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
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 travels from Cambourne to get Free advice on a new cerec inlay
Monday, July 27th, 2009A couple of weeks ago Dr. Abdah used the latest Zoom advanced Power technology to whiten a patient’s teeth. The patient was so happy with the results, that she kindly recommended her husband to come along to Dentastique for a free Consultation to discuss the condition of the teeth. During the free consultation it was obvious that the patient had a half broken tooth in the lower left side plus hairline cracks in the rest of the tooth. Dr. Abdah advised that the best treatment would be a cerec inlay. Cerec inlays are very strong and they also require minimal preparation of the existing tooth, and they bond to the tooth. Cerec inlays are also available in a variety of tooth coloured shades, so even aesthetically they look very pleasing. But best of all; it is done in one visit. The patient also had an old crown at the front of his mouth in need of replacing. The crown had a margin between the gum and the tooth, this is where the gum is receding and is showing a dark part of the tooth. Dr. Abdah advised the gentleman that he could make him a porcelain crown that would be beautifully matched to his existing teeth. Dr. Abdah and the patient have decided to start the treatment in a months time when the patient returns from his holiday.
Free Advice given to a patient who attends our surgery in Great Shelford
Monday, July 27th, 2009Dr. Abdah had a patient booked in this morning for a free consultation, during the free consultation Dr. Abdah listened to the patient’s main dental problem and found that the patient had two very old crowns in the front of the mouth, one of them being chipped. It was clear to Dr. Abdah that there would be two possible solutions for these front teeth. Both the options required Dr. Abdah to use the skills and knowledge that he has obtained on courses around the world.The first option would be for Dr. Abdah to build up the chipped crown using the latest bonding techniques. The second option was to replace the old crowns with two new porcelain crowns. These would be made using the latest technology in crown making and shade matching using the true shade device to match the colour of the new crowns to the existing teeth givinig the ultimate colour and translucency just like the patient’s owen teeth. Dr. Abdah gave these choices to the patient and the patient preferred to have the two crowns replaced since they were very old. An appoointment was made to start the treatment.
