ft in life was my business partner, my angel Dr Amin Rabie. After years of gaining experience and refining our craft, Dr Amin and I decided to build a practice where we could do dentistry differently—focused on quality, care, and connection. We found our home on England’s Lane in Primrose Hill, September 2003, and opened Smile Solutions with one mission: to treat every patient the way we’d treat our own family. Over the years, our clinic has grown into a multidisciplinary hub of excellence, with a talented team of associates and support staff who share our ethos and elevate our work every day. Together, we’ve expanded into advanced cosmetic, restorative, and facial aesthetic care. The journey has been one of joy and our luck in life has been our wonderful team who make all our dreams possible.

👩🏻‍⚕️🦷📂 Case Discussions with Dr B. “Cracked Tooth Syndrome” ⚡️🦷🥲

“It only hurts sometimes.” That sentence matters.

Cracked tooth syndrome can be one of the most frustrating dental problems because the pain is often inconsistent. A tooth may feel completely fine one moment, then give a sharp pain when biting, chewing on something hard, or releasing the bite. Sometimes cold triggers it. Sometimes the patient cannot even identify exactly which tooth is causing the problem.

That does not mean the pain is imagined. It means the diagnosis needs care.

Cracks do not always show clearly on an Xray, especially if they are hidden under an old filling or running through a heavily restored tooth. The history, symptoms, bite tests, photographs, magnification and clinical judgement all help us work out what is really going on.

A cracked tooth is usually a structural problem. If the crack flexes under pressure, it can irritate the nerve inside the tooth. Left untreated, the crack may deepen, the nerve may become inflamed, and the treatment needed may become more complicated.

Early warnings are still warnings.

Sometimes the tooth can be protected with a carefully planned restoration, onlay or crown. Sometimes root canal treatment may be needed first. Sometimes, if the crack has travelled too far, the tooth cannot be saved.

The important part is simple. Intermittent pain does not mean insignificant pain. In dentistry, catching the warning early can make all the difference.

Less Expensive? 💲

We all understand budgets. Not everyone has the same financial freedom, and not every patient can choose the most expensive treatment option.

But cheaper is not always better value. Especially when it comes to health.

When dental treatment is made “cheap”, something usually has to give. Time. Diagnosis. Materials. Experience. Planning. Consent. Aftercare. Long term accountability.

That is the part patients are rarely shown on the glossy before and after photos.

In the UK, dentists are accountable to the GDC, CQC, indemnity providers, complaints procedures and strict professional standards. That does not make every UK dentist perfect, but it does mean there is a framework of responsibility around your care.

At Smile Solutions London, we understand that not every patient’s budget allows for the highest level ceramic restoration. That is exactly why proper dentistry should include options. Composite. Onlays. Phased treatment. Interim restorations. Careful repairs. Sensible treatment planning.

Good dentistry is not about forcing the most expensive option. It is about choosing the right option, carried out properly, with your long term health in mind.

The danger with holiday dentistry is not just what happens on the day. It is what happens years later when crowns fail, nerves die, gums recede, bites collapse, or teeth that could have been saved now have very little left.

And then who picks up the pieces?

Often the patient comes back home needing someone to undo, redo, repair or rescue the work. That is usually more complex, more expensive, and sadly sometimes no longer fully possible.

Please stop believing that a quick trip abroad for a full mouth of “perfect white teeth” is the same as long term healthcare.

Your teeth are not a trend. They are not a bargain buy. They are part of your body. Choose carefully!

Veneer. Overlay. Porcelain sleeve.

Whatever term is used, the final result must still be natural teeth. No matter how beautiful the preparation is, how detailed the planning is, or how skilled the dentist may be, ceramic work ultimately depends on the hands, eyes and artistry of the laboratory technician.

This is where the wise dentist has invested years getting to know the right technician, building a communication stream that is seamless and flows like water in a river. When you describe what you want for your patient, only the technician who can truly translate that vision will still be working with you 30 years later.

A relationship with a lab technician is like a marriage, but even more detailed. Because it is not just two people trying to understand each other, there is a third person in the middle, the patient, with their wishes, their face, their smile and their trust.

At Smile Solutions, this is where we excel, after more than 30 years of knowing our technicians and knowing who to go to for which ceramic, which effect and which patient. Every case is bespoke, and the magic is never when porcelain looks expensive, it is when it looks like it was always meant to be there.

Spot it? 🔍

The pleasure in fitting a single unit that seamlessly melts into the dentition as one of its own is immense.

Much more so than fitting multiple units or a full mouth, where every ceramic is made from the same material and designed to be identical from the start.

This is real talent.

Being able to disguise one single ceramic unit amongst a full arch takes huge skill, planning and attention to detail.

When a dentist gives a molar the same respect that the front teeth receive, you know they have reached a different level in dentistry.

It is knowing that consistently doing their best, every single time, and maintaining that level of care, is their normal.

Photos like this speak more volume than a multiple unit case ever could.

It is the collaboration, communication and understanding between the dentist and ceramist that has been perfected.

This kind of dentistry attracts a very special group of clientele who appreciate it, understand it and value the difference.

Crown 👑

A crown is not just a pretty white hat for a tooth.

A well made full coverage crown is designed to protect what is left of a tooth when there is not enough natural tooth structure remaining, or when the balance between tooth and filling material is no longer favourable.

