Emma Story https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/emma-story/ Thu, 30 Nov 2023 08:22:26 +0000 https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/?p=2730

Orthodontist: Dr Kamal Ahmed, South Coast Orthodontics

Emma never developed 2 front teeth.

She had been wearing a removable plate for years, and as a young lady wanted a fixed option so she didn’t have to worry about her plate flapping about or needing to be taken out. She had been told there was no room for 2 tooth implant replacements.

The team at South Coast Smiles had Dr Kamal use orthodontics to move the roots of the teeth and create the space for the dental implants, then Dr Thangavel arranged the implants to be placed and had 2 natural ceramic crowns made to finish her smile off.

Emma is stoked with her new teeth and that she can bite into an apple without worrying about her plate coming loose.

Shopia Story https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/shopia-story/ Thu, 30 Nov 2023 08:18:50 +0000 https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/?p=2725

Sophia had had a knock to her front tooth many years ago. She had had a root canal and a crown placed.

Over the years the gum and underlying bone had receded, and showed her dark root canal treated tooth.

Sophia has a big smile and was conscious of the dark root ruining her smile.

As she had lost bone around the dark tooth, a simple replacement would have left her with an obvious looking replacement.

This case was treated with a team approach by Dr Kamal using braces on the top teeth only to help grow down and repair the damaged bone. Then Dr Thangavel and a periodontist (gum specialist) replaced the dark tooth with an implant and had a handcrafted porcelain crown specifically made to match her healthy neighbouring teeth.

The result is a broad smile with a replacement porcelain tooth that no one would ever guess had a damaged tooth and gum.

Kara Story https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/kara-story/ Thu, 30 Nov 2023 08:14:20 +0000 https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/?p=2720

Orthodontist:

Kara had always been self-conscious about her smile, they were crooked and discoloured.

Dr Thangavel trialled some temporary veneers and showed Kara what her teeth could look like.

As an additional option in her case, to improve the aesthetics and longevity of the veneers, Dr Thangavel suggested that she have Invisalign treatment with Dr Kamal before, to help align the foundations.

Invisalign could get the foundations straight, and then Veneers could fix the discolouration. For Kara it meant less side effects from the procedure and the handcrafted veneers would give an even better result.

Kara loves the results and wishes she had met the team at South Coast Smiles years ago.

Grace’s Reward for Bravery https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/graces-reward-for-bravery/ Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:45:02 +0000 https://southcoastorthodontics.com.au/?p=2469

Name: Grace
Age: 36
Occupation: Marketing Manager
Address: Fairy Meadow, New South Wales
Orthodontist: Dr Kamal Ahmed, South Coast Orthodontics

In her professional life, Grace is constantly interacting with clients. However, a source of personal discontent loomed for years – her smile. Adding to her predicament, she grappled with dental anxiety, avoiding dental visits for an extended period.

During her initial dental appointment, paralysing anxiety and overwhelming emotions prevented her from starting any treatment. However, Grace discovered a comforting solution – undergoing dental work while sedated, sparing her from the nerve-wracking sound of the drill.

After restoring her teeth to good health through cleaning and repairs, she selected Invisalign for teeth alignment. The process was straightforward. Consequently, she can now comfortably receive dental care without being sedated.

Subsequent to teeth straightening, Grace opted to have them whitened, and the damaged and chipped corners deftly repaired.

Today, Grace radiates confidence with her rejuvenated smile, and her friends frequently compliment her. Grace’s only regret is not discovering South Coast Orthodontics earlier, which would’ve helped her regain her smile sooner without the trauma and distress.

Charlie’s mum brought him in early as she was worried about his bite.

Charlies teeth were crooked and shifting his bottom jaw forward. As he was growing there was a good chance of it becoming permanent.

Charlie had upper braces only placed to correct the crooked teeth and his bottom jaw settled back into it’s proper position.
