Our Dear Soho Dental Family,

As we continue to face the challenges of the pandemic, we wanted to wish and your loved ones the best of health and resilience during this difficult time. As a reminder, dentistry has been recognized as an essential service and we continue to see our patients for their dental needs, as we did during the last lock down declared by the provincial government.

Your health and safety remain our priority as we continue to stay vigilant and follow the strict safety protocols that have been recommended by Public Health of Ontario and the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario. These measures have kept our patients and staff safe since we returned to work last June.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns regarding your dental care during this time.

Sincerely,

Dr.Haji and your Soho Dental Team

Throwback! ⁣
⁣
This is where it began 25 years ago, in my general practice residency. Digital photography was not commonplace. Yes, this picture was taken with a film camera! 📷 The internet was in its infancy, 2x loupes were all that we had and amalgam restorations were all the rage. ⁣
⁣
So much has changed! What has remained the same however is my desire to be of service to my patients. That I can live my purpose and do something that truly gives me so much joy is a blessing. For this, I am truly grateful. 🙏🏽🙏🏽⁣
⁣
Happy National Dentist’s Day to all my colleagues who have managed to navigate an extremely difficult year in order to continue to live their purpose. I know what you have been through and I honour your resilience! 👏⁣

✨Bonding and temporary veneers. ✨⁣
⁣
The journey has begun for our patient who wanted to close the spaces between the upper lateral incisor teeth. ⁣
⁣
The worn edges on the central incisors are restored with bonding. The lateral incisors will be restored with porcelain veneers. The second photograph shows the provisionals immediately after the appointment. ⁣
⁣
The provisionals are a fabricated from acrylic and the colour match will not be perfect but they guide us in determining the colour and contour of the final porcelain veneers. ⁣
⁣
The gums are slightly irritated from the polishing. This is not uncomfortable for the patient and they will heal in time for the insert of final porcelain veneers. ⁣
⁣
The provisional phase with temporary veneers is critical to determine if we have contours that will be in harmony with the bite and speech. At this point we can make changes and then mimic those changes in our final veneers. ⁣
⁣
Aesthetics and function must always work hand in hand! 🤝⁣

What is Invisalign?⁣ 🤔
⁣
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment using clear removable plastic aligners that can gradually move the teeth into proper alignment. ⁣
⁣
Treatment time varies depending upon the severity of the problem but generally, it can vary between 6-18 months. ⁣
⁣
Invisalign has evolved over the years to become an effective treatment for many orthodontic problems. The use of little tooth coloured buttons or “attachements” are an integral part of the system to help move the teeth. ⁣
⁣
The aligners can be removed for eating and for oral hygiene. This presents a significant advantage over traditional braces. ⁣
⁣
The entire course of the treatment is supervised to ensure that the teeth are moving correctly and as planned. Generally, we see patients every six weeks to verify the tooth movements and to deliver new aligners. ⁣
⁣
The planning is the most important part of the treatment! After impressions of your teeth are taken and scanned, we treatment plan your case to ensure that we achieve our goal of straightening the teeth with great consideration to the bite (the manner in which the teeth come together), gum recession, final aesthetic outcome and many other important factors that ensure the health of the teeth over the long term. ⁣
⁣
Our intention is always to achieve the best possible outcome for our patients. Many patients are referred to our orthodontist, when we determine that the orthodontic problem requires the expertise of a specialist. ⁣
⁣
Do not hesitate to contact our office for any questions about Invisalign. Helping you smile is what we love to do! ⁣😁

Please take a moment to consider and thank your dental professional during these difficult times.

In the ‘before times,’ as people are now calling the period before COVID-19, dentists were already managing a highly demanding profession with significant mental health stressors. In fact, dentists have one of the highest rates of depression and suicide amongst health workers.

Now, with COVID-19, dentists are largely forgotten in the panoply of health providers working during the pandemic. They’ve been forgotten as both business owners with a high overhead to maintain their practices and safeguard their staff, and as front-line workers, who do essential and potentially life-endangering work requiring personal protective equipment (PPE).

This has meant the stress of dentists is at an all time high.

✨Replacing a Defective Crown✨⁣ ⁣ Replacing

✨Replacing a Defective Crown✨⁣
⁣
Replacing previous dentistry poses many challenges. This case serves as a good example. There are the problems that we see. The shade and the contours can be improved. Then there are the problems that we don’t see until the previous dentistry is removed. In this case, the buccal crown margin was deeply subgingival and open, which was contributing to the inflammation. ⁣
⁣
The solution is always a compromise between what is ideal and what our patients are willing to do in terms of treatment. The compromise may not be perfect but can often create a situation where the patient is happy and we have improved the clinical condition as well! 😊⁣

