What are the benefits of Damon braces for patients in Leeds?

Monday, February 17th, 2014

2445507_blogAre you thinking about getting braces? Are you worrying about painful braces or putting up with bulky or unattractive braces? If so, we have just the solution to ease your concerns. Damon Braces are a modern alternative to traditional fixed braces and they represent an amazing choice for patients who have more complex issues and require greater movement than those offered by cosmetic braces. Damon Braces use the latest technology to accelerate tooth movement and reduce pain and friction. Unlike conventional braces, these braces use self-ligating wires and sliding brackets to move the teeth very quickly without compromising on comfort. On average, you can expect treatment time to be around 4-6 months shorter than with conventional braces and what’s more, these braces are also smaller and more discreet, so you don’t need to worry about your image while you have treatment. Damon Braces are designed for patients who have major orthodontic issues, such as complex problems with the bite, severe crowding and large gaps between the teeth. In the past, these patients would only have had a choice of traditional fixed braces, as other appliances do not provide the support or movement required for complex prescriptions. Now though, patients with more severe needs can enjoy the benefits of modern treatment, as well as proven success of fixed braces. If you thought you had to wear unsightly braces for ages to get the smile of your dreams, think again; we can give you a gorgeous new smile in Leeds in no time!

Veneers for a truly dazzling smile in the city of Leeds

Sunday, February 16th, 2014

1567900_blogIf you’re a fan of reality television or you love to pore through the pages of glossy magazines, you will probably have spotted that all the people in the shows and photographs have perfect smiles. Now, you don’t need to be a top model or a TV star to have a flawless smile; we offer amazing veneer treatments in the centre of Leeds. Veneers are used to treat problems with the aesthetic of the teeth. They are very thin shells of porcelain or composite material, which are placed over the top of the natural teeth. There are many different shades and shapes of veneer available and also different systems to choose from, many of which have been featured on television makeover shows. The veneers are crafted with care and tailor-made to fit the contours of the natural teeth perfectly; the patient chooses the shape and shade to create their perfect smile and once the veneers are ready, they are placed over the top of the teeth and fixed into position. Before treatment, it is common to undergo a short procedure to prepare the teeth; this is nothing to worry about and it simply makes room for the new veneers. Your teeth will be number beforehand to stop you from feeling any pain. Veneers are most commonly recommended for people who have discoloured, chipped or worn teeth. If you’re after a truly dazzling smile in the centre of Leeds, look no further than veneer treatment at City Dental Leeds.

A new smile in a day? Is this really possible in the city of Leeds?

Tuesday, February 11th, 2014

1528196_blogIf somebody told you they could transform your smile in just one day, you would probably think they were selling an impossible dream, but the reality is that we can do just that, here in the heart of Leeds! Thanks to the amazing All-on-4 same-day teeth system, we can transform your smile and improve your quality of life no-end. All-on-4 is a dental implant treatment, which uses four dental implants to anchor a new set of teeth; usually, it takes at least 6 implants to support a full arch of new teeth, but this treatment makes uses of the dense bone tissue at the front of the mouth to provide optimum support; the dental implants are also placed at different angles to traditional implants, with the back two implants positioned at 45 degree angles, rather than a 90 degree angle. Traditionally, implant treatment takes several weeks; however, with this treatment, the new teeth can be fitted on the same day as the implants, so you really can start enjoying all the benefits of treatment straight away. All-on-4 is an innovative system, which provides solutions for patients who have a large number of missing teeth, as well as those who have experienced issues with dentures. The new teeth are anchored by implants, rather than the suction of the gums, there is no risk of irritation or slipping and the bite power of the teeth is much greater, enabling you to eat all the foods you like, rather than just those that are kind to your dentures.

