Here what she had to say about her experience at

Dentistry on Dundas!

 

What made you decide to undergo these procedures?

 

I was embarrassed to smile. This was primarily due to the crown on my right front tooth; it was beginning to show some of its metal near the gum line. When I smiled too big, it would show.

 

Why did you choose Dentistry on Dundas/ Dr. Lanys?

 

I have been coming to Dentistry on Dundas and seeing Dr. Lanys for over 10 years. She is always very professional, understanding and I felt confident in her work.

 

What were your procedures like?

 

The first step was to whitening my teeth. Due to genetics, my family's teeth yellow with age. I felt like they were aging me and if I didn't get the whitening done before the front teeth were crowned it would no longer be an option in the future as they would continue to darken. Next we removed the old crown and Dr. Levy skillfully contoured my gum above my right crown to match the contours of the left front tooth. It had not developed in the same way as the other tooth, possible as a result of having a crown for so many years (I was 8 when I first chipped my front right tooth). I was stressed about the procedure going in, but Dr. Levy was so friendly and so reassuring throughout the procedure; I couldn't believe how easy it was. The aftermath was surprising too. I expected to be sore for a long time, but I really had minimal pain for only about a week. The last step was to crown my two front teeth to match. To get the colour perfect, Dr. Lanys sent me to her nearby lab (5 Axis) to have the colour matched to my newly whitened natural teeth. After that I returned to the office to have them permanently placed. Dr. Lanys takes great care to get good results. I really respect and appreciate that.

 

How do you feel about your results?

 

I am very happy with my results. I no longer hesitate to smile!

Small treatment creates BIG results!

Penny underwent a few small dental treatments to achieve her new smile. This included teeth bleaching, two new anterior crowns and cosmetic bonding.

 



Why was Penny a good candidate for these procedures?

Penny was a great candidate for her transformation. She was actually an extremely apprehensive patient that was nervous about most routine dental visits. Once she understood how standard the procedures were and how relatively quick they would be completed, she became more relaxed with each visit. She realized that a drastic result could be attained with ease, thus, a great case!

How did you develop a plan for treating Penny's concerns?

In this particular case, during the initial examination, it was determined that a cleaning, some fillings and whitening were required before the front crowns were done.The first four appointments addressed the fillings and cleaning. These "easy" appointments were important to gradually help the patient relax with each session, and to create a healthy oral  environment. The whitening was done at home at  by the patient at their convienience. All it took to change the front teeth were the last two appointments.

Is there an ideal candidate for these procedures?

The ideal candidate for these procedures, or any for that matter, is a motivated individual who is committed to improving their oral care and esthetics. Everyone and every case is different. It may be few or many appoinments, however, there are always options where most issues can be addressed and improved upon. No matter how busy, the treatment can always be accomodated  to any schedule.

 

Are there any at-home steps patients should follow after procedures like these?

It is extremely important to maintain the health of any new restorations such as these crowns that were done on this patient. Home care and follow up cleanings are essential. Oral hygene instruction are reviewed and often, the patient is sent home with some special cleaning tools. Occasionally, a patient is asked to return one week later after a "large" case with many crowns, for example. This is to ensure the patient is satisfied, comfortable, and the tissues are forming to the new restorations appropriately.

Whitening/Bonding Dental Makeover! Letter from our patient

Since going through many dental procedures in my youth and needing to continue with good oral care, I couldn't be happier to have found Dr. Mark Librach. I have total trust in him. He shows the time and patience to help me fix my teeth; in a kind gentle way that works for me. I have been going to Dentistry on Dundas since 1999 and have never looked back. It took Dr. Mark Librach months to get my teeth in good shape; he slowly started to rebuild my teeth and my happiness. My teeth are at the point where they are naturally pain free and now shaped well.

Before

 

I have never been happy with the colour of my teeth; they were mostly yellow to dark yellow. Although I have always tried to take care of my teeth, I could not make them any whiter on my own. I have dreamed of natural white teeth, to me teeth are the first thing I everyone notices. For years I have look at people with a great smile and wished my teeth were that nice. Then I finally decided to see what professional dental bleaching would do to give me my dream smile.

I decided used Night White; it takes a little bit longer since you leave the bleaching trays in for at least seven to eight hours, while you are sleeping. The trays feel very comfortable, since they are custom fitted to my mouth. You only need a few drops of solution in each tray each night and in about four to five days you will start to see the difference. The tips start to whiten and slowly move up to the gum line.

I have whitened about 4 shades and I am so happy with my new white teeth. It really is the focal point of a great smile! After achieving the results of my teeth whitening, it was time to address the gap in my front teeth. Dr. Librach closed this space perfectly with bonding and matched the whiter colour of my teeth.

After

I've had great experiences with Dr. Librach and the Dentistry on Dundas staff. When you walk in the front door you are greeted by an amazing front desk staff, they makes you feel special. Everyone there has a friendly outgoing personality and provide a professional experience. Dentistry on Dundas plays a huge roll in my daily life, since they have taught me how to care for my teeth and have guided me through many dental treatments to achieve my final goal. Dr. Librach is a great Dentist; his skills in dentistry are first rate in my opinion. I can say I made the right decision in 1999 and found my dental office for life.

Not everyone enjoys going to the Dentist, but you do need to maintain good oral health for a lifetime and Dentistry on Dundas sure make it the best it can be!
