Never too old for a Smile Make-over!!

November 23rd, 2011

This lovely lady from Lisburn, now  in her seventy’s who  has been a longstanding patient of our practice for many many years came to see us for her routine examination appointment.  At her appointment she asked us about having some smile improvements made. 

She felt that her teeth were ageing her.  She he did not like the colour nor the shape of her front four teeth and felt they were becoming more worn and chipped over time.

After discussing the possible options indepth with our patient, we decided to pursue a Smile Make-over using home kit tooth whitening to bring all the teeth back to life.  On completion of the Whitening Treatment we then prepared and placed 4 Porcelain Veneers on both the upper central and lateral incisor teeth.

This Smile Make-over took 6 weeks in total!

Our patient is delighted with the result and feels she looks at least ten years younger, she has even started to wear lipstick again and is constantly getting positive compliments from all her Friends and Family!

Replacement Porcelain Restorations

October 26th, 2011

This young lady from Lisburn came to see us as she was unhappy with her smile.

She disliked her two central teeth that had been crowned a long time ago.  She was also concerned with the old fillings on her front lateral incisors and the ‘pink’ stain on her upper right lateral incisor tooth.

After discussing all the available options with our patient, we decided to initially whiten the teeth using our Zoom 2 AP Power Whitening System and replace both the central incisor teeth with new high quality crowns and Porcelain Veneers to restore the lateral incisors back to life! 

As you can see from the photographs the results were fantastic!  Another happy and more confident patient after visiting Creative Smiles!

State Of The Art Porcelain Veneers

October 17th, 2011

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that provide a new front surface for your teeth. Here at Creative Smiles we use high quality porcelain material for our veneers, the best option when it comes to such treatment. Veneers offer great versatility and are able to be used for an assortment of tooth problems: they can be used to close tooth gaps, elongate small or twisted teeth, or improve the colour of discoloured or darkened teeth. Their strength and appearance is similar to that of natural teeth and they are a great option if you want to have a smile that will last.

We treated this young lady below with four front porcelain veneers as she did not like the alignment, shape or colour of her front teeth and a brace was not an option for her due to her own personal reasons.

We started by whitening the teeth so that the new porcelain would be matched exactly to her new whiter tooth colour.  We used the art of ‘Smile Design’ to get the veneers made exactly to our and our patient’s specifications so that they would compliment our patient to the highest standard possible.

The Veneers were prepared on day one and the permanent veneers then placed 3 weeks later.  Our patient is delighted with the result and with her job based around the public she is much more confident to smile!  The only regret she had was that she had not had them done before her wedding day!

Porcelain Veneers

October 10th, 2011

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that provide a new front surface for your teeth. Here at Creative Smiles we use porcelain material for our veneers, the best option when it comes to such treatment. Veneers offer great versatility and are able to be used for an assortment of tooth problems: they can be used to close tooth gaps, elongate small or twisted teeth, or improve the colour of discoloured or darkened teeth. Their strength and appearance is similar to that of natural teeth and they are a great option if you want to have a smile that will last.

We treated this young lady below with four front porcelain veneers as she did not like the alignment, shape or colour of her front teeth and a brace was not an option for her due to her line of work and the time frame that she needed as she was very soon to be a bridesmaid at her Sisters Wedding.

We started by whitening the teeth so that the new porcelain would be matched exactly to her new whiter tooth colour.  We used the art of ‘Smile Design’ to get the veneers made exactly to our and our patient’s specifications so that they would compliment our patient to the highest standard possible.

The Veneers were prepared on day one and the permanent veneers then placed 3 weeks later.  Our patient is delighted with the result and with her job based around the public she is much more confident to smile!  She also was very happy to show off her new smile with her Sister on her wedding day!

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!

Partial Closure of Midline Space with 6 Veneers

April 15th, 2011

       A patient of Creative Smiles recently came in with discoloured and poorly shaped teeth caused by years of tooth wear and a large space between her front teeth that had been there since childhood. Understandably she was very self conscious about smiling in photographs.

On this occasion Mr Gilbert decided to increase the length of the front 6 teeth using Porcelain Veneers and left a small midline space as this was a characteristic of the patients smile.

After seeing the finished results this lady was extremely happy and now smiles broadly for all photographs!

An Interesting Trauma Case at Creative Smiles!

February 8th, 2011
BEFORE
AFTER

Here you will see from the photographs an interesting Trauma Case treated with both Orthodontics and a combination of High Quality Porcelain Restorations!

This Gentleman came to Creative Smiles after Sustaining Trauma to his Upper Front Teeth.
Due to the extent of the Trauma his Upper Left Lateral Incisor Tooth (right side on photograph, 2nd tooth along) had to be removed leaving a gap.  His other front teeth were broken and discoloured due to nerve damage resulting from the trauma also.  This patient had protruding teeth to begin with which he was constantly aware therefore self conscious of so instead of just restoring the broken teeth resulting from the trauma, we suggested to take this prime opportunity to treat the protruding teeth and utilise the space produced by the missing lateral incisor tooth in order to achieve this!
The Front Six Teeth were retracted using an upper removable brace which brought them onto their natural position.
Whitening was carried out after alignment.
The case was then finished using a Combination of  High Quality Porcelain Crowns, Veneers and Bridgework to restore the discoloured and poorly shaped anterior teeth!
