Diagnostic Mock up, what is it?
Mock up is a diagnostic procedure, useful to Esthetic Dentistry and Prosthodontics.
Imagine mock up like a smile simulation, happening directly over your teeth, something like a "test smile".
It changes temporarilly the shape and colour of your teeth in order to check the changes you and your dentist wish to make on your smile. It is used in the first steps of a Smile Design procedure.
Sometimes you may be happy with the result, some others you may not. In any case, with the mock up procedure you will be able to locate what troubles you and ask your dentist to change it. The procedure can be repeated as many times as nesecary, until the desired outcome is reached.
In case the changes do not satisfy your needs, then you may decide to change the treatment plan completely, choose for example orthodontic treatment instead of a cosmetic treatment or even decide that your original smile is better and you want to keep it.

Internal whitening for teeth
Have you ever noticed while smiling, that one of your front teeth is darker that the rest of them?
Have you wondered why it happened and if there is a way to fix this?
Although there may be a lot of different reasons for teeth to be darker than the rest, the most common problem when the discoloration is located in only one tooth is due to internal discolouration and pulp problems.
Discoloration usually happens after a trauma or root canal treatment and is the result of the degradation of the blood products inside the pulp chamber. Enamel is affected by the degradation products and it changes its colour to brown, orange or dark gray.
The problem may be noticed in both anterior or posterior teeth but the truth is our patients rarely care unless the tooth is located at the front of their mouth.

Diastema - Gap between teeth
Gap between front teeth or diastema as called, is a controversial issue in smile esthetics.
A lot of people consider it as part of their style and they wouldn't change it for anything. Lately, we see a lot of fashion editorials with models showing their teeth diastemas.
The truth is that beautiful people styled nicely with good lighting and beautiful clothes, can make even the biggest diastemas look good.
Since most of us though are not as good looking, nor styled as nicely as the models, we tend to focus on small imperfections that bother us and we often look for an esthetic solution.
Teeth diastemas is one of the most common reasons that brings patients in our clinic, proving that people often think of them as a problem and wish to have them closed.
