‘ABB’ Align, Bleach & Bond

July 4th, 2011

Another Top Result Using ABB at Creative Smiles in just 6 Months!

This young lady from Belfast came to see us at Creative Smiles as she hated the prominance of her upper right lateral incisor tooth.  She was also concerned that both of her central incisor teeth looked short in length as opposed to her lateral incisor teeth.  She was not happy with the colour of her teeth.     She was unhappy and aware of  her teeth all of the time especially when looking in the mirror and getting her photograph taken.  This was having a knock-on affect on her confidence.
We carried out an in-depth assessment of our patient and spent time with her discussing all her available options in great detail.  After discussing the options we decided to Align her teeth with a Brace, Bleach then Bond.
The Inman Aligner brace was fitted to align the teeth as this young lady wanted a brace that would work fast and could be removed to eat and clean her teeth.
The Teeth were Whitened on completion of the alignment process using Home Tray Whitening.
The Smile Make-over was completed by using a technique called ‘Cosmetic Bonding’ to reshape, contour and lengthen the front central incisor teeth to create a more balanced smile!
This Treatment took just under 6 months.  How powerful is the concept of ABB!
Resulting in another Happy, Confident individual who no longer dreads having her photograph taken!

SMILE MAKEOVER USING ‘ABB’

June 22nd, 2011

ABB ‘Align, Bleach & Bond’

Another Top Result Using ABB at Creative Smiles in just 8 Months!

This lady from Ballinderry, Lisburn has been a longstanding patient at Creative Smiles and on every routine 6 monthly review appointment she has always mentioned that she hates her teeth.  The  alignment, colour and shape of her teeth were all a major concern but she felt she could never take the step to go ahead and do something about it.  She worried about having to wear a brace.   She was unhappy and aware of  her teeth all of the time especially when getting her photograph taken.  This was having a knock-on affect on her confidence. 
We carried out an in-depth assessment of our patient and spent time with her discussing all her available options in great detail.  After discussing the options we decided to Align her teeth with a Brace, Bleach then Bond .
The 6 Month Smile (Fixed Brace) was fitted to align the teeth as this lady wanted a brace that would work fast and the tooth coloured brackets and arch-wires made it more discreet than a conventional fixed brace.
The Teeth were Whitened on completion of the alignment process using Home Tray Whitening.
The Smile Make-over was completed by using a technique called ‘Cosmetic Bonding’ to reshape and contour the front teeth!
This Treatment took approximately 8 months.  How powerful is the concept of ABB!
Resulting in another Happy, Confident individual who no longer dreads having her photograph taken!

Smile Makeover using ‘ABB’

June 8th, 2011
6 Month Smile Makeover using ‘ABB’
This young lady from Lisburn came to Creative Smiles as she was unhappy with the alignment of her front 4 teeth, the gap between her 2 front teeth and a chip out of her upper left central incisor tooth.  She was becoming aware of her teeth all the time and constantly comparing herself to other peoples nice smiles.  This was having a knock-on affect on her confidence. 
We carried out an in-depth assessment of our patient and spent time with her discussing all her available options in great detail.  After discussing the options, together with the patient, we decided to Align her teeth with a brace, Bleach then use the Cosmetic Bonding Technique to finish.
The Inman Aligner Brace was fitted to align the front 4 teeth as this young lady wanted something that was going to work quickly and was only concerned with her front 4 teeth.
The Teeth were Whitened on completion of the alignment process using Home Tray Whitening.
The case was then finished by using a technique called ‘Cosmetic Bonding’ to reshape and contour the front 2 teeth to complete the Smile Makeover!
This Treatment took approximately 6 months. 
This young lady is delighted with her result and no longer picks faults in her smile when looking at other people anymore!

Smile Rejuvenation

May 16th, 2011

This patient presented to Creative Smiles very concerned with the colour deterioration of his front tooth and the gaps between the front 4 Teeth.  He also felt that his 2 front teeth were too long.

We decided along with this patient that we would take a conservative approach and used a Porcelain Veneer to rejuvenate the discoloured front tooth.  We then used a Cosmetic Bonding Technique to improve the shape and close the gaps between the front 4 teeth.

Both a very conservative and cost effective approach to rejuvenate this patients smile.  He was delighted!

The Art Of Cosmetic Bonding

April 27th, 2011

Bonding With Composite Resin (Tooth Coloured Filling Material)

In recent years there have been amazing developments in Modern Dentistry with the use of tooth coloured filling materials (sometimes called white fillings or composite) and the adhesives used with this material.

A wide variety of problems can be fixed with this material and the Dentists at Creative Smiles are very experienced in the use of this material.

Some people have stained areas on their teeth and because the tooth surface is healthy, it is not desirable to remove healthy tooth, bonding with composite can hide these areas.

In some cases the teeth do not form correctly and have less than an ideal shape to them.  Bonding can be used to correct this without progressing to a Veneer or Crown!

