What Can Botox and Juvederm Treatment Do For You?

Botox can be used to correct and prevent wrinkles and lines around the eyes and the forehead, especially brow creases and “crow’s feet.” Botox is made from a diluted form of a purified protein produced by botulium bacterium. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses from your brain to the injected muscles, thereby reducing the tightening that causes persistent lines and wrinkles. Juvederm is a cosmetic filler mainly used for frown and laugh lines around the mouth. It softens the crease that runs from the nose to the corner of the mouth called the nasolabial fold. Juvederm is made from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, a substance found in all mammals that hydrates and adds volume to the skin. Both Botox and Juvederm can be injected in about 15 mintues with effects that last anywhere from a 4-6 months (Botox) to a year (Juvederm). Botox has also been shown as an effective method to treat the symptoms of TMJ disorder.

Participating in sports like football, soccer, basketball and baseball can be great opportunities for children to learn teamwork, perseverance and build character. Do you have an active and athletic child in your family? If you do, you should know that they may be in danger while participating in athletic activities without a custom athletic mouthguard. Not all mouthguards provide equal protection, but custom athletic mouthguards can make a huge difference. Make an appointment with the experienced family dentists of Livonia Dental Group for your child today. Livonia Dental Group restores smiles daily throughout Livonia, MI, metro Detroit, Redford, Farmington, Northville, Plymouth and Westland.

Children’s Dentistry: Athletic Mouthguard Options

Stock Athletic Mouthguards- These mouthguards, although the most affordable, are the least effective. They rarely fit correctly and can easily slip or move out of place.
“Boil and Bite” Athletic Mouthguards- These are essentially the same as stock mouthguards but are slightly more customizable. Problems can arise when the wearer must clench down to hold the mouthguard in place. This can cause unnecessary wear on the back teeth and leave the front teeth unprotected.
Custom Athletic Mouthguards- These mouthguards can be customized by a dentist for your child’s specific bite requirements and the sports they play. Custom athletic mouthguards provide maximum protection for your child’s front and back teeth.

Children’s Dentistry and Custom Athletic Mouthguards in Livonia, MI

Fitting your child for a custom athletic mouthguard is as easy as making a dental appointment. Custom athletic mouthguards are an investment in your child’s safety. These mouthguards have been shown to not only protect the teeth from injury, but also protect the head and neck from injury and concussion. Don’t let your child play another season without the proper protection. Make an appointment with the experienced dentists of Livonia Dental Group to protect your child today. Livonia Dental Group serves families throughout Livonia, MI, metro Detroit, Redford, Farmington, Northville, Plymouth and Westland.

Over time, our teeth can wear down, shift, stain and crack. In addition, many have found that the slight misalignments they developed as children have only become worse as they have gotten older.

Livonia Dental Group restores smiles daily throughout Livonia, MI, metro Detroit, Redford, Farmington, Northville, Plymouth and Westland.

Adult Orthodontics Choices

Invisalign Clear Aligners- Invisalign starts with an impression of your teeth to check whether they can be straightened with Invisalign aligners. A staged treatment plan will then be developed using 3D technology. You will be able to see how your teeth will look at the end of your treatment before it begins. The orthodontist will monitor your progress as your teeth are gradually corrected in two-week increments with a custom set of clear aligners. The length of treatment varies from patient to patient.
Instant Braces (Porcelain Veneers)- Porcelain veneers are not actually braces, but are often referred to as instant braces because of their versatility in correcting misalignments and other minor imperfections in teeth size and shape. These wafer thin porcelain shells can correct:
- Undersized teeth
- Misshaped teeth
- Gaps
- Crowded teeth
- Stained teeth
- Fractures and Cracks
- Uneven teeth

Head, neck and joint pain is a common complaint. Many people don’t realize that their headaches could be caused by a Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder.

The dentists at Lavonia Dental Group have helped hundreds of patients diagnose and treat their headaches due to TMJ disorder and they can help you too.

