Our case of the month for October involves a smile transformation using multiple porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are very fine, intricate facings that are placed over teeth to improve the overall aesthetic appearance and symmetry. There are a number of reasons why porcelain veneers may be used which could be:
 

• Chipped, fractured front teeth
• Discolouration
• Spacing
• Reinforcement due to past root canal treatment
• Asymmetry such as small, peg shaped teeth

Our case of the month for September 2017 is a wonderful teeth straightening case using one of our favourite braces- Social 6 lingual brace. Lingual braces are placed on the INSIDE of your teeth which means it is the only invisible brace treatment available. Other techniques such as Invisalign or Six Month Smiles may say their treatment is discreet but there is only one truly invisible brace. Aside from this, most treatments are incredibly quick. We have found the average time to be 3-4 months. This really flies by and the brace is removed before you know it. Another huge bonus is that the brace is only placed on 6 teeth making it the smallest fixed brace on the market and therefore very comfortable. 

Here is a case we completed today:
 

Our case of the month for August is one involving a Social 6 lingual brace for the lower front teeth. Our client really disliked the crowding with the lower front teeth and was desperate for a solution prior to her wedding.

The Social 6 lingual brace is attached to just the front 6 teeth acting on the front 4 teeth i.e the Social aspect of your smile. It is also placed on the INSIDE of the teeth and hence is the only 'invisible' brace. Due to the great technology of the brackets and wires and the skill of our Principle Dentist Dr Nissit Patel, we can straighten the front teeth in a matter of weeks rather than years.

One of our favourite treatments is cosmetic bonding. We can create stunning smiles in just one appointment, without drilling your teeth, without needles and without any pain. What's more, the treatment is far more affordable than porcelain veneers for example. What is involved? Cosmetic bonding can be explained in 5 simple steps:
 

1. Full clinical examination (of course!!)
2. Photographs and possibly a diagnostic wax up of the proposed new shape of your teeth
3. Mock up to visualise the end result
4. Cosmetic bonding completed using the latest high tech composite white fillings
5. Monitoring and maintenance

For the best result, we advise tooth whitening prior to cosmetic bonding. The gold standard is Philips ZOOM LED in surgery whitening followed by a period of home whitening.

Our case of the month for May 2017 involves treatment of tooth decay using our incredible Waterlase i Plus laser. This highly sophisticated technology allows us to treat tooth decay without having to drill the tooth and without any anaesthetic in most cases. Just think; dentistry without drilling and without needles! Just take a look at our case:
 

We forgot to post our case of the month for April 2017! Well, it is worth waiting for! The case highlights what can be done with modern day dentistry- straight teeth in a matter of weeks without anyone knowing that you are wearing a brace! Just take a look:
 

Our case of the month for March is one involving dental implants to replace missing back teeth. Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth to allow you to chew and enjoy your food; after all, there are few greater pleasures in life than eating! Our case was missing a premolar and a back tooth. Just take a look at the great results we achieved:
 

Our case of the month for February is simply incredible. As you may know, we practice minimally invasive dentistry or MI dentistry. The philosophy of this is to be as minimal as possible, preserve what nature gave use and enhance rather than destroy. Smile design and makeovers in the past involved major destruction of the teeth. You only had to watch 'Extreme Makeover' to see how teeth were cut into little pegs and the smile transformed with porcelain veneers. Will this last a life time? We think not; simply a ticking time bomb for future problems. Our smile makeover involves three simple steps; ABC A is for alignment. Straighten teeth using adult orthodontics, quickly and discreetly B is for bleaching. Whiten using our proven techniques C is for composite bonding. Enhance the teeth for that WOW factor Just take a look at our case:
 

It is a new year and what better way to start the year than to improve your smile. After all, a smile says a thousand words and oozes confidence and self belief.

Our case of the month is a fabulous one involving cosmetic bonding. What is cosmetic bonding? Well in simple terms, it is the enhancement of teeth using the most modern and aesthetic composite filling material. The major advantages are that there is NO drilling and NO needles required. There is NO pain and the treatment is affordable.

Why wait? Exactly!
