Your Best Smile Dentistry Blog for Michigan

Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your 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.

A beautiful smile 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.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Szalai & Szalai DDS, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!

Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry

Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available at Szalai & Szalai DDS located in Allen Park. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.

What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible with dental implants.

For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Szalai & Szalai DDS at 313-928-2323. We are conveniently located at 5329 Allen Road, Allen Park, MI. We provide advanced dentistry for patients in Detroit, Dearborn, Taylor and the surrounding areas. We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before and after’ pictures.

Hello, we are Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai DDS. Our dental practice is called Szalai & Szalai DDS. We are located at 5329 Allen Road, Allen Park, MI (48101), and you can reach us by calling 313-928-2323.

You can probably imagine why we look at smiles everywhere we go in the Detroit area. Whether we are working with a Taylor dental patient, having dinner at a Dearborn restaurant, or attending a Southgate sporting event, we notice whether the people around us smile. Whenever we encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, we 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? We would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not seeking dental treatment, we can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.

Perhaps the cost of Allen Park cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. Our caring and professional 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 our office at 313-928-2323 or online at http://www.AllenParkDentists.com/. Our Allen Park family dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and cosmetic services we provide.

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

Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai

If you are looking for an Allen Park Dentist, I invite you to give Szalai & Szalai DDS a try. We are very comfortable and friendly, and caring. Give us a call at 313-928-2323, or visit us on our website at http://www.allenparkdentists.com.

Ill-fitting dentures cause more problems for Allen Park denture wearers than they solve. If you live with loose dentures, you probably regard them as a necessary evil. Though they certainly look better than a toothless mouth, in practical terms they leave much to be desired because they affect two essential activities: eating and talking.

Unfortunately, many frustrated denture wearers have quit dining in restaurants or engaging in social activities because they are afraid their dentures will slip.

Implant dental procedures at Szalai & Szalai DDS in Allen Park are allowing former Dearborn denture patients to re-engage in life.

Consider the advantages of implant anchored dentures:

• They are stable because the implant is anchored in the bone.
• Your denture is fixed, it will not move around in your mouth.
• They prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are removed.
• They eliminate the necessity of regular denture relines.
• They do not irritate gums.
• No denture adhesive is required.

Our dental implant bone clients who have replaced their traditional dentures with implant overdentures enthusiastically say that the dental implant cost was more than worth it.

Do you want to eat normally again? What is the value of maintaining your facial shape? Can you put a price on confidence?

If you want more information about dental implants, call 313-928-2323 to schedule an implant tooth consultation with Dr. Szalai. Szalai & Szalai DDS is located at 5329 Allen Road, Allen Park, MI 48101. We have been providing advanced dental care for several years.

Allen Park’s Cosmetic Dentistry Expert

What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Allen Park?

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Detroit. 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. Allen Park dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some Taylor 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 Allen Park 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 Southgate and Dearborn clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Szalai & Szalai DDS, we offer safe and effective teeth bleaching. Our Allen Park 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 313-928-2323.

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 Drs Greg & Joanne Szalai at Szalai & Szalai DDS have as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Drs. Szalai have been providing smile makeovers for Allen Park and Dearborn dental clients for several years. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure in Allen Park. Tooth bleaching quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Allen Park and Taylor cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad 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 crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Szalai & Szalai DDS. Schedule an Allen Park cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 313-928-2323. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

If you want to straighten your teeth or correct a bite problem, you have more orthodontic options in Detroit than ever before. The current menu of orthodontic treatments requires a whole new glossary. Here are some of the common orthodontia terms heard around Southgate and Allen Park.

Invisible Braces
These braces are just as effective at realigning adult teeth as the traditional ‘metal and wires’ kind but are almost completely hidden. Many Allen Park adults and teens who straighten their teeth choose this type of orthodontia.

Invisible braces work great for many Allen Park braces patients. To find out if adult braces are the best type for your teeth, lifestyle and budget, schedule an orthodontic consultation at Szalai & Szalai DDS by calling 313-928-2323. We can help you determine which type of adults braces system is right for you and your smile.

Traditional and Clear Retainers
Once a Detroit clear braces or traditional braces patient has completed treatment, retainers must be worn regularly to keep the beautiful straight teeth in their corrected position. There are several types of retainers available for Allen Park cosmetic dental patients. The time-tested Hawley retainer consists of a metal wire that surrounds the teeth and keeps them from shifting. The metal wire is attached to a molded acrylic form that fits snugly in the upper mouth (palate) or lower mouth.

Clear retainers are newer on the Taylor orthodontic scene. They cover the teeth like a see-through glove and do not need metal bows or clasps. Some Dearborn retainer wearers believe clear retainers are more comfortable than Hawley retainers.

You don’t need to suffer with a mouth full of metal to get the beautiful teeth you are seeking. Let us help you develop a custom treatment plan for your smile.

There is a tooth connection that links osteoporosis and oral health. If you are a woman, you have probably heard about the high rate of osteoporosis in America, including Allen Park. The state of Michigan is no exception. Osteoporosis can often progress without any outward symptoms. However, there may be clues in a person’s mouth that indicate compromised bones in the rest of the body.

The following dental and periodontal issues could indicate the presence of osteoporosis:

• Gum detachment
• Ill-fitting dentures
• Jaw bone recession and erosion
• Difficulty with ordinary mouth function such as eating or speaking

There are many Detroit dental professionals that can determine the presence of bone deterioration with x-rays and other diagnostic tools. If we suspect the possibility of osteoporosis, we can refer you to a local medical professional, whether you live in Dearborn, Taylor or Southgate.

The experienced dentists at Szalai & Szalai DDS are trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the oral health problems sometimes associated with osteoporosis. Schedule a consultation in Allen Park by calling 313-928-2323 and we can discuss your dental concerns. While you are here, we can also tell you about the cosmetic dental services we provide. Aesthetic dentistry continues to improve smiles for our friends and neighbors in the Detroit area.

If you suspect you may be suffering from osteoporosis, please see your physician right away. While your dentist can help identify some of the symptoms associated with osteoporosis, you should not rely on your dentist to provide a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