What is TMJ Disorder?

A TMJ disorder may be one of three types. Type one is the most common and is a disorder of the muscles around the TMJ. With this type you would experience myofacial pain in the muscles near the jaw, neck and shoulders. Type two is a joint derangement disorder. Type two occurs when you have a dislocated jaw, displaced disc or injured bone. Type three is a degenerative joint disorder. This type is characterized by wear and tear of the TMJ similar to arthritis which can lead to the destruction of the cartilage that covers the joint. Symptoms for any type of TMJ disorder may include; difficulty chewing, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, clicking noises or tenderness in the jaw and earaches.

TMJ Disorder Treatment in Livonia, MI

Possible treatments for TMJ disorder can range from a custom nightguard to relieve stress on the joint while you sleep, an equilibration procedure to even out your bite, BOTOX and Juvederm injections to relax the stressed muscles around the joint, medication and orthotics.

What Are Your Cosmetic Dentistry Options?

Before you consider embarking on the course for cosmetic dental procedures you need to address any existing oral health concerns. If you need fillings for cavities, root canal therapy for an infected tooth, or treatment for gum disease, that should be your first priority. If your mouth is otherwise healthy, then this would be a great time to consider a cosmetic dental procedure. With the variety and convenience of many treatment choices, there has never been a better time than today to fix or replace cracked, chipped, missing or discolored teeth. You can contact the team of experienced and caring dentists at Livonia Dental Group to find the perfect solution to your cosmetic dentistry dilemma. If you live in Livonia, MI, Detroit or the other metropolitan communities of Redford, Farmington, Northville, Plymouth, and Westland they can help you get back the beautiful smile you deserve.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Discolored Teeth

Even if you have healthy teeth and gums, tooth discoloration can occur over time. Behavioral factors such as drinking lots of sugary and caffeinated drinks or smoking can cause erosion to your enamel. Other factors, such as genetically weaker enamel or age, can affect the color of your teeth. However, there are ways to get back a brighter, whiter smile. With teeth whitening, you can repair the appearance of your enamel. Options include teeth whitening toothpaste, at- home whitening kits and visiting your dentist for a whitening appointment. It’s important to have your teeth examined by a dentist before choosing a whitening method because not all methods will work for everyone.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Broken or Missing or Misaligned Teeth

Though your main motivation may be to improve the appearance of your smile, broken, chipped or missing teeth can also reduce your quality of life. You may be reluctant to laugh or smile and it may be difficult to eat or drink your favorite foods and beverages. Missing teeth could also slur your speech. Luckily, you have many options to repair or replace damaged teeth. At Lavonia Dental Group, the dentists can offer cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers, CEREC One-Visit Crowns, bridges, dentures and dental implants depending on the type of dental restoration needed. Fixing crooked teeth is not just about braces anymore. Today, there are many convenient, nearly invisible and faster methods for correcting misaligned teeth, such as Invisalign clear aligners.

Have A Flawless Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: Canton, cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Daniel S. Fox, Dr. Fox, Farmington, Livonia Dental, Livonia Dental Group, Northville, Plymouth, porcelain veneers, Redford, Westland — livoniadental @ 8:18 pm

If you have a smile that is far less than perfect, you may feel embarrassed to smile. Feeling confident in the way you look is almost always connected to your smile, and if you are not secure, it can have a negative effect on your self-esteem. Because we use our smiles to show friendliness and communicate with others, not being happy with your smile can also affect the way you interact with the people around you. Although you may feel as though there is nothing you can do to have the perfect smile you have always wanted, our doctors are able to turn your dreams into a reality by offering porcelain veneers at their Livonia, MI dental office.

One of the greatest advantages to porcelain veneers is that they are able to erase years of wear and tear on your smile in a short amount of time. If your teeth are misaligned, gapped, misshapen, stained, chipped, cracked, or uneven, porcelain veneers are able to completely cover the flaws and only reveal a flawless, dazzling smile. When you feel happy about the state of your smile, that happiness and positivity has the potential to affect other areas of your life, improving your overall sense of self!

