25.01.2022 MIND THE GAP! Missing and gapped teeth can often make people feel self conscious about their smile, but there are a multitude of options when it comes to correcting them: from dentures, to bridges and implants, and using materials such as composite, porcelain or acrylic. This case was done with single session in chair direct composite veneers, and an acrylic removable denture which took one week to make in conjunction with our local lab. #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #smile #smilemakeover #oralhealth #denture #acrylicdenture #removabledenture #compositeresin #compositeveneers #directveneers #directcompositeveneers #beforeandafter #drtessalamela #shentonparkfamilydental

25.01.2022 OVERBITE AND OVERJET CORRECTION WITH INVISALIGN This patient did not like the way her front teeth kicked forward giving a space between her upper and lower teeth she could fit a finger in! We used Invisalign removable clear orthodontic aligners to correct this, while at the same time widening the smile and aligning the teeth. This whole course of treatment took just under 2 years to achieve. If you have always wanted straight teeth but want to consider alternatives to metal b...races context us for a consultation! We can also arrange appointments with specialists if that is what is required. @invisalign_au #dentist #perthdentist #smile #beautifulsmile #smilemakeover #dentalmakeover #beforeandafter #invisalign #invisalignbeforeandafter #invisalignjourney #clearaligners #removableorthodontics #cosmeticdentistry #drtessalamela @ Shenton Park Family Dental See more

25.01.2022 I MY TEAM! Last Thursday night we went out to our local Italian restaurant @galileobuonacucina to celebrate our 7th birthday from the opening of @shentonpark_familydental It was a fun and delicious evening! I just want to say a heartfelt thankyou to everyone who has made this a possibility, to all the staff and wonderful patients who support us as we try our hardest to deliver gentle and quality dental care. We look forward to continuing to grow over the coming years too! xx Dr Tessa #thankyou #team #teamwork #ilovemyteam #celebration #anniversary #dinner #italianfood #galileobuonacucina #shentonpark #shoplocal #localbusiness #supportlocal #delicious #greatnightout #thanksagain #shentonparkfamilydental

24.01.2022 INVISALIGN REMOVABLE AND CLEAR ALIGNER TREATMENT We had a deadline! A wedding that this already beautiful young lady needed a smile to match. So we corrected the upper front teeth within the first 8 months, then for a total treatment time of 20 months reduced the overbite and overjet and closing up spaces. We used a technique called Sequential Mesialisation, which means no elastics need to be worn! (And no extractions). What a transformation! If you want to see if clear aligners are an option for you, book in today for a consultation. @invisalign_au #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #orthodontics #invisalign #invisalignbeforeandafter #invisibleorthodontics #clearaligners #removableorthodontics #classtwotreatment #sequentialmesialisation #beforeandafter #smile #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela

22.01.2022 TEETH WHITENING! Wow, what a before and after! And why did we do the whitening? Because this patient was congenitally missing her upper second teeth, called lateral incisors - they just never grew! (Which is more common than you may think) So following orthodontic treatment to move the canine teeth into a more foreword position and close any spacing, we used a direct composite veneer to give them more of the appearance of lateral incisors. However, whenever we are restoring ...front teeth it is recommended to whiten them prior to treatment. So that is how we went from that to this! @pola_smile #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #smile #smilemakeover #beforeandafter #whitening #toothwhitening #teethwhitening #polasmile #polawhitening #directcompositeveneers #compositeresin #compositeveneers #directveneers #happypatient #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela @ Shenton Park Family Dental See more

22.01.2022 THROWBACK THURSDAY! BLACK TRIANGLE CLOSURE We did Invisalign clear removable orthodontic aligners to get the teeth straight, but sometimes you just can't get the gums back (well in this case they were never there) - so instead direct composite restorations were placed in a single dental appointment with no cutting of the teeth. This was the last piece of the patients' puzzle to really get her smiling! And they are still going strong today. #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #throwbackthursday #throwback #smilemakeover #beforeandafter #smile #cosmeticdentist #cosmeticdentistry #compositeresin #compositeveneers #directveneers #directcompositeveneers #blacktriangles

21.01.2022 CHIPPED TEETH RESTORATION After many years of gradual chipping it was time to do something! We used composite resin as the restorative material in this case, and treatment was provided in a single dental appointment. To make sure no new or further tooth damage arose, a night guard splint was provided and at 4 years on, the treatment is still lasting very well! We loved helping this patient get her smile back! #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #cosmeticdentist #cosmeticdentistry #smile #smilemakeover #beforeandafter #results #compositeresin #compositefilling #whitefilling #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela @ Shenton Park Family Dental

