Advanced Dentistry in Ypsilanti

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry,Dental Crowns,Porcelain Veneers — Tags: , , , , — @ 6:36 pm

The world of dentistry continues to advance at a rapid pace. If you have visited a Yipsilanti dentist in the past few years, you have probably noticed the things that make your visit more comfortable, such as the ability to watch TV or listen to music while receiving treatment.

What may not be as obvious are the advances in techniques, tools and materials. Top Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti dentists now use digital computer imaging which is safer than traditional x-rays. Dental technicians can store, retrieve and transmit digital images much easier than was possible with traditional x-ray film.

The use of air abrasion has created the opportunity for drill-less dentistry for cosmetic and restorative dental patients.

Another exciting development in cosmetic dentistry is the CAD-CAM technology that allows Ann Arbor cosmetic dentists to perform restorations in a single visit. The types of procedures that can be completed in one visit include crowns, fillings, inlays, onlays and veneers.

If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, call Gary Sasaki DDS, MS at (734) 482-7466 to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, you can see before and after photos of some of our smile makeover clients. We would love to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted, and we have the tools, experience and technology to make that happen.

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Ypsilanti

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry,Dental Crowns,Dental Implants,Porcelain Veneers,Smile Makeover,Teeth Whitening — Tags: , , , , , — @ 12:16 am

Each separate restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedure performed in Ypsilanti Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Fremontcan address a specific dental problem. For example, a porcelain veneer can perfect the surface of a tooth that is discolored or slightly misshapen. Dental bonding can fill a small chip in an otherwise healthy tooth.

Some Ann Arbor dental problems are more extensive and require a combination of procedures. Crown restoration combined with soft tissue grafts can restore a severely decayed tooth with the root exposed. A bone graft and dental implant can restore a missing tooth in an area where the jaw bone has receded. Orthodontia followed by tooth bleaching totally transforms a smile by straightening and whitening.

What is the difference between tooth bleaching and whitening? Whitening is the term for procedures which remove surface stains to restore the degree of natural lightness. Bleaching goes even further by lightening teeth beyond their natural shade. That’s right: you don’t have to resign yourself to yellow teeth even if they have been that way your whole life! The natural shade of your teeth, by the way, like your skin and hair color, is determined by genetics.

Some Michigan smiles have been gleaming for years by regular whitening. You can maintain the whiteness of your teeth just as you maintain your fitness level. (Of course it is a lot easier to make a quick visit to your Ypsilanti dentist once a year for whitening touch-ups than sweating in a gym several times a week!)

We live in an age where severe dental problems can be permanently corrected. You don’t have to participate in a TV makeover show in Hollywood to access these premium cosmetic dental procedures. They are available right here in Ypsilanti. Dr. Gary Sasaki DDS, MS has the same advanced training and extensive experience as the dentists who keep the smiles of famous actors and musicians camera-ready.

Schedule a consultation at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS to discover the perfect combination of procedures to achieve your ultimate smile. Our phone number is (734) 482-7466.

Saving Teeth in Ann Arbor

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry,Dental Crowns — Tags: , , , — @ 11:16 pm

When a tooth is threatened by severe decay, periodontal disease, or damage from anRoot Canals in Fremont injury, a skilled Ann Arbor dentist or endodontist must make a judgment call concerning the course of treatment. If the pulp of the tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth.

Gary Sasaki DDS, MS: (734) 482-7466

During a root canal procedure (or endodontic treatment) the soft tissue in the root of the tooth is removed. This tissue contains veins, arteries and lymph vessels. Once the roots are cleaned out and widened, they are filled with a special rubber material. The root canal is only the first step in the complete tooth restoration. After the root canal, without a crown, the tooth will become dry and brittle. The final steps are the core build up and crown.

At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with the surrounding teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to a Ypsilanti dentist, a tooth with a filled root can often function problem-free for the rest of a patient’s life.

I am Dentist Dr. Gary Sasaki. I have been practicing dentistry since 1971. During that time I have seen hundreds of teeth saved by this effective dental procedure. Root canal therapy at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS in Ypsilanti has a very high success rate.

Because teeth with infected pulp tissue often cause no symptoms, it is important to have regular dental examinations. I can determine which (if any) teeth have infected roots. If the infection in the soft pulp tissue is left untreated, it can progress to a point where the tooth cannot be saved. Is it time for a thorough dental exam? Call our office at (734) 482-7466.

Call Gary Sasaki DDS, MS immediately if one of your teeth is screaming for attention!

Gummy Smile?

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry,Dental Crowns,Restorative Dentistry,Teeth Whitening — Tags: , , — @ 12:33 am

Gummy Smile? Many Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry patients with a gummy smile undergo crown lengthening surgery to bring proper balance and symmetry to their smile. Gum tissue and, in some cases, bone is removed to expose more of the visible part of a tooth. It is a safe procedure that does not affect healthy tooth structure.

A ‘gummy smile’ is a term used to describe a smile with teeth that appear too short because an unusual amount of bone and soft tissue hide part of the crown. Our Ann Arbor cosmetic dental patients who have opted for crown lengthening love how their new perfect smile looks and feels. Some of our crown lengthening clients also choose teeth whitening for an extra-dazzling smile!

Crown lengthening is not used solely for cosmetic reasons. When a tooth is injured and breaks at the gum line or if a filling or crown comes off a tooth that contains decay, crown lengthening makes additional tooth structure accessible for further restorative work. It is also used to treat some types of periodontal disease .

At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS , we perform cosmetic and restorative crown lengthening for patients in the Ann Arbor area. The surgery can be performed by a general dentist , periodontist or oral surgeon.

If you are interested in crown lengthening or other cosmetic dental procedures and live in the Ann Arbor, area, schedule an exam with Dr. Gary Sasaki by calling 734-482-7466 . We are conveniently located at 1900 Packard Rd. in Ann Arbor. When you come in, we can show you before and after photos of Michigan cosmetic dentistry clients who are enjoying their new smile.

Restoring Smiles at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS in Ann Arbor

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry,Dental Crowns,Porcelain Veneers — Tags: , , — @ 3:28 pm

Restoring Smiles at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS in Ann Arbor A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS , we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many Ann Arbor smiles better than they ever were before!

Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that are attached to the front of one of more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both.

Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.

Some of our Michigan dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, come on in; we’ll help you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile.
