Help Me Ann Arbor; I’m Afraid Of The Dentist!

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , — @ 9:37 am

Ypsilanti Sleep Dentistry If you are afraid of your Ann Arbor cosmetic dentist, you are not alone. At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we encounter many nervous first-time Ann Arbor dental patients. How do we calm their fears, provide a comfortable dental environment and earn lifelong clients?

1) We carefully explain the findings of the initial dental examination and thoroughly outline any recommended procedures. The consultation also includes a discussion about pain control. This allows our Ann Arbor dentistry clients to make informed decisions about their oral health and necessary dental procedures.

2) Dr. Gary Sasaki practices gentle, pain-free dentistry. Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry treatment will not begin until you are numb. Keep in mind, however, that every dentistry patient reacts to numbing agents differently.

Speak up quickly if you start to feel discomfort. We will pause treatment, administer additional analgesic and wait until it takes effect. At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we never rush cosmetic dental or restorative procedures.

We will do our best to make you comfortable, whether you are receiving dental veneers, undergoing crown-lengthening treatment, having your teeth whitened, or replacing your old silver fillings.

3) We provide many in-office amenities in our dental spa at Gary Sasaki DDS, MS  which help our dental patients focus on something pleasant during cosmetic dental treatment. Sometimes chemical-free diversions such as listening to your favorite music provide a diversion while letting you remain clear-headed.

At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we understand dental anxiety and will help you overcome it. We are located at 1900 Packard Rd in Ypsilanti, 48197.

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in Ann Arbor

Filed under: Porcelain Veneers — Tags: , , , — @ 8:21 pm

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in Ann Arbor Veneers have myriad applications in Ann Arbor cosmetic smile dentistry. With dental veneers, you can transform your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Is your tooth enamel worn and thin? Tooth-colored porcelain veneers have the translucency of healthy tooth enamel. Many Ann Arbor dental clients have received veneers to cover worn enamel. Some believe they look twenty years younger!

Have your teeth developed uneven edges? Tooth grinding, natural wear and other factors can roughen tooth edges. Veneers are a minimally invasive correction for uneven tooth edges. Veneers are a popular treatment for Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry patients.

Do you have chips or cracks in your teeth? If your teeth are otherwise healthy, veneers provide a flawless tooth surface. Are your teeth yellow or gray? Veneers can fix that, too. Veneers can be fabricated in any shade to perk up your smile while still blending naturally with your skin tones.

Porcelain veneers are paper-thin, tooth-shaped covers that are affixed to the front of teeth. Traditional veneers required the removal of a thin layer of tooth structure. Prepless veneers are applied to unaltered teeth.

Veneers are strong, natural looking and one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures in Saline and Plymouth. Veneers are usually far less expensive than complete dental crowns, yet they are just as strong and beautiful.

Ann Arbor aesthetic dentists love veneers because they correct a multitude of tooth problems. At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we would be happy to show you what veneers can do for you.

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.

Porcelain Veneers

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry,Porcelain Veneers — Tags: , , , — @ 2:12 am

Porcelain Veneers With porcelain veneers, you can revamp your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that are attached to the front of your teeth. Porcelain has been used in dentistry for many years because no other restorative material is such an excellent match for natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is translucent and can be matched to the color of any tooth. It is stronger than enamel and resists stains. Dental ceramists who fabricate porcelain veneers are both artists and technicians. They create beautiful paper-thin wafers that adhere to teeth, correcting chips and stains. Porcelain veneers can also straighten crooked teeth for patients who don’t need orthodontic work.

Patients who receive porcelain veneers appreciate the less-invasive process of enhancing their smile. Newer techniques require no removal of healthy tooth enamel.

We would be happy to show you what dental veneers can do for your smile at our Ypsilanti dental office.

Gary Sasaki DDS, MS is located at 1900 Packard Rd. in Ann Arbor. We provide skilled dental care for patients in the greater Ann Arbor area. Our phone number is 734-482-7466.
