How Do You Measure Success in Birmingham?

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Affordable Mountain Brook Tooth Bleaching At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we are all about success. Dr. J. Paul Koch’s experience, ability, and commitment to dental excellence result in successful outcomes daily for our cosmetic dentistry clients. Each team member at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry shares Dr. Koch’s passion for success.

For many Birmingham dental patients, success is a routine check-up that reveals healthy teeth and no cavities. For our cosmetic dental clients, success is a stunning smile makeover using veneers, teeth whitening and tooth-colored fillings. For our Birmingham area patients with a missing tooth, dental implants are used to successfully restore their smile. It is exciting to see implant recipients smile for the first time after receiving their new tooth implant.

We also enjoy completing successful tooth-straightening procedures for youth and adults. Though these transformations take longer than one-visit smile re-designs, the results are no less incredible. In fact, our Birmingham clear braces patients probably appreciate their straight teeth and beautiful smile more than any of our other patients.

Success sometimes means removing tetracycline stains for a Birmingham teeth bleaching patient who has been hiding his/her smile for years. Sometimes, success is as simple as helping a nervous patient feel relaxed and comfortable during their visit to our Birmingham cosmetic and sedation dentistry office.

What do you desire for your smile? At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, our success depends on your complete smile satisfaction.

Koch Aesthetic Dentistry Smile Makeovers: It’s Not Just About Your Teeth

Koch Aesthetic Dentistry Smile Makeovers Its Not Just About Your Teeth

I have been creating spectacular smiles at my Birmingham cosmetic dental practice since 2000. Each one of my smile makeover clients values their new smile almost as much as I value their trust.

My loyal patients, along with my dedicated dental team, have made my professional career particularly rewarding.

Working as a cosmetic dentist in Birmingham is more than just a job. Likewise, a smile makeover is more than straight, white, beautiful teeth – though that’s a big deal in itself!

My Birmingham area cosmetic and laser dentistry clients report that their new smile affects many areas of their life. Some have noticed increased effectiveness in their profession. Others enjoy a richer social life because they are now able to smile, laugh, and eat without self-consciousness.

One of my patients who had been embarrassed by his damaged teeth for years says his new youthful smile has given him greater confidence and ambition.

Hello, I’m Dr. J. Paul Koch of Koch Aesthetic Dentistry. At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we expertly perform the most advanced cosmetic dental procedures available including teeth whitening, clear braces, dental crowns and bridges, and porcelain veneers. We also provide dental implants as an alternative to dentures.

Only need a cleaning? Our hygienists perform the most thorough deep cleanings for our clients whose healthy smiles need nothing else.

If you don’t currently have a dentist, we invite you to visit our Birmingham cosmetic dentistry practice and discuss your dental goals. To schedule an exam, cleaning, or consultation, contact us today at 205-202-8618.

To Chew Or Not To Chew In Birmingham

To Chew Or Not To Chew In Birmingham

Hello Birmingham gum chewers, today we’re going to talk about that sticky wad in your mouth. You know that it can freshen your breath, but can it really help prevent cavities? That’s the question we’re asking in today’s Birmingham cosmetic dental blog.

It really depends on the type of gum. Chewing regular sucrose-based gum can help remove bits of food from the surface of teeth, but that benefit is negated by the stream of sugar washing over your teeth as you chew.

However, gums with some alternative sweeteners have an added benefit for your pearly whites. Xylitol is a sweetener which not only has fewer calories than traditional sugars, but it also has antimicrobial properties that reduce plaque buildup. This means that xylitol inhibits the growth of bacteria that causes tooth decay.

So if you’re headed out to any restaurants in the Birmingham area, bring a pack of sugar-free gum with you and pop it in your mouth when your meal is done. Of course, brushing and flossing are a better option for your oral health, but when you can’t brush, choose a sugarless gum with xylitol to chew.

I’m Dr. J. Paul Koch, a cosmetic and sedation dentist in Birmingham. I want my patients to have the best oral health possible. My practice, Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, is located at 2311 Highland Ave S, Ste 323.

If you have any questions about how to improve your oral health, or if you would like to learn more about any of our cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and complete smile makeovers, give us a call today at 205-202-8618.

We specialize in cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and clear braces. Our staff is passionate about your smile, your comfort and your professional care. Give us a call today to set an appointment!

Artistic Smile Makeovers At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Artistic Smile Masterpieces At Allan S. Thomas, Cosmetic & General Dentistry

Hello Birmingham friends of Koch Aesthetic Dentistry! Thanks for stopping by the ultimate cosmetic dentistry blog. Today we are talking about personal transformation. Many Birmingham men and women want to reinvent themselves in at least one aspect of their life.

Some Birmingham people are training for a new career. Some local men and women have made a healthy lifestyle a priority by making better food choices and working out on a regular basis. Some Birmingham people are dedicating more attention to their personal relationships.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, Dr. Paul Koch skillfully uses advanced cosmetic dentistry to transform lucky patients with complete smile makeovers.

A comprehensive smile redesign involves more than applying four or six porcelain veneers to the upper front teeth. Though veneers can dramatically improve a smile, a complete smile makeover is a total smile transformation.

Dr. Koch evaluates the condition, size, shape, alignment, and color of the teeth. These elements are created, meticulously refined, and integrated in perfect harmony. The procedures Dr. Koch adeptly uses are dental crowns, inlays/onlays, clear braces, dental veneers, teeth whitening, and dental implants.

Like any artistic masterpiece, a perfect smile is far more than the sum of its parts.

If you have a vision for your smile, it can become a reality at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry. Schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation today at our dental spa by calling 205-202-8618 or visiting http://www.kochaesthetics.com/meetdrkoch.htm.

Aching Jaw In Birmingham?

Tooth Pain? Talk To Your Cosmetic Dentist In Birmingham

Hi. I’m Dr. J. Paul Koch, and today in the Birmingham cosmetic dentistry blog, I want to look at some of the conditions that may result in jaw pain.

Jaw pain may be caused by sinusitis. Sinusitis is the inflammation of the tissues that line your sinuses, and when these tissues are inflamed, the sinuses exert pressure on surrounding areas. If the inflamed sinus is near the jaw, pain in the jaw joint may result. This commonly happens following a cold or when someone suffers from allergies.

Many of my Birmingham patients who come to me with jaw pain have some type of dental problem, such as an infection or a problem in the temporomandibular joint (also known as TMJ).

The source of jaw pain can easily be identified at your Birmingham cosmetic dental office, and treatment can begin from there. But remember, jaw pain shouldn’t be ignored.

If you are looking for quality dental care around the Birmingham Alabama area, please consider Koch Aesthetic Dentistry. I have been serving the greater Birmingham area since 2000. If you have any questions about oral health or any cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, or dental implants, give us a call today at 205-202-8618.
