The latest news from Massey Smiles
We've been doing a lot of crowns lately -They make heavily filled teeth a lot stronger and look great- so I thought I'd introduce you to the man behind the scenes making them! This is Hiko who has a fantastic lab called Newmarket Dental Studio. He is a real artist and an important part of our "team". A lot of practices send their work overseas, but we love having a close relationship with a quality lab right here.
Andy and I have been flat out learning NZ sign language, with lessons every day -Our brains are bursting! This is in preparation for attending the Deaf Expo. Everyone is welcome and it should be lots of fun. There will be food, art for sale, face painting and lots more.
There's a video of us signing on our facebook page.
The details are here :

Plaque on teeth -disclosing dye in action!
What is plaque?
It's the stuff that grows on your teeth and gives you gum disease and decay. It's normally white though, so you can't see it, but we've been having fun with some new dye that makes it go pink (or blue if it has been there for ages!)
This dye can be really handy so you can see what's happening with your brushing and flossing. We really like to help our patients look after their teeth so they don't get so many dental problems.
I suspect everyone would have really clean teeth if plaque was pink naturally!
We're open now and accepting bookings! The practice is looking beautiful and we're already getting great feedback from patients.
If you'd like to find out more we love talking to people on the phone, or otherwise if you'd rather just go ahead and book yourself in then our online booking is working really well! Here's the link to book now.
Does this look exciting to you? It is for me! It's the start of Massey Smiles. There's a lot more digging to do, but it will all look great in the end.
