Dr Albert Gajdos
At Smile Rooms, Albert’s practice includes composite bonding, composite veneers, full mouth rehabilitations, teeth straightening and smile design.
He takes a step-by-step approach to smile design using the minimally invasive technique of align, bleach and bond. This uses clear aligners to straighten teeth, bleaching to whiten and brighten, and contouring or reshaping teeth using composite bonding.
Albert’s Simplifi Composite Course is an in-depth, hands-on course focussed on composite bonding and veneers, looking at ways clinicians can overcome the challenges of placing anterior composites to ensure predictable, long term aesthetic results.
Meeting the challenges of anterior composite placement
As material selection is key to successful composite bonding, Albert takes us on an exploration to uncover the principal considerations for choosing anterior composite materials and the standout products that have made a tangible difference to his clinical practice:
- G-ænial A’CHORD universal composite
- G-ænial Anterior light-cured radiopaque composite restorative, the predecessor to G-aenial A’CHORD
- G-ænial Universal Injectable.
Albert discusses how these materials meet the main challenges of chipping, staining and control over colour and shape. He also discusses their handling, strength, polishability and how they work to achieve a successful colour match.
To conclude this insightful interview, Albert gives his take on the exciting developments on the horizon for cosmetic dentistry.
