Today 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)

Monday, August 10th, 2009White fillings near Trumpington
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Yesterday morning was a very busy morning here at Dentastique, Dr. Besiri had lots of patients booked in for a variety of treatments. We called in our first patient who was originally booked in for an amalgam filling. The results of an X Ray showed that the present filling had decay under the amalgam, which meant that the filling needed to be replaced. The patient had decided that as he did not have any other fillings he would prefer a white filling and he asked Dr. Besiri what were his options. Dr. Besiri explained that she could take out the old amalgam and clean out all of the decay and place in a composite filling. The benefits of a composite filling are that they bond to the tooth, unlike amalgam which stays in place by the shape of the cavity. This meant a smaller cavity. One of the other benefits of a Composite filling is that it is tooth coloured. The patient decided that this was the best option for him. Dr. Besiri showed the patient a colour chart, and they both decided on the best colour match. Dr. Besiri did the filling for him straight away, and now the patient is amalgam free!!
