Koch Aesthetic Dentistry Birmingham Alabama – Blog

There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Mountain Brook men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Birmingham. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a Vestavia Hills, Crestline wedding, Homewood party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Hoover teeth bleaching can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Birmingham cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Homewood whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Mountain Brook tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Mountain Brook tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Hoover tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching in Birmingham is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Poorly aligned teeth? Think it takes forever for braces to straighten them? Think again. There are many new types of braces available in Birmingham. In some cases, teeth can be straightened in a few months and then, with braces off–a fantastic new smile.

If you are considering straightening your teeth, come into Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Birmingham for an orthodontic consultation. We can discuss the new types of braces. Dr. J. Paul Koch, DMD, will explain the pros and cons of each type and recommend the most effective (and quickest!) system for your teeth.

The first things most adult Mountain Brook teeth-straightening clients ask about are the newer systems, sometimes called clear braces and adults braces. Invisalign and damon braces are two brand names of alternative orthodontic systems popular in Vestavia Hills, Crestline and Homewood. Many of our adult orthodontic patients have been embarrassed by their crooked teeth for many years and have developed a habit of covering their mouth when they smile. It is great to see them smiling confidently after they have completed treatment.

Younger clients usually have a different attitude about braces. They seem to consider braces more like a fashion accessory and are not afraid to show them off. Mountain Brook area teens are interested in color braces and colored rubber bands braces. During orthodontic consultations, they usually ask about the possibility of a clear retainer to maintain teeth alignment after their braces have done their job.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we restore decayed teeth to create smiles that are both healthy and beautiful. Recent advances in both techniques and materials have made the ‘impossible’ not only possible, but affordable for everyone in Birmingham as well.

Doctor Dr. J. Paul Koch has been restoring teeth since 2000. Ongoing training is essential for staying on the cutting edge of the cosmetic dentistry industry.

Decay is the most common Birmingham 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 crowns are used to restore teeth for our Mountain Brook 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. Birmingham 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 Vestavia Hills, Crestline cosmetic dental office on the spot and applied in one visit. Indirect inlays and onlays are fabricated in a Vestavia Hills, Crestline dental lab. They usually require a second visit but the results are well worth the extra trip.

When a Mountain Brook client has a tooth that cannot be restored with an inlay or an onlay, a natural-looking crown is the answer. At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we create 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 Birmingham dental clients have crowns.

Koch Aesthetic Dentistry is located at 2311 Highland Avenue, Suite 323 in Birmingham. Doctor Dr. J. Paul Koch is currently accepting new patients. Call 205-202-8618 to schedule an aesthetic dental consultation

Remember when Mountain Brook adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment were mortified by their metal mouth? Thankfully, those days are over. The Birmingham teens of today wear their braces proudly and make no effort to hide them. They know they don’t need to wait until their teeth are aligned to flaunt a striking smile; they enjoy flashing their brightly-colored braces in all their glory.

Another plus? Just as they mix and match their clothes and shoes, teens can change their wires and bands every time they visit their Vestavia Hills, Crestline dentist or orthodontist. Braces have become another fun way for Homewood and Hoover fashion-forward teens to express their personality.

Of course, there are still some kids (and many adults!) that are not thrilled about having metallic fuchsia bands and neon yellow wires adorning their teeth. Discrete Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable and straighten teeth just as quickly and effectively as metal braces. Another benefit of the Invisalign system is that the aligners are not permanently attached to the teeth. Invisalign aligners are easily slipped out for brushing, flossing, meals, and sports. If your Birmingham child plays a musical instrument that defies traditional braces, removable aligners may be the best option.
