SMILE DESIGNING

Image
What is a smile designing? Smile makeover? What serves as Cosmetic Dentistry? If we can provide the patient with better looking teeth does that serve the purpose? Sharing a case of functional restorations for a patient. We were able to get the front teeth looking a loot better by the time we finished. Along with this we have also repaired and restored broken back teeth and hopefully ensured that the patient will be able to chew better!

Orthodontics or Braces Treatment

Image
People often think that braces - wires - orthodontic treatment is for kids only. Here we have a case of a young lady, home maker and mother who had treatment done many years ago. Yet there were some issues that needed to be addressed and corrected. Treatment was done over a span of two years and things brought back on track to align all the teeth beautifully and correct some structural issues at the same time. We were able to restore worn down teeth and provide a functional bite... cosmetic or aesthetic correction added to the smile design in this case.

Implants for Removable Teeth

We noticed that last time we had put up a post with the title Implants for "Fixed" teeth. Many a times due to age / health / money / bone / tissue / other factors even though a patient may want or require fixed teeth this option is not feasible. A removable prosthesis ( denture ) works just fine if made well and with adequate support and retention. So combine the OLD with the NEW! get the best of both worlds... for a fraction of the cost too!  

Implants for Fixed Teeth

An interesting case where we were able to replace most of the missing back teeth for our patient. She had lost her teeth over time and perhaps never had the chance to do something about it. She wanted to actively solve the problem once and for all... and boy! did she hug me after having her chicken toast sandwich or what! It had been years since she was able to chew satisfactorily. That just makes one feel great!

Implant Supported Dentures

It does not matter how old you are. If you desire to get a well fitting denture that you can chew with it needs to be  A} Well made with adequate and correct measuements B} If you have a compromised condition then implants help in holding it firmly in place Any treatment - needs to be planned judiciously and keeping many factors in mind. If you are a good candidate... there is no reason why a satisfactory solution cannot be customized to suit your needs!
