MY PORTFOLIO

The patient attended the practice unhappy with their lower anterior teeth, which was mobile and discoloured. They struggled to bite food and wanted to discuss replacement options for it.

Once the lower anterior was extracted due to periodontal disease, an immediate acrylic denture was initially fitted. Once healing was complete, a lower cobalt chrome Scandinavian-design denture was fitted.

The patient attended the practice unhappy with their smile, citing a lack of confidence due to their teeth. Initially, we discussed prevention and OHI after years of tooth surface loss due to numerous fizzy drinks consumed while at work.

The injection moulding technique I learnt in a Smile Direct composite course enabled a minimally invasive smile design makeover.

The patient was referred from a local homeless trust after years of dental neglect.

The patient has gained confidence in their smile, showcasing the life-changing impact dentures can have.

The patient had undergone trauma to the upper central incisors following a sporting injury. The patient had root canal treatment for both upper central incisors.

Fibre posts were placed, and a monolithic zirconia crowns were fitted.

The patient has a public-facing job and felt embarrassed talking to clients due to the exposed metal of old crowns and bridges and the discolouration of their teeth.

Initially, the patient's old crown and bridges were removed to assess restorability. Minimally invasive vertical preps were done before new crowns, bridges and veneer were fitted.

The patient attended an emergency appt complaining of lower left 1st molar pain. Diagnosed with Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis, I extirpated and planned for Root canal treatment of LL6.

The patient was unhappy with their upper partial acrylic denture due to poor retention. Their lower anterior was mobile due to periodontal disease.

The lower anterior teeth were extracted, and an immediate temporary bridge LR3 - LL3 was fitted. Three months later, a definitive bridge was fitted, and an upper cobalt chrome Scandinavian-design denture was fitted.

The patient fractured UR1 due to trauma. Discussed treatment options, including composite veneers and porcelain veneers.

Porcelain Veneer UR1 fitted with good colour match and gum integration.

The patient visited me after years of dental neglect, resulting in a collapsed bite, missing posterior teeth and worn-down anterior teeth

By reorganising the patient's bite, six post-core crowns were placed, composite bonding for their lower anterior and upper and lower cobalt chrome dentures were fitted to give a wonderful transformation.
