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”.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
