A 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.

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.
White 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!!
