Chipped Tooth? Here’s What You Need!

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016

White smileEven the strongest, healthiest teeth can fall foul to accidents and injuries. Tooth enamel is incredibly strong, but chips are fairly common. Even a minor chip can have a significant impact on the look of your smile and your confidence. Thankfully, if you’re worried about chips, we can help. Sometimes, clients opt for veneers for chips, especially if they have additional problems, such as staining. But there is an alternative. Allow us to introduce you to cosmetic bonding.

Everything you need to know about cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic bonding, also known as composite bonding, is a very simple but very effective dental procedure, which has incredible aesthetic benefits for your smile. This treatment involves using dental composite, a tooth-coloured material, to patch up work edges, alter the shape of individual teeth, and repair chips.

Composite bonding is a simpler, faster and more affordable option than dental veneers. It can be completed in a single session, and there’s absolutely no pain involved.

If you choose to have bonding, your dentist will go through the procedure with you. Before they begin, they will select the shade of composite that is closest to your natural tooth colour. They will then apply the composite, which looks and feels like dental putty, and shape it. Your dentist will mould the composite to carry out the desired changes, using their creativity and practical skills to achieve amazing results. The composite is then hardened using a curing light. Once the composite has set, your dentist will make any final adjustments to ensure a flawless finish.

Is bonding the right treatment for me?

Many of us are conscious about the appearance of our smiles. If you have minor imperfections, we can make your smile look more attractive and boost your confidence by using simple, painless techniques like composite bonding. This treatment is suitable for those with chips, worn and uneven teeth, small gaps between the teeth and misshapen teeth. To find out more, give us a call today!

Weather Your Tooth Erosion with Cosmetic Bonding

Friday, April 22nd, 2016

If your teeth have fallen victim to acid erosion then you might have considered pricey treatments like veneers to get your smile back on track. But did you know there’s a faster and more cost effective option? Cosmetic bonding can restore your smile in a single visit and is significantly cheaper than veneers or crowns.

What is bonding used for?

Cosmetic bonding uses a material called resin, which becomes very resilient when it sets. This treatment can be used to treat:

  • Tooth decay
  • Chipped teeth
  • Broken teeth
  • Uneven teeth
  • Gaps in the smile
  • Discoloration

The bonding procedure

The procedure is pretty straightforward. Firstly, your dentist will mix the resin to make sure the colour matches your natural teeth.

Your tooth will then be prepared. This involves roughening the surface so that the resin can get a firm grip on your tooth.

Once your tooth is ready, your dentist will apply the resin to the tooth and sculpt it into shape. Finally they’ll solidify the resin using a special laser, before giving the tooth a polish for a natural finish.

Bonding benefits

Cosmetic bonding treatment is an effective and long-lasting treatment and the best part is, it can be completed in one appointment!

Your teeth will look beautiful and natural afterwards and there’s no need for downtime after the procedure.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure used to repair individual teeth and make changes that have an incredible impact on the aesthetic of the smile. This treatment is suited to patients with cosmetic imperfections such as chipped and worn teeth, jagged edges, misshapen teeth and gaps between the teeth.

Your dentist will shape and craft the composite and when they are satisfied with the placement of it, they will set it using a curing light.

The entire procedure usually takes less than an hour and there’s no pain involved, so you don’t have to put up with needles and injections. You can simply relax and get ready to see your new smile.

What are the advantages of composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a simple, safe, affordable and highly effective solution for slightly damaged, worn teeth and small gaps between the teeth.

Treatment for Broken Teeth in Liverpool

Friday, October 16th, 2015

If you break a tooth, there is a risk of further damage and we can offer a range of treatments to restore and strengthen your smile. The first step is to ascertain the extent of the damage and we do this by examining and performing an X-ray of the tooth.

Treatment for chipped teeth

If you have a chipped tooth, there are various restorative and cosmetic options available to you, including composite bonding and veneers. Composite bonding, also known as cosmetic bonding, is a process designed to patch up the teeth and improve the aesthetic of the smile at the same time. Your dentist uses composite, which is also used for white fillings, to repair chips and build up worn edges to make your teeth stronger and make your smile look more attractive. The procedure is quick, the results are visible immediately and you don’t need any injections.

Veneers are also an option for patients with chipped teeth, but they are a cosmetic rather than a restorative solution. Veneers are available in different shapes and sizes and help to create beautiful smiles.

Treatment for a broken tooth

If your tooth has suffered more extensive damage, restorative treatment will be recommended. Crowns are a popular treatment for broken teeth. Dental crowns are placed over the natural tooth once the tooth has been prepared and the damaged tissue has been taken away. Crowns are custom-designed and can be made from metals or ceramic materials. Once they are in place, crowns should last for up to 10 years.

