What Can Dental Veneers Do For Your Smile?

Categories: Dental Crowns, Dental health, Dental Veneers

what is a dental veneer? Comstock Park

Many individuals are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth. It could be a chip or crack. Perhaps they have yellowed over the years.

You Don’t Have to Live With Chips and Cracks

You don’t have to live with shortcomings in your smile. In today’s post, we discuss one of these solutions: dental veneers. At Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we provide veneers for myriad tooth dilemmas.

In a perfect world, each of your priceless teeth would stay healthy, strong, and sparkling white from childhood to your golden years. However, our teeth work hard for us and take some bumps along the way.

Most Michigan men and women will need to restore a tooth at some point. And if you only need one tooth restored, you’re fortunate. Some men and women need a restoration every few years.

And there are also individuals whose teeth are healthy, but they were never attractive to begin with.

What are Dental Veneers?

Traditional veneers come in the form of tooth colored “shells” that are fitted to the teeth. Each veneer is customized to one individual tooth and is affixed permanently to the front. Once placed, it covers the entire visible portion of the tooth.

A veneer can be used when the underlying tooth is structurally sound and free of cavities. A beautiful veneer can cover a chip or crack or fix the alignment of a tooth that appears slightly off kilter as compared to surrounding teeth.

Veneers are Custom-Matched to Your Teeth

Veneers are fabricated with dental porcelain or composite resin. Many men and women find veneers appealing because they can create a whiter smile. A veneer can also protect a tooth from damage.

The latest veneers are thinner and stronger than ever. Your dentist only has to remove a minuscule bit of tooth structure to allow for the thickness of the veneer.

An Attractive Smile Increases Your Confidence

Plenty of men and women have chipped or stained teeth. When it comes to a professional setting, appearances and first impressions are important, and that starts with a smile.

Veneers can create a truly dazzling smile. That is why they are becoming very popular amongst young professionals especially those who have teeth that have darkened or have a superficial crack or small chip.

If you want to be more self-confident in professional and social settings, make your smile a priority.

What are the Benefits of Veneers?

Let’s recap the advantages of dental veneers:

  • They do not stain easily
  • They are custom made to fit the tooth
  • A veneer can correct a misshapen tooth
  • They can dramatically enhance your smile
  • They preserve more healthy tooth structure as compared to dental crowns
  • A veneer can safeguard the front of the tooth from a chip or crack

If you are interested in veneers or another type of cosmetic dental procedure, the team at Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry can help.

Comstock Park cosmetic dentistry

We can help you preserve (or regain) your ability to eat, drink, speak, laugh, and smile with confidence!

Dental Veneers

If you still have your teeth, but are not happy with them, these might be the best answer. Stunning veneers offer an affordable approach to cosmetic adjustments – uneven color, size, or shape. These are very thin shells bonded to the front of the teeth.

Dental Implant

An implant is a tooth replacement that includes an artificial tooth PLUS an artificial root. With local anesthesia, the artificial root is inserted into the jaw bone where it integrates with the bone. There are three parts to a dental implant: the artificial root, the connecting abutment, and the final crown, partial or denture.

A dental implant is often the best restoration as it offers beauty, strength, natural function, and protection from bone recession that often occurs at the site of a missing tooth.

Dentures/Partials

Most Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Rockford, Sparta and Walker residents have heard of dentures and partials: a plate holding artificial teeth that can be removed for cleaning. Dentures/partials are customized and can contain varying numbers of teeth. Sometimes the entire set of upper and lower teeth have to be pulled and a denture created. Modern dentistry offers a myriad of custom dental implant-denture combinations to restore missing teeth.

There is no need to miss out on an attractive smile. Schedule your consultation with us at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry today by call us at 616-784-2377 . We would be honored to provide you with advanced dentistry in the Comstock, Michigan area.

Have you lost teeth recently? It’s a lot different than when you lost your baby teeth way back in the day. Unfortunately, these don’t grow back and a gap-toothed smile doesn’t look as adorable as it did when you were in elementary school. If you have had teeth extracted or if your teeth are compromised by staining, decay, chipping, or brittle aging, then it’s time to visit Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry.

