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.

A patient from Stevenage gets his dream smile!!

It was a very special day for our last patient. For many years he had been wanting to change the appearance of his smile, due to cosmetic and clinical reasons. It was time for Dr. Abdah to fit the patients upper bridge. Dr. Abdah placed the bridge in the mouth and I was amazed to see how nice the bridge fitted and it also looked really fresh as well. We then asked the patient to have a look in the mirror, he was pleasantly surprised, he said that he was extremely happy with the look of the bridge and instantly he felt as though the bridge had been there for a while as it was so comfortable. He said to Dr. Abdah that it was the best day of his life, as his son had announced hours before that he had been given a place at university. The patient was admiring his teeth for ten to fifteen minutes, I genuinely believe that he was esentric about his new smile. He also gave Dr Abdah permission to shre his new smile with the world, so we will be posting his before and after pics soon.Watch the space. He then said that he would like Dr. Abdah to plan his treatment for his lower teeth to be revamped! We always look forward to seeing the outcome of cosmetic work especially when we spend hours on the planning stages and also with the patient in the chair, for us we also have a sence of achievement! The patient will return to our practice next week for the planning stages of his lower teeth!

Today at Dentastique is Tuesday and the day that our Dental hygienist, Marg works at our practice. Evey new patient during their examination receives a treatment plan from the dentist. One of the first stages of this treatment plan usually is a visit to our in house hygienist, Marg. One of our patients who is due to have a smile makeover with Dr. Abdah has arrived for their 30 minute appointment. Marg reads the prescription from the Dentist(instructions) and sets about implementing them. Usually in the form of Oral Hygiene instruction, Which tooth brushes to use (i.e manual or electric). Marg also recommends Inter dental aids such as Floss, Inter dental brushes, waterpik, wooden plastic tooth picks etc… Marg also assesses whether a mouth wash is recommended and of course Marg Scales and Polishes the teeth, either by hand or with the Ultrasonic Scalar. Normally the Hygienist recommends a six monthly visit.

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.

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

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)
