Dental Problems and Rate Rises
READ ONLINE intouch contributor
that have struck our world simultaneously this month, I thought I would highlight one of the best ways BelleDental can reduce your dental needs (certainly in the short term) and hopefully keep your teeth. If you know that you have dental problems, the best strategy you can have is to get an examination and formulate a plan. The object of the plan is four-fold: 1. Determine exactly what needs to be done – an overall scope of the treatment you need or want.
DR ALEX HUSZTI BelleDental Alex has had a career focused on lowbiologic cost reconstructive cosmetic dental care – common sense teeth for life.
As if Covid wasn’t enough, we now have inflation and the associated interest rate hikes to contend with. I know that many of my patients are dentally stable, to a point where they can minimise or even hold off on some of their treatment until they “catch up” around these crises. Considering the multiple factors
2. Determine the relative importance of each piece of treatment – that is: create a prioritised list of each treatment (including cost). 3. Determine all treatments that can wait – put these to one side. 4. Start working through the three highest priorities in your mouth. Understand, I’m not suggesting neglecting your teeth. Instead, by prioritising your treatment needs, the most critical teeth can be stabilised first. This kind of planning is what BelleDental is known for. Most of my patients work through a treatment plan over a number of years anyway. Frequently, teeth requiring root canal therapy can be stabilised for 12 months – this takes time. Then, the money you would have spent on the root canal therapy can be used to fill the 2 or 3 most important teeth that require fillings NOW, while the root canal therapy is put on the ‘back-burner’. At BelleDental, we believe that your journey to dental stability is just that: it’s a journey. By striving to generate stability in every single patient, we save teeth. But, more importantly, they are the teeth both you and BelleDental have identified as necessary. And ultimately, keeping your own teeth is the most costeffective way to a pleasing, functional dental capacity.
3 Techniques That SAVE Your Teeth 1
Belledental CRC’s (Composite Resin Crowns) CRC’s can rebuild teeth to a similar appearance, strength and functionality of conventional crowns with the added benefits of being much more conservative of tooth structure, repairable, and ONE appointment restorations that are often HALF the fee of conventional crowns.

Direct Resin Build-ups – All in ONE day! What if you have suffered with erosion... you have already lost much of your tooth structure – the last thing you need is your teeth being CUT AWAY EVEN MORE for crowns. Direct Resin Build-ups are a NO CUT, one day alternative that saves the remaining tooth structure and enhances the cosmetics and function of your teeth. They often require modifications to your bite to accomodate your new smile.
Direct Resin Veneers have a multitude of uses – they can be used to improve function, enhance the colour and shape of teeth, modify tooth position as well as in this case, restore teeth that have suffered trauma. Direct Resin Veneers can do this without cutting teeth – all in one visit.