20.01.2022 CHRISTMAS STAFF PARTY Oh what fun it is to hang with a most amazing team... Hey! It has been a great lead up to Christmas with our staff dinner at @kiri_japanese - big thanks to Taka and Noriko for tailoring a menu that everyone loved! Dr Tessa and Navila also enjoyed an evening with both orthodontists and dentists at the @theorthodontists_boc_soc Christmas party - thanks for the invite! #staffparty #christmasparty #christmas2019 #amazingteam #besteam #teammates #merrychristmas

20.01.2022 ANTERIOR RESTORATION (FILLING) REPLACEMENT it is obvious to see why this patient was so chuffed with her new front teeth! From stained and chipped to something to smile about! The treatment involved a single appointment to remove the old fillings and restore the teeth with new white composite filling material. This was done 6 months ago but still going strong! #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #smilemakeover #beforeandafter #cosmeticdentistry #cosmeticdentist #smile #oralhealth #whitefillings #compositeresin #compositefilling #drkevinyeow #shentonparkfamilydental

20.01.2022 COLOUR CORRECTION WITH PORCELAIN CROWNS Sometimes as a result of trauma teeth can change colour, usually going anywhere from a dark yellow, to a brown or even a grey or black! These teeth can be tricky to respond well to external whitening, and if they haven't had root canal therapy are not suited for internal whitening. In these cases the best result will often be achieved with a dental veneer or crown, made from porcelain. The teeth often require some trimming to achieve this. However, final results can help give the patient a smile they are more confident to show off! #dentist #perthdentist #cosmeticdentistry #beforeandafter #dentalcrowns #porcelaincrowns #ceramiccrowns #smile #trauma #drtessalamela #shentonparkfamilydental

20.01.2022 SOMETIMES ITS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SMILE This is a throwback to a simple direct composite resin pontic (fixed fake tooth) that was done on an older woman to increase her confidence smiling. It is common with aging to have teeth drift, and so even though she had the right number of teeth - it looked like one was missing. In one appointment, without any anaesthetic or cutting beyond the enamel of the teeth on either aide, we built her up a tooth, by hand, using a mat...ching composite resin shade. Even with limitations of space and shape available, she was wrapped - and so are we to see a patient happy! A fantastic result for a simple, pain free and cost effective solution. #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #smile #beforeandafter #results #cosmeticdentistry #smilemakeover #faketooth #compositeresin #compositresinpontic #resinpontic #compositepontic #directpontic #drtessalamela #shentonparkfamilydental @ Shenton Park Family Dental See more

20.01.2022 FIRST DENTAL VISIT! This darling little boy, Z, is the son of one of our old dental assistants, Shamshad (Sam), who has gone on to do consulting work for Practice Based Solutions. He has just turned 2, which is a good time to start making trips to the dentist! Z preferred to watch his mum lie in the dental chair, while he sat of Dr Tessa's lap and after a bit of introduction to everything had his first examination! (And let us tell you, Dr Tessa was very happy to receive the cuddles!) #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #smile #paediatricdentistry #childrensdentistry #firstdentalvisit #checkup #oralhealth #healthymouth #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela #CUDDLES

18.01.2022 PEG LATERAL RESTORATION We have posted similar cases before but this one is interesting because four years ago we placed direct composite restorations on the upper lateral incisors (second teeth) just to improve the appearance while the patient completed orthodontic treatment. Once he had finished his braces the laterals no longer looked 'right' and they had spaces either side! So we removed the old veneers, placed new ones and then the patient went straight back to the ortho...dontist for a correct fitting retainer to be made. A very worthwhile result, and we always enjoy doing multidisciplinary cases. @class1ortho #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #beforeandafter #smilemakeover #orthodontics #peglaterals #composite #directveneers #compositeveneers #directcompositeveneers #directresorations #directcompositerestoration #compositerestoration #buildups #smile #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela

18.01.2022 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Who can't help but smile when there are so many sweet treats to eat! But remember: make sure you still brush those tooth pegs to keep them pearly white! Too much sugar and poor hygiene leads to decay which in turn causes monster breath.... And any other day of the year that's just not ok! #happyhalloween #halloween #dontforgettobrush #shentonparkfamilydental

17.01.2022 NOTICE: Please hold on to your recycling as we are unable to collect it at the moment and the box is no longer at the front door - Thank you

17.01.2022 GETTING OUR GEEK ON! Continuing professional development is an important aspect of being an oral health care provider. Drs. Kevin and Tessa with their OHT, Navila, attended the 'Hot Topics in Oral Medicine' lecture this evening to make sure they are staying up to date with developments in that area of clinical care. Excellent speakers! Followed by dinner afterwards at The Merrywell, it made for a nice evening out! #cpd #professionaldevelopment #dentist #perthdentist #oralhealththerapist #team

