3 Ways Teeth Whitening Can Improve Lives in Shelby Twp

Think about the last time someone took a photo of you. Did you show your full smile? Or, did you keep your lips closed? Did you smile the last time you met someone new? If not, would you like to change that? Teeth whitening may be the answer, and our team here at Dr. Robert V. Antolak can help. Patients and friends often talk to us about how teeth whitening has changed their lives!

  1. People who have had their teeth whitened talk about how much better they feel about themselves. It was amazing what a brightened smile did for one of our patients from Shelby Twp. After having her teeth whitened, she smiles more, she’s more confident, and she feels far more comfortable in all social situations.
  2. Overall appearance is dramatically improved. Your mouth and eyes are the main focal points of your face, and teeth whitening not only improves your smile, but also enhances other facial features as well.
  3. A patient from Shelby Township, Michigan told us about good things that have happened in his business since his teeth whitening. When he meets new clients, the experiences are more positive and engaging because of his confidence. A bright, attractive smile inspires trust.

Michigan Cosmetic Dentist – I don’t like my smile and think I need a smile makeover

August 25, 2009 by ·

Michigan Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Antolak creates beautiful smiles in his Shelby Township, Macomb County office.  Because he is www.TheGentleDentist.com the dental treatment is done in a very gentle way.

Smile makeovers are a general term coined by the cosmetic dentistry industry.  Basically there are  items that make a smile attractive.  These include the following:

  • Teeth are white not stained
  • with a full smile the upper lip shows all except the very end of the tooth crown.  The gum tissue between the teeth just show.
  • the mid line between the two front teeth is vertical straight up and down.
  • the mid line falls in the exact center of the face.  “Cupids bow” where the right and left part of the upper lip meets symetrical with the midline of the teeth.
  • when smiling the bottom of the upper back  teeth follows the lower lip line.
  • You should be able to see almost all of the teeth when smiling.  This is assuming if the teeth are all lined up together.
  • The teeth should not have spaces between them or overlap each other

This picture shows an ideal smile and has all of the atributes mentioned above.

If you would like an attractive smile it is very possible at The Gentle Dentist in Shelby Township, Michigan.   Dr. Antolak accomplishes this first by interviewing the patient determining exactly what they want.  Then by using digital photos, plastic bonding material the ideal smile can be mocked up.

When the patient likes the appearance then duplicate impressions are made of the teeth and a combination of:

  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Porcelain Crowns
  • Orthodontics
  • Bleaching

Can be used to achieve the smile of your dreams.

Dr. Antolak has over 22 years of experience as a Michigan Cosmetic Dentist and has created many beautiful smiles.   You can view the before and after smiles at http://thegentledentist.com/beautiful_smile_gallery.htm.  For a free cosmetic consultation please call them at (586)247-3500.

How can I fix my crooked teeth?

July 15, 2009 by ·

Crooked teeth in the front of the mouth can be embarrassing and difficult to keep clean.   A person’s smile is the first thing noticed by others when they first meet or talk to another.

Lower teeth crowding is a normal part of late growth process of the lower jaw.  As the lower jaw grows until the 40′s the lower teeth are crowded out because they are locked in by the upper teeth overlap.  We normally see crowding of persons in their adult hood.   Many people think this is due to the wisdom teeth putting pressure on all of the teeth.  This has been dis-proven in many studies.

The upper teeth can become crowded if the teeth are too large for the size of the jawbone.  The teeth will tend to go where they are pushed on.  This pressure is usually from the lips pushing in and the tongue pushing out.  If one of these is greater than the other the teeth will be pushed out and the stronger force will win.

Crooked teeth present a number of problems:

  • Aesthetics-They look bad since the size of the teeth look altered as they are crowded into a smaller space than there is room for
  • Gum disease-Teeth that are crooked are difficult to clean and therefore periodontal disease is more likely to take place in these difficult to keep clean areas.
  • Cavities- Teeth that are crowded are difficult to keep clean and are more prone to decay.

So back the the question–How can i fix my crooked teeth in Macomb coutny-  There are a few options to consider:

  1. Braces will most conservatively straighten them up.  By applying a constant force to straighten the crooked teeth and making the teeth thinner to fit into the smaller arc.  This is accomplished by “stripping” the enamel between the teeth.
  2. Dental porcelain veneers- Are used to straighten the teeth.  The thin shells of porcelain work best on upper teeth considering that they can be made to widen the arch and giving a very attractive smile.
  3. Bonding- If the lower teeth are stained they can have composite bonding on them since this only adds to the surface of the teeth.
  4. Bleaching-This makes the teeth whiter and more attractive.
