10 Years Younger in 10 Days – Episode 11
Patient: Wendy
Dentist: Dr Fadi Yassmin
Wendy came to Dr Yassmin missing all her upper teeth which she lost when she was young and since then has not been able to eat certain foods. Wendy has had a dream to bite into a crunchy apple for as long as she can remember.
Treatment Provided
Photos and Radiographic records
Photos and radiographic records were taken to allow accurate assessment of the existing dentition (development and arrangement of teeth in her mouth) and to give Wendy a visual view of the treatment needed.
Preventative care (Dental prophylaxis)
Deep scaling and polishing to remove the buildup of heavy plaque (also known as calculus and tartar) and staining on Wendy’s teeth, helping prevent cavities, further tooth loss and gum disease.
Oral hygiene routine
Cariscreen and caries free rinse program. Custom trays of GC tooth mousse were created for home use, which will help prevent tooth decay (that can lead to cavities, pain, tooth loss and infection) and minimise intrinsic staining (white specs on teeth).
New full upper denture
A full upper denture was created to replace her existing denture. With an excellent fit, the denture is very comfortable, and Wendy now no longer gets food caught under her denture.
Lower partial denture
Due to the tight time frame a lower partial denture was made. A precision fit was achieved by using special attachments on her new crowns.
Dental crowns
Dental crowns with a zirconia base were constructed to help stabilise her lower denture.
Teeth whitening
BriteSmile whitening on Wendy’s lower anterior teeth matched perfectly with her new upper teeth. Custom trays were also made to give Wendy a
whitening maintenance program to take home to help sustain her whiter smile.
RESULTS – Now eating apples! Comfort and strength restored founding a happier whiter smile.
