It's early in June but we could not wait to post our case of the month. As you may be aware, we believe in the least invasive techniques to create stunning smiles which look natural and healthy. After all, it is pretty obvious when a smile is false- just look at various celebrities on TV (no names mentioned!) 

Our patient requested a drastic improvement on his smile using lingual braces as he did not want the brace to be visible for work reasons. The treatment was a great success and the improvement as profound. We discussed the need for teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding after treatment to enhance symmetry. Often, teeth are asymmetrical due to tooth wear, grinding at night, genetic reasons or past treatments. 

Pre treatment:
 

Our case of the month for October is a tooth whitening case using one of our most popular techniques: take home trays. Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment. Having whiter, brighter teeth that look clean and healthy is desirable and confidence boosting. The treatment is available to all with their own teeth!
  

THE PROCESS

1. A full clinical examination is required prior to any cosmetic dental procedure.
2. It is highly advised that you visit the hygienist prior to any tooth whitening procedure.
3. Impressions are then taken of your teeth. 
4. The specially made trays are fitted and a demonstration is required to show how to use the whitening gel properly. 
5. The trays and gel are worn for 1 hour a day over 2 weeks. 
6. Whiter teeth! 
7. The trays and gel can be used as a top up over the following months/ years. A typical example is presented below:
