At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we have been creating spectacular smiles at our cosmetic dental practice since 1974.

More Than Just a Smile

Working in dentistry is more than just a job. We make a commitment to help our patients find satisfaction with their own personal appearance because we care about their well being. Likewise, smile makeovers consist of more than just straight, white, beautiful teeth. Our patients report that their new smile affects many areas of their life. Some have noticed increased productivity in their profession. Others enjoy a richer social life because they are now able to smile, laugh, and eat without being self-conscious. Many patients enjoy the fact that their new youthful smile has given them greater confidence and ambition in life.

Our Expertise is Your Satisfaction

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we provide the most advanced cosmetic dental procedures available including professional teeth whitening, dental crowns and bridges, porcelain veneers, Invisalign Orthodontics, and dental bonding. If you need a wide variety of cosmetic dental services, don’t hesitate to schedule a complimentary consultation. Furthermore, we also fill cavities with tooth-colored fillings that blend perfectly with your natural teeth. Are you only interested in a cleaning? Our dental team performs extremely thorough deep cleanings for our patients whose beautiful smiles need nothing else.

Proper nutrition can benefit you in a number of ways; increased energy, improved immune system, glowing skin, mental clarity, and a lower risk of heart disease. How often, however, do you look at how your diet influences your oral health?

Impact on Oral Health

Your diet can impact your risk of cavities, enamel health, and gum condition. Healthy foods provide an environment that can prevent inflammation and infection. Vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts are the prime choices for oral health. Calcium-fortified beverages, milk, and other dairy products provide vitamins, minerals, and calcium that aids in keeping teeth, bones, and gums healthy. Eating crispy fruits and vegetables, such as apples and celery, will help clean your teeth and gums.

Be sure to brush after each meal and before bed. Moreover, remember to floss or use a water irrigating method to dislodge food particles trapped in spaces. By eating well, brushing properly, flossing regularly, and avoiding foods that stick to your teeth, you can have a beautiful smile for life.

What comes to mind when you hear the term “healthy living?” A dinner plate with a grilled chicken breast and steamed broccoli? The sound of your feet rhythmically hitting the ground on your favorite jogging path? A cholesterol test from your doctor indicating that your arteries are in top shape? If you also pictured a white, healthy smile or a dental x-ray showing no tooth decay, then you are on the right track

Importance of Dental Health

At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we encourage everyone with a smile to include oral health in their definition of healthy living. When done properly and consistently, brushing and flossing are a vital component of maintaining everyday oral hygiene. Furthermore, brushing should be done at least twice a day. We recommend a soft-bristled toothbrush to preserve your gums. Brush your teeth in small, circular motions for 2-3 minutes and make sure you reach all the surfaces. Flossing should be done at least once a day and is necessary for reaching the areas where a toothbrush cannot. A wide variety of floss can be found at stores, so experiment until you find one you like.

Scheduling an Appointment

At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we are devoted to helping each of our patients benefit from positive oral health. We help all of our patients avoid tooth problems that can compromise their all-around health. We offer a large variety of dental services that improve the aesthetics of your smile. Ask us about dental crowns, porcelain veneers, dental implants, Invisalign clear braces, tooth-colored fillings, or Zoom same-day teeth whitening.

If your smile could use some brightening, what are you waiting for? Professional teeth whitening can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.

Sets of teeth are not equal, and not every smile is going to respond the same to bleaching. The degree of whiteness attained, and the treatment time necessary, depends on the types of stains being treated.

1. Surface or extrinsic stains are the most accessible and easiest to remove. They are caused by the usual suspects: coffee, tea, wine, cola, smoking, and the natural aging process.
2. Intrinsic stains can be lightened, but it may take a bit longer. These stains form from the inside out, but are visible through the enamel. They can be caused by trauma, tetracycline antibiotics, infection, or excessive fluoride use in childhood before the enamel is fully formed.
3. Combination: Some of our dental patients have both extrinsic and intrinsic staining. As we age, our teeth change, regardless of how well we take care of them. Enamel thins, while the dentin underneath fades and yellows. At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we offer our patients the option of Zoom! Whitening or home whitening. The Zoom! process is done in our office, and you’ll see whiter teeth in a a couple of hours. The home whitening is done at your convenience and typically takes 2-3 weeks. It is best to trust teeth whitening treatment to an experienced dentist.

