Brightside Dental Smile of the Month November 2022

Conor visited Brightside Dental as he was unhappy with the appearance of his front left discoloured tooth.

Following a consultation with Dr Ronit Patel and a discussion of all the available treatment options, Conor chose to have a root canal treatment followed by internal and external bleaching of the discoloured tooth.

The root canal treatment was completed in one session, and then the whitening process was carried out over a few months, under regular review.

This was a minimally invasive and conservative treatment approach to improve the health and aesthetics of the discoloured tooth.

Other options would have included porcelain veneers or a crown (which requires preparation of the external surface of the tooth), but as you can see from the final outcome, taking a conservative approach can get excellent results.

Conor’s treatment consisted of:

  • Comprehensive examination including radiographs and digital photographs
  • Discussion of all options for improving the look of the discoloured front left tooth
  • Root canal treatment on the upper left front tooth
  • Internal and external bleaching (whitening) to naturally improve the colour of the tooth
  • Final restoration and polishing to seal the tooth

Here’s what Conor had to say about his treatment:

Brightside Dental Smile of the Month October 2022

Liam first visited Brightside Dental in 2021, after being recommended by a friend who had cosmetic dental treatment with us.

Liam knew what he wanted to change about his smile. His front teeth had become worn and discoloured over time. This left him unhappy with the colour of his teeth and the spaces between them.

Following a consultation with Dr Ketan Shah and a discussion on the available treatment options, Liam chose to have Invisalign clear aligner treatment to align his teeth and close the spaces.

The treatment went very smoothly and only took 10 visits to the practice in total from fitting of the aligners, over a period of under a year.

Less appointments were needed in the practice as we used Dental Monitoring, using advanced A.I. technology, to keep a weekly review on the progress of his treatment remotely. This suited Liam very well as he works outside of London and appointments that were required were pre planned to fit around his schedule.

Liam’s treatment consisted of:
• Invisalign teeth straightening
• Teeth whitening
• Composite bonding of the front teeth
• Retainers to prevent unwanted movement of the teeth
Liam has achieved the smile he always wanted in a very conservative manner with no damage to his teeth and is now all set for his upcoming wedding.

Watch Liam share his experience of the process and how he feels about his new smile:

Brightside Dental Smile of the Month August 2022

Ron had been a regular patient of Dr Paarth Darbar and Brightside Dental for almost five years. Over this period, we carried out routine treatments such as fillings, extractions and dental hygiene treatment.

During these visits Ron often mentioned how we has unhappy with the appearance of his front teeth, which had multiple fillings which had to be replaced on multiple occasions, and had become worn, stained and chipped. Having discoloured, chipped teeth affected his confidence, and he was self-conscious when smiling.

Ron was an anxious patient and had never previously discussed his concerns with a dentist. Over the course of a couple of visits, we went into a lot of detail and outlined all his options. We discussed porcelain veneers and crowns, a combination of both, and also a new fresh set of composite bonding. We even managed to give him a preview of what his teeth would like after treatment through something called a ‘Wax Up’.

Ron decided that he wanted to have something that would last and not stain so frequently as his previous composite fillings. With this in mind, Ron decided to have porcelain veneers placed for his front four teeth.

We arranged a digital scan for Ron and got him started on his journey by freshening up his smile with Enlighten premium teeth whitening. Ron got a custom set of whitening trays along with whitening gel, which he used for two weeks at home. This was followed by an hour session of whitening in the practice.

We then went ahead with the veneers over two visits. The first visit we removed the old fillings and prepared the teeth and fitted Ron with some provisional restorations which were to the same shape as the planned veneers. This enables Ron to test out his new smile. He was over the moon with the temporaries and some of his friends thought they were the real ones!

Ron was having custom made veneers, which meant in between visits he went to visit the lovely lab technician team at Luke Barnett, and designed the veneers along with the technician. He got to decide the shape, size and exact colour he wanted. On the second visit to Brightside we fitted his veneers. Ron was extremely pleased with the result, which was planned in detail to give a predictable end result.

Here is what Ron has to say about his experience:

When carefully planned and designed, we can achieve amazing, long-lasting results with teeth whitening porcelain veneers, with minimal tooth preparation. If you would like to find out more please contact us on  020 88884401.

Teeth whitening is a simple way to achieve a brighter smile and can make you look younger.

It is important to have an assessment to confirm that you are suitable to have teeth whitening before going ahead with treatment. You may often see teeth whitening advertised in beauty salons and kits that can be ordered on the internet, however may people don’t know that this may be illegal practice of dentistry and many of these products can damage your teeth.  The General Dental Council advise that treatment should only be carried out by a trained dental professional.
