Dental Implants May Be Right For You

How Mini Dental Implants Can Help Your Smile in 49321

Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry’s topic today is dental implants, which are the best way to replace missing 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.

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.

Teeth Whitening Will Shave Years Off Your Smile

Categories: Teeth Whitening

As we get older, the color of our teeth tends to darken. If we enjoy dark-colored foods and drinks, that will speed up the process even more. That said, however, even if you never drink wine, coffee, or cola, that does not make you immune to yellow or gray teeth. 

When our smiles are not as white as they could be, this can actually make us look older. If you want to brighten up your smile and take years off of it, you might consider tooth whitening? Teeth whitening at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to look younger and more attractive.

There are different methods for whitening teeth available—including  Zoom! in-office quick bleaching and at home tooth whitening. Each uses a solution that contains peroxide to remove the stains that have accumulated in the microscopic cracks in your tooth enamel.

Other Whitening Products
What about do-it-yourself products? The strips, mouthwashes and paint-on whiteners you can find at your local drugstore use a lower concentration of whitening agent than in-office methods. They rarely remove all of the stains on your enamel. If you have gum disease, cavities, crowns, dental bonding, or porcelain veneers, Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull recommend first visiting your dentist for a teeth whitening consultation. You are always better off having teeth whitening performed by a professional. This will ensure the best possible results.

At Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry, we are currently accepting new patients at our Comstock Park office. Our friendly team of skilled dental professionals would love to serve you with implant dentistry, restorative dentistry, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers.

Rockford, MI Cosmetic Dentistry

The people who are most happy with their smiles have healthy, straight teeth that sparkle when they laugh. If nature didn’t bless you with attractive teeth, you are not alone.

You are never too old to improve your smile, but it will definitely make you feel younger!

Two common smile problems are yellow enamel and chipped teeth.

Discolored Teeth

Few Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI people have pearly white smiles that stay that way forever. Even with consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings, our teeth darken as we age. Fortunately, the most affordable Comstock Park cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth bleaching. Picture yourself with a celebrity-caliber smile. It is possible with safe and affordable teeth whitening at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry.

Invisalign—Straight Teeth Without a Mouth Full of Metal

Categories: Orthodontic Treatment

invisalign

What do you think of when you think about braces? If you are like most people, you are probably visualizing painful metal brackets, rubber bands, and years of discomfort and embarrassment. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

That’s where Invisalign comes in. 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.

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 implant dentistry. Whether you need an exam and cleaning or a complete smile transformation, we look forward to serving you.

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.

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.
