Is It Growing In Your Mouth?

Believe it or not, plaque can rear its ugly head in any Comstock Park mouth – even yours – no matter how meticulous you try to be. If you have deep grooves, watch out. If you have a receding gum line, watch out. If you are a candy-loving Comstock Park resident with the proverbial sweet tooth, watch out. However, Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry can help out.

The plaque process goes something like this:
Bacteria naturally occur in the mouth, and always will. Bacteria will try to colonize the smooth surfaces of your teeth. At first, it will be soft enough to be removed with a fingernail. After 48 hours, it will start to harden. Give it 10 days and it will be the substance most difficult to remove, tartar. (See picture.) This bacteria will feed on sugars and produce acid that will eat away the tissues of the tooth and lead to cavities. Cavities will originate on the surface and spread on and through the tooth. The best way to deal with plaque is to have a consistent removal process, i.e. regular daily brushing and flossing after eating and even sleeping.

A fabulous smile with fabulous teeth isn’t always the reality for Grand Rapids, Rockford, Walker, and Kentwood folks. We encourage anyone in the Grand Rapids area who is unhappy with their smile to consider the benefits of a smile makeover.

Cosmetic dentistry can be a significant investment but the truth of just how much it will cost for veneers, braces, dental implants, and even teeth whitening may surprise you. At our Comstock Park cosmetic dentistry office you can expect to learn about implant dentistry, restorative dentistry, porcelain veneers, and Zoom! teeth whitening, Six Month Smiles, and any number of other dental services.

Eric Hull has been serving the Comstock Park area since 1974. Call 616-784-2377 to schedule a consultation.

During our careers, we have both established reputations for excellence while providing care for many fantastic Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI residents. Performing smile makeovers makes our profession extremely fulfilling.

When we design a smile, we carefully analyze the macroesthetics (larger facial characteristics and relationships between bone structure, tooth size, and shape), and microesthetics (more delicate features such as tooth shade and degree of translucency). There is no one-size-fits-all treatment; each Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry smile design is as unique as you are.

Whether you have chipped teeth, yellow enamel, a broken dental bridge, or even missing teeth, there are procedures to fix your dental problems and give you a natural looking smile that you will be proud to show off.

A smile makeover in Comstock Park at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry typically involves two or more procedures, which may include: porcelain veneers, tooth implants, crown lengthening, dental bonding, and/or teeth whitening. Of course, just one procedure, such as tooth-colored fillings, can make a world of difference.

Call Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry at 616-784-2377 today to schedule a smile design consultation.

Implants Make Life Better For Denture Wearers

The condition of your teeth has a significant impact on your quality of life. Denture wearers understand this all too well. Tooth decay and gum disease are painful. If the teeth cannot be saved, tooth extraction will be necessary. An extraction is usually followed by bone recession.

While dentures are certainly preferable to having no teeth at all, they certainly come with a host of problems. They can irritate gums and make breathing, eating, tasting food, talking and laughing difficult. Dentures are not a once-and-your-done solution for missing teeth. As the jaw shrinks, they require relines.

But there is hope! Dental implant technology can significantly improve the quality of life for Belmont, Comstock Park, Cedar Springs, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI people who have been wearing traditional dentures. To a certain extent, implants halt the downhill progression of declining oral health due to tooth loss.

Dental implants can be used to replace several teeth and/or anchor over dentures allowing your dentist to securely attach an appliance so that it won’t slip or irritate gums. Small titanium posts are implanted into the jawbone and fuse with the surrounding bone, creating a stable base for an over denture.

Did you know that some denture wearers retain only 10 percent of their chewing ability? Implant-supported dentures can stop bone recession and restore near-normal chewing ability. Improved chewing function with implants can result in better nutrition and overall physical health. The psychological benefits are equally valuable. When Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry patients are free of embarrassing denture-slipping, they are happier, more confident, and socialize more often.

Before you spend money on another denture reline, talk to Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull about denture-stabilization implants.

Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry provides unprecedented dentistry including porcelain veneers, implant dentistry, and restorative dentistry. Our courteous team is devoted to improving the lives of our valued patients.

Call 616-784-2377 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull. Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry provides cutting-edge general and cosmetic dentistry including porcelain veneers, implant dentistry, and restorative dentistry. Our understanding team is enthusiastic about oral health and remarkable smiles.

How Do Veneers Create Stunning Smiles In Rockford, MI?

Veneers have a multitude of applications in Comstock Park cosmetic dentistry. With veneers, you can transform your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Is your tooth enamel worn and thin? Tooth-colored porcelain veneers have the brilliance and translucency of healthy tooth enamel. Many Rockford, MI dental patients have received veneers to cover worn enamel. Some believe they look twenty years younger!

Have your teeth developed uneven edges? Tooth grinding, natural wear and other factors can roughen tooth edges. Veneers are a minimally invasive correction for uneven tooth edges.

Do you have chips or cracks in your teeth? If your teeth are otherwise healthy, veneers provide a flawless tooth surface. Are your teeth yellow or gray? Veneers can fix that, too. Veneers can be fabricated in any shade to perk up your smile while still blending naturally with your other teeth and skin tones.

Porcelain veneers are paper-thin, tooth-shaped covers that are affixed to the front of teeth. Traditional veneers required the removal of a thin layer of tooth structure. Prepless veneers are applied to unaltered teeth.

Veneers are strong, natural looking, and one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures in Walker and Sparta. Of course, a tooth with extensive damage may need a dental crown.

At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we would be happy to show you what veneers can do for you. Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry is located at 769 York Creek Dr NW in Comstock Park. We provide premium dental care for many of your friends and neighbors in the greater Rockford, MI area. Our phone number is 616-784-2377.

Dental Crowns at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry

Dental crowns have been used in dentistry for over 2000 years. There is evidence that the Etruscans experimented with crowns on teeth using ivory and bone as early as 700 B.C. By 200 A.D., they began using gold crowns to construct artificial teeth. Ancient Egyptians fashioned tooth replacements out of seashells and then hammered them into their gums.

Porcelain crowns were first used in the 1800s. With the refining of metal casting methods in the 1900s, crown dentistry advanced significantly.

Today, crowns are strong, comfortable, and made to match your surrounding teeth.

Dental crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth and are cemented in place. Crowns are used to strengthen teeth that have been worn down or weakened by decay or injury. Crowns are also used to brighten and improve the appearance of one’s smile.

The most common types of crowns are:

All-porcelain (ceramic)
Porcelain-fused-to-metal
Gold

The material used is determined by several factors. If you suspect you need a crown, want to replace an old crown, or want to learn about other cosmetic dentistry procedures, call Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull at 616-827-7019. Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry is located at 769 York Creek Dr NW in Comstock Park. We have been serving patients in the Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI area since 1974. We can recommend the best tooth restoration or cosmetic dentistry option for you.