We often use crowns for heavily broken down teeth, cracked teeth, teeth with very large restorations, and sometimes after root canal treatment, where the remaining tooth may be more vulnerable to fracture. Current evidence still supports cuspal coverage for many weakened posterior root treated teeth, although the final decision depends on how much sound tooth is left.

Crowns can also be used to change the shape, shade or position of a tooth when simpler, more conservative options will not give the right result.

But let’s be honest. A crown is not a reversible treatment. The tooth underneath must be prepared, and the amount of preparation depends on the material, the bite, the case design and the clinical situation. That is why proper diagnosis, planning and consent matter.

The magic is when a crown is made so beautifully that it disappears.

The anatomy, texture, colour, translucency, surface detail and tiny natural imperfections all have to be recreated. That requires an experienced dentist, an excellent technician, and a laboratory team with the eye and skill to copy nature.

Splints 🧲🦷

We can make them beautifully.
We can adjust them precisely.
We can show you exactly how to wear them.

But the one thing we cannot do?

Wear them for you.

There are many types of splints. Michigan splints, soft splints, hard splints, hybrid splints and all sorts of carefully modified appliances designed around a specific problem.

Bruxism. TMJ strain. Jaw pain. Occlusal protection. Tooth wear. Muscle tension. Sometimes even to gently guide or stabilise the bite.

But here is the honest bit.

A splint only works when it leaves the drawer.

That one night you forget becomes two.
Two becomes twenty.
Then six months later, it has quietly joined the museum of “things I definitely meant to wear.”

If we have made you a splint, it is not just a piece of plastic. It is a treatment appliance. It has a job.

Wear it. Persevere with it. Let it do the work.

Instant? 🪄Or not? 💁🏻‍♀️

What looks “instant” online is often weeks of planning in real life.

It starts with chairside mock ups. It starts with letting the patient see what a full diastema closure would actually look like on their own face. Not on a screen. Not on someone else’s smile. On them.

Then comes the clever skilled part.

Can we close the spaces without making the teeth look too square?
Can we manipulate the material, the line angles, the proportions and the light reflection so the final smile still looks natural?

Sometimes the patient takes mock up photographs home. Sometimes they even leave with the temporary mock up composite in place, so they can show their family, parents or partner and really think about it.

Then, and only then, the final procedure takes place.

So when you see “instant smile makeover”, remember this: The dentistry certainly did not happen in one session.

Sugar, poison? ☠️

Sugar is not poison.

But frequent sugar exposure is one of the strongest dietary risk factors for tooth decay.

Every time we eat or drink free sugars, bacteria in plaque produce acid. That acid drops the pH around the teeth and starts demineralising enamel. Do that occasionally, saliva can help repair. Do it all day, the teeth never get a proper recovery window.

That is why the World Health Organization recommends keeping free sugars below 10 percent of daily energy intake, and ideally below 5 percent, to reduce dental caries risk. A major systematic review in the Journal of Dental Research also found lower decay levels when sugar intake is reduced.

So no, one dessert is not the villain.. The problem is sipping, snacking, grazing and “just a little bit” all day long.

Frequency feeds decay.

Keep sugar occasional, not constant.

Fixed Retainers ⛓️‍💥🦷⛓️‍💥🦷⛓️‍💥🦷

Orthodontics does not finish the day the braces come off or the aligners stop.

That is the day retention begins.

When we move teeth, we are moving them through bone, ligament, gum fibres, bite forces, lips, tongue and time. Those tissues need time to stabilise, and that is why teeth can relapse if they are not held properly.

Most patients will have a night time Essix retainer. That is the clear plastic retainer that sits over the teeth. It is excellent, but it depends on the patient wearing it, keeping it safe, and making sure it has not distorted.

A fixed lingual retainer gives us another layer of protection.

But here is the important part. A fixed retainer does not always have to be one perfect continuous wire placed in the most textbook way.

Sometimes space is limited. Sometimes the bite is tight. Sometimes the anatomy does not allow us to place one long wire exactly where we would like it.

So we think sectionally.

We can retain the teeth in several segments, as long as the front six teeth are being held securely in position. The aim is not to win a beauty contest behind the teeth. The aim is to stop those teeth moving.

Then we provide the Essix retainer over the top, so the patient has both forms of retention working together.

This is where experience matters. It is not always about saying, there is no space, so we cannot do it. It is about manipulating the design, adapting the wire, placing the bonding carefully, and finding a way to give the patient the retention they need.

Because moving teeth is one thing….
Keeping them there is the real long game!

Composite Removal 🪚👀

Can composite veneers be removed before aligners?

Yesish.

Composite can be removed.
But removing composite without removing any enamel is a completely different level of dentistry.

That takes time. Magnification. Dehydration. Careful polishing. And a dentist who is willing to go painfully slowly.

Most of the time, some enamel will be touched or some composite will be left behind. That is the uncomfortable truth.

So before you have composite veneers, ask the better question.

Are my teeth already in the right position?

Because if orthodontics is likely later, do that first.

The best dentistry is not just about what can be done. It is about doing things in the right order, so you do not pay twice, treat twice, and panic when we have to go backwards.

Composite bonding can be a beautiful trial smile before ceramics. But it should never be used casually when the teeth actually needed moving first.

Wanting composite removed is one thing.
Removing only composite is another.
