Minimal porcelain veneers and composite bonding- Case by Chris Ibbott

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:38:40 +0000

This young lady from Sevenoaks came to us with several concerns. Firstly she felt her front two teeth were too long and also she did not like the white marks (fluorosis) on her front teeth. Her two central incisors had been restored in the past but the material had stained and the teeth were now darker.

We discussed a few treatment options and decided we would restore the two central incisors with porcelain laminate veneers and the lateral incisors and canines with direct composite resin. The patient whitened her teeth with a home tooth whitening system first.

She was very happy with the result and said now she can’t stop smiling. Quite a change for someone who hated smiling in photographs!

16 week Inman aligner case- Case by Chris Ibbott

This lady from Bromley was unhappy with the crooked front teeth. She wanted her teeth straightened but did not want fixed braces. Her case took 16 weeks to complete with an upper Inman aligner. The patient then used a home whitening kit and we finished with some composite edge bonding on three of the front teeth. Job done!

This lady knew that she needed some fillings but had been busy with life work, etc and didn’t get around to having the treatment (despite our advice!) for a year or so. She was rather horrified when we showed her this picture of what was found when we started removing the decay in her three back molar teeth. Fortunately we were able to painlessly place these great looking direct adhesive composite fillings and she’s good as new!

We prefer to use these white filling materials to dental amalgam as these materials bond to the tooth structure allowing us to keep the filling as small as possible and we believe that it will reduce the chance of chips and cracks in the teeth.

The moral of the story however! Get the treatment done as soon as you can. It will mean smaller fillings, less time in the chair, less chance of toothache and less of a dent in your wallet! And make sure you cut down on that sugar intake and keep up with the fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash afterwards.

If you know you need some treatment and you’d like your teeth back to ‘good as new’, please give us a call!

An amazing natural smile in far less than 6 months.

The Inman Aligner is one of the fastest and simplest ways to get a great smile.

Using a fully removable brace that only needs to be worn 16-20 hours a day you can get the smile you always wanted in normally only 6- 16 weeks. Because of the intermittent but gentle motion used by the Inman Aligner, studies show that the forces it uses are extremely safe. These intermittent gentle forces also mean that the Inman Aligner works far more quickly than other Clear Aligner systems and often costs far less. And it means that if you want to take it out when you go out, you can!!

Because the brace can be removed so easily, patients can easily whiten their teeth simultaneously meaning we can perform amazing non invasive smile makeovers in a matter of weeks.

Patients who ever thought about having veneers should really take a look at the Inman Aligner with combined tooth whitening because they might find that they could get a far more natural smile with no damage done to their teeth at all.

Not every case is suitable but if you are you would be amazed what is possible- take a look at the Inman Aligner Gallery on our website.

All treatments are available with Interest free credit- call 02088508820 for more information.

Want Straighter teeth? let us help you

admin — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 16:21:19 +0000

Many adults have crooked, crowded or protruding front teeth and wish for them to be straighter . Often they are reluctant to seek treatment for this ,mainly due to concerns regarding cost,length of treatment time ,and the discomfort that may be involved. Traditionally the only option for the treatment of crooked front teeth would be either to have fixed braces or veneers. Fixed brace treatment can take 1-2 years to complete and veneers require drilling down the teeth. Fortunately the introduction of the Inman Aligner has revolutionised the way that we at Dental Elegance treat crooked front teeth.

Have a look at our case studies to see the before and after photos of our patients.

If you would like to see if an Inman Aligner could help you achieve straighter teeth then why don’t you call us today on 0208 8508820. Our friendly team will arrange a free no-obligation consultation for you.

Straighten, Whiten and Bond.

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:13:48 +0000

Straightening, whitening and bonding is the newest ethical fashion in Cosmetic Dentistry. In the old days veneers were used to give patients smile makeovers, but now mainly because of the Inman Aligner, straightening is so much faster and more simple that dentists have been changing the way they practice and the choices they offer their patients.

Porcelain veneers are still often necessary, but if your teeth can be aligned, and whitened, why cut them back to place veneers.?
We often find that patients who want veneers, usually then DONT once they have aligned their teeth.
Our effective great value home whitening kits work in only 35 mins a day and with Inman Aligner treatment, we will often do this at the same time as your straightening.

After straightening, many adults still have slightly worn irregular tooth edges that then need building. This is done with composite bonding often without ANY tooth removal. This can produce a beautiful outline and can easily match the beauty of a porcelain veneer smile makeover at a fraction of the cost and without any damage done to your teeth at all.

This type of treatment is being hailed as the Ultimate in Ethical Cosmetic Dentistry.

admin — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:56:53 +0000

Dr. Tif Qureshi was honored to be asked to lecture on Inman Aligners as the University of Southern California last week at the USC restorative symposium in LA.

His work with Inman Aligners in the UK is now been seen and heard by an International Dental audience, because of the impact it has had on cosmetic dentistry in the Uk and Europe.

We developed the use of the Aligner at Dental Elegance to a level way beyond anything being done in the US and now teaching there will start there too.

Tif will return to the US in February to lecture at the Chicago Midwinter meeting and then with a Hands on Inman Aligner course in Orlando in March.
