The Brilliant Benefits of All-on-4

Thursday, September 8th, 2016

All-on-4 is a breakthrough dental implant treatment that allows you to enjoy a fully functional, radiant smile in a single day!

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a dental implant system that uses four dental implants to support a full arch of new teeth. The implants are fitted on the same day as the new teeth, so you can enjoy your new smile immediately.

The All-on-4 system differs to traditional implant treatment in two key areas. Usually, between 6 and 10 implants are used to support a full arch of teeth and treatment time for traditional implants is much longer, at around 3-8 months.

How does All-on-4 work?

All-on-4 works because the implants are placed in specific areas of the jaw and at different angles. Traditionally, implants are placed in sockets in the jaw at 90 degree angles, but with All-on-4, two implants are placed at the front of the mouth, with the other two located at the back. The front implants, which made use of the dense bone tissue at the front of the jaw, are placed at 90 degree angles, while the back implants are positioned at a 45 degree angle.

How does All-on-4 benefit patients?

All-on-4 dental implants provide patients with numerous benefits, from improved oral function and enhanced bite power, to amazing aesthetics and peace of mind. This treatment is beneficial for most patients with a large number of missing teeth, as well as those who have had problems with dentures in the past.

One major benefit of All-on-4 is the speed of treatment; rather than waiting for months to enjoy the results of treatment, All-on-4 patients are able to enjoy their new smile after just one appointment. The actual procedure to fit the implants is also less invasive, as fewer implants are required.

Looking for a Long-Term Solution to Missing Teeth?

Monday, May 16th, 2016

At City Dental we offer a range of tooth replacement treatments, including natural-looking dental implants.

Dental implants represent a long-term solution for lost teeth and they enable you to enjoy all the same benefits of a strong and healthy natural tooth.

All about dental implants

Dental implants are made from titanium and their purpose is to replace the root of a missing tooth. The implant sits in a socket in the jaw bone and is able to become part of the bone tissue thanks to a process called osseointegration.

Once the process is complete, a new restoration can be attached and this replaces the crown section of the tooth. One of the many benefits of dental implants is that they are compatible with a range of different restorations and this means they are suitable for most patients.

Implant treatment takes between three and nine months and the result is a natural looking, strong and functional new tooth or set of teeth.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants are the best long-term option for replacing missing teeth and they also offer many additional benefits, including excellent aesthetics, enhanced bite power and durability. Implants are easy to maintain and act like natural teeth, so you have complete peace of mind and can enjoy eating and socialising with confidence. Implants also help to reduce bone loss and they can be fitted to crowns, dentures or a dental bridge, making them hugely versatile.

Restorative Treatment to the Rescue!

Friday, October 9th, 2015

As we walk through life experiencing a high quantity of events that might test us mentally and physically, these predicaments become troublesome at times. What to do in a particular situation might prove to be horrifically difficult. However, when it comes to a dental predicament that is not at all desirable, it could cause further issues if not treated in time. If the issues are really serious, then restorative treatment is often required.

Restorative treatment is simply what it says – forms of treatment that can help the patient achieve the fantastic smile they once had. There are various types of dental procedures in this category.

Implants

Used to substitute the natural tooth with a singular or several teeth, the roots to the dental implant are synthetic with a replacement crown placed on top. If correctly looked after, dental implants can last for the rest of the patient’s’ life.

Full mouth reconstruction

For patients who need several forms of treatment in order to resolve their dental issues, diagnosing the teeth properly will allow for the dentist to fully determine what exact treatment is required. These steps are then relayed to the patient so they know precisely what is going to happen.

Bridges

During the patient’s first appointment, the gap is filled by a crown which allows for the dentist to gain a physical impression of what bridge the patient requires. On the second visit, a dental bridge is then fused to the patient’s natural teeth so a complete smile is created for them. In between these appointments, a temporary bridge will be worn by the patient.

