Koch Aesthetic Dentistry Birmingham Alabama – Blog

Most Alabama residents have plenty of things to smile about.

However, there are some folks who avoid smiling at all costs. Are you one of those people who cover their mouth when they laugh? Do you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you? Have you been hiding unsightly teeth for years?

It’s time to take care of those tooth problems and get a new lease on life.

Dr. Paul Koch at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Alabama can make it happen!

If you are missing one or more teeth, and live in Alabama, talk to us about dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that includes both root and dental crown. Because it is anchored into the jawbone, it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Are your teeth yellow or gray? Have teeth whitening done at our Alabama dental practice and experience an instant transformation.

Many of your Alabama friends and neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. They correct several types of imperfections and can be applied in just one visit to our Alabama cosmetic dental office.

“Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond.”
-Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605

When Cervantes wrote Don Quixote, there was no way to replace teeth that were lost to trauma or decay. We are fortunate to live here in Birmingham at a time where there is a permanent replacement for missing teeth-the amazing dental implant.

A dental implant, or tooth implant, is anchored into the jaw bone. It does not slide around like a removable denture. It functions just like a natural tooth.

With a dental implant, you can talk, chew, and brush like normal. Eat that steak. Laugh out loud. Sing at the top of your lungs!

The dental implant procedure available in Birmingham is not an experimental treatment. Dental implants have been available for many years. You can be sure that the implant dentistry procedure has been fully tested and tweaked to perfection. The success rate for dental implants in Birmingham is almost one hundred percent.

If you have a missing tooth and want to get a tooth implant, it is important to choose an experienced Birmingham cosmetic dental specialist to perform your implant procedure. To schedule a dental implant or cosmetic dentistry consultation, call 205-202-8618.

A Birmingham dental implant is a strong and beautiful tooth replacement that, incidentally, costs much less than a diamond of similar size. (See the quote at the beginning of this article.) To discuss financing options, contact our office.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer the full spectrum of restorative, cosmetic, and general dental services. If you need sedation dentistry to put you at ease or a precision smile design artist, we invite you to meet Dr. J. Paul Koch, DMD.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we are committed to providing superior dental care for patients from 12 to 95.

Hello Birmingham cosmetic dental friends. Today’s topic is ‘The Dangers Of Smokeless Tobacco’.

Cigarette sales at most Birmingham stores have decreased in the past decade, but some Birmingham tobacco consumers have switched to smokeless products.

There is a common misconception in the Birmingham area (especially among teens) that smokeless tobacco is harmless. This is absolutely not true. Regardless of the specific type: spit tobacco, snuff, chew, or pinch, this form of tobacco is as deadly as conventional cigarettes.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we encounter serious consequences of smokeless tobacco use because many occur in the mouth. Oral cancer, mouth lesions, gum disease and tooth decay are the most common dental problems caused by smokeless tobacco in this state.

Keeping a pinch between your cheek and gum all day is worse than keeping an all-day sucker. The tobacco contains almost as much sugar as the candy but delivers harmful chemicals as an added bonus. The dangers are two-fold: the tobacco erodes the teeth and also causes the gums to pull away from teeth. This can lead to the need for costly restorative dentistry procedures such as dental implants or laser dentistry.

Precancerous Mouth Lesion Screening in Birmingham: Mouth Lesions are painful sores that could eventually become cancer. If smokeless tobacco use is stopped, the lesions often disappear within a year for Birmingham dental patients.

Oral Cancer in Birmingham: Smokeless tobacco use in Birmingham increases the risk for several types of life-threatening cancers including those of the mouth, gums, lips, tongue, and throat.

Oral cancers can be as deadly as lung cancer and usually require surgery. If the sedation dentistry patient is fortunate and the cancer is successfully removed with surgery, the collateral damage to the face, neck, or jaw is not pretty.

These are the main dental risks of smokeless tobacco. I should also mention two other biggies: addiction and heart disease, though those are topics for another day.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Birmingham, we want to help you keep your mouth as healthy as possible. To schedule an appointment, call 205-202-8618.

If want to quit using smokeless tobacco products, we recommend that you consult Dr. Koch at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, your Birmingham primary care doctor, or your Birmingham pharmacist.

Are you considering a smile makeover in the Birmingham area? Are you skeptical of promises of a ‘perfect smile’, a ‘celebrity smile’ or ‘a dazzling, youthful smile’? Let’s talk about the most popular Birmingham cosmetic dental procedures and the results that can be expected.

Composite Veneers
The application of porcelain veneers at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry can remedy a multitude of aesthetic dental problems and is often a better cosmetic dental solution for candidates in the Birmingham area than dental bonding. Veneers can correct tooth chips, tooth cracks, minor tooth misalignment, discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size. Can a porcelain veneer create a perfect tooth? While a veneer cannot fix a decayed tooth, it can turn an unsightly tooth into an aesthetically perfect tooth.

Tooth Bleaching
Birmingham tooth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment that dramatically improves a smile. However, some tooth whitening dentists will guarantee fantastic results for any patient that desires a whiter smile. At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Birmingham, we only recommend tooth bleaching for clients that are good candidates for the process. If you have all-natural teeth that are dull or stained, tooth whitening will brighten your smile. If you have several dental crowns in the front of your mouth, or gums that have receded, conventional tooth-whitening may not improve your smile.

Call 205-202-8618 to schedule a tooth-whitening consultation.

These are just a couple of the cosmetic dental solutions that create perfect smiles for our Birmingham clients. You can see a complete list of our services at http://www.KochAesthetics.com.
