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!

‘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!

Latest Update on Dental Whitening

May 11th, 2011

Tooth Whitening is the most common cosmetic dental procedure. On the National and Regional news recently tooth whitening has been a hot topic for discussion. Thousands of people have their teeth whitened every year in High Streets and shopping centres, by staff with no formal dental training. The General Dental Council are calling for tougher controls on who is allowed to carry out tooth whitening in the UK.

The General Dental Council is an organisation that regulates Dental Professionals in the UK. Their purpose is to protect the public, and they do this by registering qualified professionals, setting standards of dental practice and conduct, assuring the quality of dental education, ensuring professionals keep up-to-date, helping patients with complaints and working to strengthen patient protection.

After complaints about poor treatment, the council says teeth whitening is a dental procedure so only dental professionals should administer it.
However, teeth-whitening companies say it is a cosmetic not dental process.
A non- dental professional has no knowledge of dental disease and cannot diagnose any problems in patients that could potentially have a detrimental effect to their teeth if they carry out the whitening. Common complaints are stripping of the enamel, whitening of the gums, extreme sensitivity and in some cases teeth becoming yellow instead of white! At Creative Smiles we have seen some of the these complaints from patients who have had their teeth whitened on the High Street.
The General Dental Council successfully prosecuted the director of a national chain of tooth-whitening salons in March this year – and is warning it will bring similar proceedings in the future. Its view is supported by the Department of Health, which says tooth whitening should be performed by a suitably trained and competent dentist or dental-care professional.
At Creative Smiles we appreciate that tooth whitening is a very beneficial treatment. We will gladly discuss individual needs and expectations. We can only advise our patients of the safest options for tooth whitening. It is a very simple and effective treatment when carried out by qualified registered dental professionals.

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!

                                                                                                        Fabulous Results once again at Creative Smiles using modern state of the art Cosmetic Dentistry!

Another ABB Case Completed at Creative Smiles!

This lady from Belfast was concerned that when she smiled she could see a cross- over on her  2 front teeth . She was not happy with the Colour of her teeth nor the shape of her 2nd tooth on the upper left hand side of the photo (patient’s right)  This tooth actually is her canine tooth as she is missing a lateral incisor tooth here.

ABB was the Perfect Treatment choice here for this lady using a conservative approach to Cosmetic Dentistry.

The Invisalign ‘virtually invisible brace’ was used here initially to align the teeth into position and correct the cross-over on the 2 front teeth.  The teeth were then whitened during the alignment process.

This case was then finished using a ‘Cosmetic Bonding’  Technique which reshaped the Canine  tooth (2nd along on the left hand side of photograph) to make it more like what a lateral incisor tooth should be.

This case tooth 9 Months in total to complete.

 A Smile Make-over complete and another happy patient leaving Creative Smiles with a confident smile!

Invisalign Tooth Straightening!

AFTER INVISALIGN

This young lady came to see us at Creative Smiles wishing to have a Smile Makeover.  She was very self consious about her teeth and a lot of the time had her hand positioned across her mouth so that people could not see her teeth.  We presented her with all her available options and she decided to wear our Virtually Invisalible Brace ‘Invisalign’ .  This was the ideal choice for this patient’s individual needs as she wished to have a discreet brace fitted so that no-one could see and one that would not effect her speech for work purposes.
This individual case took 1 year and 5 months to complete.  The invisalign Aligners using state of the art technology from the States moved the teeth gently into alignment until they were in the perfect position.
We also provided the patient with a Complimentary Whitening Kit * This offer applies to all our Patient’s here at Creative Smiles*
To finish off we replaced some old discoloured white fillings on the front teeth using a technique called ’cosmetic bonding’ to improve tooth proportions!
A fantastic result as you can see and a very happy young lady who is now very confident with her smile so much so that she is now wearing lipstick for the first time ever!

From lacking in confidence to grinning from ear to ear in less than 6 Months!!

This gentleman was very unhappy with his teeth, especially with the two gaps on either side of his front teeth.  So much so that he rarely smiled.
We used a very conservative approach to treating this case by using ABB.  Initially a little removable brace was fitted to align the upper teeth into position.
The Teeth were Whitened during the alignment process.
The case was then finished by using a technique called ‘Cosmetic Bonding’ to fill in the residule spaces along with  contouring of the edges then finished this case!
This whole Treatment took less than 6 months.  How powerful is the concept of ABB!

Create a New Whiter Smile for 2011!!

January 20th, 2011

Thursday 20th January

A New Year has begun and with it another opportunity to reassess and go forward!

Many of us will by now have started a new health regime involving healthy eating or a form of exercise plan to shake off the festive excess!  What a better way to boost your confidence and start the New Year in style than with a sparkling white smile!!

 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 February and are offering Complimentary Consultations to assess your suitability!

 We provide Zoom 2 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.  The Zoom 2 procedure investment is £399.
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.  The investment for this treatment is £299.
After many years of carrying out whitening treatments here at our practice, we have found best results are achieved from using both of the above treatments together.   This is called ‘Combination Whitening’ This involves initially having the Zoom 2 procedure carried out then continuing with the tray system as explained above to ‘top-up’ immediately after  Zoom 2.  The advantage of this is the tray system can then be used for further bleaching you may like to carry out further down the line in six months time for example or for a special occasion as there tends to be a slight fade-off with any bleaching system after a long period of time.  Combination Whitening provides the best treatment for long-term results.
Combination Whitening is priced at a discount investment of £479.
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!  This means you can have Zoom 2 Whitening for £39.90 per month (as little as £1.33 per day!)

We offer ‘Complimentary Assessments’ in order to assess suitability for our whitening systems!

We also have Gift Vouchers Available upon request!

For further information and assistance please Contact our Creative Smiles Patient Care Co-ordinator Leanne Hynes!

The new you starts here at Creative Smiles!