We also provide implant dentistry, porcelain veneers, and of course, general and family dentistry. Our friendly team is ready to serve you at our warm and inviting Comstock Park office.

Upgrade your face value by brightening your smile!

Hello, we are Dr. Bruce Stewart and Dr. Eric Hull of Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park. We are enthusiastic about enhancing smiles through cosmetic dentistry. Few physical improvements have such a meaningful effect on attractiveness and self-confidence as a smile makeover. Excellent oral health and an attractive smile contribute to overall physical health and a high quality of life.

If you have ever wondered how cosmetic dentistry could change your life, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation so we can talk about it.

• Your goals for how you want your smile to look and feel after the makeover.
• The state of your oral health.
• The individual characteristics of your teeth and gums that you wish to fix.
• Which specific treatments are recommended.
• A detailed explanation of each necessary treatment (e.g. porcelain veneers, dental crowns, inlays/onlays, gum contouring, crown lengthening, dental implants, braces, or teeth whitening).

If you feel that you have an unattractive smile, you probably don’t smile very often. Perhaps you make a calculated effort to avoid smiling in social and professional settings.

Do you think frequent smiling has a dramatic effect on your life? You bet it does.

In addition to simply making us happier, smiling benefits our quality of life in a host of ways.

1.  Look Younger and More Attractive

It doesn’t take a scientific study to verify this fact. No matter your age, you always look better with a smile on your face.

2. Smiling Minimizes Stress

When you smile, your brain releases feel-good chemicals that decrease your stress level.

3. Smiling Bolsters Your Confidence

Who doesn’t want to enjoy more self-assurance?

4. Smile For Success

Researchers have established several ways smiling can upgrade the chance of a positive outcome in personal and professional pursuits. These benefits stem from the fact that smiling affects your behavior as well as the behavior of the men and women with whom you interact.

How would your life improve if you loved your smile?

Even small cosmetic changes can yield dramatic improvements in the attractiveness of your smile. At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we offer everything from teeth whitening to beautiful porcelain veneers to complete smile transformations. Let’s discuss the possibilities for your smile. Call 616-784-2377 today to schedule a complimentary cosmetic dental consultation.

Dental health and a stunning smile depend on much more than simply brushing regularly. In today’s Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry post, we present a quick refresher course on critical lifestyle practices that affect oral health. You are probably familiar with most of these recommendations, but it is helpful to get a reminder once in a while. We encourage all of our patients to maintain a lifestyle that promotes dental health as well as overall physical health. After all, the two are inseparable.

DO:

Eat a nutritious diet.
Eat calcium-rich dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt to neutralize acids that attack enamel.
Brush gently but meticulously at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
Make sure you clean thoroughly between teeth with dental floss or interdental cleaners such as flossing picks.
Get your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year.
Have a dental examination twice yearly with Dr. Stewart or Dr. Hull in Comstock Park.

DON’T:

Eat sugar frequently. Sugar triggers the production of detrimental cavity-causing acids that weaken enamel.
Snack throughout the day. This speeds up plaque production and subjects the teeth to constant bombardment with acids.
Chew on ice.
Use your teeth as tools. Ever.
Get oral piercings.
Ignore tooth pain or sensitivity.

If you have oral pain or haven’t visited a dentist in a while, call Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 616-784-2377 to schedule an appointment. Tooth problems get worse over time – especially if there is decay or gum disease.

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we serve the Comstock Park area with exceptional dental care including general and cosmetic dentistry. Ask us about implant dentistry, restorative dentistry, porcelain veneers and Zoom! teeth whitening.

Many health-conscious individuals in the Rockford, MI area exercise regularly, and many turn to sports drinks for hydration.

While it’s true that they help maintain electrolyte levels in the body (and pose fewer health risks than energy drinks), their acidity can erode tooth enamel. And when tooth enamel erodes, those pearly whites are more susceptible to staining, discoloration, and decay.

Nobody wants stained teeth, so next time you’re at the gym, try substituting water for sports drinks.

If you have already experienced staining and tooth discoloration and would like to know more about porcelain veneers and teeth whitening in Comstock Park, give Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry a call at 616-784-2377.
