, ready to be fitted.
Your dentist can match the dental veneer to your surrounding teeth in terms of colour, shade and texture and even your closest intimates won’t be able to notice that you have a thin layer of porcelain covering one of your teeth. The only thing they will notice is how good your smile looks.
Thanks to repayment plans that are often interest free, procedures like having a dental veneer fitted are increasingly affordable. If you are interested and would like to know more talk to your Central Leeds dentist next time you are at the surgery or make an appointment. Dental veneers might be just what you have been looking for.
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.
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.
All dentists have a keen interest in sports. Not necessarily because they enjoy them but because so many of their patients damage their teeth while playing them. Knocked out, cracked and chipped tooth have been the result of sporting injuries as long as there have been sporting injuries and all dentists are very familiar with the prop forward, or opening batsman coming into surgery clutching a knocked out tooth.
Some of the most common dental injuries occur when patients crack or break a tooth. This often happens while undertaking physical activity or can be the result of a head trauma, such as a car crash. Apart from being painful, these types of dental injury can also need complex cosmetic dental procedures to fix them. With cracks and breaks, dental bonding and fillings are sometimes insufficient, especially if the injury is quite severe, and in these instances a dental crown is the only option to save the tooth.
