The 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.

Wedding smile makeover for a patient getting married in Haverhill
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009Wedding smile makeover for a patient getting married in Haverhill
Monday, August 10th, 2009During 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.
A Patient drives from Newmarket for his Veneer preparation
Thursday, July 30th, 2009We had a gentleman come in last week for the first stage in his treatment plan, for cosmetic reasons he wanted a porcelain veneer on his upper right front tooth. Dr. Salim welcomed the patient to her surgery, to begin the preparation for a new veneer. After the initial impressions were taken Dr. Salim was then in a position to start preparing the tooth for the brand new veneer. The technique used by a dentist during a veneer preparation requires them to shape the tooth in a very conservative manner, making a 1-2mm space for the veneer. Once Dr. Salim successfully did this, it was time to make a decision on the colour of the veneer. Dr. Salim decided that in order to obtain the best results she would use the true shade device. Dr. Salim, the gentleman and myself mutually decided on the best colour match available. Dr. Salim then placed a temporary veneer over the tooth, until the patient returns in two weeks for the permanent veneer. Sometimes when conditions permit we can even do these veneers in one stage , i.e. on the same day with our state of the art CEREC technology. However in this particular case the decision was made to send it to the lab.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009Yesterday a young man called the surgery who was enquiring to know more about what he could do to improve his smile. He had a brace when he was a teenager, and failed to wear the retainer. I advised him that here at Dentastique, Dr. Abdah offers a free consultation to check and discuss the best options for this gentleman. During the 30 minute free consultation, Dr. Abdah advised that the option of aligning the teeth would be the best solution rather than cutting healthy tooth structure away. The treatment plan would take approximately 6 to 9 months and the teeth will go back into position, and with this a free whitening kit is included. The patient was very happy with this option as he was offered 8 veneers as an option in the past, this being extremely expensive and existing teeth needing to be shaped. We have booked him in next week to commence his treatment!
