Aesthetic Dental Institute

No one teaches you this in dental school.

Learning to create content has become part of running a modern practice. Some weeks it comes easily, other weeks it doesn’t, but it’s a practice worth showing up for.

Grateful for the editing that makes it look easier than it actually is 😄

caption, I was thinking something along the lines of:

Something we’ve been quietly building for a long time is almost ready to open its doors.

A new home for The Aesthetic Dental Institute at Meyrickton Park, Hillcrest.

We won’t tell you what’s changed. We’d rather show you.

Not long now.

Somewhere along the way, you decided the dentist was something to endure. So you look after your skin, your health, your body, and quietly leave your teeth off the list.

We understand why. But the dentistry you remember and the way we work are not the same thing. Our facially driven digital smile design is an example of this.

It starts long before any treatment. We create a facially driven digital smile design weeks in advance, mapped to the shape of your face, the line of your lip, the way your teeth sit when you speak. You see the result and approve it before treatment begins. Here, you’re always in control.

By the time we start, you already know what your new smile will look like.

Your smile deserves the same care you give everything else.

Most people can describe the experience before they can describe the treatment.

The scraping sound, the cold water, the loud vibrations again. It is the part patients tell us they brace for.

With Guided Biofilm Therapy, that is not how your cleaning begins. It starts with plaque detection, warm water, air and a fine powder that lifts plaque and stubborn stains away gently, along the gumline and between the teeth where a brush cannot reach.

You feel the difference immediately. Less tension in the shoulders. No gripping the armrest. Just a clean that happens around you rather than to you. And of course you leave with the benefit of whiter, cleaner looking and feeling teeth.

We brought this technology in because of what it changes for the person in the chair. That is the only reason worth investing.

More of the requests coming through now are for a natural looking smile. One that works with the teeth someone already has, rather than covering or replacing them.

For many of those cases, the answer is Invisalign and in-office whitening.
It helps to understand how that differs from veneers.

A veneer covers the tooth. A thin layer of tooth 0.5-1mm of enamel is removed first, then ceramic veneer is cemented over it. It is permanent, and it is the additive choice where a tooth is worn, fractured, or structurally compromised.

An aligner moves the tooth you already have. Nothing is removed, and nothing is covered. It corrects position over a set number of months, and whitening refines and enhances the shade afterward.

Veneers are often the faster change. Aligners are the more conservative one, and the tooth stays entirely your own.
Which route fits depends on where you are starting from. Book a consultation, and we will talk you through it.

They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.

This work is my passion. The planning, the smiles, the cases I think about long after the practice has closed. I love every moment of it.

More than a decade in, and the part I look forward to most is the entire patient journey. Someone telling me what they have been living with, the planning together to rebuild it properly, and the smiles I see after the treatment is complete.

Most artists are handed a canvas. Mine walks through my door, sits down, and tells me about their life.

That changes how I work. A canvas stays on a wall. The person in my chair walks back out into meetings, photoshoots, and dinners with the people that know them closely, and they carry what we built together into all of it.

That is why we design your smile, together, for the life you live. Before I shape anything, I want to understand you. The way you speak, carry yourself, and the features that are already yours and should stay that way.

I know what is possible in the millimetres most people never notice. We build it in the space between.
That responsibility is the part of this work I care about most.

If your smile is something you have been quietly thinking about, an honest conversation is where the real transofrmation begins.

Last Friday we completed the second stage of this implant case, placing two Straumann implants in the lower left jaw.

This appointment presented its own clinical challenges. Due to the patient being very petite and limited mouth opening, as well as over-erupted opposing teeth, making access to the surgical site challenging.Without going into patient-specific detail, intraoperative findings required us to adapt our approach in real time. This is the nature of surgical dentistry at this level. No two cases are identical, and the ability to respond with precision and composure is what separates proposed planned outcomes with predictable and accurate ones.

Modern digital dentistry doesn’t eliminate complexity. It equips you with the tools to meet it. Both implants are placed. The foundation is set.

This case is now in its healing phase. We look forward to sharing the final result.
