Thanks to advancements in cosmetic dentistry, achieving that radiant smile you’ve always dreamed of is more accessible than ever. Whether you’re looking to fix minor imperfections or completely transform your look, cosmetic dentistry offers solutions designed to enhance the beauty of your smile.

At Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, MI, Dr. Eric Hull and his expert team are passionate about helping patients create smiles that leave a lasting impression. Cosmetic dentistry can help elevate your confidence and transform your smile.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry combines science and art to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. While these procedures are often elective, many of them also provide restorative benefits, such as improving functionality or preventing long-term dental issues. Procedures range from subtle changes, like teeth whitening, to dramatic transformations like veneers or orthodontic treatments.

Key Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

At Dr. Eric Hull’s practice, a variety of cosmetic dental treatments are available to suit your needs, lifestyle, and goals. Here’s an overview of the most popular options:

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments can correct stains and discoloration from coffee, wine, or even aging. This quick, non-invasive procedure can make your teeth several shades brighter, giving you a dazzling smile that enhances your overall look.

Porcelain Veneers

Small chips, gaps, or uneven teeth? Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells custom-designed to fit over your natural teeth, creating a smooth, flawless smile. They are durable, stain-resistant, and tailored to match your desired shade and shape for a truly natural aesthetic.

Dental Bonding

For minor corrections like cracks, chips, or gaps, dental bonding can work wonders. A tooth-colored resin is applied to the affected area and shaped to perfection, restoring your tooth for a seamless finish.

Gum Contouring

Sometimes, the beauty of your smile is hidden beneath excessive gum tissue. Gum contouring helps create a better balance between your gums and teeth, revealing more of your pearly whites for a proportional and more attractive smile.

Clear Aligners

Crooked or misaligned teeth no longer require metal braces. Clear aligners, like Invisalign, provide a discreet way to achieve straighter teeth, giving you confidence throughout the process.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry does more than enhance your appearance. Its impact runs deeper than surface level, offering benefits like:

  • Boosted Confidence: A beautiful smile can make you feel more self-assured in social and professional situations.
  • Improved Oral Health: Many cosmetic treatments also promote better oral hygiene and long-term dental health.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Modern cosmetic techniques are durable, offering results that can last for years with proper care.

Why Choose Dr. Eric Hull?

Choosing the right dentist is crucial in your cosmetic dentistry journey. At Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, Dr. Eric Hull combines years of experience, advanced techniques, and a passion for artistry to deliver results that exceed expectations. Located in Comstock Park, MI, Dr. Hull’s patient-focused approach ensures every smile is as unique as the person wearing it.

Health Habits To Keep You Smiling

Categories: Dental health, Dental hygiene, General Dentistry

In today’s post from Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we will focus on important behaviors that affect oral health. Of course, effective brushing and flossing are two important habits for healthy teeth, but there are many more things we can do to maintain a healthy smile.

Diet Do’s

  • Do eat a nutritious diet with a variety of foods. This is required for overall physical health and a strong immune system.
  • Do enjoy calcium-rich dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt to neutralize acids that are harmful to enamel.

Diet Don’ts

  • Don’t eat sugary foods. Sugar leads to the production of detrimental cavity-causing acids that weaken enamel and lead to decay.
  • Don’t snack throughout the day. This speeds up plaque production and subjects the teeth to continual contact with acids.
  • Don’t chew on ice. (It really can chip teeth.)
  • Don’t drink energy drinks. They have many substances that are dangerous to teeth.

Other Important Tips

  • Don’t use your teeth as tools. It is better to cut that knotted shoelace than to gnaw at it to try to untangle it.
  • Don’t get piercings in or around your mouth.
  • Don’t ignore tooth pain or sensitivity.
  • If you have children, meet with Dr. Hull about water fluoridation. If your municipal water supply is not fluoridated, you may want to give your kids fluoride supplements.
  • Don’t use a medium or hard bristle toothbrush. It can damage gums.
  • If you have an eating disorder—seek professional help right away. Bulimia and anorexia are extremely damaging to teeth. (Not to mention the toll they take on the heart and other organs.)

We encourage all of our patients to maintain a lifestyle that supports dental health as well as overall physical health. At Eric 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.

Find A Few Minutes To Floss

Categories: Dental health, Dental hygiene, Oral Health

One common excuse often given by people who don’t floss is that the practice is difficult to fit into their daily schedule. If you’ve found this to be true, and feel like you are too busy to floss, here are some suggestions for when to fit this important dental health habit into your day. At Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we want to instill good oral health habits in all our patients.

  • The most common time is right before bed, but make sure you aren’t too tired to do a good job.
  • Right when you wake up is also an option, but if food is left between teeth all night, it can bring about plaque.
  • Try just after lunch, before you go back to work.
  • Floss while you are in the car sitting in traffic. It’s easier one-handed with the pre-strung floss pics. (You might get some odd looks from other drivers, but it’s worth it.)
  • Keep some floss in your gym bag so you can floss after you exercise.
  • While you’re watching the nightly news.

I hope this gives you some beneficial ideas to help you make flossing part of your daily routine. Flossing is important for anyone in Comstock Park who wants to have a healthy smile.

If you want to upgrade your smile, look into cosmetic dentistry procedures such as porcelain veneers, invisible braces, teeth whitening, or dental implants.

