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.

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.

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.

When a tooth is threatened by severe decay, periodontal disease, or damage from an injury, a skilled Birmingham dentist or endodontist must make a judgment call concerning the course of treatment. If the pulp of the tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth.

During a root canal procedure (or endodontic treatment) the soft tissue in the root of the tooth is removed. This tissue contains veins, arteries and lymph vessels. Once the roots are cleaned out and widened, they are filled with a special rubber material. The root canal is only the first step in the complete tooth restoration. After the root canal, without a crown, the tooth will become dry and brittle. The final steps are the core build up and crown.

At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with the surrounding teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to a dentist, a tooth with a filled root can often function problem-free for the rest of a patient’s life.

I am Doctor Dr. J. Paul Koch DMD of Koch Aesthetic Dentistry. I have been practicing dentistry since 2000. During that time I have seen hundreds of teeth saved by this effective dental procedure. Root canal therapy at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry in Birmingham has a very high success rate.

Because teeth with infected pulp tissue often cause no symptoms, it is important to have regular dental examinations. I can determine which (if any) teeth have infected roots. If the infection in the soft pulp tissue is left untreated, it can progress to a point where the tooth cannot be saved. Is it time for a thorough dental exam? Call our office at 205-202-8618.

Call Koch Aesthetic Dentistry immediately if one of your teeth is screaming for attention!
