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.

Cosmetic dental smile makeovers are popular and can change a person’s self image and self esteem. In this video Shelby Township, Michigan cosmetic dentist Dr. Robert Antolak truly affects the life of a  patient of his.  With cosmetic gum recontouring, bleaching, cosmetic crowns and reshaping the teeth,  a beautiful smile makeover is not only possible, but very obtainable.

If any of the following conditions describe you then you need to contact Dr. Antolak for a free cosmetic dentistry consultation:

  • If you find yourself hiding when a camera appears on the scene.
  • If you are the one taking the pictures, but not in the photos.
  • If you don’t show your teeth when you smile in case someone notices your teeth.
  • When dealing with people you intentionally make sure your lip doesn’t have the chance to slide up.
  • you can’t look at yourself in the mirror since you can’t tolerate your appearance.

Cosmetic dentistry and the smiles they produce have some things in common:

  • The teeth look natural in that they don’t have a black line which appears at the gum line
  • you can’t tell that they are crowns because they have small characterizations that natural teeth have made of many colors, opacity and surface contours
  • The teeth have a natural smile where the front teeth look longer and the teeth progressively look smaller as they go toward the back of the mouth.
  • there aren’t any missing teeth or holes in the smile.

Dr. Antolak practices comprehensive, cosmetic, implant and general dentistry in Shelby Township, Macomb County, Michigan.  They can be contacted at (586) 247-3500 or at www.TheGentleDentist.com.

What should I look for in choosing a cosmetic dentist to do porcelain veneers?

July 21, 2009 by ·

Cosmetic dental veneers are specialized thin pieces of art.  They are customized to allow your best smile to come forward.  A beautiful smile is the first thing noticed by a person you first meet.   In fact,  research has consistently shown that people with beautiful smile are actually more confident and present themselves with more assertiveness.  You may ask how this can be possible for you to have a beautiful smile if your teeth are:

  • Stained
  • chipped
  • crooked
  • missing

Many of our patients who are from the Sterling Heights, Shelby Township, Clinton Township and Macomb area have chosen to make the investment in themselves with a smile make over.   Porcelain Dental Veneers are a very durable and conservative way to improve your smile in less than one month.  

You may ask how do you choose a cosmetic dentist to create this work of art on your teeth?  these may be concerns and questions you may have when choosing the dentist and dental office:

  • I believe it is critical for the asthetic dentist to display what they have been able to do with previous patients and have testimonies to prove what they have done on others can be done on you. 
  • The confidence you have in your dentist is a very important factor when choosing a cosmetic dentist. 
  • The dental laboratory should be located in the United States and should have a great working relationship with the dentist to create beauiful smiles.
  • The use of technology is an important aspect that helps to enhance the quality of treatment.  Is the cosmetic dentist taking advantage of the digital photography, imaging, etc?
  • What is the warantee given by the dentist and will they stand up to their cosmetic dentistry?
  • Is the dentist willing to give you guidance in visualizing the outcome of your treatment even before it is started?

The answer is Dr. Robert Antolak, The gentle dentist located in Shelby Twp, MI.  Call their office at (586)247-3500
