32 Tuesday April 4 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi WESTERN NEWS A more youthful appearance When it comes to dentures, Christchurch people have access to world-leading techniques and oral aesthetics right on their doorstep. At his Montreal St studio Lovebite, internationally-renowned dental technician Richard Greenlees creates beautiful bespoke dentures with small nuances in the fabrication, colour and shape and even slight imperfections to create a uniquely individual smile. Not only do Lovebite teeth look real, the whole structure and shape of the patient’s face is transformed with Richard’s top-ofthe-line dentures – something he calls his signature ‘denture lift’. “With appropriate facial support, the facial tissues are brought back into the correct position, the lips are reformed, and beauty is restored,” he says. It is the interior architecture of a Lovebite denture that helps to create a more youthful appearance by recovering the face and skeletal shape that can be lost after years of wearing dentures. As the smile is transformed, so is the patient’s confidence, and the way they feel about themselves. There is no need for These Lovebite dentures have been handcrafted by internationally-renowned dental technician Richard Greenlees to closely resemble natural teeth, resulting in a beautiful smile, tailored to the patient’s character and individuality. dentures to look false. Richard takes a great deal of satisfaction in making bespoke dentures that look 100 percent real and natural, personally guiding his patients through the transformation process, to craft a smile that reflects their individuality and personality, and recreates their natural predenture smile. Richard’s vast experience includes 15 years running his own clinic in the prestigious Harley St, London, where he treated people from all walks of life, from barrow boys to the rich and famous, politicians, actors and musicians. His techniques are recognised as worldleading amongst his international peers and he is regularly asked to lecture and run courses worldwide. Miles Cone (DMD, MS, FACP, CDT), a prosthodontist from Oregon, US, said in November 2015: “Richard Greenlees’ craftsmanship is as stunning as it is unique. There is liberation in the calculated imperfection, indeed an asperity that reflects a purely human element”. In addition to dentures, Richard also carries out crown and bridge, veneer and implant work, in conjunction with likeminded dental surgeons who complement his creative and aesthetic work. “Teeth are as different as fingerprints and vary greatly depending on a person’s age, sex and race. Dentures from Lovebite reflect this, and are as unique and individual as the people they are made for,” says Richard. There is nothing more satisfying for Richard, than to see his patients leave the Lovebite studio with their self-confidence and identity restored, as well as their smile.

WESTERN 2 [Edition NEWS datE] Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday April 4 2017 33 FLAME FILES SENIOR LIVING A natural approach to health WARNING: A hot paint-stripping gun and dry wood is a dangerous combination. Take care when stripping paint • By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer ABOUT ONCE a year we get called to a house that has been set on fire with a paint stripping heat gun. Of course, houses that have paint of so many coats and thickness that they require a heat gun, are normally made of timber, generally many years old and dry as a bone. We had one of these fires on Tuesday in Jutland St, North New Brighton. Thankfully, this time the occupants of the house noticed the wisps of smoke and called the Fire Service nice and early. So that a garden hose and a thermal imaging camera check for hot spots were all that was needed. Sometimes the result is much worse. It pays to check for any gaps between weatherboards before starting. Birds or rodent nests in wall cavities are often responsible for fire development. Don’t burn your house down trying to improve it. Smoke was also seen seeping out of a house by neighbours in Skipton St, Mairehau, a week ago. This time it turned out to be muffins too long in the oven so it was a matter of clearing the smoke away for the attending crew. Sad for the St Albans watch that attended. They like muffins. Daylight saving ended on Sunday. If you haven’t already done it, take the time to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms. What do you consider to be the main moderator of your health? Do you consider what you eat to be the number one influence on the way your body operates, or is it the amount and type of exercise? Maybe you feel that the way you handle or deal with the stress of modern life to be the major determinant in how well and healthy you are. It could be that you feel there is a more spiritual component at play or that your genes or family history determines your health. What about health literacy? Is there a correlation between your knowledge of your own body’s workings and how healthy you are? Health literacy is about having the ability to obtain, understand and process information and services related to health and to make appropriate health decisions based on this knowledge. All of these things play an important role in health and obviously some will have more of a role than others depending on the individual. How you understand and choose to deal with your health is a complex issue involving many influences. As a natural health practitioner I see my role as being McKenzie Lifestyle Village is in the final stages of completion. There are still great sites available and we also have a number of affordable villas ready for immediate occupation. Our beautiful Leisure Centre was opened last year and the pools, gymnasium and library and lounge area are in use daily. Outside, the bowling green is very popular along with Petanque, Mini-golf and Table Bowls. By next summer the Croquet Lawn will also be available. The residents enjoy an enviable resort style lifestyle. It is also surprisingly affordable. A former Christchurch resident, Judith, says “We couldn’t have all this for what we are paying if we were still in Christchurch.” Another resident, David, says “my wife and I have never been so well off as we are now we moved to McKenzie Lifestyle Village.” There are fuller testimonials on the village homepage at mlv.co.nz. someone that can help other people to recognise the importance of these moderators, identifying the ones that are central to their health and to give them the tools and knowledge to make the choices they want to in order to achieve their health goals. I help people understand their health - explaining tests and diagnosis’s as well as researching treatments available to them. The most important approach to your health is one that is informed - we need to remember that we have choices and that it is our responsibility to question, research, explore all of the moderators involved in this aspect of our lives. No matter how you choose to deal with your health, if you are feeling uninformed, confused, frustrated, blasé or overwhelmed reach out to someone to help you feel more knowledgeable. I don’t believe there is one single approach to health (or to anything in life!), at times this is overwhelming especially if you are dealing with a chronic or life threatening issue. This is the time when you want someone to tell you the one thing that you can do that will turn things around. Unfortunately even in these The Leisure Centre at McKenzie Lifestyle Village Geraldine is a great little town with a very pleasant microclimate. There is plenty to do in and around the town with art galleries, theatre and cinema, interesting shops and boutiques, two museums and a wide range of good places to eat. For the more adventurous there are river and forest walks nearby, opportunities for biking and a choice of two local golf clubs. For more information you can talk to David Connolly about this on 0800 84 55 24. situations a multi-pronged approach is needed and that is where employing the guidance of a natural health practitioner can be of use. There are also times when a single approach has been exhausted and people are feeling like they have tried everything - often this is just a case of those people not being exposed to other choices and possible options. It is a great thing when you can facilitate a change that was previously unknown and get a positive result.
