Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry In Comstock Park

Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry In Comstock Park Welcome to our Comstock Park cosmetic dentistry blog. Today’s article focuses on the difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

General dentistry in the Comstock Park and Rockford, MI area focuses on preventing and treating oral disease such as cavities and gum disease. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull can assess the best course of treatment for your dental needs.

Cosmetic dentistry procedures available at Stewart & Hull in Comstock Park include teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, composite bonding, veneers, inlays, onlays, and porcelain crowns.

Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull offer both general and cosmetic dentistry procedures. In some cases, there is a cosmetic component to restorative procedures. For example, if a Comstock Park dental patient comes in with an injury that chipped a front tooth, the tooth needs to be restored to prevent decay. The tooth may be less structurally sound leaving it vulnerable to further damage. In addition, the tooth affects the overall appearance of the smile. Depending on the extent of the damage, a root canal, porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns or composite bonding may be necessary to repair the damaged tooth.

As you can see, there is not always a definitive line between general and cosmetic dentistry. At Stewart & Hull, our very friendly and thorough team provides the full spectrum of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental procedures. We treat Rockford and Grand Rapids area patients of all ages: from children who still have their baby teeth, to more mature patients. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull perform cosmetic, general, orthodontic, and pediatric dental procedures to meet all of your family’s dental needs.

If you are looking for a full-service dental practice in the Rockford MI area, we invite you to come into Stewart & Hull in Comstock Park, We are located at 769 York Creek Dr NW. To schedule an oral examination or smile makeover consultation, call 616-827-7019.

Comstock Park and Rockford MI Area Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry not only perfects your smile, it helps to improve the health of your teeth. Using cosmetic dentistry, your face and smile can be more attractive, TMJ issues can be helped, and your self-esteem can be increased.

Regardless of the number of teeth affected, Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull re-invent smiles and correct problems by skillfully performing cosmetic dental treatments. With your input, they can design the smile of your choosing.

Invisalign and Six Month Smile Orthodontics can be the answer for misaligned teeth. We have Grand Rapids area and Comstock Park orthodontic clients of all ages. It’s never too late to straighten your teeth! Not only are straight teeth attractive, they are easier to keep clean, they function better and can make chewing more comfortable.

If you have teeth that are decayed or otherwise damaged, there are several remedies. Porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, dental bonding, inlays and onlays are some of the effective procedures.

What if a tooth is missing entirely? A dental implant is a complete restoration, including a new root! It replaces missing teeth and helps to maintain the bone levels in that area.

Please call 616-827-7019 to schedule a smile analysis consultation today. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull will explain how your smile can be transformed both esthetically and functionally.

Looking to Improve Your Smile? Get a Cosmetic Dentist

Would you go to a motorcycle mechanic to get your car fixed? The answer is probably not. When you have a tooth that is in the front of your mouth that needs dental work, you don’t want to horse around. It is very important to find a dentist who has a lot of experience with cosmetic dental cases. Here are some examples of what can go wrong if you don’t choose an experienced cosmetic dentist.

Shading: It’s important to select the right color of porcelain veneer or crown to make sure it matches the rest of the teeth. This is why it is important to choose a dentist with extensive education and abundant experience in cosmetic dentistry and one that uses a quality lab that considers shape, shade, and translucency.

Staining: There are times when simple teeth bleaching will not take away the stains in your teeth. This can sometimes require more extensive work with a combination of teeth whitening and porcelain veneers or crowns.

Soft Tissue: Many times we forget about the importance of the gum as part of a beautiful smile, but it is very important. If you lose a tooth, the gum tissue can recede. Consequently, simply placing a dental implant or bridge may not fix the aesthetic concern. Tissue grafts and other methods may need to be performed.

Whatever the concern you may have with your mouth, there is usually a universal consensus—it should look great and natural when it is finished. Please call Dr. Bruce A. Stewart and Dr. Eric D.Hull today to set up a consultation. They will happy to discuss your concerns and options to improve your smile.

Restoring Smiles at Bruce A. Stewart, DDS in Comstock Park

A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Stewart & Hull, we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many Rockford MI smiles better than they ever were before!

Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain covers that are attached to the front of one or more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both. If you like your teeth just how they are, then straighten them using Invisalign Clear Braces.

Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.

Some of our Grand Rapids and Comstock Park dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our Rockford MI cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, please call our office to schedule a free consultation. We look forward to helping you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile and life style.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Have you thought about upgrading your smile? Cosmetic dentistry offers many exciting possibilities.

The quickest and least invasive procedure is light teeth whitening. The results are dramatic and teeth whitening side effects are minimal.

If your teeth are slightly crooked, but require no orthodontic work, porcelain veneers could be the answer. Porcelain teeth veneers are translucent, wafer-thin covers that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, correcting chips and stains. Prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth structure.

If your teeth are more than slightly crooked, it’s not too late to straighten them. Patients of all ages are undergoing orthodontic treatment and achieving fantastic results. Invisalign has been straightening teeth nearly invisibly for many years now.

Has gum recession caused the metal base of an old crown to be visible? Soft tissue grafts and crown replacement can correct this problem.

Are you missing one or more teeth? One of the best tooth replacement options is a dental implant. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Can you envision yourself with a dental makeover?

Cosmetic Dental Solutions in Comstock Park

Comstock Park cosmetic dentists use dental crowns to solve a number of dental dilemmas. A dental crown is a strong, natural-looking permanent tooth restoration that covers the top of the damaged tooth.

Grand Rapids area family dentistry practices recommend crowns to remedy the following problems:

A broken tooth with decay
An ill-fitting existing crown
A decayed tooth that has lost significant tooth structure
A tooth that has had a root canal
A tooth that is too small or misshapen
A tooth that causes a bite problem

Before your Grand Rapids area dentist can attach the crown to your tooth, we must prepare the tooth. Family dentists often apply a local anesthetic so you won’t feel pain during the prepping. Dr. Bruce Stewart or Dr. Eric Hull will remove decay, if any, and shape the tooth to receive the crown. Then a mold is taken of the prepped tooth and surrounding teeth.

A temporary crown is then placed on the tooth to protect it until you return to your cosmetic dentistry office to receive the permanent restoration. The patient needs to be careful while wearing the temporary crown. Vigorous brushing or flossing can displace the crown or damage the exposed soft tissue. The Grand Rapids dental crown patient should also refrain from eating extremely hard foods like nuts or sticky candy.

The mold of your teeth is sent to a local dental lab where your crown is built. Dental crowns are fabricated in three varieties: tooth colored crowns made of resin or porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and solid metal crowns. Each type has its pros and cons. Your Comstock Park cosmetic dentists at Stewart & Hull will choose the best crown material for your particular tooth.

What if you need a permanent dental restoration for both the top and root of your tooth? Dental implants are your answer.

For more information about complete dental restorations and other cosmetic dental solutions, call Stewart & Hull at 616-827-7019 today.

Celebrity Smiles in Grand Rapids

How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Do they avoid coffee? Not likely. Every star-watching magazine is full of pictures of famous people holding Starbucks cups. Do they avoid tobacco? Some probably do, but many actors and fashion models with dazzling white smiles are smokers.

Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Bruce Stewart & Dr. Eric Hull at Stewart & Hull have as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. Stewart has been providing smile makeovers for dental clients in the Grand Rapids, Comstock Park and Rockford MI areas since 1974. Tooth whitening is often the most affordable cosmetic dental procedure. Tooth bleaching quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Grand Rapids cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete dental crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Stewart & Hull. Schedule a cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 616-827-7019. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

(Note that the celebrities pictured above are not affiliated with our site; they just have great smiles!)
