Keeping in touch by blog!

I want to say thank you for spending a few minutes and checking out my blog. 

This is going to be a great way for me to keep you informed about what's new at Oakdale Dental.  You'll find stories about todays dentistry and how it can make your life better and healthier, and sometimes some random thoughts I hope you find interesting. 

If you are already one of our patients you've no doubt noticed we've got a fresh new look and name.  We've renamed our practice formerly Family Dental Associates to Oakdale Dental! 

For those of you who I have not had the pleasure to meet yet, glad to have here and feel free to drop by and pay us a visit at Oakdale Dental.

So, come back once in a while...I try to post regularly and have some interesting things for you to check out and maybe a story or two to tell.

When smiles really matter....

before Veneer TreatmentThis past summer a patient of mine was getting married.  And as the bride to be, it was of course important that everything go perfectly on one of the most important days of her life.  Everyone remembers their wedding day and the photographs taken that day will be cherished forever.  And so it was, that she sent her fiance Martin to see me.  Martin is a great fellow with a great smile, except for one, old composite filling, right up front and center.   We needed to correct this before the big day! 

 

 

after one Porcelain VeneerOften when porcelain veneers are made for patients we like to do them in pairs or combinations of pairs to get the colour to match.  Martins teeth are great and I didn't want to touch anything except the tooth that needed improvement.  Doing one single veneer has got to be one of the toughest esthetic challenges a dentist can face.  With the help of a custom colouring by my dental ceramist we were able to provide Martin and his bride with a smile he and his fiance loved.  A smile that will live on forever in their wedding album. 

This seamingly simple cosmetic case was one of my favorite ones, treated right here in my Oakville / Burlington dental practice.
