Photos and Radiographic records |
|
Photos and radiographic records were taken to allow accurate assessment of
the existing dentition (development and arrangement of teeth in his mouth)
and to give John a visual view of the treatment needed. |
|
Preventative care (Dental prophylaxis) |
|
Deep scaling and polishing to remove the buildup of heavy plaque (also known
as calculus and tartar) and staining on John's teeth, helping prevent
cavities and gum disease |
|
Oral hygiene routine - Cariscreen and caries free rinse program. Custom trays of tooth mousse were
created for home use, which will help prevent tooth decay (that can lead to
cavities, pain, tooth loss and infection) and minimise intrinsic staining
(white specs on teeth). |
|
White fillings
- To rejuvenate his teeth, broken amalgam fillings were replaced with white
fillings for a more natural, comfortable smile. Porcelain onlays were
created for a more functional, longer lasting and aesthetic appearance.
|
|
Crown and bridge work
- John was given 4 new crowns and a 3 unit bridge (inlay/onlay) inserted. The
material used has a zirconia framework which greatly increases the strength
whilst also providing optimum aesthetics. The dental bridge was used to
replace missing teeth and was fixed into John's mouth via adjoining crowns.
Crowns were used to cover and protect John's worn or broken down individual
teeth. A custom shade is taken of the teeth to allow the crowns and bridges
to be matched creating a natural looking smile.

|
Teeth whitening
- BriteSmile whitening of John's teeth to perfectly match the custom crown and
bridge work performed. Custom trays were also made to give John a take home
whitening maintenance program to help sustain his whiter smile. |

Results = A painless straighter whiter smile.
