This lady was very happy with the result of her implant treatment.  The treatment has completely changed her outlook and she can now smile with confidence.

This patient had badly decayed and broken front teeth which were causing him significant pain and embarrassment. He sought a solution which not only addressed the obvious problems but also restored his teeth to achieve a perfectly natural result.

I decided to restore the upper four front teeth with Emax crowns after rebuilding them together with his upper right canine tooth with composite resin. The remaining teeth were whitened with our Deep Bleaching system.

Our Master Ceramist Ian took great care to mimic the natural characteristics of the patient’s original teeth. Detailed shade maps were made of every part of the teeth to allow the correct porcelains to be used. A total of 12 different porcelains including opalescent and translucent colours were used to make each crown.

The crowns were tried in to check size, shape and basic colour, after which Ian painted each one while it was in the patient’s mouth, thus achieving a perfect match with the adjacent natural teeth.

Needless to say the patient was delighted with the result especially as people he meets never guess that his perfect smile was once so different.

This patient had existing crowns on her upper teeth but was unhappy with the overall appearance of her smile. She showed an excessive amount of gum when she smiled and her crowns were too short, square and bulky. The smile line did not follow her lower lip curvature and therefore looked too masculine and out of place.

The treatment plan was firstly to perform a “Gum Lift” whereby the amount of visible gum is reduced by repositioning it higher up. Then the crowns were replaced using the principles of smile design which take into consideration not only the size and shape of the teeth, but also the frame, i.e. the lips, mouth and face. The patient wanted a bright glamorous look and so very high value shades of porcelain were chosen with less translucency.

The patient was extremely happy with the end result which more than met her expectations, so much so that I have since gone on to treat many of her friends and family.

As you can see from the before and after pictures below, this patient was absolutely delighted with the results of her recent Deep Bleaching treatment. This result was achieved in just two weeks and we guarantee shade B1 or lighter (B1 is the brightest shade on a dentist’s shade guide!).
