Always show your white smile to the world.

It’s an established fact that the muscles used to smile release substances into your body that make you feel better. “At the Centre for Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry, it’s all about making you smile”, says Lisa, the practice manager.

Formerly known as the East Burwood Dental Group, the center is today an integrated clinic for all aspects of general and family dental care with an emphasis on aesthetics.

“Utilising the latest in dental technology, our goal is to provide each patient with a dental experience that meets their highest expectations”, says Dr Alex Fibishenko, the practice principal. “We offer Brite Smile technology for teeth whitening, and sleep dentistry for anxious patients and young children. Also available is ‘Invisalign’ no-braces teeth straightening, which allows patients to straighten their teeth with transparent plastic aligners”. Having received training from some of the world experts in the fi eld Dr Alex Fibishenko is an Australian leader in advanced rehabilitation with dental implants. The latest developments in dental implants offer an attractive solution for people dealing with the discomfort of dentures or deteriorating teeth. Implant-supported replacement teeth are permanent, better looking and unlike previous implant options, take only a few days to complete.


“There are a lot of denture wearers out there, particularly from the baby boomer era as there was a very high extraction rate in the 1950’s, 60’s and 70s,” says Dr Alex Fibishenko “but with today’s technology we are gradually changing the look of Melbourne, one smile at a time”.

“Dentures can be loose and incredibly uncomfortable, making it difficult to eat, taste food, talk or feel confident in social settings.” Some people have been put off getting implants due to the length of time it took to perform. “Traditionally implant treatment involved many stages over an extended period of up to 2 years. Today, modern implant design and state-of-the-art surgical techniques allow most patients to have fixed teeth fitted at or within a few days from the surgery” says Dr Alex Fibishenko.


“Our latest and popular publication entitled ‘What Makes You Smile’ available from our clinic to nonpatients for $5 may help individuals understand a fixed alternative to dentures”, says Lisa. Also practicing at the centre are Dr Miller and Dr
Bormann, both of whom have extensive experience in cosmetic and family dentistry. Dr Miller is also an accredited member of Australian Sleep Association and works with a respiratory physician offering treatment for snoring and sleep apnea.
Interest free finance is available for all procedure to approved applicants.

Your smile is essential!

A single discoloured tooth is often caused by pulpal necrosis which means that you need root canal treatment. The problem is, that even after such treatment the tooth remains discoloured and gets worse with time. Where the tooth is otherwise totally sound it may be suitable for internal bleaching. In addition, composite or porcelain veneered facings may be considered to make the tooth look normal. However in most cases the tooth itself is somewhat compromised and a porcelain crown is the most effective solution. A crown is better able to mask the discolouration and also protects the tooth from further damage. In more complex cases where the gums have receded showing the darkened root of the tooth, minor orthodontic extrusion and a dental implant may be required. Whatever the treatment, single discoloured teeth should be managed by a highly skilled dental team. Being embarrassed to smile may be an obstacle to your personal, professional and social success. So pick up the phone and get it fixed. your smile is essential.

Implants Leave You Smiling

The latest development in dental implants offers an attractive solution for people dealing with the discomfort of dentures or deteriorating teeth.

Implant-supported replacement teeth are permanent, better looking and unlike previous implant options, take only a few days to complete.

‘‘There are a lot of denture wearers out there, particularly from the baby boomer era as there was a very high extraction rate in the 1950s and 60s,’’ says Dr Alex Fibishenko, from the Centre for Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry, an Australian leader in advanced rehabilitation with dental implants.

‘‘Dentures may look OK but they can be incredibly uncomfortable, making it difficult to eat, taste food, talk or feel confident in social situations.’’

Many people have been put off getting implants due to the costs involved as well the length of time it took to perform.

‘‘Traditionally implant treatment involved many stages over an extended period of up to two years. Today, modern implant
design and state-of-the-art surgical techniques allow most patients to have fixed teeth fitted at or within a few days from the surgery,’’ Dr Fibishenko says.

Technology has allowed dentists to perform much of the procedure without the patient even being present.

‘‘To get it right a detailed work-up is done before the surgery to design your smile. After the implants are placed, teeth are set in wax in Madame Tussauds style, and tried in for fine tuning. You can see exactly what you are getting. It’s completely individualised. The procedure costs around $18,000 to $24,000 for a full upper or lower set, substantially less than it once did.

‘‘Though still not cheap, implants are permanent and for many, can have a dramatic effect on their life. A good smile improves a person’s self-esteem, it improves their confidence,‘‘ Dr Alex Fibishenko says. For more details go to www.smilenet.com.au.
