COSMETIC ASSESSMENT

This is a detailed process and every enquiring patient deserves to know and see:

 See your smile the way everyeone sees it not just yourself. Images of your smile can be displayed for commentary of treatment options. 

ALL modern treatment options and alternatives should be presented. There may be some very cost effective options available for you to opt-into or out depending on individual circumstances.

Know what is involved in treatments down to the minute detail. A lot of effort goes into delivering the right advice and care so why can’t you know?

PROCESS: Multiple alternatives will be presented that suit you best. Often initial discussions canvasing alternatives will be put to the patient to consider. When further interest is shown by the patient records will be taken including photographs, impressions for modeling of the teeth, and a further analysis will be undertaken.

VENEERS
MYTH: porcelain veneers deliver better results.

Many of my patients including those that are dentists would argue that this is not always the case. Individual assessments may mean Cosmetic composite veneers offer many advantages without compromising on excellent aesthetics. Perhaps this is the reason many Dentists themselves opt for Composite veneers.

GUM LIFTS: Gum positioning outline and symmetry pose a significant role in a glamorous smile. Each case is different and your assessment will be easiest demonstrated via photographs of your smile analysed and presented to you.

ORTHODONTICS: Often this is overlooked by patient and dentist alike. When a smile is enhanced by correcting simple orthodontic problems prior to cosmetic procedures the results can be astounding and life changing.

ADULT AND ADOLESCENT ORTHODONTICS

Extensive training and experience while in Dr Maloof’s care, will deliver advantages to you by a”single clinic attendance” at the place you have come to know and trust.
