✨ Just wrapped up an incredible trip to the USA and 2 days at the Digital Dental Symposium at the University of Pennsylvania— and I’m feeling inspired, humbled, and re-energized.

It was an honor to learn from dental leaders I’ve admired for years, like Prof. Markus Blatz, a pioneer in dental materials and aesthetics, and Dr. John Cranham, a leading voice in dental occlusion whom I first encountered through his work with the Dawson Academy.

I also found new inspiration from professionals I hadn’t known before — like Dr. Julián Conejo, Chair of Digital Dentistry at Penn, whose work is pushing the boundaries of innovation, and Sean Han, a master ceramist from Arizona whose artistry and precision are next level. 🦷🔥

Even more meaningful was getting to spend time with my daughter, who’s currently a student here. Seeing her thrive at a place like Penn makes this experience even more special. 💙📚

Grateful for the knowledge, the people, and the memories, as well as those in my professional and personal life who supported me in making this trip happen!

✨A True Team Effort for a Condident Smile ✨

This patient came to us with a missing lateral incisor, lost at a young age. With the help of our broader dental team, we were able to create a comprehensive plan to restore both function and aesthetics.

🦷Step 1: Dr Christa Engelbrecht did Orthodontic alignment with clear aligner to position the teeth correctly.
🦴Step 2: Bone grafting surgery and implant placement by our trusted surgical specialist, Dr Johann Lochner.
👑Step 3: Restorative phase with a custom crown by our favorite dental technicians at FK Dental and subtle composite bonding to create better symmetry and to perfect the natural aesthetics by Dr Christa Engelbrecht.

The result? A seamless, confident smile that looks and feels completely natural. 💙

👉Every smile tells a story, and this one was built on teamwork, expertise, and care.

✨Smile Transformation Spotlight✨

This beautiful result is the outcome of a carefully planned combination treatment:

✅First, we used orthodontic alignment to position the teeth correctly. This not only protect the teeth from further wear, but also helps with long-term stability and easier oral hygiene.
✅Once the foundation was right, we completed the transformation with custom upper and lower veneers for a natural, harmonious smile.

The result? A smile that looks amazing today and is built to last. 💎

I began treating patients with clear aligners (invisible braces) back in 2008, during my time practicing in the UK. Back then, aligners were mostly used for small tweaks—addressing minor orthodontic relapses or making subtle adjustments. Anyone who’s been in the field as long as I have will remember: the tools were limited, and we often felt like passengers in someone else’s treatment plan.

Fast forward to today—and everything has changed.

After years of searching for an aligner system that truly fit the needs of both my restorative dental practice and my patients, I found it. Around four years ago, I began working with ClearCorrect—and it’s been a game-changer.

ClearCorrect aligners have become an essential part of my clinical toolbox. Whether I’m planning a straightforward alignment or a more complex restorative case, these clear aligners give me the precision and flexibility I’ve always wanted. Most importantly, they make quality treatment more accessible and affordable for my patients.

I’m now in the driver’s seat—offering tailored, comprehensive smile solutions with confidence together with an aligner partner I can trust with my patients most valuable asset, their individual and unique smiles.

Can this piece of plastic really move teeth? 🤔 Let me tell you how.
Clear aligned may look simple, but they use gentle, targeted pressure to shift your teeth gradually. Each set is custom-made to guide your smile step-by-step, using advanced 3D technology. 🦷✨
You switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks, and over time - voilà - your perfect smile is revealed! 😁

🦷✨️A patient asked me this week why I became a dentist, and it really made me think back to try and pinpoint that feeling or moment when I knew that this was what I wanted to do with my life.
But the reality is that there was no such moment. Growing up, I was always drawn to helping others feel confident - and nothing lights up a room quite like a healthy, happy smile. Dentistry gave me the perfect balance of science, art, and connection.
I didn't just want to fix teeth - I wanted to build trust, ease fears, and be the reason someone felt better walking out than when they came in.
Every smile I restore reminds me why I chose this path. 🤍
