There are many dental patients that know the end result of what they want their dentist to achieve for their teeth but they are unsure of the path toward a stunning smile. Dr. Phelan is a dentist in Oakville who has a, "smile makeover" formula that guarantees the success of his cosmetic dentistry procedures. This formula includes art, communication and technology. He works closely with the patient and the dental ceramist to combine visions, specialties and technology in the clinic, to provide clients with the smile that they have always wanted.
The Art of the Smile
A dentist is more than a doctor; he or she has to know art and aesthetics, making recommendations for the patient that matches their smile with the contours of the patient"s face, the teeth"s present condition and the look that the patient wants to achieve as the final, completed result.
The art of the smile involves extensive knowledge and artistic skills. These two areas are referred to as macro-aesthetics and micro-aesthetics. Macro-aesthetics is the overall tooth position within a smile and how teeth relate to the surrounding gums, lips, and face. It involves all how all teeth work together to create a certain desired style or look. The area of micro-aesthetics includes the individual characterizations of the teeth. (For example, the amount and design of translucency, at the end of a patient"s tooth) The dentist treats every patient as an individual and designs smiles to complement these factors for each and every patient.
Technology for Stunning Smiles
Dentists in Oakville"s Phelan Dental Clinic use the latest proven dental technologies to provide accurate, lasting and pain-free procedures. Some of these advanced technologies include:
"The Simplant software platform precisely plans out dental implant treatment using a CT scan of the patient. This treatment plan can be combined with a Surgiguide to complete minimally invasive implant surgery.
"Digital radiography decreases exposure needed to create a quality, diagnostic image.
"A Sirona digital panoramic machine takes a very low dosage image of the entire jaw.
"The dentists use a Waterlase MD dental laser to treat many small cavities in children"s teeth, pain-free without requiring a shot or freezing.
" IMacs are in each room of the office to create an up to date patient experience.
"Advanced Imaging.
"2 iPads for patient education and consultations.
These technologies have changed the way that patients view visiting the dentist, offering a relaxed atmosphere, safety and the best possible results.
Constant Communication
By communicating with the patient at every stage of planning, the procedure day and aftercare, in combination with a close relationship with the dental ceramist and technicians, the best possible result is achieved. Communications include the detailed Smile Makeover form, which has been adapted by other clinics in North America and hi-resolution digital photographs using a Nikon D3 or D3s Professional Digital Camera of the patient"s previous crowns, surrounding dentition, and new temporary crowns. The dentists also provide detailed instructions to the ceramist to express the patient"s goals and desires for their restorations.