Planting roots in your mouth with an Implant in Central Leeds

Thursday, January 30th, 2014

Beautifully HappyIf you find that you have lost some teeth of late in central Leeds- for whatever reason, you’ll need to fill in the hole again for both cosmetic and health reasons. Now if you are going to make a choice, you may as well go for broke and get the best option that is going to re-stabilise your mouth for life, and today that should be the dental implant. Once this little baby has been planted into the jawbone through quick and painless keyhole laser surgery, it will be strong and will be with you for life. Implants have rather made an incredible impact in overcoming tooth loss; it gives an incredible sense of freedom back to the wearer and anything that is attached to it is anchored firmly in the mouth. It can be used to house individual crowns, it works brilliantly in bridgework, for it helps to secure the fitting firmly into place, but for denture wearers it has been a godsend; half-a-dozen of small mini-implants located around the mouth will lock the dentures tightly up against the gums, leaving the wearer without fear of them falling out again. Implants procedures are widespread because they are so easy to put in place these days, so many dentists are able to do the job; in layman’s terms, it has seen the costs of performing the procedure drop. So come on, do yourself a favour and put that smile back on your face again- for ever!

Sense and Sensitivity to your Teeth in the City of Leeds

Wednesday, January 29th, 2014

3534882_blogThere are some conditions that can be a right pain in the mouth in the city of Leeds and one of them is if you suffer from sensitive teeth and it’s generally down to the exposure of the softer tissue of the teeth. This can be down to many things: over excitable brushing can wear away at the enamel and when exposed to hot and cold temperatures, you will get short, sharp shooting pains; as it is if you suffering from receding gums caused by gum disease. Teeth grinding is very destructive to the surfaces and will wear away the enamel if it isn’t dealt with. Tooth decay can also leave the teeth feeling sensitive whenever they are touched by anything; cracked or chipped teeth will also leave the teeth sore, and they can feel fragile after they have been worked on by your dentist. The first thing to do is to get your teeth looked at to identify the problem; the dentist can then get to work on them accordingly. Having fluoride treatments and using a fluoride mouthwash will help to re-mineralise the enamel and make it stronger. Switching to sensitive toothpaste and to a softer brush will help tremendously and you should see results after just a few days if the cause of the sensitivity isn’t serious. Lay off sugar based foods and drinks as they will rot the teeth quickly. But be aware that this type of problem is a cautionary tale and you need to care for your teeth better in the future otherwise you might find yourself in serious trouble.

Kicking back at Tooth Decay in Central Leeds

Monday, January 27th, 2014

464425_blogIf there is one thing that you are never going to avoid at some point in your life in central Leeds, it’s tooth decay. The problem is a result of a combination of things- bacteria, plaque, poor oral hygiene and failure to see your dentist. Bacteria will settle around your teeth, making it a strong possibility that plaque and tartar will breakout; the acids from these will soon start eating away at the teeth’s enamel. Caries may form and if it continues, these will eat through and infect the pulp and roots inside. This is why you should always be on the ball with your oral hygiene and remove these acids the best you can so that you ensure things don’t reach this level- and you’ll know if they do because your teeth will suffer from shooting pains whenever they come into contact with anything. If you also keep visiting your dentist, the early signs of tooth decay will be spotted and treated accordingly. If you get the problem in its early stages, your dentist may only need to administer you a filling, but a root canal will be required if the inside becomes infected. There is another more dangerous aspect to tooth decay; if you simply ignore it, you run the risk of getting an abscess and this is a dangerous condition that you will want to avoid, for in some cases they have proved to be fatal.

Is it true- Invisible Braces? Yes please says Leeds!

