Glasgow Dentist at Visage Lifestyle Clinic Solves Biggest Problem in Cosmetic Dentistry

GLASGOW, Scotland - An Award-Winning Cosmetic Dentist has Employed a Master Ceramist to
Solve the Biggest Problem in Cosmetic Dentistry

Every cosmetic dentist spends time with a patient to design the perfect
smile. However, a fundamental problem in cosmetic dentistry is that the
dentist does not actually handcraft the patient’s porcelain veneers or
crowns. That responsibility is handed over to a dental technician or
‘Ceramist’ who in most cases never meets the dentist or patient. The result
can be less than perfect.

Dr Attiq Rahman said, “It is a prohibitively expensive exercise for
dentists to set up and staff a state of the art dental laboratory for their
own exclusive use, however I just couldn’t see a way to take my cosmetic
dentistry to the ultimate level without taking this step. I decided to
recruit Ian Smith who in my opinion is one of the very best ceramists in the
country.”

Master Ceramist, Ian Smith, left a top post at a large commercial dental
lab in Devon to join Dr Rahman and work full-time at the Visage Lifestyle
Clinic in Glasgow, Scotland.

Ian said, “What we do at Visage is completely different and totally
unique because I am present from the initial consultation to assist Dr Rahman
on the Smile Design, right through to the final appointment when the patient
walks out with their perfect smile. Quite often I will use my artist’s colour
palette to add the final colour and natural characteristics to the crowns and
veneers while they are being tried in the patient’s mouth. That way I can
exactly match the natural teeth in a way that is impossible for any ceramist
who cannot work the way we do at Visage. In fact I don’t know of any other
clinic where a patient can get this level of commitment and expertise and I
am thrilled to be part of it!”

There is no doubt that the results speak for themselves and the website
www.visage-glasgow.co.uk has an entire section dedicated to the
letters of thanks from Dr Rahman’s delighted patients. It would appear that
cosmetic dentistry is adapting to the needs of an ever more sophisticated
public who are prepared to research and seek out the very best. If Dr Rahman
is correct then he may well be taking Glasgow cosmetic dentistry to a truly
world-class level.

This man is a genius in dentistry. I have always wanted a veneer specialist myself. Good thinking!
