Orthodontic Solutions You Can Live With

Categories: Orthodontic Treatment

https://www.greatmismiles.com/invisalign-clear-braces/If your teeth aren’t as straight as you’d like, the good news is that you have options that have nothing to do with a mouth full of metal wires and brackets. Enter Invisalign. 

The name Invisalign is an apt description of what this technologically advanced system does: align teeth invisibly. With Invisalign, patients receive custom plastic aligners that fit snugly over the teeth. Every couple of weeks, as the teeth move, the patient changes the aligners. Patients appreciate the fact that Invisalign trays are barely noticeable and they don’t restrict a normal diet. It is also beneficial that they are easy to keep clean.

If you have an event or need to be photographed, you can remove the aligners for short periods of time, but still continue with your treatment. It is important, however, that you commit to wearing the aligners every day for at least 22 hours if your treatment is going to be successful.

For an evaluation of your orthodontic needs call 616-784-2377 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry.

At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we are zealous about first rate dental care including comprehensive restorative and cosmetic dentistry. In addition to Invisalign, ask us about porcelain veneers and dental implants. Whether you need an exam and cleaning or a complete smile transformation, we look forward to serving you.

Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures for a Smile You’ll Love!

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

family dentist Comstock ParkWhether you have chipped teeth, yellow enamel, a broken dental bridge, or even missing teeth, there are procedures to fix your dental problems and give you a natural looking smile that you will be proud to show off.

We carefully analyze the macroesthetics (larger facial characteristics and relationships between bone structure, tooth size, and shape) and microesthetics (more delicate features such as tooth shade and degree of translucency) when we are designing a smile. There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all treatment. Each Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry smile design is as unique as you are.

Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull have been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry in Comstock Park, Michigan, since 1974. During our careers, we have both established reputations for excellence while providing care for many fantastic Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI residents. Performing smile makeovers makes our profession extremely fulfilling.

A smile makeover in Comstock Park at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry typically involves two or more procedures, which may include: porcelain veneers, tooth implants, crown lengthening, dental bonding, and/or teeth whitening. Of course, just one procedure, such as tooth-colored fillings, can make a world of difference.

Call Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry at 616-784-2377 today to schedule a smile design consultation.

Dental Implants Provide the Best Option for Tooth Replacement

Categories: Dental Implants

Ask any denture wearer, and he or she will likely tell you that dentures do not feel and function like natural 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.

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

By practicing good oral hygiene and seeing Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull for regular dental checkups, it is hoped you can avoid losing your teeth altogether. 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. Schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry.  We are located at 769 York Creek Dr NW in Comstock Park, 49321.

cosmetic dentist Comstock Park

Hello Comstock Park! Welcome to Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, and we have been here serving the Rockford, MI, area since 1974. We are constantly striving to cater to the oral health needs of our patients, and we hope that you might be one of these patients soon!

One innovative way that we keep our patients and others informed is by this blog, the Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry blog. We want to keep families informed about how they can have healthy, beautiful smiles.

A central goal of this blog is to encourage everyone to develop more effective oral health habits, such as proper brushing and flossing. We also want to promote the use of quality dental products.

Cosmetic dentistry is another critical topic that we like to address. We offer a full menu of cosmetic dentistry services. Ask us about dental implants, teeth whitening, veneers, dental crowns, and tooth-colored fillings. We hope to educate Rockford, MI residents on what these procedures are and how they can help you to get the beautiful smile that you’ve always wanted.

If you have any questions, please call us at 616-784-2377 and a member of our friendly and thorough staff can schedule an appointment for you. Whether you want to know more about in-office teeth whitening, problems such as dry mouth, dental implants, or invisible braces, we can help.

Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry Treatment For Sensitive Teeth

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Family Dentistry

 

sensitive teethFor those of you who feel pain when you sip your morning coffee or who cringe each time you brush or floss, Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry is here for you. We have been treating this common problem since 1974.

