Replacement Crowns to Rejuvenate your Smile!

April 25th, 2012

This lady from Newry came to see us at Creative Smiles on a recommendation from a Friend.  Her two front Crowns were her main concern.  She had them placed 12 years ago and felt that they looked dated  in comparison to the rest of her teeth.  She  felt that they looked yellow, bulky and too square in shape so she wanted the appearance of them improved to make them look more life-like!

 

After discussing this patient’s options with her in great detail we initially whitened the teeth using a take home tray system.  Once the desired Whitening result had been achieved we then removed the existing Crowns and replaced them with a High Quality Porcelain.  As you can see this has brought this Lady’s smile right back to life again.!

She said that having this procedure done has made her more confident with her Smile and that she would recommend Creative Smiles to anyone!

Make it a White Christmas!

November 28th, 2011

Many of us will be planning what to wear for all our upcoming Christmas Partys!

What a better way to boost your confidence with a sparkling white smile to match your new outfit!!

Whitening your teeth can be a low cost, simple way of really making you feel better about the way you look.  One of the major benefits is that it is a very  non- invasive Treatment!

At Creative Smiles we are keeping our Christmas Tooth Whitening Offer Prices until the end of December and are offering Complimentary Consultations to assess your suitability!

We provide Zoom 2 AP whitening at Creative Smiles!  (As seen on extreme make-over) This is the latest, most advanced and successful way to whiten your teeth.  The advantage of the Zoom 2 procedure is that it is carried out in the dental chair in one hour using a special light which activates the bleaching agent on your teeth. 

We also offer Tray-kit Whitening. This technique can be used on its own and is the most common form of tooth whitening. Custom made trays are made based on accurate impressions taken of your teeth. These are then processed at our laboratory.  Upon their return we fit your individual trays and provide you with all required instructions with a full bleaching kit which you administer for 20 days on a daily basis for 4 hour sessions. We monitor your progress throughout the whitening procedure, and take before and after photographs. 

We offer Various In-house Payment Plans at Creative Smiles which allows our patient’s to spread the cost and achieve the smile you desire!  systems!

We also have Gift Vouchers Available if you would like to treat some-one special this Christmas!!!

New EU Rules on Whitening

November 25th, 2011

In October this year the EU brought forward new rules to regulate the whitening of teeth.  Until now it has been somewhat of a legal grey area, with the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations being at odds with the Dentists Act 1984 which make it illegal for anyone who is not a dentist to preform the business of dentistry – the position held by the General Dental Council.

The EU clarifies this, making it clear that only very weak whitening products (those containing less than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide) can be purchased freely by consumers.

 Any stronger whitening products can then only be supplied to dentists and used under their supervision.

In simple terms what this means is that only dentists will be able to perform tooth whitening, in a safe, regulated and legal way for patients, and will make unregulated high street “whitening studios” illegal.

These regulations apply to Hydrogen Peroxide which is the only safe, researched method for tooth whitening, however some high street whitening studios are using Chlorine Dioxide which is not safe for teeth.  Many of the Chlorine Dioxide gels are acidic. The pH range is from 1-3. As a result of the acid effect directly on the teeth, the resultant effect is that of etching the tooth permanently.   The tooth looses its tooth lustre or shine and this can be a permanent effect. Many of the clients have reported that the teeth seem to pick up further staining and become even more discoloured than before the treatment.  The resulting discolouration is yellow to brown. Many patients report increased  tooth sensitivity which is difficult to manage and not easy to desensitise.  If you are considering tooth whitening you should askl what is being used, any Dentist will be happy to tell you!

 The UK along with all other EU countries will have 1 year to add this to their national laws.

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!

‘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 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!

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!

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!
