Having seen thousands
of patients with different
needs and aspirations
for their smile and
having witnessed
over the past decade
or so an explosion in
advanced technological
applications to dentistry,
I can now say that we
are truly blessed to be
living in this era and I am
sure what is to come is
even more exciting and
possibly mind blowing.
I wrote this article with
one objective in mind,
how to summarise all the
new treatment options
and how they apply to
different people as cost
effective as possible, all
in the name of Chasing
The Perfect Smile.
• Let’s start with children, these days
we have fillings and sealants that can be
applied in a couple of minutes and they
release fluoride constantly to the tooth
structure even years after placing them
therefore even the most high risk kids can
these days have healthy teeth and reduce
the possibility of decay.
At this age group it is also important to
correct jaw growth problems using few
simple appliances as it is much easier to be
corrected now than left to get worse which
will require years of orthodontic treatments
or even worse orthognathic surgery.
• While the teenhood carry many
challenges to the teenagers and parents,
this period of life is one of the most
important periods for the oral and dental
health, as if your child have bad or crooked
teeth and not have them corrected early
they will be condemned to a life time of
dental breakdown and non stop visits to
the dentist to fix those problems not to
mention the associated costs.
These days we have braces that are
costume made, computer designed, robot
milled and specifically generated for every
single tooth for that particular patient,
this makes orthodontic treatments much
quicker, achieving better results and way
more comfortable that the old style braces.
But we also have invisalign teen and other
invisible orthodontic options which are
great alternatives for those who still don’t
want to have braces on their teeth
• Adulthood is the time to maintain good
and healthy teeth and gums. Research
shows that a well balanced, white and
healthy smile means high self confidence,
better careers and happier relationships.
And research also show that gum disease
is a major contributor to poor general
health, diseases in major organs and heart
problems !
A visible missing tooth could be deva-
stating, it is noticed that once people lose a
tooth or break a tooth they get discouraged
from looking after the rest of their teeth
which can start a chain reaction! These
days there are many many options to
achieve that beautiful smile and restore the
self confidence and life satisfaction, here
are few of those options:
1. Dental implants: They are great options
to replace 1 or
multiple missing
teeth. These days
they are a lot cheaper
than they were and
can be placed very
easily (usually within
15 minutes) and
very comfortably.
(Price $2000-$5000
depending on the
type)
2. Porcelain Bridges: An alternative
for people who are not suitable for implants,
this will not only replace the missing tooth,
but it will protect the adjacent teeth and
improve the shape and colour, all within 2-3
weeks
3. All teeth on 4 implants: this is a revolu-
tionary technique were we replace all the
teeth (completely) with just 4 implants per
arch and you can get the final permanent
teeth within 2-3 days. (Price $9000 - $29,000
per jaw)
4. Invisalign: the completely invisible way
to straight teeth (in case you didn’t have a
chance to do it while teenager !)
(Price $3000-8000)
5. Computer designed and Robot milled
Braces: for those difficult cases who are not
suitable for invisalign and want fast results.
(Price $2500 - $8000)
6. Lingual Braces: braces placed behind
the teeth, yet another option to achieve
beautiful and straight teeth. (It is a bit more
expensive than conventional braces)
7. Porcelain Veneers: this was only
affordable for the rich and TV personalities,
but these days they are very affordable to
everyone and it seems to be the thing that
most adults ask for and truly appreciate
as it gives an instant transformation
and permanent perfect straight white
smile,a huge boost to personal and work
relationships. This is suitable for people
who have stained or discoloured teeth,
crooked teeth, broken or uneven teeth, teeth
with multiple fillings or anyone who want a
nicer smile. Veneers are thin shells that are
bonded permanently to the outside surface
of teeth to give us that amazing smile.
(price $800-1400 per veneer)
8. Snap on smiles: this is an alternative
to dentures, implants and veneers, it is of
very low cost , It is a removable option that
literally change your whole look by just
snapping it in place. It is suitable for people
who have stained or discoloured teeth,
missing teeth, crooked teeth, broken or
uneven teeth, teeth with multiple fillings
or anyone who wants a nicer smile. (Price
$2300 per arch)
9. Sapphire and Zoom laser whitening
the dentist is the only person who can
apply 37% hydrogen peroxide with Laser
activation to achieve those whiter teeth
everyone wants. Even though some beauty
salons offer whitening it is not of the same
efficacy and safety. We cover all the gums,
isolate the teeth and safely finish the
procedure without any harm to gums and
teeth, something you are not guaranteed in
beauty salons
We hope you find the
information in this article
helpful and regardless if you are
young or old shiny clean teeth
will entice you to smile and be
smiled at.