The first line of defense against tooth sensitivity is proper oral hygiene. Incorrect brushing and over-brushing can bring about receding gums, which leads to the exposure of microscopic tubules in the dentin. When these tubules are exposed, acidic, hot, cold, and sticky foods can then reach the nerve cells in the teeth causing discomfort (who are we kidding – it’s pain).

Here in our Comstock Park cosmetic and general dentistry practice, Dr. Stewart and Dr, Hull can determine if your brushing style is contributing to your tooth sensitivity and get you on your way to proper oral care habits.

Dr.  Stewart and Dr. Hull may recommend an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste that reduces tooth pain after several applications. However, some Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI patients may need in-office procedures such as fluoride gel treatments available at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry.

Don’t worry if you have sensitive teeth and want to have your teeth whitened. Here at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull can determine which professional tooth whitening or at-home whitening procedures will work for you.

Call our Comstock Park cosmetic dental office today at 616-784-2377 to get relief for your sensitive teeth.

How Can You Improve Your Smile Quickly?

Categories: Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can revamp your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that are attached to the front of your teeth and can be used to correct chips and stains. Porcelain veneers can also straighten crooked teeth for patients who don’t need orthodontic work.  Porcelain has been used in dentistry for many years because no other restorative material is such an excellent match for natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is translucent and can be matched to the color of any tooth. It is stronger than enamel and resists stains. Patients who receive porcelain veneers appreciate the less-invasive process of enhancing their smile.

Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry is located at 769 York Creek Dr NW in Comstock Park. We provide  dental care for patients in the Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI area. Call our office to schedule a complimentary consultation.  616-784-2377. We would be happy to show you what veneers can do for your smile.

Smile – sunshine is good for your teeth!

Dental Implants – For a Better Tooth Restoration Solution

Dentures have come a long way in recent years. They are vastly improved from the old-fashioned, fake-looking restorations of yesterday. In spite of this, 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.

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.

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.

Whitening vs Bleaching At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry In Comstock Park

Categories: Teeth Whitening

Whitening vs Bleaching At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry In Comstock Park

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental service that Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry provides in-office or through a take home kit. Results vary, but most patients see significant lightening that lasts up to a year. Our teeth whitening patients affirm that a whiter smile increases self confidence and can take years of wear and discoloration away to reveal a brighter smile.

Teeth whitening and teeth bleaching, however, mean two different things. Surface cracks and stains occur on tooth enamel, exposing the yellower dentin below the surface. Discoloration can be the result of the natural aging process, illness, genetics, or dark colored food or drink. Foods and beverages that are both dark colored and acidic – like wine, coffee, and tomato sauce – have even greater staining power.

Teeth bleaching is used to describe a tooth whitening product that contains a form of bleach, either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, in varying concentrations. For best results, teeth bleaching should be done in-office. Bleaching can commonly achieve more noticeable results, sometimes up to seven shades lighter. Intrinsic stains on the dentin, as well as surface stains can be effectively lightened under an experienced dentist’s supervision.

Call the friendly and thorough team at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry to schedule a complimentary consultation for teeth whitening or other cosmetic dentistry procedures!

We can whiten, brighten, and straighten your smile!

Tooth Bleaching Fact And Fiction

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening

Comstock Park Teeth Whitening and Veneers

You have probably seen ads for bleaching products that contain terms such as “white brite,” “22 carbamide peroxide” and “peroxide teeth.” How do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we only recommend tooth bleaching for patients that are good candidates for the process. Not all teeth whitening systems are appropriate for every person.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk poor results. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is vital to talk to an experienced professional about worry-free teeth whitening.

If you have all-natural teeth that are dull or stained, tooth whitening will probably brighten your smile. If you have several crowns in the front of your mouth, veneers, or gums that have receded, conventional tooth-whitening may not be successful.

Porcelain veneers may be a better solution for you. Porcelain veneers not only brighten your smile, they can provide many other improvements.

Veneers are sometimes called “instant orthodontics” because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Schedule a complimentary consultation by calling 616-784-2377. We look forward to meeting you and discussing your unique smile.

For more details about our services, including implant dentistry, restorative dentistry, or porcelain veneers, call 616-784-2377.