The process begins with a consultation with one of our doctors. They will have to determine whether or not porcelain veneers are right for you by evaluating the state in which your smile is currently in. You will also have that opportunity to have any questions or concerns you have addressed, as we want you to be comfortable throughout the entire process. We will take impressions of your smile and send them to a dental lab to have your custom porcelain veneers made. While they are being made, we will keep in mind your smile goals as well as your facial aesthetic, as we want your smile to look as natural as possible. Your natural tooth will be prepared by removing a small bit of enamel to ensure your new smile has space. When your veneers are ready, they will be placed on your prepared tooth and made permanent with dental resin cement. At the end of the process, you are left with a perfect smile you cannot wait to show off! If you would like the help of our doctors creating a new smile with porcelain veneers, contact our office today!

Have A Functional Smile with Dentures

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: Canton, dentures, Dr. Daniel S. Fox, Dr. Fox, Farmington, Livonia Dental, Livonia Dental Group, Northville, Plymouth, Redford, Westland — livoniadental @ 8:16 pm

When you do not have a complete smile, you may find it difficult to find the confidence to smile. Smiling is a way we show friendliness to others, and if we are not secure in that, it can affect the way we interact with the people around us. You may feel embarrassed or ashamed about your smile, and the doctors at Livonia Dental Group believe that everyone should have a smile they can be proud of. Because we are restorative dentists, we are able to bring back the smile you once had by offering partial and full dentures to our patients.

There are several instances that could cause someone to lose their teeth. Whether it has been to dental decay, gum disease, or some sort of dental trauma, we are able to assess and fix the situation. Partial dentures include replacing only the teeth that are missing. We will be able to create a custom denture, and attach it to a base that is the same color as your gums. That way, your new smile is natural and functional. Depending on what your specific needs are, we will be able to create either a fixed partial denture or a removable one.

If you are missing an entire arch of teeth, we will be able to create a full denture. We will take precise measurements of your smile and make models of your jaw. This will ensure a custom treatment and a denture that fits you like a glove. We will send the measurements to a dental lab to have your dentures made, and when they are complete, you will come back to our office so that we can make the proper modifications to guarantee a secure fit. If you would like our doctors to help restore your smile using dentures, contact our office today.

Find Relief With Root Canal Therapy

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: Canton, Dr. Daniel S. Fox, Dr. Fox, Farmington, Livonia Dental Group, Northville, Plymouth, Redford, root canal therapy, Westland — livoniadental @ 6:12 pm

One thing that many people can agree on is that living life in pain is extremely difficult. Constant physical pain can be taxing on the heart, body, and mind, and not finding any relief is even worse. Having tooth pain is no different, and is actually known to be one of the worst pains a person can experience. Though some may dismiss tooth pain and mere sensitivity, there can be many underlying issues regarding your smile. If left untreated, a small cavity could turn into an even worse situation, causing you to seek immediate attention. Fortunately, our doctors are able to relieve you of your tooth pain by performing root canal therapy at their Livonia, MI dental office.

A root canal is needed when a cavity has gone awry. When the bacteria have penetrated your tooth’s pulp, the result is pain and pressure. Though root canals do not necessarily have a good reputation, our doctors are experienced with the procedure, and you are alleviated of pain at the end of the procedure. Also, if the cavity is left untreated and a root canal is not performed, it has the potential to affect other areas of your body. Because your mouth is a gateway, the bacteria in your mouth have the possibility of entering your blood stream and throughout your body.