Having seen thousands

I can now say th t we
are truly blessed to be
living in this era and I am
sure what is to come is
even more exciting and
possibly mind blowing.
I wrot thi article with
one objectiv in mind,
how o summarise all the
new treatment pt ons
nd how they apply o
different people as cost
effective a possible, all
in the na e of Chasing
The Perfect Smile.
• Let’s start with children, these days
we have fillings and sealants that can be
applied in a couple of minutes and they
release fluoride constantly to the tooth
structure even years after placing them
therefore even the most high risk kids can
th e d ys have healthy teeth and reduce
the possibil ty of decay.
At this age group i is also import t to
corr ct jaw growth problems using f w
simple appliances as it is much easier to be
correct d now than left to get worse which
will requir y ars of orthodontic treatments
or even worse orthognat ic surgery.
• While the teenhood carry many
challenges t the teenager and p rents,
this period of life i one of the most
important p riods for the ral and dental
health, as if your child have bad or crooked
teeth and not have them corrected early
they will be c nd mned to a lif time f
dental breakdown a d non stop visits to
the dentis to fix th s proble s not to
mentio the associated costs.
These days we h ve br ces that are
costume mad , omputer designed, robot
milled and specifically generated for ev ry

this makes orthod ntic treat e ts much
qu cker, achieving better results and way

healthy smile means high self confidence,
better careers nd happi r relationships.
And esearch also show that gum disease
is a major contributor to poor general
health, diseases in ajor organs nd heart
problems !
A visible missing tooth could be deva-
stating, it is noticed that once people lose a
tooth or b eak a tooth they get discouraged
fro looking after the rest of their teeth
which can start a chain reaction! These
days there are many many options to
achiev that beautiful smile and restore the
self confidence and life satisfaction, here
are few of th se options:
1. Dental implants: Th y are great options
to replace 1 or
multiple missing
teeth. These days
they are a lot cheaper
than they were and
can be placed very
easily (usually within
15 minutes) and
very comfortably.
(Price $2000-$5000
depending on th
type)
2. Porcelain Bridges: An alternative
for people who are not suitable for implants,
this will not only r place the missing tooth,
but it will protect he djacent teeth and
improve the shape and colour, all within 2-3
weeks
3. All te th on 4 implants: this is a revolu-
tionary technique were we replace all the
teeth (completely) with just 4 implants per
arch and you can get the final permanent
teeth within 2-3 days. (Price $9000 - $29,000
per jaw)
4. Invisalign: the completely invisible way
to straight teeth (in case you didn’t have a
chance to do it while teenager !)
(Price $3000-8000)
5. Computer designed and Robot milled
Braces: for those difficult cases who are not
suitable for invisalign and want fast result .
(Price $2500 - $8000)
6. Lingual Braces: braces placed behind
the teeth, yet another option to achieve
beautiful and straight teeth. (It is a bit more
expensive than conventional braces)
7. Porcelain Veneers: this was only
affordable for the rich and TV pe sonalities,
but these days they are very affordable to
everyo e and it seems to be the thing that
most adults ask for and truly appreciate
as it gives an instant transformation
and permanent perfect straight white
smile,a huge boost to personal and work
relationships. This is suitable for people
who have stained or discoloured teeth,
crooked teeth, broken or uneven teeth, teeth
with multiple filli gs or anyone who want a
nicer smile. Veneers are thin shells that are
bonded perman ntly to the outside surface
of teeth to give us that amazing smile.
(price $800-1400 per veneer)
8. Snap on smiles: this is an alternative
to dentures, implants and veneers, it is of
v ry l w cost , It is a removable option that
literally change your whole look by just
snapping it in place. It is suitable for people
ho have stained or discoloured teeth,
missing te th, crooked teeth, broken or
un ven teeth, teeth with multiple fillings
or a yone who wants a nic r smile. (Price
$2300 per arch)
9. Sapphire and Zoom laser whitening
the dentist is the nly person wh can
apply 37% hydrogen peroxide with Laser
activation to achieve those whiter teeth
everyon wants. Even though some beauty
salons offer whitening it is not of the same
efficacy and safety. We cover all the gums,
isolate the teeth and safely finish the
rocedure without any harm to gums and
teeth, something you are not guaranteed in
beauty sal ns