✨Adjacent Composite Restorations✨⁣ ⁣ Mult

✨Adjacent Composite Restorations✨⁣
⁣
Multiple class II restorations on adjacent teeth are always a challenge. I am in awe of those practitioners who can prepare both teeth simultaneously and finish with great anatomy and contacts. ⁣
⁣
I need to prepare one tooth at a time in order not to lose the marginal ridge height of the neighbouring tooth as a guide.⁣
⁣
In this example, I restored tooth 24 DO first using 25 as my reference and then prepared 25 MOD using 24/26 to determine my marginal ridge heights. ⁣
⁣
I find that this method reduces the amount of adjustment that is needed when verifying the occlusion. ⁣
⁣
What technique do you use? I am always open to changing my ways! 😊⁣

$✨Compliance is a Critical Factor to Success⁣✨⁣ ⁣⁣ Compliance of our patients is one of the most important determinants of success. This case is a perfect example of excellent compliance. The orthodontics challenges at the beginning of treatment are numerous. Our goals were to alleviate the crowding, expand the constricted arches, lessen the overbite and to create equal spaces between the teeth upper lateral incisors for future porcelain restorations. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The success in achieving these goals with Invisalign is due to our patients compliance in wearing the aligners diligently for the full treatment time. Once the the teeth were in position, we were able to restore the the peg lateral teeth with conservative porcelain restorations and improve the embrasures between the canines and laterals with direct composite bonding. ⁣ ⁣ The Zeiss Extaro 300 microscope was used in the preparation of the teeth to produce a conservative but imperceptible margin and in the bonding of the canine teeth. Equilibrating the occlusion to centric relation, as taught by @dawsonacademy will ensure stability of the post orthodontic bite as well as providing the correct anterior guidance to prevent fracturing the restorations. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Patient compliance is critical to so many of the treatments that we provide. Would you agree with this statement? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #zeissbeforeandafter #dentistry #smile #invisalign #cosmetics #smilemakeover #extaro300 #dentalmicroscope #dentallab #emax #dentallaboratory #dentalassistant #dentalhygienist #nikonphotography #prosthodontics #toronto #sohodental @zeissmedicaltechnology$

The use of a microscope is not only beneficial for the dentist but also for the dental assistant. Swipe ⬅️ to see Lyn’s improvement in posture after some training on assisting with the microscope. I love seeing this transformation. It is the beginning of a co-ordinated, relaxed and efficient system between the dentist and assistant. Bravo Lyn! 👏⁣

Time for change?⁣ ⏰ Swipe⬅️

I always approach switching to a new material with caution. This product however has the reputation of its former self to fall back on. I have been using Voco Grandio for my posterior restorations for years. The restorations are strong and wear quite well. Today, we tried Voco Grandioso, the newer version. The handling is different as the material is more firm. This lends itself quite well to modeling for an anatomical build-up. It also polishes quite effortlessly, which was not the case previous version. Thank you to @that_voco_guy_marion for the opportunity to try Grandioso!

✨Replacement of a ceramic crown✨
⁣
The previous crown on the right lateral incisor had served the patient for many years. Unfortunately, it had cracked on the palatal aspect and required replacement. We took advantage of this opportunity to improve the colour match, add characterization and improve the gingival health at the crown margin. The preparation of the margin and a well contoured provisional were critical to improving the tissue health. Bonding to the right central and left lateral was also done to improve the aesthetics. Bonding to the canine teeth was done to provide disclusion in function. In addition, a nightguard is essential for this patient! ⁣

It was wonderful to have Rod and Lubna from Zeiss Canada at the clinic! I had the opportunity to talk about my favorite technology in the office, which is of course my microscope. The microscope has allowed me to practice ergonomically. It also helps me to see the treatment area in detail which allows me to reach my treatment goals when delivering care.

Everyday dentistry is a wonderful opportunity to hone in on basic skills. Principles of isolation, dentin bonding, anatomical detail, composite manipulation and finishing all come into play. ⁣
⁣
These principles are the foundation of more complex restorative procedures such as aesthetic bonding in the anterior. ⁣
⁣
In the end, no matter how simple or complex a procedure, attention to detail is always paramount. ⁣

✨Discoloured Front Tooth⁣ ✨ ⁣ Our patient

✨Discoloured Front Tooth⁣ ✨
⁣
Our patient was concerned about her discoloured front tooth. The discolouration is a result of trauma to the tooth when she was younger. Composite resin was added to the tooth to repair a chip from the trauma. Additional composite was added to help with the discolouration. It was time to replace the composite as it was worn and discoloured. Shade matching a dark tooth is a challenge because we are limited to the degree that we can change the shade based on the thickness of the material. The more thickness of material that we need, the more tooth structure needs to be removed. In this case, only the pre-existing composite was removed. Ideally, a porcelain restoration will give better aesthetics and longevity. Until then, our patient is thrilled with the improvement in the look of her front tooth with composite! ⁣
