See What It’s Like To Have A Brand New Leeds Cerec Smile

Saturday, September 6th, 2014

iStock_000000363253XSmallIf you’re searching for an example to demonstrate how amazing modern dentistry is, look no further than Cerec. Allow us to tell you just how great this technology is!

What is Cerec?

Cerec is a form of technology, which has revolutionised the way dentists provide restorative treatment for their patients. Traditionally, dentists send impressions of the teeth away to dental technicians and then fit new restorations around 2 weeks later, but with Cerec, we can complete the entire process, from the design concept to the finished result, in just a single day. Cerec also enables us to do everything on-site, which means that the process is easy, convenient and very quick.

With Cerec technology, images of the teeth are converted into 3D models, which are sent across to the milling machine; the milling process takes minutes and once it is complete, the new restoration can be fitted.

Cerec enables us to create bespoke crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers without the need for temporary restorations, putty moulds or waiting around for 2 weeks.

How can Cerec benefit me?

Cerec is hugely beneficial for any patient that needs restorative treatment. The treatment process is incredibly convenient and quick, there’s no need to find time for repeat appointments and you can have the permanent restoration fitted straightaway. The process is more accurate and it affords dentists and patients more influence in the design stage.

If you would like to find out more about Cerec or book an appointment for a new crown, call us today or bob in and see us if you’re planning to head into Leeds in the near future.

You Could Be A Classy Lass With Super LS1 Veneers

Tuesday, July 29th, 2014

529808_blogHave you ever seen somebody with a flawless smile and wished you could have the same perfect pearly whites? Well now you can! If you long for a TOWIE style makeover, a Hollywood worthy smile or a beautiful natural look, our veneer treatments are just the solution you’ve been searching for.

About veneers

Veneers are extremely thin shells, which are placed over your teeth to create a beautiful, gleaming smile. In most cases, veneers are made from ceramics, including porcelain, and they have a beautiful sheen and a lovely white shade. There are different colours and shapes available and you can choose the veneers, which best suit your idea of the perfect smile. Some patients love the all-out glamour of the Hollywood style bright white smile, while others prefer the subtlety of a more natural look.

Veneers are an excellent option for anyone who wants to turn their dull, stained or worn teeth into a radiant smile and they can also be really beneficial for those who have aesthetic problems, such as chipped or irregularly shaped teeth and gaps between the teeth.

Veneer treatment usually involves 3 key stages. During the first stage, we will plan your treatment and choose your veneers and we can show you images of what we expect your new smile to look like. The second stage involves preparing the teeth; this is a simple procedure, which is designed to create space for the new veneers by removing a wafer-thin layer of tooth surface. Once this has been done, we create an impression of the teeth and this is used to create your brand new, bespoke veneers. The final stage is to fit your veneers; we will place them over your teeth and check that you are happy with the result before bonding them onto the teeth. Once this session is complete, it’s time for you to get out there and show your new smile off to the world!

Gappy Smiles Are A Distant Memory Here In Heartland Leeds

Monday, June 23rd, 2014

221838_blogYour smile is often the first thing people notice about you and an important part of your appearance, so it’s natural to want it to look beautiful. Few people are blessed with naturally flawless smiles, but we have solutions for almost any issue you could possibly imagine and a perfect smile is never beyond the realms of possibility. Whether your teeth are crowded or crooked, you have staining or you have a gappy smile, we have treatments available to transform your teeth into a radiant set of pearly whites.

What can we do for a gappy smile?

A gappy smile is a term used when there are spaces between the teeth. Although there are often no symptoms associated with a gappy smile, there are aesthetic implications and this can affect confidence.

We have various options available to treat a gappy smile, including veneers, composite bonding and orthodontic treatments.

Composite bonding: this is a very effective and simple procedure, which can be used to build up worn tooth surfaces, close gaps between the smile and patch up chipped teeth. It involves using dental composite, which is the material used for white fillings. To begin with, the composite is soft and this means that dentists can shape and bend it to fit the gaps; when they are happy with the look of the teeth, the composite is then set firm using a powerful light source.

Veneers: veneers are an effective means of covering gaps between the teeth and they create beautiful results; they are usually made from porcelain and they sit over the top of the natural teeth. However, they do not actually reduce the size of the gaps between the teeth. Veneers can also be used to treat chipped and worn teeth.

Orthodontic treatment: orthodontic treatment moves the teeth and corrects tooth alignment. There are various options available depending on how much movement is required, including removable aligners, fixed braces, lingual braces and invisible braces.

