Case Study on Dental Implants and Ceramic Crowns

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Here is one of our patients Caroline who has undergone treatment for dental implants and ceramic crowns.

Why I started
All of my life I had hated the dentist, only ever attended in pain and yes, I’d been stupid and always asked to just ‘pull it out’.

How would I regret it later? At the age of 45, I had a high power job, socially I had a very demanding job and had the added problem of a denture and teeth that just didn’t match my personality.

The Procedure
After lots of market research, I shopped around but as soon as I walked into the APT office, I knew this would be the place I was going to receive my treatment. The dentist was so competent, confident that I decided after two thorough visits, consultants and discussion I was ready to proceed.

The procedure I did choose to have was sedation. A procedure where I simply felt tired, relaxed and all by placing a small injection into the back of my hand- pure bliss.

The overall treatment was to last 6 months – I was to have dental implants in my lower jaw and replace my crown work on the upper.

Implant Replacement
I have to admit this was the treatment I was most apprehensive about even after sedation. After the procedure I did feel tender, had swelling but after two days I was back to work.

The dentist had simply placed four small titanium screws into my lower jaw and onto these to these he would place my new teeth. Simply they replaced the roots. Whilst the bone was to stick to the implants he started on the upper ones which had been placed years ago

The procedure involved drilling of my old crowns which was so much more simpler than I had ever expected. 

The Results

My temporaries looked beautiful as Dr Broughton had already added length which gave me a beautiful full lip and two weeks later the results were even better.

Take a look at the photographs – I can’t believe it and I have the before and after pictures on my desk for everyone to see. I simply can’t believe it.

I left it far too long. Yes, I have sedation for my treatment but I enjoy visiting now. My smile has transformed my face, I have a much fuller lip, my jowls have disappeared and I’ve got a much different outlook on dentists thanks to Dr Broughton, APt and his staff.

APT says
Dental implants are the idea solution to replace missing teeth. With advancements in technology, same day teeth are now available that can completely transform peoples lives. Implants can be used to replace single teeth, full dentures or even partial dentures.

It is important that a thorough assessment of bone levels, medical history and past dental history is obtained. The procedure is a surgical procedure but is forever evolving with minimal discomfort to the patient.

With Caroline, combining implants, crowns and bridgework completely rejuvenated her smile, her facial appearance and changed her whole outlook on dentistry. Dentistry is changing – advances in technique enlighten the whole experience and yes most of our patients smile!

Do you have a perfect smile?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Does a smile have to be perfect? Does it have to be white? Well, what I always say is – it’s simply down to the individual client.  I always get asked to recreate smiles, but what makes a beautiful smile?  Yes teeth,  but also gums and lips are “the frame”.

Every smile is an individual piece of art. Some clients ask for that perfect smile, attend with pictures of Angelina Jolie, Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and yes, we can recreate but  individuals attend with requests for a more natural approach,  Louis Walsh is a perfect example of this.

The secret of a good smile design is to keep it simple, keep the patient in mind with regards to costs, maintenance and longevity.  Yes it’s true, a washing machine, a car or a smile doesn’t last forever – it will require maintenance and replacement.

Before and After Veneers

         

Smile design is a craft, a piece of art can cost as little or as much as you want to pay. All you have to do is ask the right questions and the dental team should deliver.
