Integrating<br />

dentistry<br />

<strong>and</strong> oral<br />

medicine<br />

According to Dr Nalb<strong>and</strong>ian,<br />

preserving the smile <strong>and</strong><br />

maintaining the patient’s existing<br />

teeth just might hold wider<br />

benefits for overall health. In<br />

fact, Dr Nalb<strong>and</strong>ian explains<br />

tooth health has been linked to<br />

cognitive function.<br />

‘We are living longer than ever<br />

before, <strong>and</strong> dental health has<br />

never been so important,’ he<br />

says. ‘Where there is missing<br />

teeth, especially in edentulous<br />

patients, studies show the brain,<br />

which is neuroplastic, can adapt<br />

to feedback from dental implant<br />

integration within the patient’s<br />

neurophysiology.’<br />

smiles in CREMORNE has a new address <strong>and</strong> a<br />

revamped look. Caitlin Bishop reports.<br />

According to Sydney aesthetic reconstructive dentist Dr Sarkis Nalb<strong>and</strong>ian,<br />

a dental practice should be an environment that breeds creativity <strong>and</strong><br />

encourages the highest st<strong>and</strong>ards of performance in the surgeon, while<br />

also being comfortable <strong>and</strong> relaxing for the patient. ‘It needs to be a place where<br />

the patient can make the best decisions for themselves <strong>and</strong> their future,’ Dr<br />

Nalb<strong>and</strong>ian explains.<br />

He has created exactly this environment in his new, state-of-the art clinic<br />

in Cremorne, Sydney. ‘The new clinic has been designed <strong>and</strong> built for the<br />

convenience of all our patients,’ Dr Nalb<strong>and</strong>ian explains. ‘Considerable time,<br />

planning <strong>and</strong> effort means we can deliver the best treatments, in a relaxing<br />

setting, using the latest diagnostic technology, personalised treatment rooms<br />

<strong>and</strong> an in-house dental laboratory.’<br />

‘The clinic caters to new <strong>and</strong> existing Designer Smile patients, <strong>and</strong> incorporates<br />

specially built accommodation for our overseas clients.’<br />

Dr Nalb<strong>and</strong>ian has extensive experience in dental practice. He performs both<br />

implant <strong>and</strong> reconstructive procedures regularly, but believes the most important<br />

goal of dentistry should be to preserve the patient’s existing anatomy.<br />

‘The longevity of actual teeth bypass immensely the longevity of dental<br />

implants,’ Dr Nalb<strong>and</strong>ian explains. ‘Although I will place implants after careful<br />

assessment of all options, the preservation of biology is of upmost importance<br />

in my practice. In suitable cases, I will opt for procedures that require minimal<br />