My name is Dr. Eric Hull. Helping my dental patients establish good habits is important to me, as well as helping them obtain the smile they want with cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening and complete smile makeovers.

We are currently accepting new patients, so give us a call at 616-784-2377 to make an appointment!

We can whiten, brighten, and straighten your smile!

Is It Growing In Your Mouth?

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental health, Oral Health

Grand Rapids restorative dentistry

Believe it or not, plaque can rear its ugly head in any Comstock Park mouth – even yours – no matter how meticulous you try to be. If you have deep grooves, watch out. If you have a receding gum line, watch out. If you are a candy-loving Comstock Park resident with the proverbial sweet tooth, watch out. However, Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry can help out.

The plaque process goes something like this:
Bacteria naturally occur in the mouth, and always will. Bacteria will try to colonize the smooth surfaces of your teeth. At first, it will be soft enough to be removed with a fingernail. After 48 hours, it will start to harden. Give it 10 days and it will be the substance most difficult to remove, tartar. (See picture.) This bacteria will feed on sugars and produce acid that will eat away the tissues of the tooth and lead to cavities. Cavities will originate on the surface and spread on and through the tooth. The best way to deal with plaque is to have a consistent removal process, i.e. regular daily brushing and flossing after eating and even sleeping.

A fabulous smile with fabulous teeth isn’t always the reality for Grand Rapids, Rockford, Walker, and Kentwood folks. We encourage anyone in the Grand Rapids area who is unhappy with their smile to consider the benefits of a smile makeover.

Cosmetic dentistry can be a significant investment but the truth of just how much it will cost for veneers, braces, dental implants, and even teeth whitening may surprise you. At our Comstock Park cosmetic dentistry office you can expect to learn about implant dentistry, restorative dentistry, porcelain veneers, and Zoom! teeth whitening, Six Month Smiles, and any number of other dental services.

Eric Hull has been serving the Comstock Park area since 1974. Call 616-784-2377 to schedule a consultation.

Implants Make Life Better For Denture Wearers

Categories: Dental Implants

Grand Rapids tooth implants

The condition of your teeth has a significant impact on your quality of life. Denture wearers understand this all too well. Tooth decay and gum disease are painful. If the teeth cannot be saved, tooth extraction will be necessary.  An extraction is usually followed by bone recession.

While dentures are certainly preferable to having no teeth at all, they certainly come with a host of problems. They can irritate gums and make breathing, eating, tasting food, talking and laughing difficult.  Dentures are not a once-and-your-done solution for missing teeth. As the jaw shrinks, they require relines.

But there is hope! Dental implant technology can significantly improve the quality of life for Belmont, Comstock Park, Cedar Springs, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI people who have been wearing traditional dentures. To a certain extent, implants halt the downhill progression of declining oral health due to tooth loss.

Dental implants can be used to replace several teeth and/or anchor over dentures allowing  your dentist to securely attach an appliance so that it won’t slip or irritate gums. Small titanium posts are implanted into the jawbone and fuse with the surrounding bone, creating a stable base for an over denture.

Did you know that some denture wearers retain only 10 percent of their chewing ability? Implant-supported dentures can stop bone recession and restore near-normal chewing ability. Improved chewing function with implants can result in better nutrition and overall physical health. The psychological benefits are equally valuable. When Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry patients are free of embarrassing denture-slipping, they are happier, more confident, and socialize more often.

Before you spend money on another denture reline, talk to Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull about denture-stabilization implants.

Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry provides unprecedented dentistry including porcelain veneers, implant dentistry, and restorative dentistry. Our courteous team is devoted to improving the lives of our valued patients.

Call 616-784-2377 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull. Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry provides cutting-edge general and cosmetic dentistry including porcelain veneers, implant dentistry, and restorative dentistry. Our understanding team is enthusiastic about oral health and remarkable smiles.

How Do Veneers Create Stunning Smiles In Rockford, MI?

Categories: Porcelain Veneers

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in Rockford, MI Veneers have a multitude of applications in Comstock Park cosmetic dentistry. With veneers, you can transform your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Is your tooth enamel worn and thin? Tooth-colored porcelain veneers have the brilliance and translucency of healthy tooth enamel. Many Rockford, MI dental patients have received veneers to cover worn enamel. Some believe they look twenty years younger!

Have your teeth developed uneven edges? Tooth grinding, natural wear and other factors can roughen tooth edges. Veneers are a minimally invasive correction for uneven tooth edges.

Do you have chips or cracks in your teeth? If your teeth are otherwise healthy, veneers provide a flawless tooth surface. Are your teeth yellow or gray? Veneers can fix that, too. Veneers can be fabricated in any shade to perk up your smile while still blending naturally with your other teeth and skin tones.

Porcelain veneers are paper-thin, tooth-shaped covers that are affixed to the front of teeth. Traditional veneers required the removal of a thin layer of tooth structure. Prepless veneers are applied to unaltered teeth.

Veneers are strong, natural looking, and one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures in Walker and Sparta. Of course, a tooth with extensive damage may need a dental crown.

At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we would be happy to show you what veneers can do for you. Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry is located at 769 York Creek Dr NW in Comstock Park. We provide premium dental care for many of your friends and neighbors in the greater Rockford, MI area. Our phone number is 616-784-2377.
