Smiles in time for Christmas - December 12, 2009
Dentist Lincoln Harris shares a smile with patient Caroline Michell.
SMILING was something Gin Gin mother Caroline Michell avoided less than two months ago, but now it is tough to keep the grin from forming on her face.
Miss Michell had been waiting for five years to have her teeth fixed at the Bundaberg Hospital Dental Clinic.Her teeth were so bad she could not consume solid food and was told she would have to wait another two years for treatment.
Staff at Harris Dental Boutique in Bargara heard of Miss Michell’s plight and offered a hand providing free dental treatment.“Even just to go out into public is easier because people aren’t looking at my bad teeth,” Miss Michell said.
Miss Michell said her dental work would take about another six months to be completed and she has had temporary dentures since the end of November, but still not been able to eat solid food.“Hopefully by Christmas I’ll be able to eat the good Christmas food which I haven’t been able to for a few years,” she said.
Miss Michell said she could not believe the support she had been given.“I would like to thank Lincoln Harris for generously donating his time and services and care for filling my dream of being able to smile with confidence again,” she said.
Harris Dental Boutique owner Lincoln Harris said he offered to work on Miss Michell’s teeth after she spoke out about her long wait for treatment.“Hopefully we can give her her smile back,” he said.
The good fortune did not stop there with Harris Dental Boutique staff donating their time and services for patients with a health care card yesterday.
Dr Harris said he and his staff provided just under $10,000 of free treatment for 19 people.“We’ve done all sorts of things — gum treatments, fillings and one lady who just wanted a check-up and scaling,” he said.
Dr Harris said they offered the day to ease the pressure off the Bundaberg Hospital dental clinic, but realised one day was not enough, but meant a lot of the patients.
Dr Harris said the boutique was considering offering more days of free treatment.“We just wanted to get used to the day and then we will see how often and if we can repeat it,” he said
Community Dental Day:
On Friday December 11, 2009, Dr Lincoln Harris and his team at Harris Dental Boutique will dedicate a full day to see as many patients as possible for Free Dental Treatment. This day is the first Community Dental Day Harris Dental Boutique will hold, there are plans for more Community Dental Days in 2010. Dr Harris said "It's not just me, but my entire team at Harris Dental Boutqiue would like to give back to the community, this is just one way we know how".
Implants Do you have loose dentures or missing teeth?
Dental implants are the most effective way to replace your missing teeth and return your gums, teeth and smile to their best!
Loose dentures can be attached to dental implants to make your dentures stable and firm. Dental implants can enhance your smile, improve your chewing ability, and prevent the pain of dentures rubbing against the gums.
When replacing missing teeth dental implants are total tooth replacements. Implants may replace multple teeth or just one. Teeth they cannot be saved from decay or infection may be replace by an implant. Dental implants in many cases are the answer for any teeth that need to be entirely replaced!
An implant itself is the titanium post which acts as a replacement root sitting in the jaw, like the root of a tooth. Dental implants are a very similar shape to that of a natural tooth's root. An attachment inside which allows the top of the tooth to screw firmly into them, recreating a natural looking, healthy tooth.
To find out more about dental implants, please call our Treatment Co-ordinator Jude McNally, she can assist with your questions, and will find a suitable Dental Implant Consultation appointment with Dr Harris who will be able to assess your situation and make recommendations for different treatment options.

Adult Six Month Braces
 
Before Braces After Braces
Six Month Braces Most people think that braces are mainly for
kids and take 2 –4 years. Not anymore! Using tooth coloured brackets
and small space age wires, Dr Harris can straighten your teeth in an
average time of 6 months. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? It’s not.
IT’S REAL!!
Many adults who have had crooked or spaced teeth throughout their life have lost hope. ‘6 Month Braces’ is an easy and affordable way to greatly improve your smile leaving the embarrassment of crooked and spaced teeth in the past!
Invisalign
By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth with results you'll notice sooner than you think. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into straighter position step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile.
Less treatment time. An average Invisalign course of treatment takes about a year. You'll see Dr Harris every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and to check progress. At regular intervals, you'll receive a new set of custom-molded clear aligners to continue the straightening process.
Clear. And Comfortable. Since Invisalign is practically invisible, there's no unwarranted attention to your mouth. In fact, very few people will notice at all - unless you tell them. They're comfortable to wear and remove easily when you eat, brush, and floss. All across the country, people now have great smiles and straighter teeth, thanks to Invisalign. Why not join them?
