Zetty’s challenge

Zetty’s challenge

Zetty emailed me asking for advice as she had a challenge. She had a missing lateral left incisor and a pegged-shaped right lateral incisor. This meant there were gaps in her smile … To top this, Zetty was studying medicine in Egypt and her family…

Haniff found our blog whilst surfing for a dentist. When he came in, he was very nervous and was embarrassed to be examined as he said he had avoided seeing a dentist for years! We sat and chatted for a bit … he told me…

Back on holiday from Dublin, Najiha gets her new smile

Back on holiday from Dublin, Najiha gets her new smile

Najiha when she came in

Najiha walked in smiling. This young lady had found the blog whilst studying Medicine in Dublin. She was going to travel back home to Malaysia for a short break and wanted to get her crown done for her blackened tooth.

We had just enough time! Najiha is scheduled to leave again on Friday next week … whew! I need a week for the crown to come back from the technician.

I asked Najiha why she didn’t just complete the crown with the dentist that did her root canal therapy. She said that her mum was worried that the shape wouldn’t be nice.

Najiha's side profile

How astute of her mum … to be able to correct the overall smile, I had to do the makeover first of course … only after I had corrected the shape of her other teeth, would the technician get the shape of the crown right.

Najiha’s mum is one smart lady!

Amy had booked in Najiha for only half an hour! I needed at least 90 minutes to complete the makeover and the crown preparation … then I had to create her temporary crown!!

Fortunately Najiha had the afternoon free … so with a little arranging of our work pace .. we started the magic!

The makeover and temporary crown

First the makeover … that took just half an hour or so.

Then we did the crown preparation and temporary crown.

Amy called the technician and made sure he was going to send the finished crowns on time!

We took the photos, printed the makeover album and said goodbye … Najiha set off back to Johor for the rest of her holidays with her famiy.

So until next week, Najiha … enjoy your new smile!
