Cosmetic Dentistry In Alabama Allows You To Smile Like You Mean It

Hello Alabama friends! Have you ever noticed someone who refuses to flash a genuine smile? Even in a family picture, they stay tight-lipped. Even if they’re laughing at the funniest joke ever, they cover their mouths. Maybe this person is you and maybe you need a smile makeover.

Don’t be embarrassed! Here at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry we specialize in cosmetic dentistry procedures for our Birmingham area patients. There are diverse reasons a dental patient could be shy about their smile, such as injury, tooth discoloration, poor spacing, or missing teeth. But chances are, there is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that can help.

Wouldn’t it be great to have the confident smile you’ve always wanted?

Many patients start with teeth whitening to get them on their way to a brighter smile. This is a simple procedure, but the results are dramatic.

Other options to improve the look of your teeth include dental implants, veneers, crowns, enamel shaping, bonding, and more! We can also refer you to a local orthodontist if necessary.

I’m Dr. J. Paul Koch and I am passionate about helping my patients have healthy teeth and beautiful smiles. If you would like to know more about smile makeovers in the Birmingham area, give us a call at 205-202-8618 and our passionate staff can answer any questions you have and schedule an appointment.

Call today to get a smile you’ll never want to hide!

Re-Contour Your Teeth At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry

Friday, March 22nd, 2013

Laser Dentistry For A Beautiful New Smile In Birmingham

If your crooked, discolored teeth keep you from smiling and you feel like there is nothing you can do about it please give me a call! My name is Dr. J. Paul Koch and my staff and I at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry have been giving the people of Birmingham something to smile about since 2000.

If you are disappointed with the smile mother nature gave you, let me help you create the smile of your dreams. New procedures and materials now make it possible to completely revamp and restyle your mouth in Alabama.

If your teeth are uneven, Koch Aesthetic Dentistry has several options to correct that. We can re-contour your teeth by removing a small portion of your enamel to change the length or shape of your tooth. If more is required to improve your smile we can offer you dental veneers or bonding.

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are permanently attached to the fronts of your teeth, correcting any imperfections. They last much longer than dental bonding and preserve more natural tooth structure than dental crowns.

Many Alabama resident’s teeth have become discolored by drinking colas, tea, or coffee. If you have stained or discolored teeth and dream of having pearly white teeth then check out the many teeth whitening options at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry.

Stop hiding behind a timid smile. Take charge and let Koch Aesthetic Dentistry create a confident, beautiful smile.

Ask us about smile restoration, cosmetic and recontructive dentistry, and dental implants.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the accessibility of state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry in the Birmingham Alabama area.

Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry In Birmingham

Friday, February 8th, 2013

General Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry In Birmingham Hello, I’m Dr. Paul Koch. Welcome to my Birmingham cosmetic dentistry blog. Today’s article focuses on the difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

General dentists in Birmingham are dedicated to preventing and treating oral disease such as cavities and gum disease. When a problem is diagnosed, let’s say, a cavity between two teeth, a general dentist will assess the best way to restore the tooth involved.

Birmingham cosmetic dentists perform elective dental procedures that make a smile more attractive. Cosmetic dentistry procedures available at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Birmingham include teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, dental bonding, veneers, inlays, onlays, and dental crowns.

Some Birmingham dentists, like myself, offer both cosmetic and general dentistry procedures. In some cases, there is a cosmetic component to restorative procedures. For example, if a Birmingham dental patient comes in after receiving an injury that chipped a front tooth, the tooth needs to be restored to prevent decay. The tooth is also less structurally sound, so it is vulnerable to further damage. In addition, the tooth affects the overall appearance of the smile. Depending on the specifics of the damage, there are several of restorative options. Dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and crowns are all used to repair a damaged tooth.

As you can see, there is not always a definitive line between general and cosmetic dentistry. At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, my passionate team provides the full spectrum of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental procedures. We treat Birmingham area patients of all ages: from toddlers just beginning to get their baby teeth to mature clients who remember the days when many people were afraid of dentists and their whiny drills. (Some of our wonderful elderly patients have dental crowns that are twice as old as our hygienists.)

Experienced Birmingham dental professionals who perform pediatric, general, orthodontic, and cosmetic dental procedures can meet all of your families’ dental needs.

If you are looking for a full-service dental practice in the Birmingham Alabama area, I invite you to come into Koch Aesthetic Dentistry. We are located at 2311 Highland Ave S, Ste 323. To schedule an oral examination or smile makeover consultation, call 205-202-8618.

Teeth: What Have They Done For You Lately?

Friday, January 18th, 2013

Cosmetic Dentistry Birmingham

Welcome to the Birmingham dental blog! Today we are going to look at the secret life of our teeth.

