It has been a while since I have updated the blog and apologies for that. Everyone at StoneRock has been phenomenally busy for the past few months with training courses in Geneva, lecturing here in the UK, doubling our professional team and expanding into our fourth surgery. We now have specialist in restorative care (crowns, bridges, implants), periodontal care (gum surgery), oral surgery (difficult tooth extractions) and a qualified implantologist. You can find out more about every member of our team by clicking on the link below.

Anyway, enough excuses, on with the slide show! The photos below are examples of smile enhancements done using direct “add on” procedures known as “bio-aesthetic” work or with indirect ceramic work. Bio-aesthetics uses the natural layering technique to build teeth up using direct white filling materials. The main advantage of this work is that involves little or no drilling, typically no anaesthetics and can be completed in 1 visit. Ceramic work gives a greater control of the smile enhancement and allows the dentist to completely alter colour, size, shape and position of the teeth.
Bio-aesthetics used to improve the appearance of very worn front teeth
Bio- aesthetics used to rebuild missing tooth and repair fracture line.
The missing tooth was rebuilt in the mouth using a combination of composite filling material and modern fibre reinforcement systems that we use at StoneRock. There was no drilling to sound tooth tissue in this case.
Ceramic work was used to great affect in this case to transform a smile.
Only 4 teeth were treated but the whole smile is enhanced
Ceramic work was used to alter and entire smile to wonderful affect
At StoneRock we pride ourselves in the work we produce. We aim to provide our patients with every treatment choice available so they can make the decision that it right for them. If you would like to know more about how these techniques could change your smile then please do not hesitate to contact us. (contact us)

Just some photos to show you that we do occasionally down tools and have some fun. This years StoneRock Party was a huge success due entirely to the hard work of Russell and his wife Sam. Thank you so much for all of their efforts and generosity.
I know that everyone enjoyed themselves and the feel good factor amongst the whole team will last for a good few months to come.
The following photos are a salutatory lesson in why you should never mix alcohol with mechanical rodeo bulls. (Clearly this only applies to the adults, the children were far more sensible).

I have recently returned from a much needed long weekend in Rome. My wife, Shelley, and I went with four close friends (and no children) for our annual “stick a pin in the map” weekend away.
We stayed in a very basic (yet very expensive) hotel right by the Spanish Steps and managed to spend every minute either walking round every building, monument or fountain built more than 10 years ago. The weather was beautiful and the food was everything we had hoped for and more.
I have uploaded a couple of photos the last of which shows clearly how we were all able to blend in seamlessly with the locals, just like the social chameleons we are!

I have just got back from an amazing weekend in Turku, Finland where I was attending the everStick 10-year anniversary. “everStick” is a product that we use in dentistry to restore very broken down teeth, often avoiding the need for a laboratory made crown. It is an amazing product and it is transforming the way that we think about dentistry.
I was lucky enough to be involved in the presentations through my work with Jansie van Rensburg who has been working with these fibres for many years. Jansie and I gave a brief lecture each to a group of interested dentists, here in the UK before we went to Finland and the response on both occasions was very positive. We hope to give many more lectures and hands on courses over the next few months and years and I hope to return to Finland soon to further my skills in this very exciting area in dentistry.
Clearly it wasn’t all work over in Turku and we were treated to a splendid day touring the stunning archipelago that surrounds this south west coast of Finland. I’ve posted a photo of this trip, just to show that I do occasionally leave my surgery.
