Missing Teeth: A Common But Serious Problem

Categories: Dental Implants

11

It might surprise many people to know that having missing teeth as an adult in the United States is not all that uncommon. Unfortunately, if you are missing one or more teeth, trouble chewing is just one of your problems. If missing teeth go untreated, your remaining teeth can shift, your bite change, and you can soon find that you are going to be missing even more teeth. It’s important to know that one missing tooth often leads to more missing teeth.

A dental implant is hands-down the best way to replace a missing tooth or teeth, and there are a number of reasons for this. Dental implants are generally the best permanent tooth replacement for missing teeth. Not only do they look natural, but they will make it easier to chew and eat. If you are considering dental implants be sure to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry to find out whether dental implants might be right for you.

During your consultation, you can get straightforward advice about how dental implants might be able to restore your smile. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull in Comstock Park can provide patients in the Belmont, Cedar Springs, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker, and Rockford, MI, areas information about dental implants. Call to set up your complimentary consultation today: 616-784-2377

Professional Teeth Whitening In Comstock Park

Categories: Teeth Whitening

teeth whitening Comstock Park

Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink continually such as colored sodas, coffee and red wine contribute to the staining. Most of us are aware that smoking is not only bad for your lungs; it is an enemy to beautiful teeth. A brilliant smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional whitening of teeth can dramatically improve your overall appearance and give you a boost in self-confidence.

If you are considering having your teeth whitened, you must first decide which method to use. At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our clients. To schedule a free consultation to talk about teeth whitening or any other dental procedure, please call 616-784-2377.

At-home whitening treatments usually consist of trays filled with professional whitening solution. It takes approximately 7-14 days to achieve 3-6 shades lighter.  Tooth whitening toothpaste is not only abrasive but it may be damaging to the enamel surface.  Whitening toothpaste may lighten superficial stains but often provides little or no change in appearance of teeth.

Professional teeth whitening procedures performed by a dental professional achieve dramatic results that last far longer than other treatments.

If you have crowns, porcelain veneers or bonding, it is important to talk to your dentist before choosing a whitening method.

Tooth Whitening: What The ADA Has To Say

Categories: Teeth Whitening

teeth whitening Comstock ParkWhen a cosmetic dentistry procedure becomes popular in the Belmont,  Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI, areas, it’s natural to want to experience the dramatic results for yourself. However, responsible dental patients should know what the American Dental Association has to say regarding common cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening.

The ADA advises patients to meet with their dentist before starting any bleaching regimen. An oral examination that is in-depth will help your dentist to know if tooth whitening is for you. This is especially vital when you have dark stains on your teeth or multiple crowns and/or fillings.

Once you have agreed on a tooth whitening technique, your dentist can supervise your use of whichever bleaching agent you have chosen. This will help you to be sure that the frequency of use of your teeth whitener is never too high.

Or, you and your dentist may choose to have your teeth whitened in the office. Zoom in-office teeth whitening takes much less time than at-home whitening.

Also, if you are shopping for whitening tooth products at your favorite Grand Rapids, Walker, or Sparta drugstore, be sure to look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

Along with tooth whitening, there are many other innovative cosmetic dentistry procedures your dentist can recommend, which will help you achieve the dazzling smile you want. These include dental implants, bonding,veneers,  and more!

We are dedicated to oral health and happy patients. We help our cosmetic dental patients love their smile! If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at 616-784-2377. A member of the friendly and thorough staff here at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry would love to set up an appointment for you.

Better Tooth Restoration With Dental Implants

Categories: Dental Implants

dental implants Comstock Park

Tooth loss is not an uncommon problem, and if you are one of the many Comstock Park denture wearers, you know that dentures are not necessarily the best solution for those who are missing teeth.

Even though the dentures of today are dramatically different from those of many years ago, many denture wearers still report having issues with them. Some of the problems with dentures include slipping, gum irritation, trouble eating and talking, bone loss, and inability to taste food because the palate is covered. Ask any denture wearer, and he or she will likely tell you that dentures do not feel and function like natural teeth.

Obviously, by practicing good oral hygiene and going in for regular dental checkups, you might be able to avoid losing your teeth. But the truth is that other factors can make the need for dental replacements a necessity.

There is still good news. Modern dental implant technology offers a better tooth restoration solution. If you have traditional dentures and are not happy with them, you might consider implant anchored dentures. These will dramatically change your life and your chewing ability will also improve.

Before you consider having another denture adjustment, ask Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull about the possibility of dental implants. Come see us at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry at 769 York Creek Dr NW in Comstock Park, 49321 for more information about dental implants.

Picking Your Comstock Park Cosmetic Dentist

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

cosmetic dentistry Grand Rapids

Would you go to a plumber to have your house painted? The answer is of course not. You should use the same line of thought when it comes to needing cosmetic dentistry. Say you have a tooth in the front of your mouth that is chipped; it’s important that you choose the right cosmetic dentist so the quality of your smile is not compromised.

Here are some considerations to keep in mind when you need a cosmetic dentist. These also underscore why it’s so important you choose an experienced cosmetic dentist.

Shading: It’s important to select the right color of porcelain veneer or dental crown to make sure that it matches the rest of the teeth—especially when it is in the front of your mouth. Ultimately, it is the dentist’s responsibility to get it right. This is why it is important to pick an office with abundant experience in cosmetic dentistry.

Staining: There are times when simple teeth bleaching will not take away the stains in your teeth. This can sometimes require more extensive work with a combination of teeth whitening and dental veneers. A good cosmetic dentist can make a recommendation as to the best treatment in your situation.

Laboratory: It’s important to choose an office that does not try to cut costs with lower laboratory fees. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull work very closely with a laboratory that produces high-quality porcelain to give you a natural appearance.

Whatever the concern you may have with your mouth, there is one universal consensus: It should look natural when it is finished. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull are passionate about helping our patients enjoy healthy mouths and beautiful smiles. If you would like to know more about improving your smile in the Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker or Rockford, MI area, give us a call at 616-784-2377.

Using Nature As Our Guide At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry In Comstock Park

Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull at Stewart of Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry perform complete smile re-designs that turn ordinary teeth (or even teeth with significant problems) into stunning smiles. If you have been considering a smile makeover, you probably want to know if you will still look like yourself.

The answer is “Yes! Only  better!” One of the reasons for this is because Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull use nature as a guide – nature at its best – when improving smiles. It is vital to bring multiple components into harmony when designing a fantastic smile makeover. Here are a few:

  • Tooth Shape – includes proportion and alignment
  • Tooth Size – this also includes the unique dimensions of the spaces between the teeth
  • Tooth Color – hue, value, intensity, and color variations between teeth
  • Tooth Bite – how upper and lower teeth fit together
  • Gumline – shape and color
  • Face Shape and Bone Structure
  • Lips – color, shape, size
  • Age
  • Gender

This list is not comprehensive, but gives you an idea of the complexity of what is considered. Though advanced cosmetic dentistry is multifaceted, it follows the esthetic principles expressed in naturally beautiful smiles.

You don’t have to worry about midlines and microesthetics because we are enthusiastic about the details. We invite you to schedule a complimentary smile design consultation to speak with Dr. Stewart or Dr. Hull about your current smile and the unforgettable smile you desire.

We can whiten, brighten, and straighten your smile!