16.01.2022 ACCIDENTS HAPPEN But fortunately for this young man, his teeth were able to be repaired on the same day, using direct placement of composite resin material. Great looking results to hopefully make him feel better while the swelling in his upper lip goes down! We will always endeavour to see emergency cases on the same day to relieve pain or fix smiles. #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #trauma #dentaltrauma #brokentooth #brokenteeth #accidentshappen #emergencydentalcare #beforeandafter #dentalrestoration #filling #dentalcomposite #compositeresin #resinfilling #whitefilling #ouch #shentonparkfamilydental #drannabelleshalders

15.01.2022 WEDDING READY! This sweet young lady first came to us a few years ago seeking some options for her upper front teeth to improve the appearance. After going over some options she decided to leave it but came to see us a few months ago ready to start work - with a deadline of this weekend for her wedding! A challenging case, as over the last few years one front tooth had darkered significantly from when we first met her, however by making some changes at a try-in appointment we... managed to get things looking not only balanced but as beautiful as the rest of her! We used indirect porcelain e.max veneers and crowns for this treatment, thanks to the help of Ceramiart Dental Studio ceramist. We wish her the best for this weekend on her wedding day and happiness for all her years to come. #dentist #perthdentist #smile #beforeandafter #smilemakeover #veneers #porcelainveneers #dentalcrowns #porcelaincrowns #emax #weddingprep #weddingready #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela

15.01.2022 ANZAC Day 2020. Lest we forget.

15.01.2022 FAMILIES THAT VISIT THE DENTIST TOGETHER, HAVE HEALTHY SMILES TOGETHER! As a family dental clinic, we love treating patients of all ages - from young to old and all in between! We recommend children have their first check up at about 18 months to 2 years old. Coming in with a parent is a great introduction, as many kids will gain confidence in the dental chair themselves after seeing what happens to someone they trust. ...as you can see here they may even want to get in on the action themselves! #hechosethoseglassestowear #dentist #perthdentist #familydentist #healthysmiles #smile #smiles #paediatricdentistry #dentalcare #shentonparkfamilydental #checkandclean #scaleandclean #dentalcheckup #oralhealth #preventionisbetterthancure @ Shenton Park Family Dental

14.01.2022 BROKEN TEETH! Not many people are comfortable walking around with half a front tooth missing, but restoring it back to looking completely normal can be a touch job - but we think we achieved that here! Not only is colour matching important, but so is having a seamless join line to the natural tooth - no matter what filter you are using! We also made sure the new part was flush to the gums so polished it very smooth there, but gums bounce back in a couple of days following this treatment. This build up of the tooth was done in a single sitting using direct placement @3m Filtex Supreme composite resin. The patient was very happy to smile about it afterwards! #dentist #dentistry #dental #perthdentist #beforeandafter #smile #brokentooth #compositeresin #dentalcomposite @ Shenton Park Family Dental

14.01.2022 BLACK TRIANGLE CLOSURE Even with all the commitment to periodontal health and rejuvenation techniques including gum grafting, this delightful lady still had black triangles present near the gums in her upper front teeth. These can age a person, as well as lead to people asking 'is there something stuck in your teeth?' So: we did a very simple technique of using composite resin to fill in those spaces! With no numbing, no cutting of the tooth, and no post operative care; you walk in one way and walk out the other! Now she feels she can smile #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #dentalcomposite #compositeresin #compositeveneers #blacktriangles #blacktriangleclosure #gumhealth #gumrecession #gingivalrecession #smile #beforeandafter #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela

13.01.2022 LIP FILLERS We do lips a little differently: it's not about giving someone a trout pout, it is about improving the contoured and outlines, plus adding a little volume to subtly enhance what the patient already has. Lips should still look natural and soft! In this case filler was added in the upper and lower lips, as well as the philtrum to enhance the cupid's bow. These after photos are taken two weeks after treatment was completed. #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #cosmeticdentist #cosmeticdentistry #lipfiller #injectables #beforeandafter #lipsbeforeandafter #lipsbeauty #smile #enhancedlips #princesslipfiller #shentonparkfamilydental @ Shenton Park Family Dental

13.01.2022 LIP FILLERS It can be a nerve wracking time for patients who are unhappy with their appearance but want to have a natural result - but we think we nailed this one! From very thin lips to a gorgeous pout - we used 0.7ml of Belatero Intensive to get these results. We can add up to 1.0ml if patients want, and often don't have to use such a volumising product - we make sure we tailor our treatment to your needs. @merzaesthetics.au #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #smile #beforeandafter #lipfillers #lips #naturallips #injectables #fillers #smilemakeover #cosmeticdentistry #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela

