Do You Want To Change The Shape Of Your Gums?

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

gum contouring Walker

Most Rockford, MI dental patients know that cosmetic, restorative and orthodontic dentistry procedures improve your teeth. There are treatments to reshape teeth, straighten teeth, repair damaged teeth, whiten teeth, and replace missing teeth. But what about your gums? Do you realize how integral your soft tissues are to the overall appearance of your smile?

The shape and size of your gumline can make your teeth appear too large or too small or otherwise out of proportion. Gum contouring can correct gums that appear too low or too high in relation to the teeth and design them for the perfect smile.

Grand Rapids dental patients who are unhappy with their gums might want to think about gum contouring. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentisty offer gum contouring surgery.

This procedure is also called gingival sculpting, gingival contouring, or gum graft surgery, but don’t let the term surgery frighten you. It is performed with a precision laser and is minimally invasive. The procedure usually involves very little pain and requires no recovery time.

If you are seeking more details about gum contouring or any other dental procedure, call Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry today at 616-784-2377 to schedule a smile redesign consultation.

Dental Crowns at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental Crowns at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry in Comstock Park

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 616-784-2377. 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.

Smile Makeover Questions Answered

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

straighten teeth Comstock ParkPeople with top notch oral health may want to improve specific components of their smile. Though proper brushing is critical for healthy teeth, it won’t re-contour a gumline or repair a chipped tooth. A cavity-free mouth may still have stained or slightly misaligned teeth.

If you want to correct the smile elements that can’t be improved with diligent oral hygiene, call 616-784-2377 to schedule a smile makeover consultation with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry. During your consultation, we will speak with you about:

Function
Proper function is priority one. Your smile redesign will maintain or improve your ability to talk, eat, and smile.

Beauty
This is probably the main reason you are choosing to transform your smile. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull will describe the cosmetic improvement options and the technical details involved with each procedure.

Health
If you have existing tooth decay or gum disease, these issues need to be addressed prior to your cosmetic concerns. It may be possible to combine needed restorative procedures with your cosmetic work.

Cost

Each smile makeover is completely unique; therefore the price varies from patient to patient depending on the specific procedures performed. During your consultation, Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull will give you an estimate for your cosmetic dental smile makeover.

If you are interested in learning more about smile transformations, please call Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry today at 616-784-2377.

Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

Comstock Park Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Comstock Park and throughout Michigan. Numerous ads for whitening products in our local media contain terms such as ‘White Brite’, ’22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

We recommend that our local Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI area patients talk to Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull DDS at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry about teeth whitening.  Just because teeth whitening products are readily available it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion from Dr Stewart and Dr. Hull is recommended.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you have tetracycline stained teeth or existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work. It is  important to get a professional opinion from Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull about worry free teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile. Many of our patients have benefited from porcelain veneers. Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening. Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. Call our office today at 616-784-2377 to schedule a consultation.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Common Myths About Comstock Park Family Cosmetic Dentistry

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

smiling woman in hat

Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many so-called Rockford, MI cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Grand Rapids dental procedures such as tooth replacement prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many important advantages for Sparta dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 616-784-2377 to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss veneers.

Myth #4: Grand Rapids Braces are the Only Way to Correct Crooked Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Rockford, MI teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, veneers can reshape your teeth and help you achieve a beautiful smile in as little as two visits.
