A 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.

Monday, July 27th, 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!!