Root canal therapy is a quick and simple procedure. Our doctors begin by addressing the infected tooth and removing the pulp. Because the pulp is the part that causes the pain, we want to be able to take it out as soon as possible. After that, the tooth is filled with a bio-compatible material. Depending on the severity of your infection and your tooth’s structure, we may recommend a crown to be placed on top. The crown will be able to protect the tooth from further harm as well as preventing bacteria from making its way back into the tooth. At the end of your appointment, your body and mouth are in better health, and you are free of pain! If you would like our doctors to help you with root canal therapy, contact our office today!

Have A Full Smile with Dental Implants

Filed under: dental implants,Restorative Dentistry — Tags: Canton, dental implants, Dr. Daniel S. Fox, Dr. Fox, Farmington, Livonia Dental, Livonia Dental Group, Northville, Plymouth, Redford, Westland — livoniadental @ 6:09 pm

One of the most difficult things to live with is having teeth missing from your smile. Though it may not be a big deal to some people, not having a full smile can be detrimental to your self-esteem and to your oral health. Because many people consider a smile a first impression, when you are not one hundred perfect confident in your smile, it can have a negative effect on the way you view yourself as well as the way you interact with your friends and peers. Fortunately, Dr. Gregory J. Young is able to give you the smile of your dreams by offering dental implants to his patients.

One of the reasons why it is so important to replace a missing tooth is because having a space between your teeth can be bad for the rest of your mouth. Your other teeth may start to shift to make up for the missing space, and can increase your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Also, our mouths give us the ability to nourish ourselves, communicate, and show friendliness through our smiles, and if that is compromised, it can be detrimental.

The process to getting your dental implants begins with a consultation with Dr. Young. During the meeting, he will be able to assess your smile in its current state and check your bone density, as well as give you the opportunity to bring up any questions or concerns you may have. If you are considered a candidate for dental implants, Dr. Young will embed a titanium screw into your jaw bone. After the proper amount of healing time as taken place, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the implant itself and the crown. After the abutment, your tooth-resembling crown is placed on top, completing your new, beautiful smile! If you would like to know more about how Dr. Young is able to give you a full smile using dental implants, contact our office today, and we would love to help!

Children’s Dentistry at Livonia Dental Group

Filed under: Children's Dentistry — Tags: Canton, children's dentistry, Dr. Daniel S. Fox, Dr. Fox, Farmington, Livonia Dental, Livonia Dental Group, Northville, Plymouth, Redford, Westland — livoniadental @ 5:05 pm

Whenever anything is in its early stages of development, it is important to make sure that you take as much care of it as possible. Whether it is a business, a new position at work, it is crucial to make sure that it has the most solid, effective foundation as possible. The same goes for your child’s smile. With their beautiful smiles being as young and susceptible to decay as it is, it is important to make sure that you guide your child down the path of excellent oral care. By offering children’s dentistry, Livonia Dental Group is able to help give our youngest patients a solid foundation for a healthy smile.

Many people do not realize how important children’s dentistry really is. It goes beyond looking after your child’s smile, and delves more into your child’s social and self development. When your child has a healthy, beautiful smile, they are able to feel good about themselves. It gives them confidence, and are, in turn, able to communicate friendliness to their peers. When a child does not have the proper oral care, it heightens their odds of having oral diseases, causing their teeth to fall out too early. When this happens, your child’s adult teeth can become compromised as well as having your child lack the proper nutrition needed for healthy development.

When your child comes in for their first dental appointment, we will make a special effort to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. We know that a dentist’s office is not necessarily your child’s favorite place to be, but we will be sure to welcome them with warm smiles and hugs. We want your child to adapt to the usual sounds and sights of a dental visit, that way they learn to be comfortable while in the chair. One aspect of children’s dentistry is fluoride treatments. Fluoride is an amazing mineral that strengthens the teeth and helps fight off the potential for cavities. Another common aspect is dental sealants. Sealants are clear, plastic coatings that cover the pits of the teeth located toward the back of the mouth. This keeps bacteria from forming in the deep grooves of your child’s teeth! if you would like to schedule your child’s first dental appointment, contact our office today, and we will be glad to help!
