What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a combination of dental treatments designed to create an incredible new smile. All our smile makeovers are bespoke, so every one is different. We select treatments based on a number of factors, including your oral health status, your treatment aims, your budget and whether you have any preferences or requirements, such as a limited time-frame, for example.

Using the latest dental treatments, we can transform even the most unsightly teeth into a radiant new smile – a gift nobody would turn down at Christmas.

Smile makeover treatments

We have an extensive array of treatments on offer, all of which may be included in a custom-designed smile makeover. Popular options include:

  • teeth whitening
  • bridges and crowns

We tailor each makeover to suit the needs and preferences of the individual and are thorough during the planning stage to ensure we get everything just right. Using smile imaging, we can show you how different treatments would affect the aesthetic of your smile and then create a digital impression of what your smile will look like once treatment has finished and your makeover is complete.

Gum Contouring Available from Central Leeds Dentist

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

Gum contouring is a relatively new procedure that allows the reshaping of someone’s gum with the purpose of showing less of it when they smile. Gummy smiles affect a lot of people, while many have no problems, other may want it to be altered, it is an individual decision for each person and you should spend time thinking it through if you are considering it.

With a local anaesthetic, your dentist will make an incision above your gum line. Your gum line can then be moved further down (or up in the case of the bottom) the teeth. Above the gum line the root of your teeth are now exposed. Removing a piece of the lining of your mouth your dentist is able to transplant that piece of soft tissue into this new gap. Since the procedure is done very quickly all the tissue remains alive and will, with time, reconnect into a single piece of tissue as the blood vessels develop. After a recovery period your gums will look completely natural, the transplanted piece of soft tissue will be indistinguishable from the rest of your gums.

When recovering it is important to brush the gum line very gently, as to not slow the healing process. Smoking should be forgone during the recovery period due to the highly increased risk of infection. For a few weeks there may be some mild inflammation and tenderness of the gums, your dentist may prescribe you medication if they deem it necessary. Your Central Leeds dental practice will be able to answer all your questions regarding gum contouring and help you decide with the process if right for you.
