5 Tools for Tooth Transformations

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

porcelain veneers price Rockford, MI

Too-small teeth. Misshapen teeth. Cracked teeth. Chipped teeth. Spacing irregularities. These troubles are all-too-common for Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker, and Rockford, MI dental patients. But now, with the advances in cosmetic dentistry, there are affordable fixes for these vexing tooth problems!

  1. Veneers. Porcelain veneers or laminates are tooth-colored material that is custom-made so the size, shape, and color perfectly match your surrounding teeth. The veneers are securely cemented to the front of the teeth to dramatically change your smile.
  2. Bonding. This procedure uses strong, tooth-colored resin to close spaces, repair chips and cracks, or change the shape. The resin is molded into place and then a light is applied to harden the material for secure adherence to the tooth.
  3. Recontouring. Minimally-invasive reshaping of a tooth by removing minuscule bits of enamel to improve the shape or length. This cosmetic dentistry procedure is sometimes calledodontoplasty or slenderizing.
  4. Crowns. Most people are familiar with this durable multi-purpose restoration. Natural-looking dental crowns are fabricated in the shape and color of the tooth and cemented into place to fully cover the part of the tooth visible above the gumline.
  5. Braces. Patients of all ages are transforming their smiles with innovative orthodontia. Before you dismiss this option as too time-consuming or expensive, learn about the new braces now available, including Invisalign and Six Month Smiles. Braces are more convenient and discreet than ever before.

Countless Grand Rapids dental patients have achieved beautiful smiles with a smile transformation from Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry!

Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull of Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry in Comstock Park are passionate about helping their patients have optimum oral health and beautiful smiles.

How Bright Can You Shine?

Categories: Teeth Whitening

Bright Smiles In Walker

Do you want brighter, whiter teeth? Most Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI residents notice their teeth dulling as the years go by, but some foods, drinks, and even mouthwashes can stain teeth at any age.

OTC tooth whitening products like kits, strips, or toothpastes may slightly lighten stains, but for a truly stunning smile, see Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull!

If you have dental veneers, bonding, or bridges, teeth whitening products will not affect the stains and your whitened natural teeth may make your dental work look even duller in comparison. At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we can advise you with options available, including veneers or bonding, if these have discolored with age.

Remember, anything that can stain a white t-shirt can stain teeth.

Fortunately, brushing after meals can keep stains at bay; however, after consuming acidic foods or drinks, just rinse your mouth with water. Brushing right away can erode enamel.

In-office teeth whitening takes about an hour and bleaches teeth to a whiter-than-ever brilliance. Professional take-home whitening kits are also available at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry and can produce outstanding results over a short period of time.

For more details about a younger and brighter smile, contact our very friendly and thorough dental team for a smile brightening consultation today!

Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

Comstock Park Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Comstock Park and throughout Michigan. Numerous ads for whitening products in our local media contain terms such as ‘White Brite’, ’22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

We recommend that our local Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI area patients talk to Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull DDS at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry about teeth whitening.  Just because teeth whitening products are readily available it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion from Dr Stewart and Dr. Hull is recommended.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you have tetracycline stained teeth or existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work. It is  important to get a professional opinion from Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull about worry free teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile. Many of our patients have benefited from porcelain veneers. Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening. Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. Call our office today at 616-827-7019 to schedule a consultation.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Common Myths About Comstock Park Family Cosmetic Dentistry

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many so-called Rockford, MI cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Grand Rapids dental procedures such as tooth replacement prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many important advantages for Sparta dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 616-784-2377 to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss veneers.

Myth #4: Grand Rapids Braces are the Only Way to Correct Crooked Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Rockford, MI teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, veneers can reshape your teeth and help you achieve a beautiful smile in as little as two visits.

Is Your Low-Carb Diet Giving You Bad Breath?

Categories: Oral Health

bad breath treatment Rockford, MI

Many residents in the Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker, and Rockford, MI area mistakenly believe that all bad breath is linked to insufficient brushing. The truth is that there are several causes of halitosis. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull can help you identify the cause of your problem and discuss how to cure bad breath.

What you eat may have something to do with it. Because foods begin to be digested the moment they enter your mouth, and because they are absorbed and distributed throughout the body, you probably will be able to smell strong foods like onions and garlic long after you’ve eaten them.

Using a mouthwash from your local Comstock Park drugstore will only mask the smell. Constantly sucking on breath mints is also not a good idea. This may bring additional oral problems – especially if the mints have sugar. If you want real relief, you may need to avoid the strong foods altogether.

Many dieters find that their diet regimen is making it harder to keep their mouth fresh and clean. Low-carb and no-carb diets promote fat burning, but the side effect of bad breath can be caused by the chemicals released during this process. Increasing water intake can help alleviate this.

Lastly, flossing regularly is often the key to truly fresh breath.  Food stuck between teeth can cause halitosis if it isn’t removed.  More importantly, the food particles turn into plaque which can cause cavities and gum disease.
 Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull in Comstock Park provide general, restorative, and cosmetic dental treatmebt.  We want our patients to have the best oral health possible, and that includes fresh breath. We also want them to love their smile, so if you have any questions about a smile makeover or other cosmetic dentistry procedures, give us a call at 616-827-7019.
