Examination and treatment plan

Worn front teeth rebuilt

2 appointments

1. Came in with

   Front teeth shortened and chipped by years of night grinding.

2. What we did

   Composite bonding on six upper teeth, then a hard night splint.

3. Where they got to

   Edges rebuilt to their original length and a splint made to protect them.

Crowding corrected with aligners

9 months

1. Came in with

   Overlapping lower front teeth that had relapsed after childhood braces.

2. What we did

   Clear aligners over nine months, then fixed and removable retainers.

3. Where they got to

   Aligned and retained, with the crowding that trapped plaque removed.

Single missing tooth replaced

5 months end to end

1. Came in with

   A gap from an extraction, with the neighbouring teeth beginning to tilt.

2. What we did

   CBCT planning, implant placement, four months of healing, then the crown.

3. Where they got to

   An implant-supported crown matched to the adjacent teeth.

Every case is different. These are examples of work carried out here, not a prediction of your own result — that can only be given after an examination.

1. 01

   Examination

   A full look at the teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, with the radiographs that are due. Nothing is treated at this appointment.

2. 02

   Your written plan

   We go through what we found, what the options are, and what each one costs. You take the plan away; there is no pressure to decide in the chair.

3. 03

   Treatment

   Booked in the order that matters clinically — pain and disease first, then function, then appearance. Longer appointments if you are nervous.

4. 04

   Review and maintenance

   A check that the work has settled, then a recall interval set by your own risk rather than a fixed six months.
