Sometimes, things happen. We’re only give one set of adult teeth to last us our entire lives, which means that when damage occurs, you can’t do much about it on your own. But you depend on your smile to make a great first impression, and when you’re not happy, it’s time to tell your dentist about it. So, if you are due for your next biannual checkup, use it to your advantage.
With Dr. James R. Stewart in Livonia, MI, you’ve got someone looking out for your long-term smile success. We understand that your teeth are a big part of your daily life, and without a quality set, it can be tough showing up for a first date or all-important job interview. That’s why we offer a full range of cosmetic dental solutions for qualified patients, including safe and effective teeth whitening through Opalescence and KöR®, porcelain veneers, and cosmetic dental bonding. At your next dental checkup, let’s talk about your smile goals and develop a plan to reach them.

Lifting Stains With A Dentist Helps Protect Enamel Strength
One of the most frequent causes of concern for patients is enamel staining. This happens due to repeated exposure to foods and beverages that have staining agents within them. Smoking and other forms of tobacco use can also dramatically increase stains, so please stop if you are able. And while there are a bunch of different whitening options available at your local supermarket, these bring their own inherent risks.
By working with a trusted dentist to remove stubborn stains from your enamel, you can take precautions. Overbleaching enamel can lead to dentin sensitivity, so meet with your provider for an examination before you try anything on your own. Our office offers both Opalescence and KöR® whitening, so let’s talk about which makes the most sense for your smile.
Veneers? Bonding? Explore The Differences
There are times when teeth whitening’s not enough to reach the smile you want. In those times, ask about two different processes designed to add material to teeth. We’re talking, of course about veneers and bonding.
Each of these approaches works in a different way. Veneers use a slim layer of external material to add a new front-facing tooth surface, and they’ve been around for 100 years to help people. Cosmetic bonding is another tried-and-true method that works with the same composite resin that works so well in dental fillings.