Dental Implants for the Replacement of Missing Teeth

Monday, September 28th, 2015

Dental implants are a perfect and permanent way to replace missing teeth without the difficulty often associated with dentures. As dentures are prone to slip and slide whilst eating or talking, especially on the lower jaw, dental implants are the best alternative, using titanium anchors to stabilise your dental restorative.

Dental implants make your dentures stable, more comfortable and easy to use, giving you a perfect smile and your confidence back.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

The main benefit of dental implants is that they can last a person a whole lifetime. Dental implants will replace any missing or damaged teeth and look just as real as the surrounding healthy teeth without damaging any of them. In fact they do the complete opposite, as dental implants can assist with preserving the adjacent bone and gum tissue, which is usually worn down with the use of traditional dentures.

What happens during the dental implant procedure?

The procedure for placing dental implants involves surgically placing implant titanium anchors into the jawbone of the patient. These anchors will then function like the natural root of the tooth and after a sufficient amount of time has passed the anchors will bond with the bone and gum tissue surrounding them. Studs are then attached to the anchors, so when the gum and bone has healed natural looking crowns, dentures or bridges can be attached to the studs to give you back that confidence-boosting smile.

Once this is done you continue living just the way you did with your original teeth and wont have to suffer the problems that come with dentures such as eating certain food, as these teeth are just as good as natural teeth.

Why We Use Osteocare Dental Implants

Saturday, February 14th, 2015

Dental implants have revolutionised tooth replacement treatment and they offer a range of attractive benefits for people of all ages. At City Dental Leeds, we are proud to use Osteocare dental implants.

About Osteocare dental implants

Osteocare dental implants are made in Britain and they offer reliability, durability and efficacy. These implants have a very high success rate of between 90 and 95 per cent, they are compatible with a range of restorations and they are built to last. Osteocare implants can also be used as same-day treatments in around 75 per cent of cases, as they can be placed in a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require the creation of a gum flap. As the procedure is less invasive than other implant treatments, the cost of treatment is also lower, offering you a cost-effective solution for missing teeth.

What’s so good about dental implants?

It’s no understatement to say that dental implants have taken the world by storm and this is largely due to the fact that they offer such an extensive range of benefits to patients of any age. Implants are currently the closest match to a natural tooth on the market and they also last a lot longer than bridges and dentures.

Dental implants are small prostheses, which are made from titanium. They are placed inside sockets in the jaw bone to take on the role of the tooth root. Once they are settled, the implants can be connected to a bridge, denture or crown and the smile will look incredible.

As well as providing longevity, implants also boast natural aesthetics, ease of use and simple maintenance and they provide optimum stability ready for the new restoration, which replaces the tooth crown. You look after implants in the same way as you would natural teeth, so you don’t need to worry about learning new cleaning regimes. Implants can also help to reduce bone loss.

If you think dental implants would be the perfect solution for you, call now and book a consultation. Our expert dentists will be able to tell you more about the treatment, explain how it works and how it could benefit you and talk to you about other options open to you.

How Dental Implants Can Benefit People in Leeds

Saturday, March 15th, 2014

Dentists recommend replacing missing teeth for a number of reason, not least because gaps can affect your ability to enjoy a wide range of foods and decrease your confidence. Dental implants have taken the world by storm and now we are offering the dental patients of Leeds the opportunity to take advantage of this amazing treatment.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are prosthetic dental devices, which are designed to replace the root of a missing tooth. Implants are made from titanium and they are implanted into small holes in the jaw bone before being connected to a restoration, such as a crown, which replaces the rest of the tooth. In order to settle into the bone, the implant goes through a process called osseointegration, which takes a number of weeks.

Implants have a wide host of benefits for dental patients of all ages, from young people with a single missing tooth, to older people who have full arches of missing teeth. Implants can be attached to crowns, dental bridges and dentures, making them hugely versatile and they are the closest treatment to natural teeth on the market. Once the implants are in place and the new restoration has been attached, you can eat, speak and smile with confidence and the best thing is that your implants should last a lifetime.
