Koch Aesthetic Dentistry Birmingham Alabama – Blog

Have you ever wished your Alabama cosmetic dentist could glue new pearly white covers on your existing teeth as easy as you paint a wall in your house? Guess what? With porcelain veneers, it’s possible. Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin tooth-shaped fronts that are permanently bonded to your natural teeth.

Unlike a dental crown procedure, your Alabama dentist does not need to remove tooth structure to place the restoration. If the teeth in question have decay, come see us immediately.

Call 205-202-8618 to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Alabama, dental veneers are used alone and in combination with other cosmetic dental procedures to create complete smile makeovers. Because they can correct cosmetic tooth misalignment in one visit, veneers are sometimes referred to as ‘instant orthodontics’.

Do veneers look like natural teeth?
Skilled Alabama cosmetic dental lab artists create porcelain veneers with the color, reflective properties, and translucency of natural teeth: perfect natural teeth, that is. In addition, porcelain veneers can be made in any size or shape.

Are veneers at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry strong?
Porcelain veneers are fabricated out of extremely durable material. If you have questions about whether a veneer or dental crown is the best choice for you, talk to Dr. J. Paul Koch. Dr. Koch will consider the size and condition of the tooth and its position in the mouth.

How long do veneers last?
Some Koch Aesthetic Dentistry smile makeover clients have veneers they received over 15 years ago. (And they still look terrific!) If properly cared for, veneers can last as long as dental crowns.

Are porcelain veneers affordable in Alabama?
The cost of cosmetic dental veneers at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry is competitive with other premium cosmetic dental practices in the area. We use what we believe is the top Alabama dental lab to create our client’s veneers and a significant portion of the cost of veneers goes to the lab. Porcelain veneers are often less expensive in Alabama than crowns and invisible braces. For questions about the cost of porcelain veneers, call our office at 205-202-8618.

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
