My Tooth Whitening Experience

The colour of my teeth had always been something I was conscious of, I had often thought about whitening them but it wasn't until I began working at Absolute Dental that I finally had the chance.

The home whitening method that Absolute Dental use is quick, easy and effective and in just over 2 weeks of using the kit I had reached my desired shade.

Moulds were taken of my teeth and sent off for slim comfortable mouth guard type trays to be made to fit closely to my teeth, the whitening kit contains whitening gel in easy to dispense syringes, I simply placed small amounts of the gel into my trays and wore for 30 minutes in the morning when I woke up and then for another 30 minutes in the evening before going to bed. I marked the initial shade of my teeth on the shade chart provided so I could keep track on my progress.

The whole process was easy and painless, I couldn't be happier with the results and I can easily maintain the new shade by simply wearing the trays with gel for 30 mintes once every 1-2 months - or if I've got a special occasion coming up!

I love my new whiter teeth and my bigger, brighter more confident smile.

My Dental Implant Treatment at Absolute Dental - Part 2

My new dental implant was placed 4 months ago to replace a missing lower molar. This allowed enough time for the area to heal sufficiently, so it was time to have a crown fitted on it, this is the exciting bit!

I attended a short appointment with Rhodri John to have impressions taken of my lower and upper teeth; this is a completely painless procedure, no need for local anaesthetic injection.  This involves placing a gooey material over the teeth which sets very quickly and gives a very accurate imprint of the teeth. Also a shade was taken to ensure that the new implant crown would match my natural tooth colour.

Once the impressions are taken, they are sent to Kingsbridge Dental Laboratory where highly skilled dental technicians work their magic to manufacture the implant crown.

After 3 weeks, the big day had come and my new crown could be fitted: this again is a very straight forward procedure. Rhodri John placed the crown on the implant, making sure that it felt comfortable and not in the way of my bite. Depending on the position and design of the implant, the crown is either cemented on or simply screwed into the implant.

I am so pleased to have been able to replace a tooth that I missed so much and it looks so natural too. Having this implant placed restored my ability to chew and bite evenly, I could not recommend it enough.

Since the beginning of my career at Absolute Dental , I have seen many implants placed and so many very happy patients. Most of all I have seen many smiles being restored.

An implant is a great option to replace a missing tooth, the alternatives often being either a bridge or a removable denture which are for many a less desirable option.

If you are thinking about implant treatment or would like more information, please contact the Absolute Team who will be more than happy to help and can offer consultations with Rhodri John and Bill Beare.

Our Improved Recall and Reminder System at Absolute Dental

At Absolute Dental we know how busy life can be, and understand how times and dates can often roll into one- your doctors appointment, your hairdressers appointment, your childs nativity play, not forgetting your dental appointment with us in 6 months time. That's why, at the end of last year we decided to improve our reminder system to help you  remember when your appointment comes around.

The Absolute system already sends text message reminders but is now also capable of sending email confimations too! In this digital and mobile age, we feel this amendment to our confimation system is a real bonus, and the initial feedback from patients is very positive too.

The system will even tell us if the email or text for any reason has not been sent so we can give you a call instead.

So, please make sure that you give us your new mobile number or email address at your next visit so that you too can benefit from this very useful courtesy system.