Beautifully HappySummer is so close you can almost taste it and what better way to usher in the warmer months than with a brand new, gleaming smile? Our veneer treatments will give you a gorgeous, radiant smile in perfect time for parties, weddings and summer holidays!

All about veneers

Veneers are very thin shells, which sit on top of your natural teeth. They are usually made from porcelain or other pressed ceramics and they are an increasingly popular choice for people who are looking to enjoy a perfect smile. Veneers are often featured in magazines, fashion and beauty shoots and television makeovers and they are renowned for producing dazzling results.

Veneers have aesthetic benefits, but they can also help to address issues such as chipped and worn teeth. They last for several years and they are available in many different shades, so there is scope to design your ideal smile.

What happens when you have veneers?

Before treatment begins, you will have a consultation to discuss the treatment, go through the processes and procedures and check that you are a suitable candidate for veneer treatment. Once this is complete, planning can begin and you can set about designing your new smile by selecting shades and shapes.

Once you have chosen your veneers, you will have an appointment to prepare the teeth; this involves shaving away a very thin layer of the teeth to make space for the veneers. This is not painful and it should not take long; it helps to make the final result more natural looking and ensures that your veneers are comfortable. Once we have your teeth prepared, impressions are created and sent off to the laboratory, where your veneers will be crafted.

When we receive your veneers, we will fit them, and then we make sure that you love your new smile and then secure them to your teeth. Your new summer smile will then be ready to show off to the world!

What the Porcelain Veneer can do for you in Leeds

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

Many methods to get you smiling again after you have suffered the problems of ageing to your teeth have come and gone. Some though have just got better with age and one technique that will cover up all of the sins in your smile is the porcelain veneer. This has been solving the problems of gapping and wear in the teeth, discolouration and receding gums for decades now inLeeds-because it works wonderfully well. Once you have identified your smile can’t be saved with some bleaching, then it’s time to opt for veneers to cover up all of these sins, and it is so easy to have done. Your teeth will be first prepared by having the enamel removed to make way for the fitting of the porcelain veneer. Then, casts will be taken and sent off somewhere for your veneers to be made. Until they return, you will be fitted with ‘dummies’ to protect your teeth. Then, once they are ready, they are glued onto the surfaces of your teeth. These are so robust once they fuse with the cement and if you care for them, they will last you many years and give you good service. But though they cover up all sins produced by ageing, it is truly a day of enlightenment when you first see the affect that they have on your smile- suddenly you are beaming alongside the best.

Making Dental veneers your choice in Leeds

Saturday, January 19th, 2013

Dental veneers have been around for decades now in Leeds, but it is this longevity that rather sums up just how good they are, and the good work that they do. They do a job and that job is to restore the fine smile to the mouth again, whilst covering up an incredible amount of sins that no other treatment can do. Ageing is always going to happen to us all and things will always start to go wrong, but it doesn’t mean to say that you have to just lie down and accept the fact. Your teeth may become jaded as time goes on; gaps may start to appear, you gums may recede and your teeth may start to look worn out, but a dental veneer will always be there to cover up these problems. Your teeth need to be prepared by first removing the original enamel of the teeth so that casts can be made, from which the veneers are made. And once they are finished, your dentist can then cement them into place. But it is just as well you will still be sitting down in the dentists chair when you are presented with a mirror for the first time- the change in your smile will be breathtaking!

Perfect Porcelain Veneers in Leeds

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Porcelain is a perfect and beautiful material, so there is no surprise that dentists have incorporated it into their world of cosmetic dentistry in the form of a veneer- it reflects the same translucent beauty than that of the tooth’s enamel. In Leeds, veneers are readily available at all dentists and they are the perfect way to get your smile back on track and give you back the OOMPH to inject your confidence. These tiny, delicate add-ons to your teeth can transform them within a couple of weeks. All you need to do is to sit down in the dentist’s chair, and have the old and tired enamel taken from the surface of your teeth, have an impression taken and after your veneers have been made they will be cemented into place. The reason why veneers have stood the test of time though is because of the way they can transform an old looking mouth into a young one. They remove all of the cracks, chips, discoloration, wear on the teeth, gaps and can help in the problem of gum recession. It is a treat when you go from feeling so bad about yourself and the way your teeth look to being the bees-knees. It isn’t the most expensive way to get your teeth into shape and is available on the NHS.
