Guide To Healthy Tooth Enamel

Categories: Dental health, Family Dentistry, General Dentistry

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!

To find out what cosmetic dentistry from Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park can do for you, call our office to schedule an appointment. People throughout Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI also come to us for Invisalign clear braces, dental implants, complete family dentistry, and much more.

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 implants, complete cosmetic dentistry, and much more.

Are Dental Implants Really Like Natural Teeth?

Categories: Dental Implants, Restorative dentistry

Do dental implants really function like natural teeth? That question comes up at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, as patients weigh their tooth replacement options.

Dental implants may sound too good to be true, but they really do look and function like natural teeth.

We’ll use this space to describe exactly what dental implants are. First of all, a clarification: a dental implant is not, strictly speaking, a replacement tooth. An implant is really a titanium post that we insert into the jaw; the post is a support for the artificial tooth.

Implants are typically made of titanium, which is fully compatible with human bone. This is one of the great things about them: they completely fuse with the bone and become a part of the body. Cases of rejection are rare.

The implant acts as a substitute for the tooth root that was lost along with the natural tooth. One implant can support one artificial tooth, and several can support a bridge or full dental arch.

The process, on average, takes about six months, start-to-finish. Once it’s fully healed most patients can’t tell the difference between the implant and a natural tooth. They’ve got full biting and chewing power, and teeth that look as real as they function.

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park we offer single tooth dental implants and implant-supported bridges and dentures. Patients throughout Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI are enjoying their benefits. They also come to our practice for clear braces from Invisalign, complete cosmetic dentistry, and much more. Schedule your next checkup with us today!

When It’s Better Not To Brush

Categories: Dental health, General Dentistry

enamel erosion Grand Rapids

This message from Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park is about tooth enamel. Though thin and partially translucent, tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body and has the critical job of protecting teeth from constant use and from the assault of chemicals in food and drink.

Enamel also safeguards tooth nerves from hot and cold food and beverages. That’s why enamel loss often causes tooth sensitivity.

Cuts heal. Bruises fade. Broken bones mend. The body’s ability to heal itself is truly extraordinary. But tooth enamel is different. When it’s gone, it’s gone. We encourage our patients to shield their tooth enamel for a lifetime of dental health.

This may seem counterintuitive, but sometimes it is better NOT to brush immediately after eating. Specifically, after eating acidic items. The acid weakens the enamel which can be further weakened by brushing. Waiting 60 minutes will allow the acid to dilute. Rinsing immediately after eating acidic foods is also helpful, because it washes away some food particles and speeds up the dilution of the acid.

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park the dental health of each patient is important to us. Find out why people from Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI come to us for clear braces from Invisalign, complete cosmetic dentistry, and much more.

Straight Teeth, No Metal

Categories: Invisalign, Orthodontic Treatment

General Dentist in Comstock Park, MIWould you like a more perfect smile, one with straight white teeth? Of course you would! With Invisalign clear braces from Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, you can straighten your teeth without having to put up with metal wires and brackets.

Clear braces have transformed the way we straighten teeth. Technically known as aligners, they look like an athlete’s mouthguard.  A series of aligners are worn that increase pressure on your teeth to gradually bring them into proper alignment.

  • Removeable. Clear braces are removed at mealtimes and to brush and floss your teeth. For best results, they should be worn 22 hours a day, including overnight.
  • Virtually undetectable. They are clear and subtle – so subtle, that people just a few feet away from you may not realize you’re wearing them.
