Want to Fill Those Gaps in Your Smile?

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Veneers, Missing Teeth

Do you have gaps in your smile? Many U.S. adults are missing one or more teeth. You probably already know that missing teeth detract from an attractive smile. You may be self-conscious about your smile. Do you cover your mouth when you laugh? Perhaps you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you. Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry can help you sure up your smile.

You Don’t Have to Live With Missing Teeth

That’s no way to live. We provide multiple ways to maintain (or regain) your ability to eat, drink, speak, laugh, and smile in selfies.

We help hundreds of patients restore missing teeth. If you are interested in tooth restoration (actually, total smile restoration), we invite you to schedule a consultation.

Your consultation will include a treatment plan to restore missing teeth, an outline of the cost of required care, and a schedule for completing the services.

Dr. Eric Hull creates stunning smiles

If you have missing teeth, Dr. Eric Hull has solutions.

Dr. Hull has built a dental practice based on expertise, experience, and a patient-focused philosophy of care.

There have never been as many options for tooth restoration.

Dental Bridge

A dental bridge is used where a tooth is missing. Aptly named, it “bridges” a gap between teeth. It is a restoration with a false tooth (or teeth) attached to the surrounding teeth. Dental bridges have been used successfully by generations of dental patients who have lost teeth for various reasons.

A Tooth Implant Replaces the Root Also

An implant consists of an artificial tooth PLUS an artificial root (usually biocompatible titanium). A dental implant is a more extensive replacement for a missing tooth.

With local anesthesia, your dentist anchors the artificial root into the jawbone. In the following months, it integrates and meshes with the jaw bone tissue.

There are three components of a dental implant: the artificial root or post, the connecting abutment, and the final crown or denture. An implant is often the optimal restoration as it offers beauty, strength, and natural function. In addition, it offers something many patients don’t realize is important: protection from bone recession that often transpires at the site of a missing tooth.

Traditional and Implant Supported Dentures

Most people have heard of dentures: 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 extracted and a custome denture created. Modern dentistry offers a myriad of custom dental implant-denture combinations to restore missing teeth.

Dental Veneers

If you still have your teeth but are not satisfied with them, a dental veneer might be a great solution that preserves the healthy tooth structure. Beautiful porcelain veneers can remedy uneven color, oddly sized, or slightly misshapen teeth.

A veneer is a thin shell that your dentist bonds to the front of the teeth. In other words, a dental veneer can enhance unsightly, but structurally sound teeth.

A Beautiful Smile is Timeless

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Veneers, Teeth Whitening

Your Smile Doesn’t Have to Show Your Age in Comstock ParkEvery stage of life has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, in our golden years, we may enjoy traveling, more free time, and grandchildren. However, most Comstock Park retirees do not welcome wrinkles, limited mobility, or dental dilemmas.

Fortunately, your smile can be healthy and attractive throughout your life. With cosmetic and restorative dentistry, you can have a youthful smile at any age.

Regain Your Youthful Smile

Even if your teeth are showing visible signs of wear, we can help. Do you have any of the following problems?

  • Enamel loss
  • Staining
  • Chips
  • Missing teeth
  • Broken dental work
  • Gum recession
  • Old amalgam fillings

At Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, we provide a full array of dental services including implant dentistry restorative dentistry, and porcelain veneers.

Could Your Smile Benefit From Adult Braces?

Would you like to straighten your teeth? Modern braces can correct all types of tooth alignment problems. Overbite? Gap between your two front teeth? Crowded teeth?

Now, individuals of any age can have an exceptional smile that looks as young as they feel. Let’s consider some orthodontic options.

Self-ligating Braces

Traditional braces have brackets and an archwire. The brackets are mounted to the teeth and the archwire is attached to the brackets. With self-ligating braces, the archwire is connected to the brackets with a spring clip. This replaces the plastic color band necessary with standard metal braces.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear aligners instead of metal or ceramic brackets. With Invisalign aligners, you switch aligners every couple of weeks as your teeth gently shift into place.

How can straightening teeth improve your life?

We all know that a pleasing smile improves one’s appearance. Everyone wants to look better. However, the benefits aren’t purely aesthetic.

  • Straight teeth can prohibit decay
  • If teeth are aligned effectively, you are less likely to snore
  • Decreases the risk of gum disease,
  • Straightening teeth can help you eat a healthier diet

Regardless of your age, it is not too late to upgrade your smile–even if you have some missing teeth. Braces combined with tooth implants can transform a smile.

If you haven’t seen a dentist in a while, you will be interested to learn about the latest cosmetic dentistry treatments. Many procedures can be completed in one visit to our Comstock Park dental office. We look forward to meeting you!

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.

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?

Categories: Aesthetic dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Veneers, Teeth Whitening

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.
