Dental Veneers: Do You Need Help with Tetracycline Stains?

Categories: Aesthetic dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Veneers, Teeth Whitening

Help For Tetracycline And Fluoride Stains dental veneers

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, our mission is making the smiles of our dental patients bright and beautiful. Today, we are going to talk about ways to enhance your beautiful smile with teeth whitening.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Maybe as a teenager, you were prescribed tetracycline to combat acne but have now been left with discolored teeth. If you are like many Comstock Park adults, you have sipped on dark beverages such as coffee, soda, and wine over the years – and your teeth are showing the effects. Call us today at 616-784-2377 to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Recommended Treatments

One of the options we recommend at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry for treating discolored teeth is tooth whitening. This can be done in the office in as little as two hours with Zoom whitening or at your convenience with our at-home whitening system.  If your teeth are discolored from tetracycline then you would benefit from dental veneers, sometimes called porcelain laminates. Dental veneers not only restore discolored teeth, but they can cover worn, chipped, and cracked teeth.

This is done by placing a thin composite of porcelain over the damaged tooth or teeth leaving a gorgeous, white, flawless smile. At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we feel that dental veneers are the least invasive form of cosmetic dentistry, yet the results are stunning. The smiles of our happy patients after receiving dental veneers are dazzling.

Are You Ready for an Appointment?

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we also offer teeth whitening, dental implants, and Invisalign invisible braces in Comstock Park. Come to see why the patients of Comstock Park have been improving their smiles at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry since 1974. We look forward to hearing from you.

Overcoming Dental Anxiety at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry

Categories: About Our Office, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental health, Dental hygiene, Family Dentistry

Overcoming dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety impacts many people, including some Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry patients. Today’s post answers some questions asked about this vital topic.

What Are Long-term Consequences of Dental Anxiety?

The most detrimental consequence is when a patient delays dental care until a pain becomes excruciating. At this point, the trouble is usually extremely advanced and requires extensive treatment. Moreover, there are usually many other dental problems in varying stages of progression. Several oral conditions at once can risk general health and well-being, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible.

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

Schedule an appointment with Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park. There are several specific fears associated with dental anxiety and dental phobia. Fear of pain, fear of the unknown, fear of loss of control, and embarrassment because of poor dental health are the most prevalent concerns. During your consultation, we will address each of your particular fears and discuss how we can help you to overcome them.

We have helped many patients in overcoming dental anxiety during dental exams and treatment. First off, we take things slowly. We explain exactly what is going to happen before each procedure. Furthermore, we always treat our patients with compassion, because we care about them. Lastly, we agree upon a nonverbal signal, such as raising a hand, to cue the dentist to remove the instrument from the patient’s mouth. Then he/she can take a break, breathe deeply, regain composure, ask questions, and learn the status of the procedure.

These methods go a long way to calm anxious dental patients. At the very least, they help the patient get through a treatment that is necessary. With each subsequent visit, the patient is comforted by increased familiarity, greater confidence, and a strengthened relationship with our friendly and thorough team. To learn more about overcoming dental anxiety or any other dental topic, please call Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 616-784-2377.

Dental Marvels: Implants in Comstock Park

Categories: Aesthetic dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants, Family Dentistry, General Dentistry, Sleep apnea, Snoring

At least three million Americans have replaced a missing tooth with a dental implant and that number grows each year. At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, we are providers of these dental marvels.

A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically implanted into your jaw. An artificial tooth fits on top of the post.

One of the things that make dental implants so popular is that they blend in so easily with the patient’s remaining teeth. They look and function like natural teeth and are an excellent, long-term solution.

Another benefit of dental implants is that they prevent bone recession, which is common in people who have lost teeth. The titanium post goes where the tooth root used to be, and integrates with the bone.

For patients missing all of their teeth, implants can be used to anchor dentures or partials, providing a much firmer, more secure fit. Many patients report newfound confidence in themselves, after years of embarrassment caused by missing teeth.

Dental implants are one of the biggest advances in dentistry. To find out more, contact Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park. We also provide family and cosmetic dentistry, and treat conditions suchas sleep apnea.   Schedule an appointment with us today+

Oral Cancer Screening: Essential Exams in Comstock Park

Categories: Aesthetic dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Family Dentistry, General Dentistry, Oral cancer screenings, Oral Health

Oral cancer screenings consist of a physical and visual exam of a patient’s mouth and surrounding tissues. When it comes to oral cancer survival rates, two numbers are key: 40% and 90%. 40% of those who receive a late-stage diagnosis die within five years. However, the survival rate for early stage diagnosis is 90%.

Oral Cavity and Oropharynx—Mouth and Throat
Cancers that originate in the mouth (oral cavity) are labeled oral cancers. The oral cavity is comprised of the inside tissue of the mouth and cheeks, the lips, the tissue below the tongue, the roof of the mouth, and the front two-thirds of the tongue.

“Why only two-thirds of the tongue?” you might ask. Fair question. The answer is that the back third of the tongue is considered part of the throat.

Throat cancers, or oropharyngeal cancers, start in the oropharynx, the part of the mouth behind the parts considered part of the oral cavity. The oropharynx consists of the soft palate, the tonsils, and the throat.

How Are Oral Cancers Diagnosed?
Some oral cancers produce symptoms that prompt the patient to see a doctor. Others are found by dentists and doctors during exams. Thousands of lives could be saved every year if more people received regular screenings.

A visual oral cancer exam is relatively quick and convenient compared to other cancer screening tests. If an abnormality is discovered, the patient is referred to an appropriate specialist for further testing and diagnosis.

Be proactive. Ask Stewart & Hull Aesthetic Dentistry in Comstock Park about an oral cancer screening. We use the non-invasive VELscope as an aid in finding oral abnormalities. We also provide general and family dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry. Schedule an appointment with us today.

Dental Sealants: Another Tool For Dental Health in Comstock Park

Categories: Aesthetic dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental health, General Dentistry, Oral Health, Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening

Dental Sealants - Another Tool For Cavity Prevention In Rockford

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, we encourage all our patients to brush and floss  regularly, because it’s essential to good dental health.

But brushing and flossing can’t do it all. Teeth have grooves and depressions where bacteria can hide, and start tooth decay. This is where dental sealants are invaluable.

Dental sealants are a plastic material that is applied to the chewing surface of the back molars. They seal out the food particles and bacteria that cause cavities, and are an extra layer of protection against.

Sealants are usually thought of as something for children and their developing teeth, but they’re good for adult teeth, too. They do not, of course, eliminate the need for other care. Used along with a daily routine of brushing and flossing, and with fluoride treatments and a healthy diet, dental sealants are one of the tools we have to maintain excellent dental health.

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry, dental sealants are part of our regular care. We also provide popular cosmetic dentistry procedures like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers. To find out more, call our office in Comstock Park. In the meantime, visit our smile gallery to see examples of what we can do.
