Aesthetic Dentistry Awards 2018

 

Well it’s that time of year again, we were eagerly waiting on an email from the organisers of the Aesthetic Dentistry Awards on whether or not we would be finalists in the categories we had entered.

We sent in all our entries last December, the criteria was of high standard and our results were pretty hard to pick from. We had some great results in 2017 but we had to pick the most outstanding patients with the most dramatic results.

There are 21 award categories in total, we are finalists in the following:

Orthodontics – Adult fixed

Orthodontics – Child/Teenager fixed

Orthodontics – Invisalign

Interdisciplinary Team

Best Aesthetic Practice

Patient Choice Award

For all the categories we submitted patient photos before/after treatment, patient notes, treatment plans, procedures, practice photos, team photos and testimonials from our patients. We have had a lot of hard working patients that attend the practice and they have achieved amazing results the photographs speak for themselves. We really enjoyed putting these entries together because we could reflect on the great work we achieved in 2017. All of the patients we made happier and more confident in their new smiles.

The Aesthetic Dentistry Awards is a fantastic ceremony recognising excellence in Dentistry. It is a great night to celebrate all the hard work and great results we had that year.  Seven of the Swords Ortho team are all setting out to London on the 23rd of March. We are obviously delighted to be finalists but it would be amazing to bring home an award. We will keep you updated on the nights events. Wish us luck, we are hoping 2018 is our year.

After a busy day of orthodontic treatments, I was in the practice one evening doing some treatment planning for the patients that would be coming in later that week and the phone rang with Prof Stassen’s name on the screen.

As he does the jaw surgery and other special procedures for my patients that need them, I’d always take the call when I get it because it usually means something needs to be discussed in detail and I’ll have to make special appointments and the quicker I know what I have to do the quicker I can help my patients. In this case it was “remember ...

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 2...Our Experience at Swords Ortho

I have blogged about mouth cancer before. We had mouth cancer screening days in the practice, there was a national mouth cancer awareness day.

It’s not one of the more famous ones, there isn’t a national campaign where we wear a ribbon or a flower or have a coffee morning at work for it, but it’s certainly there in the background messing around with people’s lives. Before I was an orthodontist I used to work at the junior levels of various oral surgery departments around Northern Ireland and England and saw many patients receive treatment for it. Those patients were referred to us from one source ...

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 1...Examinations

It’s a given fact among orthodontists that every child should have an orthodontic examination by the age of 7. This is to look for healthy development of teeth, their positions in the developing mouth and the way they relate to each other. Some problems might be obvious  but some are lurking unseen by parents - and the kids themselves - and require someone with an appropriate mix of experience and knowledge to detect or investigate.

Why bother so young?

The idea is that if you detect certain problems there are simple interventions (we’d call that interceptive orthodontic treatment) that might avoid a more serious problem developing, one ...