Cosmetic Bonding can be used for modern cosmetic techniques to Close Spaces between teeth (see example below) or to build up worn down teeth.  This is invariably successful with a very natural appearance!

Composite Bonding can be used in some circumstances over the whole front surface of a tooth.  This is called a Composite Veneer and allows the Dentist to change the whole surface of a tooth in just one visit! 

Cosmetic Bonding procedures are generally performed without the need for local anesthetic, take one visit and are relatively low cost!

Tooth Straightening using the Inman Aligner

April 13th, 2011

BEFORE

AFTER

Creative Smiles would like to share this recent case with you!

This lady came to us as she had been very unhappy with the appearance of her front four teeth for many years.  She wanted to find out what her options were in relation to Tooth Straightening.

We decided along with this patient that the use of the Inman Aligner Brace would be the ideal option for her individual needs as she wanted to have something removable when required for her job and a treatment that would be as short term as possible.  She wore the Inman Aligner Brace for approximately 4  months.  She found the Inman Aligner Brace relatively discreet in it’s appearance and was pleased with how quickly she began to see her teeth moving.

We finished off this case using a Cosmetic Bonding Technique  to improve the shape of the upper 1st pre-molar tooth which greatly improved the shape and closed the gap accordingly.

Another delighted Patient at Creative Smiles!

The Art Of Smile Design using Porcelain Veneers

January 31st, 2011

 SMILE DESIGN  MAKE-OVER AT CREATIVE SMILES!

 This lovely lady came to see us at Creative Smiles extremely self conscious about her smile.  She felt that her teeth looked too small and she showed too much gum.  She was mostly aware of her smile when talking to people, so much so she covered her mouth with her hand and would never attempt to smile in a photograph!
We got to work on designing a new smile for our patient!
Porcelain Veneers alone here would not change the Gum Levels that she was so concerned about so we had to organise for a Minor Gum Surgery Procedure to be carried out on the front 6 Teeth to decrease the gum level height to give the teeth more length and character.  While the Gum Surgery was healing, all the teeth were whitened using  our Zoom 2 AP Power Whitening System (completed in one hour). 
Each stage of this Smile Make-over was carefully planned between our Dentist Mr Gilbert and The Technician/Artist at our Dental Laboratory with the use of state of the art Dental Photography, Smile Design Models and Equipment.  This meant that on the day of preparation of the front 6 teeth, our patient was leaving with Temporary Veneers placed that were based on the end result, so she knew EXACTLY what the end result was going to be!!  This in- between stage between preparation and fitting is known as ‘the Trail Smile’ .  It means nothing is left to chance!  We often find a lot of our patient’s wanting to know why they cannot keep their trail smile and do they actually have to have them taken off for the Permanent Veneers to be fitted!! 
Once Mr Gilbert and our patient was happy with her ‘Trial Smile’ we then gave our Technician the go ahead to make the permanent Veneers with High Quality Porcelain.  These were then fitted just over 2 weeks after the teeth were prepared.  We used Cosmetic Bonding on both the Upper 1st Pre-Molar Teeth to bring them into the Smile more to finish off the makeover!
Since the Smile Make-over this lady has given us so much positive feedback.  It has been a life changing experience for her.  She bought her family a portrait seating as a gift and had the confidence to join them in getting a photograph taken (with her mouth open).  She looked, and more importantly felT amazing!  She has also had the confidence to go for a new job (which she was successful at getting) and her boyfriend says he is dating a new woman!

ABB ‘Align Bleach & Bond’

January 28th, 2011
Another Top Result Using ABB at Creative Smiles in just 6 Months!
 
This Young Gentleman from Carryduff came to Creative Smiles concerned about the alignment, colour and shape of his teeth.  He had chipped a few teeth also.   He was generally  unhappy with his smile, and was beginning to become aware of his teeth all the time.  This was having a knock-on affect on his confidence.  He had initially been looking into having Dental Veneers placed.
We examined the patient and spent time with him discussing all his available options in great detail.  Dental Veneers were an option here but after discussing the risks and the benefits to the patient and the other alternatives which were to use his own teeth, Align them with a brace, Bleach then Bond we decided alongside the patient to take a very conservative approach to treating this case by using ABB. 
Initially a removable brace was fitted to align the upper teeth into position.  This patient was suitable for either Fixed Appliances (train tracks) Invisalign (virtually invisible clear brace) or the Inman Aligner.  The Patient liked the idea of the Inman Aligner the most due to it’s speed and the fact that he could remove it for work purposes as he deals with the public a lot with his particular job.
The Teeth were Whitened on completion of the alignment process using Home Tray Whitening.
The case was then finished by using a technique called ‘Cosmetic Bonding’ to repair the unsightly chips and reshape and contour the front teeth to complete the Smile Makeover!
This Treatment took approximately 6 months.  How powerful is the concept of ABB!
Another Happy and More Confident Patient after treatment at Creative Smiles!
