Our newest team member Dr Simon Chard has recently returned from a 3-day meeting in London with some of the leading lights in cosmetic dentistry at the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) conference 2013. The conference, in its 10th year, is an opportunity for people from around the world to come and present the most modern techniques in improving patients smiles.
The key trend this year was minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry, something the team at The Courtyard Clinic is very passionate about!
Minimally invasive dentistry is the philosophy that when improving a patient’s smiles we remove as little of the patient’s natural tooth as possible- thus improving the prognosis of the patient’s natural teeth. Traditional cosmetic dentistry developed a less than ideal reputation in the dental world for being overly destructive of natural teeth. The new wave of modern and ethical cosmetic dentists, such as the dentists at The Courtyard Clinic, employ the latest materials, techniques and technology to be as minimal as possible.
This includes the use of:
- Adult orthodontics (braces)
- Tooth whitening
- CEREC technology
- Modern Ceramic materials
- Modern aesthetic white filling materials
- Implants
At this latest conference Dr Simon, who sits on a number of committees for the BACD, enjoyed discussions on a number of these latest advances in the field and this week has brought them back to review their implementation with the team at The Courtyard Clinic.
Please contact Alison on 01932 582949 or at reception@thecourtyardclinic.com if you would like to improve your smile in a modern and minimally invasive manner.
