Fixing a broken smile - a denture success story
Hi neighbours, we thought we would share this sweet story with you. We recently had the pleasure of replacing an old, worn set of complete dentures for a patient in our clinic. The existing dentures had been in a poor state for some time and the brief was clear from the outset: a better fit, and where possible, an improvement in aesthetics.
A great amount of bone structure had been lost, but we were able to rectify the inadequate fit and provide the patient with something much more usable. As an added bonus we obtained a genuine improvement in aesthetics.
Using the enigma colour tone system enabled multiple layers and shades of acrylic to be built into the denture to replicate natural gum. We worked on an enhanced contour simulating how teeth naturally emerge from the tissue. The end result was a pleasing smile and a patient who, after a long time, felt comfortable smiling again!
The patient was so pleased with the results they sent us a lovely card to say “thank you for taking care of me”.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
