It was Friday and time to treat our last (but not least) patient of the week. The patient had attended our clinic previosly, firstly for a FREE consultation and also for a preparation appointment to accommodate two new porcelain crowns. The porcelain crowns were back from the lab, and certainly looking good. Dr. Abdah took off the temporary crowns and tried in the new ones, they also looked fantasic in the mouth! The new crowns fitted perfectly too, very little adjusting was needed. Dr Abdah decided that the crowns were ready to be cemented in place.

New porcelain crowns for a gentleman living in Great Shelford
Thursday, September 17th, 2009A Perfect Smile for a patient attending a dental surgery in Trumpington
Thursday, September 17th, 2009After weeks of planning and Dr. Abdah making a wax model of this gentleman’s teeth, as a simulation for the treatment, it was time to start the cosmetic makeover. On this gentleman’s first appointment his wife came along to Dentastique with him to help with the decision making. Dr. Abdah had taken some alginate impressions of his mouth in order for the technician to make some study models. As you can see Dr. Abdah explained, I have shaped your teeth, and worked extensively on this model and towards the back of your mouth there is absolutely no space to place any implants. I think that the first thing to do would be to work on your smile zone. It would mean a selection of crowns, bridges and two new veneers, to give you a perfect smile. Unfortunately the upper right Lateral Incisor is sitting in such a way that it actually needs extracting. Dr. Abdah firstly took time to make the teeth in wax on the study model in order to achieve the best results today. During today’s appointment Dr. Abdah shaped the five front teeth and then extracted the out of place tooth. He then made really nice temporary teeth, using a rubber mould that he made from the wax teeth. At the end of the treatment today, the patients wife was happily surprised to see her husbands makeover. Dr. Abdah will see the patient in three months to carry on with the treatment plan.
Wedding smile makeover for a patient getting married in Haverhill
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009The day had arrived for the Bride to be to come along to Dentastique to have her Porcelain Veneers and Porcelain Crowns fitted. Dr. Abdah firstly welcomed the patient into his surgery, and made her feel comfortable. He then checked that the shade of the new teeth against the patients other teeth, the shade was perfect! It was now time for Dr. Abdah to gently remove the temporary teeth and place the brand new Porcelain ones in place. Dr. Abdah used the latest technique in porcelain cement that he had acquired in the USA, when he was there earlier this year sitting an exam to become an Accredited member of The American Academy of cosmetic dentistry, which he passed! The bride to be was very happy with the results and now wishes for Dr. Abdah to become her general dentist.
New porcelain crowns for a gentleman living in Great Shelford
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009A couple of weeks ago we had a patient come in for a FREE consultation. The patient decided that he would like to have his very old front crowns replaced to new porcelain crowns. It was now time for Dr. Abdah to take off the old crowns and shape the existing teeth ready for new ones. Dr. Abdah took impressions and used the true shade device to decide which colour would match the rest of the teeth. The crowns will be sent to a Lab, to be made and they will be sent back after two weeks. The patient also plays sport, and has requested that Dr. Abdah makes him a sports guard to protect his new crowns. Dr. Abdah will first fit the new crowns and then he will take the impressions for the sports guard. The new crowns will take approximately two weeks to be made and sent back to the surgery.
A patient who works in Trumpington has an Implant placed.
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009A few months ago, a patient attended Dr. Abdah’s clinic for an extraction of an un-savable tooth. Last week the same patient came in to have an implant placed in the lower right area of her mouth. It is usual that before the procedure begins the patient will always have some last minute thoughts and questions. The patient had remarked that this was the only space in her mouth and why was it so important for an implant to be placed? Dr. Abdah showed the patient an X Ray of her mouth showing that an opposing tooth will potentially grow until it bites against another. He then showed the patient some models of a mouth that had had various extractions in the past and once placed together, they clearly showed that there was no space for any Bridge works or Implants. For future reasons to place an implant in any space is crusial to maintain the biting space in the mouth. It is a usual occurrence for a patient to get last minute nerves as they have always had a consultation and all the information, so the decision is already made. The patient was happy with the advice and continued to have the Implant done, after the procedure the patient said to Dr. Abdah that she has last minute nerves but is relieved that she had the treatment. The next visit will be in six months time.
Dr. Abdah places an Implant in a man living in Harston
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009A Gentleman who had been a patient at Dentastique for many years, had an accident a few months ago, smashing his front tooth into many pieces. The patient decided to come along for a FREE consultation to obtain Dr. Abdah’ s professional advice. Dr Abdah examined the patient and discovered that the crown of the tooth had broken off, he then decided to take an Xray to investigate the foundation of the tooth. The results of the Xray showed that the root of the tooth had fractured in many places. Dr. Abdah advised the patient that he should go to Addenbrookes hospital where they could take a scan of the area, as the Xray also showed that there was a cyst under the root of the tooth which would firstly need removing. After going to Addenbrookes hospital the patient returned back to us for a review prior to an implant appointment being made. Another Xray was taken at the review stage showing that the Cyst was gone, and the area is now ready for an implant!