Sometimes it is hard to tell if a tooth is broken. Signs to look out for include pain, especially when you use the tooth to bite or chew, sensitivity and a feeling of weakness when you use the tooth.

How to Treat a Broken Tooth

Thursday, May 14th, 2015

The general wear and tear of daily life can take its toll on the teeth and if you have chipped, worn or broken teeth, we have some amazing restorative remedies on offer. We can also provide urgent assistance for dental injuries. Simply call us and we will do our best to get you an appointment as quickly as possible.

Composite bonding for broken teeth

In minor cases when a tooth is not extensively damaged, we may recommend a procedure called composite bonding to treat a broken, chipped or worn tooth. Composite bonding is more affordable, quicker and less invasive than veneers and it offers amazing cosmetic benefits as well as adding strength to the teeth.

Bonding is a technique that uses dental composite, a soft, tooth-coloured material that hardens when exposed to strong light. This repairs the teeth and improve the look of the smile. Your dentist will mould the composite when it is soft and then harden it using a curing light once they are happy with the result. Composite bonding can be used to repair chips and restore worn surfaces and edges, re-shape the teeth and decrease gaps between teeth.

What are the advantages of dental bonding?

Dental bonding produces effective results rapidly. Treatment is usually complete within an hour and you’ll notice the difference immediately. Although bonding doesn’t last as long as veneers, this treatment is much less expensive and it can be replaced very easily in the event of any damage occurring. Bonding is also painless, so you can enjoy amazing results without any worry at all.

If you like the sound of bonding and you’re searching for an easy way to transform chipped, worn and broken teeth into a beautiful, functional smile, call us today!

Dealing With Damaged Teeth In Central Liverpool

Sunday, June 15th, 2014

Your teeth are made from sturdy stuff, but general wear and tear, injuries and accidents can take their toll and there is a risk of them becoming damaged and broken. If you have a broken tooth, there are various options available to you. These include: restorative treatments (such as crowning or dental implants), cosmetic treatments (such as veneers), or a simple and quick procedure known as cosmetic bonding.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is often referred to as composite bonding and it is a procedure used to carry out minor repairs to the teeth. This procedure involves using dental composite, which is also used to fill cavities, to patch up and build up the teeth to create a beautiful smile.

Bonding is a really effective treatment for patients who have chipped and worn teeth, as well as those who have unsightly gaps between their teeth, and it is a much cheaper and less invasive solution than veneers. The changes made to individual teeth appear to be very minor, but when you look in the mirror you will be amazed at the difference they make to the overall appearance of your smile.

The bonding process

The procedure involves using dental composite to build up worn edges, smooth rough surfaces, reduce the size of the gap between two teeth and repair chipped teeth. Your dentist will shape the composite while it is still in a soft form and then set it hard using a curing light. This painless procedure doesn’t take long, and the results are staggering.

Typically, the procedure takes less than an hour and no anaesthetic is required. The results are visible straightaway, there is no recovery time and your teeth will be stronger, as well as looking healthier. Composite can be matched to the closest shade to your natural teeth, so that the ‘new’ part of the tooth cannot be distinguished from the rest of the tooth.

Treating Broken Teeth In Central Liverpool

Wednesday, April 9th, 2014

Your teeth carry out a number of important actions every day and occasionally, they can suffer from wear and tear. If you have a chipped tooth, you may be thinking about restorative or cosmetic treatment and we highly recommend cosmetic bonding.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is also known as composite bonding and it is a procedure used to strengthen damaged teeth and enhance the aesthetic of the smile. Dental composite is matched to the colour of your natural teeth and it can be moulded into shape when in putty form, which means that it is a very versatile treatment. Your dentist can use composite to improve the shape of a tooth, repair chipped teeth, build up a worn tooth surface and even make a gap between two teeth smaller. Once the putty-like composite has been shaped, it is then hardened to make the tooth stronger.

The procedure

Before the procedure, your dentist will explain what is going to happen and then shape the composite to address your concerns; this may involve filling in a chipped tooth or placing the composite between two teeth, for example. The composite is closely matched to the shade of your teeth and it has a range of uses.

Once your dentist is happy with the placement and shape of the composite, they will shine a curing light onto the material to set it hard. Once the composite is hard, it is very strong and should last for a long time. Your dentist will then give your tooth a polish and you can see your amazing new smile.

What are the advantages of cosmetic bonding?

The changes made by this procedure are usually fairly minor, but the impact on the look of the smile is really impressive. Even a small chip can make you feel self-conscious when you smile and this treatment can really work wonders to make sure that you feel confident when you smile. The actual procedure usually takes less than an hour, it’s painless and you will be able to notice the results straightaway. This treatment is also a much more affordable option than veneers and other types of restorative treatment.
