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 Saline 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 Plymouth family 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 Belleville 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 air abrasion, dentistry sedation or tooth implant cost, 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.

Doctor Gary Sasaki has been restoring teeth for several years. Ongoing training is essential for staying on the cutting edge of the cosmetic dentistry industry.

Decay is the most common dental problem and the second most common disease in the nation (number one is the common cold). If you have one or more teeth with decay, it’s time to take care of them.

Fillings, inlays, onlays and dental crowns are used to restore teeth for our Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor cosmetic dental patients. Even the most basic procedure – filling a cavity – has evolved. There are several types of new materials available including porcelain and composite resin. Each has specific strengths and aesthetic considerations. Ypsilanti patients who replace silver amalgam with tooth-colored fillings love getting the metal out of their smile.

Inlays and onlays are more extensive restorations. There are two types: direct or indirect. Direct inlays and onlays are made in your Michigan cosmetic dental office on the spot and applied in one visit. Indirect inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental lab. They usually require a second visit but the results are well worth the extra trip.

When a client has a tooth that cannot be restored with an inlay or an onlay, a natural-looking dental crown is the answer. At The Dental Spa, we create dental crowns that blend in perfectly with the rest of your teeth. Let us show you some photos of patients who have received smile makeovers – you will not see any “Chiclet” crowns that stick out like a sore thumb. In fact, you won’t be able to tell which of our dental clients have dental crowns.

The Dental Spa is located at 1900 Packard Rd, Ypsilanti, MI 48197. Doctor Gary Sasaki is currently accepting new patients. Call to schedule an aesthetic dental consultation

There’s more good news for Belleville and Ann Arbor dentistry clients who want to straighten their teeth. How about ‘instant orthodontics’?

If you want immediate teeth straightening, you can smile sooner with porcelain veneers from Gary Sasaki DDS, MS!

The key to achieving a celebrity smile may be porcelain veneers for your teeth from an Ann Arbor cosmetic dentist. Dr. Gary Sasaki at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS can help you determine if porcelain veneer dentistry is for you. Ongoing education is essential for elite cosmetic dentists who work to continually provide the latest procedures and materials for their cosmetic and orthodontic clients. We can help.

In addition to correcting tooth alignment, porcelain veneers are used to whiten teeth and restore chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are attached to the front of teeth and often require no removal of healthy tooth structure. Another advantage? They are less expensive than complete crown restorations but look just as natural. -Actually, they look far better than most natural teeth!

For an instant orthodontic consultation, call Gary Sasaki DDS, MS at 734-482-7466. Porcelain veneers may be the best way for you to receive a smile makeover at a fraction of the cost.

You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the Ann Arbor area. Whether I am working with a Saline dental patient, having dinner at a Belleville restaurant, or attending a Plymouth sporting event, I notice whether the people around me smile. Whenever I encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, I want to tell them about the cosmetic dental procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.

Are you one of those people who don’t want to show their teeth? I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not seeking dental treatment, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.

Perhaps the cost of Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My comfortable, friendly, professional and relaxing staff will be happy to talk to you about financing plans. It is important to remember that if your teeth are decayed, postponing treatment will cost more money in the long run. Filling a cavity is far more affordable dentistry than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a dental implant.

You can contact my office at 734-482-7466 or online at http://www.midentalspa.com. My Ann Arbor cosmetic dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.

I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!

It used to be that in Ann Arbor you could find a dentist just by walking down to the corner of the street. Like many small towns, there would be a dentist on the corner of ‘north and main’, just up from the fire house, and across from the bakery.

Today, finding a dentist around Ann Arbor can take a little more time, and a little more effort. Our local Ann Arbor community is spread out a little more, and there is more than one option for finding a local dentist in Ann Arbor.

Let’s look at a few of the ways to find a local Ann Arbor dentist:

The old timers among us still reach for the yellow pages when we look to find a dentist in our local Ann Arbor community. The yellow pages have been a standard for dentists since the beginning, and are a quick way to get a good list of local Ann Arbor dentists.

Studies are showing an ever increasing number of Ann Arbor consumers are turning to their Internet connection to find a dentist. To find a dentist online can mean more than just a name and a phone number; many dentists, like us, have additional information on their website that will help you gain a better understanding of their practice and the services they provide.

Many people find a dentist in the Ann Arbor community through printed mailers and flyers that come to your door. Ann Arbor dentists spend a lot of money on these types of flyers, which can often carry a discount opportunity or special promotion.

The most popular method used to find a local dentist? …Word of mouth. Studies have shown that people in Ann Arbor are more willing to listen to a family member or close friend when it comes to finding a local Ann Arbor dentist.

We understand this last point, and make it our job to keep our patients happy, healthy, informed and comfortable during their visit to the dentist. We know if you leave happy, your friends and family in the Ann Arbor area will hear about us, too.

If you are looking for an Ann Arbor dentist, please give us a call. You can reach us at 734-482-7466.

If you know a friend who is trying to find a dentist in the Ann Arbor area, please pass our name along.

We look forward to seeing you both!

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Ann Arbor. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Ann Arbor dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some Saline in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.

Most Ann Arbor cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many Plymouth and Belleville clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we offer safe and effective teeth bleaching. Our Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at 734-482-7466.

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.
