Gunn Dental Care is a dentist in Bramhope, Leeds. The practice offers fantastic dental care, which is
delivered to the patient by a highly professional and caring dental team.
The ethos of the practice is about prevention and patient
education. They firmly believe that it is beneficial for patients to understand
how to look after their teeth and prevent dental emergencies from occurring.
Regular dental hygiene appointments are recommended and they make it their

to understand their needs and concerns.
The practice is taking
on new patients and the initial visit will include a check-up to see how
healthy your teeth and gums are. If they discover any dental problems, they
will work out an action plan you are happy with to get your oral healthcare
back on track.
Alongside general dentistry and family dentistry, the dental
practice offers cosmetic dentistry options. Below we focus on dental implants and the teeth straightening system Invisalign.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a great solution if you have missing
teeth or a missing single tooth. When you have missing teeth, it can cause many
problems, such as eating, drinking and talking and it can also knock your
self-confidence. Dental implants are a safe long-term solution and are usually
suitable for most people, no matter what age you are. Your teeth and gums will
need to be checked initially to ascertain whether they are healthy enough for
dental implants. X-rays may be taken.
Once it is established that you are suitable for dental
implants, your dentist will formulate your dental plan. The dental implants act
like your natural tooth root and a titanium root is placed into the jawbone and
fuses with the bone surrounding it. This process takes around 3-6 months and a
very solid base is established, which can then be used to fit the crown, bridge
or denture.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a series of virtually invisible aligners, which
are worn over your teeth and gums. They should be worn for 22-24 hours per day
and a new aligner is used every 2 weeks. The aligners are tailor made
specifically for your teeth.
The treatment time is usually around 9-18 months, depending
on the problems that are being corrected. One of the major advantages of
Invisalign over traditional braces is that they are removable. This means you
can clean your teeth very effectively and can remove them for eating, giving
you the freedom to eat exactly what foods you wish, which can be restricted
sometimes with traditional braces.
