Why Trust Your Smile to Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry?

Comstock Parkaffordable cosmetic dentistry

Good dental health means having healthy teeth and gums. Maintaining it is something that you have to work at every day.

It can be a real balancing act: using the right oral care products, your personal oral care habits, and seeing us at Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park MI at least twice a year.

Your dental health strategy should include:

  1. Daily brushing and flossing. You should brush and floss twice a day. Just before bedtime is especially important, because it cleans out the germs and plaque that build up during the course of the day.
  2. Proper brushing. It’s important not only to brush, but to brush properly. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush in a gentle, circular motion along the gum line. Take your time; a minimum of two minutes is recommended. Don’t forget to brush your tongue!
  3. Using fluoridated toothpaste. There are dozens of choices when it comes to toothpaste. Whether you prefer mint flavored or bubble gum, fluoride is the most important consideration. It can help strengthen your teeth and maintain that smile!
  4. Limiting sugary and acidic foods. Acidic fruits, teas, and coffee contributes to enamel erosion. Sugar converts into acid when it’s in your mouth. You don’t have to avoid these foods entirely, but choose carefully and minimize your intake.
  5. Seeing the dentist twice a year. Your daily dental health care habits are essential, but so is the attention and care of a dentist. A professional tooth cleaning alone is worth the trip, but we can also identify issues before they become serious, and treat them.

At Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park MI, we see patients from  Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI. Our services include cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry, dental implants, and Invisalign orthodontics. Contact us today!

Remake Your Smile With Dental Bonding

Remake Your Comstock Park Smile With Bonding And Shaping

Most of us want to have a more beautiful smile. At Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park MI, this is a real possibility. Dental bonding can improve your smile in ways you probably never thought possible!

Traditional Dental Bonding

Dr. Eric Hull uses dental bonding to improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, misaligned, or dull/dark.  When teeth are bonded, a tooth-colored material is applied to the tooth surface and is blended with the natural tooth enamel to provide a strong structural support with a natural appearance.

Composite Dental Bonding

A more conservative form of treatment, we can use composite dental bonding to change the color, improve the shape, and shift the contours of your teeth. Different shades and colors of composites are used, including some translucent ones to create a natural looking smile in as little as one visit.

If you’re looking for quality cosmetic dentistry and a focus on patient comfort, look no further than Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park MI. Patients from Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford also come to us for general dentistry. Contact us today!

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best?

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Teeth Whitening

A beautiful smile can light up a whole room. And since a smile is one of the very first things that other people notice, it can serve you well in any social setting.

If you’d like a brighter smile, professional teeth whitening from Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park can restore your natural beauty.

Everything from the foods we eat to the drinks we consume leave their mark on the surface of our teeth. Things like blueberries and red wine are especially known for leaving stains. Factor in the accumulation of plaque and tartar, and it’s easy to understand why teeth dull over time.

Having your teeth whitened professionally can be a huge boost for your self-confidence. You’ll look younger, and find it easier to make a positive impression on other people. This helps explain why teeth whitening is one of the most in-demand treatments in cosmetic dentistry.

You will love the results you will get from professional whitening. We offer in office Zoom!® whitening and professional home whitening, for your at-home convenience.

Teeth whitening at Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park is safe and effective. We’ve whitened the smiles of patients throughout Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, MI.  We also help with Invisalign clear braces, family dentistry, and other dental care needs. Please call our office for an appointment today!

When Style And Oral Health Collide

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental health, Oral Health

ZOOM Whitening in Comstock Park, MI

At Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park MI, we focus on cosmetic dentistry and patient-centered dental care. Today, we wanted to talk to you about the potential health benefits that cosmetic dentistry could bring you!

We know that the term ‘cosmetic’ might be fitting, but it can also be misleading. Most cosmetic dentistry procedures actually do double duty! They help you with the aesthetics of your smile and they also improve and maintain your dental health.

Our team has put together this simple list containing the health benefits of procedures that might seem, at first, to be purely cosmetic.

Oral Health Benefits

 

  • Zoom!® teeth whitening not only helps your smile shine brighter; it also helps keep your teeth healthy by removing stains. This strengthens your enamel and keeps your gums clean.
  • Porcelain veneers might be our most popular cosmetic option, but, in addition to the improvement of aesthetic smile consistency, they can protect the front of your teeth and create long-lasting, structural support for your jaw and teeth.
  • Invisalign® Clear Braces can correct smiles in need of some restructuring. In addition to giving you a red-carpet smile, these help keep your teeth and jaw lined-up and prevent overcrowding, allowing you to easily clean your teeth.
  • Chipped tooth repair can be crucial to your dental health. A cracked or broken tooth that has been repaired helps build a healthy oral ecosystem and keeps your other teeth healthy, too.

Cosmetic dentistry is where oral health and style combine. At Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park MI, we serve  patients from Ada, Belmont, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker and Rockford, who come to us for these and other cosmetic options, as well as restorative and implant dentistry. Contact us today to find out how you can look and feel healthier!

smile design Comstock Park

A smile makeover from Eric Hull DDS Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park will give you a brilliant new smile that leads to greater self-confidence and improved dental health. We take a very methodical approach to make sure you’re thrilled with the results.

A smile makeover means combining different cosmetic dentistry techniques to improve the appearance of your smile. These may include:

  • Teeth whitening
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Dental implants
  • Bonding

Before moving forward with any of the actual procedures, though, we schedule a consultation to evaluate your overall dental health, and to determine what it is about your smile you’d like to improve. We’ll check the health of your teeth and gums, as well as the underlying structure.

We’ll also check to see that your bite is good: that is, the way your upper and lower teeth come together. If we discover any problems we’ll need to address those first.

Some of the evaluations may surprise you. We’ll consider the color and shape of your face, including lips and cheeks, and even your hair. The goal is to find just the right balance between these features and the proposed smile improvements.

From there we’ll develop a plan to address the smile improvements you want to make.