13.01.2022 SUGAR AND NUTRITION Everything you eat and drink can have a major effect on the health of your teeth and gums. Tooth decay is a diet-related disease that commonly develops in response to our consumption of sugar. Sugar from the foods and drinks we consume is taken up by decay-causing bacteria that live on the surfaces of our teeth. These bacteria process the sugar, turning it into acid which draws out minerals from the tooth. If this process happens over and over, without any... effort to prevent or stop the disease process, it can eventually result in the formation of tooth decay. Find below pro tips for reducing your sugar consumption to help prevent tooth decay. - Drink lots of water - Limit sugar to 5% of total energy intake - Read the labels of foods and drinks - Use sugar free chewing gum #dentist #perthdentist #oralhealth #dentalhealthweek2020 #sugar #decay #toothdecay

13.01.2022 WHAT DOES LEVEL 2 MEAN? From the 26th of April onwards dental treatment restrictions have been dropped to Level 2. This means we can now provide more care for our patients, although there are still some things we cannot do. What we do before seeing you will still be the same: social distancing in the clinic, pre-procedural questions, temperature checks and oral rinsing. Most treatments can be performed with extra precautions such as rubbed dam use, and consultations for futu...re treatment is all ok. Surgical extractions and implant placements are still unable to be done in a general dental setting or for non-urgent care. If you have been putting off having treatment or have any questions at all please do not hesitate to give is a call on 93818700. If you need to speak to a dentist but cannot attend the clinic we now also have teleconsultations available! #dentist #dental #covid19 #coronavirus #stayhome #flattenthecurve #peace #shentonparkfamilydental See more

13.01.2022 SPACE CLOSURE WITH INVISALIGN CLEAR REMOVABLE ALIGNER ORTHODONTICS This gentleman didn't even think anything could be done with his teeth, even though he didn't like the way the top and bottom teeth met at the edges and were wearing away... But by luck he came with his wife to an appointment to see her Invisalign Clincheck movies and decided to give it a go himself! After 12 months of treatment he now has a comfortable bite, reduced future wear of his teeth and a nice smile t...o boot! (And his wife is jealous that he has finished first! ... We will show you how she looks when the time comes!) So if you have an uncomfortable bite or any other aspect of your teeth or smile that you are unhappy with, why not have a consultation to see if there is anything we can do for you? @invisalign_au #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #smile #smilemakeover #beforeandafter #cosmeticdentistry #cosmeticdentist #invisalign #myinvisalignjourney #invisalignbeforeandafter #orthodontics #straightteeth #clearaligners #removableorthodontics #removablealigners #gappedteeth #spacedteeth #edgetoedgebite #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela @ Shenton Park Family Dental See more

13.01.2022 DENTIST IN TRAINING Thanks @han_witherick for capturing these fun moments of Dr Tessa's son Johannes (age 2.5) coming in for his dental check up, with his dad @tielec01 ! We recommend the first visit to occur between 18 months - 2 years to check on health, growth and tooth development as well as familiarisation with the dentist and the clinic. We treating kids at our family practice! #dentist #dentistry #familydentist #familydentcare #childrensdentistry #paediatricdentistry #healthyteeth @ Shenton Park Family Dental

13.01.2022 FURTHER DROP OF RESTRICTIONS! We are now down to Level 1, which means any restrictions on treatment are removed however we must still observe regulations around the appointment, such as pre-appointment checks of health and travel, maintaining social distancing at the clinic, and so on. So if you have been delaying your appointment for any reason now is the time to book! If you have any questions about your appointment - from before you arrive, once here and afterwards - please give our friendly reception team a call. Well done WA for our joint effort in getting this far! #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #smile #covid19 #coronavirus #level1 #welldoneWA #welldoneaustralia

12.01.2022 CROWDING CORRECTION WITH CLEAR REMOVABLE ALIGNER ORTHODONTICS This young lady has quite significant crowding but felt that clear aligner therapy was the best option for her - especially as we could tailor it around her uni schedule which included an exchange in another country! For this case we used Invisalign clear aligners. We are so happy to finally see her smiling like this! @invisalign_au #dentist #dentistry #cosmeticdentistry #orthodontics #beforeandafter #invisalign #invisalignbeforeandafter #clearaligners #removableorthodontics #smilemakeover #smile #straightteeth #drtessalamela #shentonparkfamilydental @ Shenton Park Family Dental

While treatment options may be limited we will endeavour to make sure you are comfortable and not in pain. We will not see patients who have: - symptoms of sickness, even just fever - been travelling in the last 14 days even domestically - been in contact with a traveller in the last 14 days - have been in contact with a confirmed case of Covid-19 within 14 days - think they could be infected or are waiting test results, even in the absence of any symptoms IF YOU HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE THERE IS NO FEE TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE.

