A lady who works in Trumpington comes in to get her Invisalign fitted

dentist cambridge — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:40:28 +0000

The wait is over, the time has arrived for our patient to start her dream smile by using Invisalign as a clear, fresh and hygienic way to straighten the teeth. Invisalign is a series of clear removable braces that straighten teeth over a course of several months (usually not years!). A set of aligners (clear braces) are worn for two weeks, twenty hours a day. After two weeks a patient moves to the next aligners in the set, during the treatment plan there may be occasions when the patient needs an appointment with Dr. Abdah, in order for him to make spaces in between the teeth (to allow the teeth to move), and also in the early stages of the Invisalign treatment Dr. Abdah places tooth coloured attachments to the teeth in order to give the aligners retention. Sometimes the patient get many aligners together, thus minimising the visits to the practice. the patient was very pleased with the first aligners and felt very little pressure on the teeth but wasn’t uncomfortable. She look forward to her future aligners, as every aligner means a step closer to her dream smile that she rightly deserve, especially as she will get a FREE whitening in the end to enhance the overall look. We want everybody to feel great about themselves at the end.

The patient had been wearing her invisalign for a total of 9 months now, and after only a few visits to our practice to change over the retainers , add atttachments and also Dr. Abdah would do some inter proximal reduction to make very small spaces between the teeth, this is to allow space for the teeth to move. Today it was time to have the attachments removed and her teeth polished. Dr. Abdah was definately very happy with the outcome. The patients teeth were looking very nice and straight, she was exceedingly happy with her new smile. After Dr. Abdah polishes the teeth, he then took impressions, that would be sent to a special lab who would make retainers, which are plastic templates that keep teeth in place. Dentastique offers patients a Free consultation if they are interested in finding out more about the Invisalign treatment. Dr. Abdah asked the patient to book a follow up appointment in two weeks, to get her new retainers fitted, and of course at that moment she will be entitled to FREE Whitening!! As most patients(depending on their needs) will get a free whiteninig (worth over 450 pounds) with the Invisalign treatment. The patient was thrilled.

Enlighten whitening for a patient who lives in Cambridge and works in Stevenage

dentist cambridge — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:43:53 +0000

This afternoon a patient attended our practice for a Free consultation, he was wanting a whiter smile. He wanted a whiter smile as in was in the process of looking for a new job and thought that this would give him a confidence boost. Dr. Abdah checked his teeth and advised him that he had a heavy bite and therefor needed to get a night guard as well as he had chipped the edge of his teeth. There was two options that could potentially give this man a whiter smile. The first option would be a treatment called Zoom Advanced Whitening, this entails a two hour appointment using a Laser lamp to enhance the colour. The second option would be to get a dedicated Lab to make trays that fit the patients mouth, and hold the specially formulated Enlighten gel in place. These trays would need to be worn whilst sleeping, Dr. Abdah advised the patient that in order to reach the maximum effect he recommended that the man wears them for at least two weeks. The patient was very happy with Dr. Adah’s advice and decided to have the treatment. Dr Abdah and myself then quickly prepared the patient and the surgery, and took the impressions immediately. The impressions will return from the Lab in approximately ten days and we will then contact the patient.

A Perfect Smile for a patient attending a dental surgery in Trumpington

After weeks of planning and Dr. Abdah making a wax model of this gentleman’s teeth, as a simulation for the treatment, it was time to start the cosmetic makeover. On this gentleman’s first appointment his wife came along to Dentastique with him to help with the decision making. Dr. Abdah had taken some alginate impressions of his mouth in order for the technician to make some study models. As you can see Dr. Abdah explained, I have shaped your teeth, and worked extensively on this model and towards the back of your mouth there is absolutely no space to place any implants. I think that the first thing to do would be to work on your smile zone. It would mean a selection of crowns, bridges and two new veneers, to give you a perfect smile. Unfortunately the upper right Lateral Incisor is sitting in such a way that it actually needs extracting. Dr. Abdah firstly took time to make the teeth in wax on the study model in order to achieve the best results today. During today’s appointment Dr. Abdah shaped the five front teeth and then extracted the out of place tooth. He then made really nice temporary teeth, using a rubber mould that he made from the wax teeth. At the end of the treatment today, the patients wife was happily surprised to see her husbands makeover. Dr. Abdah will see the patient in three months to carry on with the treatment plan.

dentist cambridge — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:20:30 +0000

A 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 Gentleman who had been a patient at Dentastique for many years, had an accident a few months ago, smashing his front tooth into many pieces. The patient decided to come along for a FREE consultation to obtain Dr. Abdah’ s professional advice. Dr Abdah examined the patient and discovered that the crown of the tooth had broken off, he then decided to take an Xray to investigate the foundation of the tooth. The results of the Xray showed that the root of the tooth had fractured in many places. Dr. Abdah advised the patient that he should go to Addenbrookes hospital where they could take a scan of the area, as the Xray also showed that there was a cyst under the root of the tooth which would firstly need removing. After going to Addenbrookes hospital the patient returned back to us for a review prior to an implant appointment being made. Another Xray was taken at the review stage showing that the Cyst was gone, and the area is now ready for an implant!

Our patient this morning had a lot of concerns about his teeth that had been bothering him since his childhood. He said that the brace that the orthodontist had made was cutting into his gums, and he took the decision to remove it himself. Dr. Abdah explained that the patient would definately benefit from Invisalign treatment. This would align the teeth making it much easier for him to clean them. The teeth would look great aswell.The patient said that both him and his wife would like Invisalign treatment but had a few concerns regarding how he would pay for it? Here at Dentastique we have teemed up with a major medical finance company to offer our patients the option of an interest FREE payment plan. Dr. Abdah has explained this to the patient. The patient will revert back to us when he has decided. In the mean time we have booked him in for a general scale and polish and a filling which is needed in the top left side of his mouth. The patient seemed very excited and keen and gone away very happy.

Mother of the Bride Makeover for her daughter’s wedding in Ely

dentist cambridge — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:51:21 +0000

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)

A Patient who works in Sawston gets Free Whitening

dentist cambridge — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:56:55 +0000

Today is the final stage in the treatment plan for invisalign for one of our patients at Dentastique. The patient was thrilled with the results and when we compared the results to the original photos we were all very pleased to see how the results were. The teeth were cleaned and polished to prepare them for the FREE whitening which we offer our patients after Invisalign Treatment. The patient will be wearing her last aligners as a reservoir for the whitening gel for few weeks and then is back for impressions for her free retainers in order to keep the teeth in position hopefully forever. All in all this was an extremely successful case and both we and the patient were thrilled with the outcome. One aspect that helped this treatment to work really well was the patients cooperation throughout the entire treatment, and this despite the patient being miles away, the treatment started in Cambridge and the patient lived in Wales throughout the treatment and only came back few times in the begining. the patient thought that this was the best deceision she ever made for her teeth and oral health.
