When the new veneers were fitted the patient was over the moon and has gone away delighted.

Should he go for veneers  to close the gaps in his mouth or would Orthodontics be the best option?

Both practitioners have seen the patient seperately and together for appointments and a good treatment plan is still being worked out. Xray and study models and diagnostic wax ups have been constructed and at the next appointment the patient is going to decide on the future of his new smile.

Will keep you posted.

Shes been looking forward to this for almost a year & now it has finally come!!!

Cannot belive that now that the schools are going back in Scotland it really is now the run up to Christmas. People are already starting to enquire about gift vouchers for presents.

Our Ultimate tooth whitening package “Enlighten” seems to be on the top of folks Christmas wish lists. We have had a great response in regards to this package and more patients than ever are opting for this rather than  other whitening systems we have on offer.

The good thing is that once the patient sees the fantastic results the Enlighten produces  they more often than not want to go ahead with other cosmetic treatment.

Veneers are another best seller at Christmas. With our Cerec veneers patients are able to walk out of the surgery on the same day with a whole new smile.

At least we have a few days off after all that hard work to recuperate !

Rita and the patient decided that after seeing Heather he was going to start a course of our Ultimate whitening system, Enlighten. This consists of trays being made by Enlighten themselves and them being worn, with whitening gel for 14 nights. On the 15th day or the closest thing to it we would have the patient back into the surgery for an hour course of laser whitening.

When happy with the results of the whitening and when Rita has done some minor fillings in posterior teeth to bring the patient back up to full dental health then the wotk starts on his front veneers.

Patient is very pleased that this work is being carried out and can’t wait to see the results.

Having completed my science doctorate/PhD in 1991, I felt that a career in dentistry would suit a part of my character which places great importance on paying attention to detail, which in turn leads to successful outcomes. After qualifying in dentistry in 1996 with commendation, I have thoroughly enjoyed life as a dentist and worked in the Glasgow area since then, honing my dental skills along the way. I soon came to the conclusion that preventatively orientated dentistry should be paramount, ‘prevention is better than cure’, and as a result promote several options that are not always available on the NHS system. My belief is that everyone should be given a choice of all up to date treatment and reasonable options available. With this approach in mind I have a specialised interest in the use of white/tooth coloured restoratives as these have been shown to preserve and increase tooth lifespan as opposed to standard fillings. They can be used as an alternative to and also prevent the later need for crowns and veneers as sound tooth structure is maintained in all cases. Also in this ever changing world that is more cosmetically aware, I am able to provide veneers/crowns where appropriate and resin restorative build ups together with the use of Botox anti wrinkle treatment for both young and more senior members of the community. In recent years I have attained a qualification in advanced dental acupuncture, a useful tool which can be used to treat general stress, anxiety, dental jaw muscle pain and those individuals with a prominent gag reflex. All preliminary discussions on any matter are most welcome. Thankyou

Roll on the weekend !!

There are many treatments available. All of our dental team can discuss all the options available to you.

• veneers- a relatively conservative procedure to improve crooked, chipped or heavily retored teeth. A small layer of the top surface of your front teeth is removed and then using a custom made bespoke porcelain veneer, your smile is “holywood smile”. This can be made using our cerec studio on the same day.
• tooth whitening- if you just don’t like the colour of your teeth then they can be lightened using our laser and @ home whitening systems. Within an hour you can have white teeth.
• crowns- these are porcelain covers which cover the entire tooth.

At Bath Street Dental Practice our very skilled and helpful team will be able answer any questions regarding your smile needs.
