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.

New porcelain crowns for a gentleman living in Great Shelford

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.

Dr. 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.
