Celebrity Smiles in Michigan

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , — @ 8:25 am

Veneers in Ann Arbor How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Do they avoid coffee? Not likely. Every star-watching magazine is full of pictures of famous people holding Starbucks cups. Do they avoid tobacco? Some probably do, but many actors and fashion models with dazzling white smiles are smokers.

Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Dr. Gary Sasaki at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS has as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. Sasaki has been providing smile makeovers for Ann Arbor, Saline, Plymouth, and Belleville dental clients since 1971. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth whitening quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in cosmetic dental offices because they correct a myriad of problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete dental crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS. Schedule a Ann Arbor cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 734-482-7466. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

(Note that the celebrities pictured above are not affiliated with our site; they just have great smiles!)

Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular dental procedures in Michigan. It seems that everyone in Ann Arbor is whitening their teeth to help their smiles look younger and brighter. Many consumers in the Ann Arbor area are turning to over-the-counter solutions to whiten their teeth, however there can be dangers and pitfalls to this approach.

Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Gary Sasaki DDS, MS:

First, we encourage you to visit our office in Ann Arbor before starting a tooth whitening system. It is a good idea to have your teeth checked and analyzed by a general dentist before starting a tooth whitening program. Your dental history will help us know if tooth whitening is for you.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening products available in the Ann Arbor area will provide varying degrees of effectiveness on your teeth. If used improperly, tooth whitening solutions can cause problems including tooth sensitivity, over whitening, damage to your tooth enamel, and irregular coloration. Whitening too much can even have a reverse effect, making your teeth look gray.

We recommend you begin with the comfortable, friendly, professional and relaxing professionals at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS to get started with a tooth whitening solution that will give you the best tooth whitening results.  Gary Sasaki provides in-office BriteSmile teeth whitening.

Dentist Sasaki at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS can help you determine whether your teeth can be whitened safely and effectively. We can also recommend tooth whitening solutions that will work best for you. Gary Sasaki DDS, MS is a good place to start for this important decision.

Our office is located at 1900 Packard Rd. , Ann Arbor, Michigan 48197. Please give us a call or stop by to make an appointment to discuss your tooth whitening plans. We are eager to help you make the best decision about your tooth whitening.

Give Me Some Air

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , — @ 11:17 am

Air Abrasion Dentists How long have dentists been drilling teeth? Would you believe 9,000 years? In an ancient graveyard in Pakistan, archaeologists unearthed skulls containing teeth that had undergone drilling. The stone-age dentists removed decay using drills constructed of sharpened flint.

Though advanced dentistry would not be possible without drilling, the sound of a dental drill can make many Ann Arbor patient’s hearts pound. However, there is another way your cosmetic dentists can remove decay. This technique is known as air abrasion or drill-less dentistry. An air abrasion instrument removes material by spraying tiny aluminum oxide particles onto the tooth. The particles work like a sandblaster spraying away the affected tooth structure.

The many advantages of air abrasion make it a popular procedure for cosmetic dentists. Because air abrasion is usually pain free, the need for anesthesia is reduced. The air abrasion instrument does not create vibrations or pressure. Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that air abrasion instruments don’t produce that whiny drill sound that rings in your ears and makes your palms sweat. Because of this, air abrasion can be a less-frightening option for young dentistry patients. Air abrasion is often quicker and more precise than traditional drilling, leaving more of the healthy tooth intact.

At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we provide anxiety-free dentistry. If you would like to learn more about drill-less dentistry or  other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as dental implants, call us at 734-482-7466. We are located at 1900 Packard Rd. in Ann Arbor. The comfortable, friendly, professional and relaxing staff at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS is dedicated to your comfort and satisfaction.
