Top Four Tips for Protecting Your Veneers

Sunday, January 10th, 2021

shutterstock_398174743When you’ve got a stunning smile thanks to a set of beautiful veneers, the last thing you want is to damage or stain them. Here are four top tips to help you protect your veneers.

  1. See your dentist for regular check-ups: regular check-ups are important for all patients. When you come and see us, your dentist will have a thorough look in your mouth, and check your veneers. Although it’s not possible for the veneers to decay, it is possible for your natural teeth to become decayed, so routine checks are highly recommended.
  2. Brush twice a day: looking after your veneers is very similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, and be gentle when you move your brush around your mouth. Take care to spend at least 2 minutes cleaning your teeth day and night, and to cover each individual tooth.
  3. Avoiding staining: you want your smile to look beautiful and bright for years to come, so try and prevent staining. Some veneers are stain-resistant, but others will start to show the signs of discolouration if you don’t brush frequently and you’re partial to coffee, tea, cola or wine. If you are drinking something with a strong colour, use a straw.
  4. Avoid abrasive toothpaste: abrasive toothpastes can sometimes be used to remove satins, but they can be harmful for the natural enamel and also for veneers.

If you have any questions about looking after your veneers, or you’d like some tips, call us and our dental team will be happy to advise you.

Did you know Veneers could Transform your Smile Dramatically?

Thursday, June 1st, 2017

shutterstock_571312708In this day and age, we’re bombarded by images of people with perfect smiles. Whether you’re watching a film or browsing your news feed on Instagram, there are flawless sets of pearly whites everywhere. In the past, veneers were associated with celebrities, but today, they are accessible to all. If you dream of a bright white, beautiful smile, we can make your dreams come true, right here in the centre of Leeds.

About veneers

Veneers are tooth-shaped pieces of incredibly fine laminated ceramic material (usually porcelain), which are fixed onto the surfaces of the natural teeth. Each veneer is fitted individually, and the outcome is a stunning new smile. As well as porcelain veneers, we also offer Componeers, which are a cheaper option. Componeers can be bonded directly onto the teeth and they are composed of a mixture of materials, including composite. If you’re worried about the cost of porcelain veneers and you want results fast, Componeers may be the best solution for you.

Veneers are very versatile and they can be used to treat a multitude of imperfections. Very few people have naturally perfect teeth, but you don’t have to let chips, worn surfaces, discolouration or gaps between your teeth get you down. With veneers, we can transform your smile dramatically and make you feel much more confident when your pearly whites are on show.

What does veneer treatment involve?

If you’re interested in veneers, the first thing we recommend is booking a consultation. During your consultation, we’ll give you all the information you could possibly need about veneers and answer any questions you have. We’ll also examine your teeth and have a chat with you about what your dream outcome would be. We can also show you some images of smiles we have created using veneer treatment. If you choose to go ahead and have veneers, we can usually complete treatment in two sessions. During the first, we’ll prepare your teeth and create impressions, and when your veneers are ready, we’ll invite you back and secure them onto your teeth.

Componeers are a type of veneer, which is made from dental composite, rather than ceramics like porcelain.

These veneers are also significantly less expensive than traditional porcelain veneers, and the structure of the tooth remains intact, as minimal preparation is required. Your dentist will design a smile that looks natural and radiant, and you won’t have to worry about wonky teeth any longer.

Componeers are pre-fabricated in Switzerland, and they are available in an array of shades, shapes and sizes. This means that, as the patient, you can get involved in designing your new smile by working with your dentist to select the perfect Componeers.

Who can benefit from Componeers?

Almost anyone who has concerns about the aesthetic appeal of their teeth can benefit from Componeers. This treatment offers a solution for those who don’t have perfectly aligned teeth, as well as those who have stained or discoloured teeth, chips or uneven edges.

If you like the sound of a straight smile without the need for braces, and you’d like to find out more about Componeers at City Dental Leeds, call us today to make an appointment for a consultation. Your incredible new smile could be just days away!

Are There Cheaper Alternatives To Veneers?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2015

1050560_blogVeneers are often associated with the rich and famous and although prices are more competitive than ever before, there may be some cheaper solutions worth considering if you are eager to improve the look of your smile.

About veneers

Veneers are light tooth-shaped shells, which are usually made from porcelain; they are placed on your natural teeth to hide a wide range of cosmetic flaws, from uneven and worn down teeth to chips and staining. There are various different types of veneers available and you can customise your new look by selecting different shades and shapes. Veneer treatment usually involves 2 or 3 sessions around 2-4 weeks apart.

What are the alternatives?

The alternative options tend to depend on why you are thinking about veneers and what kinds of aesthetic issues you wish to address. If you have discoloured teeth, for example, tooth whitening is a more affordable option than veneers. There are different types of whitening treatment available, including home whitening systems and in-chair treatments and the cost is usually around £100-£600. Treatment is usually completed in around 2 weeks, the results are visible straightaway and they should last for several years. Whitening treatment is a safe, simple and painless way of giving your smile that added sparkle.

If you have chipped, worn or misshapen teeth, which look unsightly, you may wish to think about cosmetic bonding, also known as composite bonding. This procedure takes just one hour and it’s painless, so you won’t need to worry about injections or that horrible numb feeling in your mouth. Bonding can be used to reshape and repair the teeth and also to reduce the size of spaces between the teeth as a cheaper alternative to orthodontic braces. Your dentist will use dental composite, which is also used to fill cavities, to carry out minor repairs and adjustments; at room temperature, the composite is soft and this means that it can be shaped easily. When your dentist is happy with the placement of the composite, they will then harden it using a curing light; this only takes a minute and all you have to do is wear some protective goggles and relax. The average cost is around £60-£120.

Porcelain Veneers Add A Celebrity Edge To Your Smile

Friday, August 28th, 2015

2904346_blogIf you’re one of the many people who admire the perfectly straight, bright white smiles often sported by celebrities posing for red carpet shots, you may be pleased to hear that a flawless smile is now accessible to all. Gone are the days of cosmetic dental treatment being available to the rich and famous; now, you can have an amazing smile without needing a diary full of premieres to attend. With porcelain veneers, you can achieve that amazing celebrity look in no time at all.

About porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are incredibly thin sheets of laminated porcelain, which are shaped to mimic natural teeth; they are applied to the natural teeth to create a new smile. Porcelain is an ideal material because it looks similar to healthy, radiant tooth enamel and it is hard-wearing and durable.

Veneer treatment usually involves 2-3 treatment sessions including a consultation, which is used to chat about treatment, design your new smile and plan your treatment. Once you have decided what kind of look you would like to go for and chosen the shape and shade of your veneers, your dentist will prepare your teeth in order to make room for your veneers and ensure they bond properly. The preparation stage is nothing to worry about and it simply involves taking away a very fine layer of the tooth structure and etching the surface of the tooth. Impressions of your teeth will be created and these are sent away to the laboratory; here, highly skilled dental technicians will use them as moulds for your brand new veneers. Once your veneers are ready, they will be placed on your teeth and then fixed firmly into position; they should last for several years, but you will need to take good care of them.

Why would I consider veneers?

Veneers are known for creating stunning smiles and they are a versatile option; they can provide a solution for a number of common cosmetic issues, including chips, worn edges, misshapen teeth, staining and gaps between the teeth.
