Dental Notebox: Blog

It seems that wherever I look, and whoever I talk to, there is a conversation about how bad the NHS has become, and how every young dentist wants to be the next Insta-Dentist. 

Here is a case that if you don't plan properly, can quickly turn into a disaster! 

The short story here is that we need to get rid of the denture, we need a fixed set of teeth on implants (I think a bridge is too risky) and we need to make is look awesome. 

Having carried out hundreds of smile design treatments, I can say that it's pretty rare that a veneer comes off. 

Most of my patients will find me from social media, and I have a personal consultation with them and take all the appropriate records, including CBCT Scans. 

When I was a younger dentist, I would go on courses, learn new stuff, with the hope that my clinical life would be more interesting, and I could ultimately be more profitable. 

Getting great cosmetic results with your dentistry often means expanding your patients vision, so that they are able to see the bigger picture and choose a more comprehensive treatment plan. 

"..it doesn’t matter how many courses you go on for a subject, until you start, you will always be lower than a beginner. At least the beginner has started!"

We all know that dental implant treatment is fantastic for those patient who are looking to replace a missing tooth with the best solution that we currently have. 

(well, best in most cases)

As long as there is enough bone above the nerve, then it should be straight forward, right? 

Lets look at this case...

One of my team member is going to get married this year. 

She has terrible composite veneers. So I wanted to give here a great smile.
