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.

July 31, 2009 by ·


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.
