Oakridge

The Method — Five stages

Slow is simply fewer mistakes.

I

Record

Twelve calibrated photographs, an intraoral scan and a short conversation about what actually bothers you. No treatment is discussed in this hour.

II

Study

Models are mounted and the bite is analysed away from the chair. You receive a written plan with alternatives, costs and the option of doing nothing.

III

Trial

Proposed shapes are worn in wax or temporary composite for a fortnight. You eat, speak and photograph yourself in them before a single prep is cut.

IV

Craft

Ceramics are layered upstairs by our own ceramist, shade-checked in the same north light as the surgery, morning and late afternoon.

V

Fit & review

Bonded under rubber dam, polished by hand, then reviewed at two weeks, three months and every year afterwards at no charge.

Equipment of note

  • Low-dose CBCT, scanned only when it changes the plan
  • Intraoral scanning — no impression trays since 2016
  • Five-axis mill and porcelain furnace, two floors up
  • Surgical operating microscope for every endodontic case

Stage one costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
