Faces, smiles and teeth.
Faces, smiles and teeth, a message that has been reinforced recently with 2 lectures that I attended recently.
In fact I have seen both of them speak before and they have spoken about the holistic approach to dentistry, whereby diagnosis and planning begins not with the mouth, but with the face.
Proffessor Piet Haers, a maxillo-facial surgeon with an interest in orthognathic surgery (surgery where the bones of the face are moved and aligned to create a more harmonious appearance and improve function) discussed his concept where he creates a face, and in the face a smile, and in that smile the ability to bite and chew. He starts his journey on the bones of the patients, and working with his patients to move bones and then alter the muscular relationships to leave his patients in Neuromuscular balance.
Christian Coachman, founded of Digital Smile Design, a concept which allows dentists and their teams to design smiles around the whole face, communicate these plans to the patients, perform the treatment with the whole team having a common goal, and then review their performance on delivering the treatment plan in order to improve. All using modern digital dentistry.
These 2 recent talks have reinforced our philosophy at Ten Dental:
We design patients smiles to work in harmony with their faces.
We use natural tooth shapes and designs to work in harmony with your face.
We are an interdisciplinary specialist team that works together to deliver the best result possible.
We allow you to see a treatment simulation as to what your teeth may look like before we start treatment.
We invest in the latest technology to deliver the best treatment we can.
We deliver healthy confident smiles and faces.
We also still carry out routine Check-ups and hygiene visits, but we can now offer much, much more…
It was a pleasure to take some of our team to the Digital Smile Design day and for them to see the founder of DSD speak and explain his philosophy.
With this in mid it seems like the best time ever to change our name to reflect what we have become
