November 18, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

At The Gentle Dentist located in Shelby Township and in the Sterling Heights Michigan area http://www.thegentledentist.com/cosmetic_dentistry.htm we are committed to the most current up to the date cosmetic dentistry procedures such as bleaching, cosmetic dental porcelain veneers, Bonding and the Snap on Smile procedure.  The Snap on Smile is an easy and affordible treatment that is intended to be used to literally “Snap on” over the existing teeth.  People ask me if these are intended to be used permanantly and I tell them that the snap on smile is for a year or two duration and can be used to replace missing teeth, lengthen, close the gaps in teeth and whiten them. 

The material is made in a custom laboratory and is flexible enough to be mobile et is strong enough to last for quite a time.  These procedures are really nice looking in certain circumstances.  These are listed below:

  • short teeth that don’t show much when smiling
  • spaces in between teeth
  • missing teeth can be replaced with the snap on smile
  • Teeth that are placed further back in the mouth

If you have any quesions about the procedure or to see if this is for you then give our Shelby Township Michigan dental office a call at 586.247.3500.

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 – Dental Porcelain Veneers in Shelby Township, Michigan

March 3, 2010 by ·

The use of Cosmetic porcelain veneers is a very common way that many Michigan residents choose to enhance their smiles.  Porcelain veneers are thin shells of beautiful porcelain that is fabricated in a dental laboratory.  They are about the thickness of a credit card and are very fragile when handled.  When they are bonded to the natural tooth they become incredibly strong and are about as strong as your natural teeth.  Every attempt is to keep the shaping of the teeth as conservative as possible.   Lumineers are a name brand for a type of porcelain and placing them on teeth gives a natural look.

The following is an example what laminate veneers are used for:

  • Straightening crooked teeth by filling in the areas that are pushed in and in areas where the teeth are protruding slightly more tooth reduction is necessary.  The idea is to get the teeth to look uniform when looking at someone straight on or to the side.
  • Darkened teeth can be made whiter.  This is done by reducing some of the thickness of the natural tooth and thickening it up with whiter porcelain.  The same principle applies when Formica is placed over a kitchen top.  Any malformations are covered up by this thin film so no one will know the difference.
  • Missing teeth can be filled in with a fixed bridge made of the same porcelain as the veneer.  This is a very natural and conservative approach to a beautiful smile when a tooth is missing.
  • To close spaces between teeth.  This is very common and by making the tooth slightly wider the spaces can be closed up, giving a beautiful result.

Porcelain veneers last many many years, are conservative, keep the teeth the same bright white color and don’t stain like bonding.  Call Shelby Township, Michigan Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Antolak at (586)247-3500 for a free dental consultation to see if porcelain veneers are right for you.