The shape of each tooth gives a clue to what it does. The incisors, or your front teeth, are sharp. They need to be because they are there to cut food and their curvature helps move food inside the mouth.

Behind the incisors, you find the canine teeth. Their roots go far into the jaw bone because they are designed to hold onto food and tear through it.

Premolars, found just behind the canines, are flat on the surface. This allows them to crush your food as you chew. And, finally, in the very back are the molars. They are large and have nice, flat chewing surfaces that help them to grind food down into smaller, more digestible pieces.

I’m Dr. J. Paul Koch, a Birmingham cosmetic dentist, and I hope you’ve enjoyed learning a little more about the different teeth in your mouth.
If you are in the Birmingham area and would like to make an appointment at my practice, Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, please give us a call at 205-202-8618. We can schedule an appointment and tell you about cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening and dental implants.

If you’ve ever been interested in a smile makeover, come on in and we’ll discuss the possibilities. I want my Birmingham dental patients to have healthy mouths and beautiful smiles. At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer comprehensive dental services including:

cosmetic dentistry
dental implants
porcelain veneers

Look For The Seal In Alabama

Friday, January 11th, 2013

Cosmetic Dentistry Alabama

When you go to an Alabama drugstore or supermarket looking for toothpaste, mouthwash, teeth whitener, or other oral care product, make sure that it carries the seal of the American Dental Association. The seal is there to help you make the best choices you can for the products you need to keep your mouth clean and healthy.

The American Dental Association (or ADA) only places their seal on a product after it has been evaluated to be safe as well as effective. This usually means that companies have to meet standards even higher than those required by law.

Making sure to purchase products with the seal is practically like shopping with your Alabama cosmetic dentist or dental hygienist right by your side!

Hi, I’m Dr. J. Paul Koch of Koch Aesthetic Dentistry. We serve cosmetic dental patients in Alabama. We take pride in caring for our patients and, like the ADA, want you to have a healthy, beautiful smile. Many of our patients wonder if a smile makeover is right for them. If you’d like to know, schedule an appointment and we’ll take a look!

We specialize in

205-202-8618 and a member of our passionate staff can get you in to see us and answer any questions you might have about veneers, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, and more.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Child-Friendly Birmingham Dentist

Friday, December 28th, 2012

Cosmetic Dentist Birmingham

It’s a question that many parents in Birmingham debate: When should I take my child in for their first dental appointment? The answer may be a little earlier than you think.

The American Dental Association recommends that a child sees a dentist around twelve months of age. This happens to be about the time when the first teeth tend to erupt.

Some Birmingham parents may wonder why dental visits are needed so early in their child’s life. Not only will your dentist want to clean your child’s teeth and apply fluoride, it’s also important for small children to get used to seeing the dentist.

Starting early dental visits will mean that later in life your Birmingham child is less likely to require braces or other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as dental implants.

If you have a child that is apprehensive about visiting Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, you might want to think about bringing them to your next Birmingham cosmetic dentistry appointment. Seeing you in the dental chair will help them become more comfortable with the idea.

I’m Dr. J. Paul Koch, a child-friendly Birmingham dentist, and I want my patients to have the best oral health possible. I also want them to look their best, so if you have any questions about a smile makeover, give us a call at 205-202-8618.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry we offer:

cosmetic dentistry
dental implants
porcelain veneers
laser dentistry

Raise Your Dental IQ In Alabama

Friday, December 21st, 2012

Cosmetic Dentist Alabama

There are many simple things that the average Alabama resident can do to raise their Dental IQ and improve their oral health. One simple lesson involves bacteria, and everyone’s mouth has a lot of it.

But, don’t worry, bacteria per se isn’t the problem. General and cosmetic dental problems occur for Alabama patients when the balance of bacteria becomes unhealthy. This is where brushing and flushing might come into play. Another precaution you can take to guard against the wrong kind of bacteria is to keep your toothbrush as far away from the toilet as possible, and close the lid of the toilet before you flush.

Make sure to wash your hands before you brush and floss. No exceptions!

When it comes to a good toothbrush, don’t get sentimental. The American Dental Association recommends replacing your toothbrush every three to four months. If you can avoid the unhealthy balance of bacteria in your mouth, you can avoid gum disease, tooth decay, as well as bad breath.

If you can avoid decay, it’s less likely that you will need more extensive dental work such as dental implants and crowns.

I’m Alabama cosmetic dentist Dr. Paul Koch and I am passionate about helping my patients have healthy mouths and beautiful smiles. If you would like to know more about a custom smile makeover in Alabama, give us a call at 205-202-8618 and a member of our comfortable staff will answer any questions you have and schedule a consultation at your convenience.