Saturday, January 25th, 2014

4207449_blogAs anyone that has had a mouthful of metal shoved into their mouth will tell you, one of the greatest issues to overcome with getting your teeth straightened is one of vanity: though fixed braces do a great job, in the past they could look quite ugly and you could go through years of insults and ribbing. Many fixed braces use more subtle materials today for discretion, but if you want complete anonymity when getting your teeth aligned, take a look at some of the transparent aligners on offer: made from clear plastic, they are also removable for hygiene and they work faster than traditional braces, but also remember they will be very hard to spot in the mouth- which is probably their biggest asset of all. There is also another technique which is also invisible to the outside world- lingual braces. These are fixed braces but what sets them aside from others of their type is that they are fitted to the inside of the teeth, which means you can’t see them at all! Shop around; talk to your dentist in Leeds and also, go on-line and find out all you can about these orthodontic options. Having braces and aligners like these fitted will help to avoid the jibes and retain your confidence through which can be a traumatic time in your life.

Why you needn’t fear Root Canals in Central Leeds anymore

Friday, January 24th, 2014

585811_blogIt is very easy to fall off the wagon and ignore your oral hygiene in an effervescent party-place like central Leeds- at least you’re having fun eh? But if you continue to do this and don’t look after your teeth and gums properly, they will bite back at you in the form of tooth decay. This will start by your teeth becoming sensitive and painful to the touch- get in now and a filling will suffice; leave it and the acids will break through the enamel and poison the inside of your teeth. If this happens, you will need root canal treatment to clear out the rotten rubbish inside your tooth, and the very mention of this procedure can conjure up horrible images for some people. It involves the dentist removing first the pulp and then the roots so that the tooth is completely free of all the infected matter within. Once this is done, then the tooth can be refilled, crowned and ultimately saved. Now in the past this was a spiteful and nasty little operation done with drills and possibly scalpels if the roots were complex, but fear ye not folks. Laser surgery has taken over from the drills and scalpels and the whole process can be done quickly and painlessly these days…but here’s the thing- try to look after your teeth in the future and avoid this procedure in the first place!

Lovely Lasers in Leeds

Sunday, January 19th, 2014

585986_blogIf anything has come along to ease the worries and fears of any patient who has to have something done at dentists in Leeds, it’s the laser. Since this was introduced in the nineties, it has revolutionised all range of procedures in the surgery. It doesn’t have the bone shattering affect that a drill has, nor does it do the damage left by using a scalpel. It is also far less painful than these traditional techniques and has greatly reduced the need to use anaesthetics during treatments. The applications of the laser are amazing: it can be used with pinpoint accuracy to place dental implants and doing tricky jobs like root canals. Lasers can burn at tissue efficiently in order to tackle wisdom teeth that are submerged, remove tissue that is blighted by gum disease and is exceptional for shaping excess gums; it is also brilliant when used for teeth whitening techniques. The reason why this technique is the new kid on the block is because it does so little damage to gum tissue, the teeth and to the bone; this means that healing afterwards is fast and less traumatic. If you are in trouble and things in your mouth are playing you up, find a dentist who uses this type of equipment because you will never want to go back to the bad old days of the drill and scalpel- once bitten, you’ll be smitten!

CAD/CAM Technology in the Central Leeds

Saturday, January 18th, 2014

4070440_blogIt sometimes takes your breath away at just how far dental treatments have come since the joy of computers hit the surgeries in central Leeds and in fact, all over the world. They have revolutionised dental procedures and you can be treated so fast these days; CAD/CAM technology epitomises this. If you are in need of a crown, a veneer or two, a new implant fitting or a dental bridge, this would normally take a couple of weeks to make and then fit, and should it go wrong, the fitting would have to be sent off again to be adjusted. With CAD/CAM, everything is done in-house and all of this can be done on the spot- even if something goes wrong; on average, most of these fittings can be designed, made and fitted in around the hour- perfect if you have little time to spare in a busy day. You go in there and have your mouth prepared and then digitally imaged; these pictures are sent to a computer programme that designs that part you need. This info is now sent to a milling machine next door which will create your fitting from a block of ceramics or resin. It will fire the fitting and glaze it to suit the colour of the rest of your teeth. Then it is simply cemented into place….that’s it, a beautifully restored smile in next to no time- blooming marvellous eh?
