I''ve shown a few of these cases but I do love them. They represent a really quick and cost effective way to enhance a smile and protect the teeth from further wear and tear. The whitening takes two weeks and then the build ups are done in one day so the whole process can be very quick. There is no drilling to the teeth and so no local anaesthetic is required. The white fillings are built … [Read more...]

These two cases show just how well Fibre Reinforced Composites can help us to treat potentially complex cases in quick, cost effective and minimally invasive way. Both cases were completed by Russell Blanchard and both were completed in one visit with no need for any extensive drilling, impressions or local anaesthetic. These techniques are possible because we use very strong glass fibre … [Read more...]

The front tooth took a terrific knock in a football match and needed a direct white filling to rebuild it. We were able to build it up in 1 visit and the second photo shows it 1 month later, fortunately symptom free and comfortable for chewing with. The tooth … [Read more...]

Unfortunately there was very little space between the broken surface and the opposing teeth. Any attempt to restore this tooth with conventional techniques would have been very short term as the bite would have broken away any … [Read more...]
