Throw Away Loose Dentures and Say Hello to Implants!

Friday, September 16th, 2016

3177025_blogDentures have served people well for decades, but they are not always completely trouble-free and if you’ve had issues with dentures and are looking for an alternative, we may have just the treatment you’ve been searching for. Dental implants are becoming increasingly popular and they offer a long-term solution for tooth loss and a remedy for many of the problems commonly experienced by denture wearers.

Everything you need to know about dental implants

Dental implants are revolutionary dental treatment that is fast becoming the treatment of choice for patients who have lost a single tooth or multiple teeth. Implants are made from titanium and they look similar to a small screw. They are implanted into the jaw bone as a means of replacing the root of the missing tooth. Titanium is used because it is strong and it is also biocompatible, which allows the tooth to integrate into the bone. This means that the new root can provide the same level of stability as a natural root.

Once the tooth root has been replaced, we can then set about replacing the visible part of the tooth. Implants are compatible with dentures, dental bridges and single crowns, so we can use them to replace single teeth or multiple teeth. Once the new restoration has been attached, your new smile will be complete and you can enjoy the same aesthetics and level of functionality as you had before with your natural teeth.

How long does implant treatment take?

Usually, implant treatment takes a few months, as it takes time for the implants to integrate. However, we are able to offer All-on-4 treatment, which is a same-day treatment suitable for patients who require a large number of new teeth. Call us now to arrange a consultation and discuss options with our friendly and experienced dentists.

Looking for a Long-Term Solution to Missing Teeth?

Monday, May 16th, 2016

2433646_sAt 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.

Get Your Smile Back for the New Year with Dental Implants

Wednesday, December 16th, 2015

2433646_sThe best way to start a New Year is with a beaming, bright smile on your face and with our dental implants, we can ensure you start 2016 in style. Dental implants are designed to replace the root section of a missing tooth. Implants are a long-term solution for tooth loss and are a viable option for most patients with missing teeth.

Everything you need to know about dental implants

Dental implants are rods made from titanium. They are implanted into the jawbone to take on the role of the missing tooth root. Titanium is used because it is a bio-compatible material. This enables the implant to fuse into the actual bone tissue, providing optimum stability for the new tooth. The process of osseointegration can take up to 8 months and once this is complete, the head of the implant is attached to a dental bridge, crown or denture and the crown section, the visible part of the tooth, is replaced.

Implant treatment is suited to many people with missing teeth. As implants are compatible with a range of different types of restoration, they can be used to replace a single lost tooth or multiple teeth.

How could implants benefit me?

There are countless benefits of replacing missing teeth, from improved oral health and clearer speech, to improved ability to eat and the obvious aesthetic benefits of a healthy looking, beautiful smile. Implants are a long-term solution and represent a long-term investment.

With implants, you will feel and look like you have your natural teeth back and you can enjoy greater confidence when you smile, speak or eat in public.

If you like the sound of implant treatment and would like to find out more about this incredible innovation in Leeds, call us now!

Dental Implants for the Replacement of Missing Teeth

Monday, September 28th, 2015

iStock_000001998629XSmallDental 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.

For more information please call City Dental Leeds.

How a little Dental Implant can restore your smile again in Central Leeds

Monday, October 14th, 2013

iStock_000001998629XSmallOf all of the ways to overcome the problem of tooth loss in central Leeds, you couldn’t find any better than having a dental implant fitted in order to restore the health and look to your mouth. This is a routine operation these days; all it takes is to have a laser burn a small hole through the gums and then into the jawbone. This isn’t as harsh as it sounds and because it is so quick, the implant can be screwed in after seconds of the hole being made. Recovery will be quick and once this little ‘root’ is in place, it will offer great anchorage to any fitting that is attached to it- dentures, bridges or crowns. The thing about an implant is that it is very strong and robust, free of infection once it has settled down and once it is in place, it will be helping out with your problem of tooth-loss for the rest of your life. To put your mind at rest about this treatment though, and what cost is involved, you need to sit down and talk it through- preferably with your dentist. The more you learn, the more your mind will be put at rest when it comes to having this procedure done.

Get Back your Bite with Dental Implants from Leeds Dentist

Tuesday, July 31st, 2012

When you are missing several teeth if becomes impossible to install bridges. For many people dentures are a lot of work. This leaves dental implants as the best possibility for replacing a number of missing teeth. Dental implants are permanent and will last many, many years since they are often made of titanium. Implants have the advantage of have removable attachments which allow the exposed area of the artificial tooth to be replaced easily and conveniently whenever it is necessary.

The decision to get implants should not be taken lightly and should involve a consultation with your Leeds dentist to make sure the procedure is the best for you. It is hard to reverse a dental implant, and so once they are inserted they need to stay put. Implants are screwed directly into your jaw bone and become bonded with the surrounding living material, making extraction very difficult. But the great advantage is an extremely strong connection between tooth line and whatever type of false tooth that you want to attach to the top.

The procedure will likely be fairly long and the recovery may involve several weeks of discomfort. The rewards though may change your life. You will not have to worry about removing your dentures and you will not need to worry about the eventually degradation of other ‘permanent’ dental features. At your next check up ask your dentist whether implants may be right for you.
