Happy Thanksgiving

October 27, 2013

ThanksgivingFrom all of us at Robison Dental Group, we want to wish our patients from the Canton area a happy Thanksgiving!

This special holiday is a great time to spend with loved ones. And though we want you to have excellent oral health, a holiday like this one is the perfect time to set aside strict eating habits and just enjoy everything the season has to offer—even if that means a second slice of pie.

If you’d like to schedule an appointment with us after the Thanksgiving holiday, give our office a call. Our Canton dental team is happy to serve areas like Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

Protect Your Family’s Smile during the Holidays with Xylitol

Filed under: General Dentistry — robisondental @ 7:40 am

Trick or TreatThe second half of the year is loaded with holidays. Starting with Halloween in October and running through the end of December, there’s one big event after another. That means plenty of holiday goodies, and especially candy.

All of those goodies contain sugar, of course.  When sugar and the bacteria in your mouth meet, the result is an acidic byproduct, which is what causes decay and cavities to form.

Does that mean you have to give up on your holiday goodies? Not necessarily. What if we told you there was a natural sweetener that would let you enjoy wonderful holiday goodies but also protects your teeth from cavities?

The good news is—there is!

The sweetener is called xylitol and it’s found naturally in the fibers of plants. How does it protect teeth? By responding differently to the mouth’s bacteria. Instead of creating an acidic byproduct, the combination of xylitol and bacteria promotes a neutral environment in which it’s harder for bacteria to cling to teeth. That’s why some brands of toothpaste use xylitol instead of fluoride to protect teeth from cavities. Beyond this, xylitol can be used instead of sugar for baking, and there are even brands of candy that are made with xylitol.

Do you want to learn more about xylitol? Read about it here. And to schedule an appointment with Dr. John Robison or Dr. J.D. Robison of Robison Dental Group, call us today. We’re happy to help patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

Create a Beautiful Smile with Porcelain Veneers

SmileA healthy smile is important, but so is a beautiful smile. Not only can you brighten a friend or family member’s day with one, but it can also be an asset in the business and dating world.

Unfortunately, not everyone has naturally dazzling teeth. Thankfully, with a cosmetic dentistry service like porcelain veneers from Robison Dental Group, it’s possible to achieve exactly what you’re looking for, and in a way that looks natural.

Porcelain veneers use very thin pieces of dental porcelain to hide a range of flaws, including, stains, cracks, chips, and misalignment. Through a consultation with Dr. John R. Robison or Dr. J.D. Robison, we can assess what your exact needs are and talk to you about your smile goals. Then, based on that conversation, our Canton dental team can start designing your veneers and prepping your teeth. To make porcelain veneers lie flat a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of teeth.

Using the information Dr. John Robison or Dr. J.D. Robison collects from your first appointment our lab will create a full, customized set of veneers for you. When they’re ready, you’ll come back to Robison Dental Group in Canton to have them fixed in place, completing your cosmetic treatment.

Do you want to know how your smile can benefit from porcelain veneers? Our team at Robison Dental Group can help. Call us today for a consultation. During your visit, we’ll assess your needs and explain all your options. We offer exceptional cosmetic care to patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.
