 | Dr James Russell, senior associate at The London Smile Clinic, was the big winner at the 2009 Smile Awards. The awards were set up to "recognise and award those dentists practising at the highest level of aesthetic dentistry." James won the Conservative Smile award for his use of a single veneer to mask a dark front tooth, blending the result perfectly into the surrounding teeth. |
He was also Highly Commended in the Restorative Smile category for his use of 10 veneers to create a beautifully natural smile AND finally, James provided the clinical work for an implant supported bridge that won the Aesthetic Technician award. | |
Problem: This patient was very unhappy with her gummy and uneven smile and the crowding of her lower teeth.
Solution: A gum lift procedure was used to raise the gum level and eight veneers were used to straighten and whiten the upper teeth. Over the same period, the lower teeth were straightened with an Inman aligner. The whole treatment took two months, all in time for her 25th birthday!
Problem: The patient had alway been unhappy with his smile, but the degree of wear and crowding had been getting worse over the years.
Solution: A combination of treatment including gum lift, porcelain veneers and cosmetic contouring were used to restore his worn and uneven teeth. He now feels much more confident to smile again!
