What Does Your Dentist Need To Know?

porcelain veneers price Grand Rapids

For the best possible dental health, you should see us at Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park twice a year for a cleaning and exam. It’s our chance to make sure you’re brushing and flossing properly, and your chance to discuss any dental health concerns you may have.

During the checkup we look for any new cavities that may have appeared since your last visit. We might take X-rays, although this is not done at every visit. We’ll examine your gums, too, for any signs of gum disease.

Remember: if the eyes are the window to the soul, then your mouth is a window into your general health. Poor dental health has been linked to various diseases and conditions, such as heart disease, premature birth and low birth weight, and diabetes.

At Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, the dental health of each patient is our primary focus every single day. People from Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI come to us for family and cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign clear braces, and much more.

Implant Dentures: Strength and Stability

Implant dentures Comstock ParkDentures that rest on the gums have been the standard in tooth replacement for many generations. But a change is underway, and they are no longer the only option. At Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, we offer dentures supported by dental implants.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are inserted into your jaw, where they fuse with the bone. One implant can support one artificial tooth. Multiple implants can support a full dental arch.

Implant-supported dentures have many benefits:

  • Stability. They don’t move around in your mouth.
  • Like a New Root. Dental implants promote healthy bone by mimicing a tooth root.
  • Bone Retention. The implant prevents bone recession and stimulates blood circulation.
  • Comfort. No gum irritation.
  • Appearance. Get your smile back!

Implant-supported dentures from Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park can transform your life. We have placed them in patients from Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI, who also come to us for Invisalign clear braces and complete family and cosmetic dentistry. Call our office to schedule an appointment today!

Implants Prevent Denture-Related Health Problems

tooth implants Comstock ParkAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 25% of adults over 65 have no remaining teeth. Many people with missing teeth choose conventional dentures. But there is a better, state-of-the-art alternative at Eric Hull DDS in Comstock Park.

PROBLEMS WITH DENTURES

Conventional dentures usually fit properly at first. But the mouth changes as you age and normal wear and tear takes its toll. Eventually, the dentures will need to be relined or replaced. In addition:

  • Ill-fitting dentures can aggravate gums and cause inflammation. Inflammation can result in additional health issues.
  • Dentures can change a person’s bite, which impacts the (jaw) joint. This, in turn, can lead to pain in the face, neck, and head.
  • Dentures trap food debris. This can result in gum disease.
  • Missing teeth eventually result in bone loss. When the jaw no longer has tooth roots, it shrinks and recedes.
  • With dental implants you can avoid these issues.

Dental implants are titanium posts inserted into your jaw. Once the post fuses with the bone, it provides a solid base of support, much like a natural tooth root. One implant can support one artificial tooth, and several can support dentures.

Implant-supported dentures from Eric Hull DDS in Comstock Park may be the best investment you ever make. We have placed them in patients from Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI. People also come to us for Invisalign clear braces, and our full range of general and cosmetic dentistry services. Call today!

Guide To Healthy Tooth Enamel

Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry Guide To Healthy Tooth Enamel

Tooth enamel is one of the strongest substances in the body, but it is neither indestructible nor renewable. It’s important to brush and floss daily, and have regular checkups at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park.

We recommend using a toothbrush with soft bristles. Use it after every meal to gently clean away food particles. It is best to brush right after eating. The sooner you remove food debris from your teeth, the better.

Flossing regularly is also essential to keep gums healthy. Whether the food is on tooth surfaces or hidden in between, it is not doing your enamel any good.

As for checkups, an average of about two per year is best. In some cases we’ll want to see a patient more often.

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park we want each patient to enjoy excellent dental health. People from Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI come to our practice for general and cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign clear braces, and much more. Please call our office to schedule an appointment today!

Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry Cosmetic Dentistry For Drop-Dead Gorgeous Smiles

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, we use cosmetic dentistry to create beautiful smiles for our patients. And we do it every day!

While creating beautiful smiles is our goal with any cosmetic dentistry procedure, it isn’t a simple process. The overall objective is to ensure the health and function of our patients’ smiles, along with their appearance.

Our teeth are subjected to a lot of wear and tear, and even the brightest smiles can become dull over the years. We offer in-office Zoom teeth whitening, which takes about two hours, and a professional-strength, take-home whitening kit that can whiten your smile in as little as two weeks.

If your teeth have unsightly chips or cracks, cosmetic dentistry can address them with porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin shells of medical-grade porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth to produce a smile your friends will envy.

These and other cosmetic dentistry procedures can all be drawn together into a smile makeover that leaves you with a brilliant, dazzling smile. A smile makeover brings out your very best!

The Many Benefits of Clear Braces

Categories: Invisalign

Invisalign clear braces like those available at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park have transformed the way we can straighten teeth. If you’re interested in braces that are more comfortable and manageable than conventional braces, give us a call.

Unlike conventional braces, clear braces are made of a clear synthetic material. Technically they aren’t even called braces, they are called aligners. A series of aligners are worn over a period of months. Each new aligner slightly changes the pressure on your teeth to bring them into proper alignment.

Aligners have a number of advantages over metal braces:

  • Nearly undetectable. Since they’re clear, people standing just a few feet away may not know you’re wearing them.
  • Removeable. You can pop your aligner out at mealtime, and to brush and floss.
  • Comfortable. Metal braces have drawbacks like abrasions inside the cheeks and getting food caught in the brackets when you eat. Clear braces? Not an issue.

Best of all, Invisalign clear braces from Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park deliver great results! Patients throughout Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI also come to our practice for dental implantscomplete cosmetic dentistry, and much more.
