Six Month Smiles/6 Month Braces at the Dental Suite

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Six month braces/6 month smiles treatment is a great way of creating a beautiful straight smile in only a few months. Since we are the first practice in the Uk to offer this treatment, we have a wealth of experience in this field and have treated many cases so far.

An example of what can be achieved with 6 month braces is shown in the photos below. This lovely lady was unhappy about the appearance of her crowded teeth and decided to come to us to have the crowding corrected. The treatment took 6 and half months. She was fitted with fixed and removable retainers at the end of the 6 month braces treatment.

Inman Aligner at the Dental Suite

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Below are the photos of a recently completed Inman aligner case.

This lovely lady had braces when she was younger but unfortunately her teeth relapsed because she did not wear a retainer. She decided to straighten her teeth and she came to see us about this. She had mild crowding of her top front teeth and she was offered the options of traditional orthodontics, invisalign, 6 month smiles or the Inman aligner. The patient decided to go for the Inman aligner. She had to wear the Inman aligner for at least 16 hours a day and the teeth straightened in only 4 months! Once treatment was complete the patient was provided with a fixed retainer and a removable retainer as well.

Single Dental Implant

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

The general public is becoming more and more aware about the great advantages of dental implants in replacing missing teeth. We see many patients from local areas, such as Birstall, Thurmaston, Sileby and from further away areas such as Northampton or Peterborough, coming to us asking for dental implants.

We recently saw this patient who had a single dental implant to replace a missing teeth. She did not want a plate and did not want a bridge as did not want to have her healthy adjacent teeth cut down. An Astra Implant was used and it was restored with a high quality porcelain bonded to gold crown.

Inman Aligner

Monday, September 7th, 2009

We were extremely proud to be the first dental clinic to offer the Inman Aligner in Leicestershire. We have now completed many cases and below are the photos of a recently completed Inman Aligner case.

The Inman Aligner is a fantastic removable brace which can treat crowding of the front 4 teeth. Treatment can be as quick as 6 weeks!

The patient below had braces when she was younger but there had been some relapse and was unhappy about the overlapping front 2 teeth. She had the Inman Aligner for approx 14 weeks and was really pleased with the results.

Implant retained dentures

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Fed up of having loose dentures? Fed up of having to use messy glues to keep your dentures in? Why not consider having implant-retained dentures?

This treatment consists in having 4-6 implants per jaw and then placing a bar or some metal attachments on the implants and in this way the dentures can securely and tightly clip onto the implants. This will allow a very tight fit of the dentures.

Our dentist, Dr Kalpesh Bohara, recently completed this type of treatment on a patient from Nottingham. This pleasant lady had been wearing dentures for many years and was complaining about their looseness. She ended up having implants onto which a bar was attached allowing the upper denture to clip onto the bar. The results were excellent and the patients was extremely happy.
