Restoration is a very important when it comes to overcoming tooth decay, injury and even tooth loss. It can be vital to rebuild any damage done, as this will not only retain the future health of your mouth, but it can also help you to avoid further issues arising as well. In all of these cases, the method chosen by most people and dentists alike in central Leeds is a crown. Now if you have the money, the choice of material used in the making of your crown can be anything that you fancy, but there are generally three choices based on what work the crown has to do in common dental practise today. The first and probably the weakest is a full porcelain model: these can be made from colour coded porcelain to fit in with the general hue of your mouth, but are only usually fitted where they have very little work to do. A stronger version is the porcelain-over-metal crown: very strong it can cope with a lot of work and like the other version it will look incredibly natural when it is set into position. The other more common option is a crown made from gold; it is supremely strong and can handle most things that are thrown at it. But people like the affect that gold has in the mouth, and it is not unusual to find someone with a gold crown at the front right on full show.
Getting a crown fitted has been refined over the years and become a lot less painful, beneficial to the mouth, as well as restoring and maintaining the health of the mouths of the people in the city of Leeds- this is all down to the way dental technology has advanced immensely over the years and so it’s all about the ease of the way dentists treat their patients these days. Out of this has come the choice you have as a patient too. Having a crown fitted is the direct cause of tooth decay; once the tooth has become badly infected and in order to save it, the only treatment is a root canal. It’s not pretty reading, but to spare you the details, what the restorative treatment requires is for a crown to be after the tooth is cleared of any decay and infection. This is when you, the patient, are offered a choice of what type of crown you would like- although your dentist will give you guidance as to what you choose, depending where the decay has occurred. If it’s to the rear of the mouth, the best option is to have a gold crown or a porcelain-over-metal one that can take the chewing forces that go through the back of the mouth. But if the crown is at the front of the mouth, a pure porcelain fitting will be enough to maintain the health of your teeth and at the same time, restore the beautiful look to your smile. It’s quick and painless and you should consult with your dentist first about the treatment you are going to have to before making your choice.
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.
Bruxism is the activity of grinding your teeth during sleep. Although as common as snoring, bruxism can easily go unnoticed but it ought to be dealt with to avoid potentially serious complications with the teeth and jaw. Being sure to keep in regular contact with your dentist is a good way to guard against bruxism and its effects.
If you’re flying around the city of Leeds being busy, busy, busy, then there’s a good chance that you haven’t got the time to keep your teeth looking pretty….or have you? Because now you can get your teeth fixed and looking ‘Hollywoody’ in as little as an hour- thanks to Cerec treatment. In the past, if you opted for a crown or veneers to bring your smile up to scratch, it could take up to a month to get your treatment completed. You’d go and get analysed, impressions would be made of your teeth, your teeth prepared and fitted with false crowns, and then you’d wait until the new teeth came back from the lab. With Cerec, everything is done in one sitting. Thanks to computers and digital imaging, the work required can be carried out on the spot. Once the treatment is diagnosed, the veneer or crown can be manufactured in-house whilst the teeth are prepared and any other regular dental work carried out. The beauty of this treatment is that any problems that could arise in fitting, can be rectified immediately- and it can be combined with other treatments such as bleaching, meaning, that you could come out of the dentist with a completely new look to your mouth in the time it takes to have a dinner break in a busy work schedule. And….it costs pretty much the same as the original treatments!
Imagine being able to have your false tooth fitted in a single visit to your dentist. In the past this process could take a fortnight or more, but CEREC technology has changed all that, allowing dentists to design, construct and fit new crowns, veneers, onlays and underlays in just one session. Achieve lasting results with this efficient procedure available in the City of Leeds.
