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.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Why Aren't You Smiling in Ann Arbor?" href="http://www.midentalspa.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/why-frown.jpg" alt="Ann Arbor Dentistry" align="right" /></a> Hello, I&#8217;m dentist Dr. Gary Sasaki DDS, MS. We are located at 1900 Packard Rd.  in Ann Arbor (48197), and you can reach us by calling <strong><span class="dynamic-phone-number">734-482-7466</span></strong>.</p>
<p>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 <a title="cosmetic dental Ann Arbor" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/" target="_blank">cosmetic dental</a> procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.</p>
<p>Are you one of those people who <strong>don&#8217;t want to show their teeth?</strong> I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not <strong>seeking dental treatment</strong>, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.</p>
<p>Perhaps the cost of <a title="Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/" target="_blank">Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry</a> 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 <strong>affordable dentistry</strong> than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a <a title="dental implants Ann Arbor" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/dental_implants.htm" target="_blank">dental implant</a>.</p>
<p>You can contact my office at <strong><span class="dynamic-phone-number">734-482-7466</span></strong> or online at <a title="http://www.midentalspa.com" href="http://www.midentalspa.com" target="_blank">http://www.midentalspa.com</a>. My Ann Arbor cosmetic dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.</p>
<p>I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!</p>
<p>Gary Sasaki</p>

<p><a title="Ypsilanti Teeth Whitening" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/teeth_whitening.htm" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/smiles-for-life-5.jpg" alt="3 Ways  Teeth Whitening Can Improve Lives in " align="center" /></a></p>
<p>Think about the last time someone took a photo of you. Did you show your full smile? Or, did you keep your lips closed? Did you smile the last time you met someone new? If not, would you like to change that? Teeth whitening may be the answer, and our team here at <a title="The Dental Spa" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/" target="_blank">The Dental Spa</a> can help. Patients and friends often talk to us about how teeth whitening has changed their lives!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>First</strong>, people who have had their teeth whitened talk about how much better they feel about themselves. It was amazing what a brightened smile did for one of our patients from Ann Arbor. After having her teeth whitened, she smiles more, she’s more confident, and she feels far more comfortable in all social situations.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>, overall appearance is dramatically improved. Your mouth and eyes are the main focal points of your face, and teeth whitening not only improves your smile, but also enhances other facial features as well.</p>
<p><strong>Third</strong>, a patient from Dexter told us about good things that have happened in his business since his teeth whitening. When he meets new clients, the experiences are more positive and engaging because of his confidence. A bright, attractive smile inspires trust.</p></blockquote>
<p>Make an appointment today with Dr. Gary Sasaki by clicking on the blue button and see what <a title="Ypsilanti professional whitening" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/teeth_whitening.htm" target="_blank">professional whitening</a> program can do for you!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Tooth-Colored Fillings in Ann Arbor" href="http://www.midentalspa.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_fillings.jpg" alt="Tooth-Colored Fillings in Ann Arbor" align="right" /></a> Hello! Welcome to the <a title="Gary Sasaki DDS, MS" href="http://www.midentalspa.com" target="_blank">Gary Sasaki DDS, MS</a> blog. If this is your first visit, we hope you find useful information about our <a title="Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/cosmetic_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry</a> practice.  If you have read some of our previous articles, we are glad you checked back with us. We post new articles regularly.</p>
<p>My name is Dr. Gary Sasaki, DDS, MS.  I have been practicing <a title="dentistry in Ann Arbor" href="http://www.midentalspa.com" target="_blank">dentistry in Ann Arbor</a> since 1971. The Dental Spa is a full-service dental office located at 1900 Packard Rd.,  in Ypsilanti. In addition to providing comprehensive examinations and deep cleanings for clients in the Ann Arbor area, we perform all types of <strong>tooth restorations</strong>.</p>
<p>When a tooth has decay or has been damaged, a dental restoration is needed to &#8216;restore&#8217; the tooth to its previous intact condition. A dental filling is one of the most common and well-known types of restorations. A dental filling is used to repair decayed or damaged tooth surfaces. Most people have a few fillings in their mouth.</p>
<p>If you have old silver amalgam fillings, we can replace them with nearly-invisible <a title="fillings tooth colored" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/cosmetic_dentistry.htm#tooth" target="_blank">tooth colored fillings</a>. These fillings are made out of a strong composite resin. Many of our cosmetic dentistry patients have replaced their old silver fillings with fillings matched to their teeth.  You can improve your smile instantly and relatively inexpensively by getting rid of the &#8216;metal&#8217;.</p>
<p>Another reason some clients have had their old fillings replaced is because they are concerned about the possible <strong>heavy metal toxicity</strong> of the mercury in the silver.</p>
<p>If you would like to replace your amalgam fillings, call us at <strong>734-482-7466</strong> to schedule a consultation. We are currently accepting new patients and would be happy to show you around our Ann Arbor cosmetic dental office and introduce you to our friendly team.</p>
<p><strong>Smile &#8211; it increases your face value!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Periodontal disease in Michigan is more common than you might think, and can be cured <a title="Michigan Periodontal Disease" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/index.htm" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.listpipe.com/blogimages/lp_periodonataldisease.jpg" alt="Periodontal Disease in California" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>with varying degrees of treatment depending on the severity.</p>
<p>What is <a title="periodontal disease" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/index.htm" target="_blank">periodontal disease</a>? According to an article on Wikipedia, periodontal disease is &#8216;the name of a collection of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support the teeth.&#8217;</p>
<p>Periodontal disease, more commonly called &#8216;gum disease&#8217;, is an inflammation or infection of the gums. Periodontal disease can be very painful in some extreme conditions, and can limit your ability to eat normally. In some cases, periodontal disease can affect your smile, and can create cosmetic concerns.</p>
<p>If left untreated, <a title="periodontal disease" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/index.htm" target="_blank">periodontal disease</a> can cause irreversible damage. When caught early and treated, periodontal disease can be little more than an inconvenience. However the best policy is to practice good dental hygiene to keep periodontal disease at bay.</p>
<p>One of the best ways to avoid <a title="periodontal disease" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/index.htm" target="_blank">periodontal disease</a> is to get a regular dental check up at your local Ann Arbor dentist.</p>
<p>Give us a call at <strong>(734) 482-7466</strong> to schedule your next dental checkup; we look forward to seeing you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your <a title="Ann Arbor Cosmetic Dentist" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/index.htm" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_dentstry-cosmetic.jpg" alt="Cosmetic Denistry in Hayward" align="right" /></a>other teeth are nicely shaped and pearly white, guess what other people notice? Yep, the ugly duckling. You have probably experienced that yourself when you have looked at a smile that contains one discolored tooth. No matter how hard you try, the unsightly one is impossible to ignore.</p>
<p>A <a title="Ann Arbor beautiful smile" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/" target="_blank">beautiful smile</a> is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there are several <a title="Ypsilanti cosmetic dental procedures" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/index.htm" target="_blank">cosmetic dental procedures</a> to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS in Ypsilanti we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!</p>
<p>Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry<br />
Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available in Ann Arbor at <a title="Ypsilanti Cosmetic Dentist" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Gary Sasaki DDS, MS</a>. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth. <a title="Belleville Porcelain Veneers" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/porcelain_veneers.htm" target="_blank">Porcelain veneers</a> are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.</p>
<blockquote><p>What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don&#8217;t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible with dental implants.</p></blockquote>
<p>For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, <strong>call <a title="Gary Sasaki DDS" href="http://www.midentalspa.com/porcelain_veneers.htm" target="_blank">Gary Sasaki DDS</a> at (734) 482-7466</strong>.