And soon this patient will have even more to smile about as she soon starts her at home whitening journey. Over the last 12 months she has been undergoing Invisalign clear aligners removable orthodontics.

07.01.2022 CANINE CONVERSION Did you know that 1-2% of the population are missing there second upper front teeth, called lateral incisors? There are two main ways to deal with this: hold the spaces open and fill them in once growth is finished with dentures, implants or bridges OR move the canines into the space and then restore the canines to look like lateral incisors.... Which is just what we did for this case! This case was done using composite resin in a single dental visit, with n...o anaesthetic needed as it didnt involve any cutting of the teeth. Sometimes a porcelain veneer may be used, and your dentist can discuss with you the pros and cons of each option. And the results? Well, no one will even know you are missing teeth! #dentist #dentistry #perthdentist #smilemakeover #cosmeticdentist #cosmeticdentistry #beforeandafter #smile #missingteeth #congenitallymissingteeth #missinglaterals #missinglateralincisors #compositeresin #resinveneers #compositeresinveneers #directveneers #drtessalamela #shentonparkfamilydental See more

03.01.2022 INVISALIGN CLEAR REMOVABLE ORTHODONTICS This lovely young lady had been recommended to see Dr Tessa for Invisalign after seeing the completed results of a friend of hers. For this case we were able to use an Invisalign Lite treatment plan and complete treatment in 12 months. Her smile speaks for itself now! (Just don't forget to wear that retainer!)

03.01.2022 Shenton Park Family Dental is closely monitoring the ongoing coronavirus (CoVid-19) situation. The safety and well-being of our staff, patients and community is out top priority. Apart from the normal high accreditation-standard infection control procedures we already have in place, we have introduced some new policies during this time, including temperature checking of all staff and patients when entering the building, pretreatment rinsing, reduction of aerosol procedures, p...ostponing some non essential procedures, and increased frequency of cleaning of high traffic areas in the clinic. We are also asking anyone who has travelled recently domestically or internationally, or been in contact with someone who has, or people who have been unwell or showing other possible symptoms (including fever in the absence of other symptoms), or been around those who are, to delay their appointment by at least 14 days. Where possible we will see emergency patients on the same day to provide pain relief, control of infection or temporisation. We are working together to keep everyone safe and look forward to having you work with us. - From all the team at Shenton Park Family Dental

02.01.2022 WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS? Dental implants are titanium screws that are placed into the jaw bone to replace one, a few or all missing teeth. They can be restored with a crown, a bridge or even a denture! They are considered the gold standard in restorative treatment options for a single missing tooth - as you can see in the example here. Did you know that the dentists at our clinic are trained to place and restore implants? Or else we can assist in organising an appointment with a local specialist for very complex cases. So if you are missing a tooth and want to see if implants are an option for you, get in touch! #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #missingtooth #missingteeth #dentalimplant #titaniumimplant #implantcrown #porcelaincrown #dentalcrown #beforeandafter #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela

01.01.2022 GAP CLOSURE WITH INVISALIGN CLEAR AND REMOVABLE ORTHODONTICS This young man didn't like the space between his upper front teeth (called a diastema) and ask if it could be closed, and while we are at it may as well widen the smile and straighten the bottom teeth! This was achieved using the Invisalign clear aligner system and took 9 months to complete treatment. If you would like to know more information about orthodontic options come and speak to us! We can treat or refer as needed! @invisalign_au #dentist #dentistry #beforeandafter #invisalign #invisalignbeforeandafter #clearaligners #removableorthodontics #smile #smilemakeover #straightteeth #gapclosure #spaceclosure #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela @ Shenton Park Family Dental

01.01.2022 REMEMBER THIS FACE! She's going to be famous one day! As an aspiring 'triple threat' this young lady didn't want to have metal braces to improve the alignment of her teeth and instead opted for Invisalign clear removable aligners. Her treatment was completed in less than 6 months! She had exceptional compliance and we have no doubt she will with her retainers either. @invisalign_au #dentist #perthdentist #dentistry #beforeandafter #smile #cosmeticdentist #cosmeticdentistry #invisalign #invisalignbeforeandafter #clearaligners #removableorthodontics #orthodontics #gonnabefamous #shentonparkfamilydental #drtessalamela @ Shenton Park Family Dental