When it comes to the prospect of losing your adult teeth, the preference is always to save your natural teeth. If this is not viable, we offer several ways to maintain your ability to eat, drink, speak, laugh, and smile with confidence.

Dental Veneers
If you still have your teeth but are not satisfied with them, these might be your answer. Stunning porcelain veneers offer a reasonably-priced approach to cosmetic adjustments—uneven color, size, or shape. These are very thin shells bonded to the front of the teeth. They improve unattractive, but structurally sound teeth.

Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is used where a tooth is missing. It “bridges” a gap between teeth. It is a restoration with a false tooth attached to the surrounding teeth. Dental bridges have been used successfully for decades.

Dental Implant
A dental implant is a more extensive replacement for a missing tooth. An implant consists of an artificial tooth plus an artificial root. With local anesthesia, the artificial root is actually inserted into the jaw bone where it integrates with the bone tissue. An implant is often the prime restoration as it offers beauty, strength, natural function, and protection from bone recession that often occurs at the site of a missing tooth.

Dentures
A denture is a plate holding artificial teeth that can be removed by the wearer. These are custom-made and can contain varying numbers of teeth. Sometimes the entire set of upper and lower teeth have to be pulled and a denture created. Modern dentistry offers a myriad of custom dental implant-denture combinations to restore missing teeth.

Schedule your initial consultation at 616-784-2377 or visit us at 769 York Creek Dr NW in Comstock Park, Michigan We are perfectly situated for our neighbors throughout the Grand Rapids area.

What A Difference A Day Makes

Categories: Aesthetic dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Veneers

Same Day Smile Makeovers At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry In Comstock Park Have you ever wished your cosmetic dentist could glue new pearly white covers on your existing teeth as quick and easy as you paint a wall in your house? Guess what? With porcelain veneers, it’s possible. Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin tooth-shaped fronts that are permanently affixed to your natural teeth. At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, veneers are used alone and in combination with other cosmetic dental procedures in complete smile makeovers.

Do veneers look like natural teeth?
Skilled dental lab artists create porcelain veneers with the color, reflective properties, and translucency of natural teeth: perfect natural teeth, that is. In addition, porcelain veneers can be constructed in any size or shape.

Are veneers strong?
Porcelain veneers are fabricated out of extremely durable material. If you have questions about whether a veneer or dental crown is the best choice for you, talk to our team. We will consider the size and condition of the tooth and its position in your mouth.

How long do veneers last?
Some smile makeover patients have veneers they received over 15 years ago and they still look great! If properly cared for, veneers can last as long as dental crowns. For questions about the cost of porcelain veneers or cosmetic dentistry, please call our office to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Dental Veneers: Do You Need Help with Tetracycline Stains?

Help For Tetracycline And Fluoride Stains dental veneers

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, our mission is making the smiles of our dental patients bright and beautiful. Today, we are going to talk about ways to enhance your beautiful smile with teeth whitening.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Maybe as a teenager, you were prescribed tetracycline to combat acne but have now been left with discolored teeth. If you are like many Comstock Park adults, you have sipped on dark beverages such as coffee, soda, and wine over the years – and your teeth are showing the effects. Call us today at 616-784-2377 to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Recommended Treatments

One of the options we recommend at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry for treating discolored teeth is tooth whitening. This can be done in the office in as little as two hours with Zoom whitening or at your convenience with our at-home whitening system.  If your teeth are discolored from tetracycline then you would benefit from dental veneers, sometimes called porcelain laminates. Dental veneers not only restore discolored teeth, but they can cover worn, chipped, and cracked teeth.

This is done by placing a thin composite of porcelain over the damaged tooth or teeth leaving a gorgeous, white, flawless smile. At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we feel that dental veneers are the least invasive form of cosmetic dentistry, yet the results are stunning. The smiles of our happy patients after receiving dental veneers are dazzling.

Are You Ready for an Appointment?

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we also offer teeth whitening, dental implants, and Invisalign invisible braces in Comstock Park. Come to see why the patients of Comstock Park have been improving their smiles at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry since 1974. We look forward to hearing from you.
