Roshan gets a makeover in time for his wedding

Roshan gets a makeover in time for his wedding

Roshan’s mum, Jyothi, had a makeover some years back. She had been trying to persuade her very busy son to have his smile ‘magicked’ ever since, but Roshan was just too busy! Yesterday, Roshan was about to register his marriage … now was the perfect…

A day for mothers and their daughters

A day for mothers and their daughters

Yesterday seemed like a day for mothers and their daughters to visit the clinic for various reasons. It started with Norrabaitul Adawiah who needed emergency surgery to remove an impacted (that’s stuck and not coming out properly) wisdom tooth. She is a nurse with a…

Norhayati smiles for Idil Fitri

Norhayati smiles for Idil Fitri

Norhayati smile could do with some tweaking

Norhayati was referred to us by my friend and amazing lawyer, Shila Kassim. Norhayati works with a local telecommunications company and sees many clients on a daily basis.

She came in today with a big smile. Norhayati had checked out this blog and was keen to see if I could help her.

She had a crown which was done some years ago … it was a different colour from her natural teeth and had begun to drift, causing gaps to appear … oh dear!

I told her that I had to base her makeover on the crown as I couldn’t change the shape of a porcelaine crown too much, though I could trim it a bit … nonetheless, I assured her she would be delighted with the final smile!

Norhayati's 'Raya' smile

Norhayati sat back and relaxed whilst I revved up the magic wand.

Every now and again I’d check with her … was she in pain? Was there any discomfort? Nope, she shook her head and assured me she was totally comfortable.

In an hour … yes, it only took an hour … I passed her the mirror to have her first look!

She was delighted!

She said, “I wish I had known about you earlier! My husband is going to be so surprised!”

Yes, it is amazing isn’t it! The best part is, it really isn’t as difficult as most people think … it only took an hour and Norhayati didn’t need any injections to get her brand new Raya smile.

Selamat Hari Raya everyone!

The Mekong Delta: Day 3 Saigon

The Mekong Delta: Day 3 Saigon

It was a long trip to the Mekong Delta. We drove out in the (thankfully) air conditioned bus through the busy Saigon roads early in the morning. There were motorcycles everywhere with their riders wearing all sorts of helmets … even baseball caps with straps…
