FOR TIPS ON YOUR PROFILE, REFER TO OTHER APP PROFILES
The Video below explains how to add and amend content to your services.
If you have some good videos suitable for a patient, not DCPs, please add them to your profile; that way, everyone's content will improve. I made these some time ago. I will make some animations in the future.
There are few good two-minute videos explaining procedures for patients. If you have some good video examples, please DM me, and I'll update the content below for everyone's benefit.
For dentists, I preloaded about twenty services. To see them on the teeth4life App, in My Dentist, type Bristol, scroll to teeth4life and look at Boris services. He no longer works at the practice. 🥲
Just delete the services that are not applicable, or better, add your own. Any video link can be downloaded from YouTube.

ROOT FILLING
Sometimes if the tooth becomes infected, the options are either extraction or a root filling.
These procedures take a little longer with a variable success rate, but with modern technology and ever improving materials, outcomes are continually improving. See the video on root fillings in dental therapy for more information.

TOOTH WHITENING
Tooth whitening has been safely carried out for many years using a simple bleaching tray method either overnight. It works for any age. If you have existing fillings or crowns, they may need replacing as their colour does not change. This is an example of someone over 40. After 20 years a crown appeared lighter than their natural teeth, rather than replace the crown with a darker one. It's less expensive and lightens the teeth to how they looked 20 years ago.

SINGLE VISIT CROWNS
We are now able to make large restorations by taking a picture, and milling the material while you wait, then glueing the restoration in place all on the same visit, with a single injection if required.

ADHESIVE BRIDGES
This current bridge example initially has two metal "wings". One "wing' was removed 30 years ago. Since then it has remained in place. Most adhesive bridges are now generally made in this manner, as we have learnt by our experience. The advantage is they retain most of the supporting natural tooth. No anaesthetic is required, and they are a relatively inexpensive option compared to an implant, and easier to maintain healthy gum compared to a denture at a similar cost.

ADULT ORTHODONTICS
You are never too old to have your teeth straightened. Using new technology such as the iTero and Invisalign systems used here, your teeth can be aligned, making them easier to clean and therefore your teeth and gums more healthy. And of course, your smile is also improved.

FLEXIBLE DENTURES
Dentures can often be made when multiple teeth are missing, which may be a less costly and more appropriate alternative to dental implants. Newer materials are always becoming available. This is one example.

WHITE FILLINGS
Modern filling materials are not only tooth coloured to blend better with your natural tooth, they are also glued to the tooth to provide an extra layer of protection. Through years of practice and study, I can place fillings that mimic the natural tooth's shape and are almost undetectable compared to other, more basic white fillings. The procedure is painless due to potent modern anaesthetics and is usually completed within 30-45 minutes.

CROWNS
Sometimes a tooth is badly broken down or painful because of a fracture. Crowns can reinforce the remaining tooth and, using modern materials, vastly improve the aesthetics and function. Photos show the preparation and fit of a crown made in a dental lab which requires the taking of a mould, a temporary crown, and a second visit to have the stronger aesthetic crown fitted.

VENEERS
A veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth, veneers improve the aesthetics of a smile and/or protect the tooth's surface from damage. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental lab, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated
