During a FREE consultation last week, a bride to be wanted a smile makeover. This is great but there was only six weeks till the wedding! Dr. Abdah examined her and took some photos of her mouth, he then displayed the photos on the screen and explained that she would need the four teeth at the front upgraded to two new crowns and two new veneers. The first part of the course would be to whiten the teeth using the Advanced Zoom laser whitening treatment. Dr. Abdah checked his book and decided that in order for her treatment plan to be finished in time for the big day he would stay late and accomodate her to whiten her teeth. Yesterday was the appointment for the teeth whitening. This procedure consists of the patient being made comfortable (as it takes 2 hours!), the shade of the existing teeth is taken, then the area inside the mouth is protected before the Whitening gel is applied. Advanced Zoom will lighten the teeth by six to eight shades. The Laser Light is then shone on the teeth. At the end of the procedure the Bride to be was really amazed! The next appointment will consist of the preparation for the Veneers and Crowns.

Wedding smile makeover for a patient getting married in Haverhill
Monday, August 10th, 2009A Patient from St Ives arrives at the surgery for a Free dental consultation
Monday, August 10th, 2009Our patient this morning had a lot of concerns about his teeth that had been bothering him since his childhood. He said that the brace that the orthodontist had made was cutting into his gums, and he took the decision to remove it himself. Dr. Abdah explained that the patient would definately benefit from Invisalign treatment. This would align the teeth making it much easier for him to clean them. The teeth would look great aswell.The patient said that both him and his wife would like Invisalign treatment but had a few concerns regarding how he would pay for it? Here at Dentastique we have teemed up with a major medical finance company to offer our patients the option of an interest FREE payment plan. Dr. Abdah has explained this to the patient. The patient will revert back to us when he has decided. In the mean time we have booked him in for a general scale and polish and a filling which is needed in the top left side of his mouth. The patient seemed very excited and keen and gone away very happy.
Mother of the Bride Makeover for her daughter’s wedding in Ely
Monday, August 10th, 2009Today was the final visit for a patient who had been having a smile makeover, in preparation for her daughters wedding next week. A FREE consultation had revealed that this lady would firstly need the combined treatment of Enlighten and Advanced Zoom whitening. Then after a week or so Dr. Abdah would change all of the old defective and decayed white fillings in the front of her mouth to new composite ones. The patient explained how happy that she was with the treatment so far and how white and shiny her teeth are! Dr. Abdah then cleaned out all of the old fillings, and prepared the teeth for the brand new ones. During the procedure Dr. Abdah decided that in order to get the utmost best results he would use the new Composite kit that he has, alongside the polish brought from the USA. I could not believe how those fillings had bonded with the existing teeth, I could not even see where the new fillings had been placed. We showed the patient the final result, she was so happy that she kissed Dr. Abdah with Joy. We wished the patient to enjoy her daughters wedding and she happily went on her way. Until next blog…Emma (Treatment Coordinator)
A Student from Cambridge University would like to know more about invisalign
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009After the patient attending a FREE consultation to find out about Invisalign and once the patient has decided that they would like to make their teeth straight and that they wish to go ahead with the Invisalign treatment plan a one hour appointment is booked. Dr. Abdah welcomed the patient into his surgery, this appointment will consist of a full mouth X Ray(OPG). Then Impressions of the teeth and bite registration impression are taken. Dr. Abdah then takes various photos of the patients mouth and also photos of the patient full face and profile. These enable the highly skilled technicians in America to create a virtual treatment plan online (ClinCheck). This will show the Patient and the Dentist the Treatment plan instructions, i.e the length of time that the appliances need to be worn, before and after images, and the number of appliances that need to be made. Once Dr Abdah and the patient have checked the virtual treatment and made sure everything looks exactly the way they wanted it, they accept the case and AlignTech will start to make them and the patient will come back for the fit and instructions.
Zoom whitening and enlighten consultation for a patient who lives in Granchester
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Yesterday Dr. Abdah gave his advise to a lady who wanted Zoom advanced whitening, her teeth were already looking really white? Dr. Abdah welcomed the patient into the surgery, during the FREE consultation he discovered that she had already had Whitening in Chicago years before. The patients teeth had slowly got slightly stained and very slightly faded over the last eight years. Dr Abdah advised her that Zoom Advance would only improve the shade of her teeth by one or two shades since her teeth were already white, usually the Zoom Advanced whitening improves the patients shade of teeth by up to 6-8 shades. This patient would definitely benefit from Enlighten whitening system or the combination of Enlighten and Zoom. Enlighten is a gel which is placed inside a custom made tray. The Enlighten gel is placed in the tray overnight for a varied amount of time. Otherwise she may prefer just to do a touch up with some special whitening pens that will change the shade so much but it will keep it fresh. The patient was pleased with Dr. Abdah’s honest advice and will revert back to us with the option that she prefers.
