Effective Sedation Dentistry for Canton-Area Patients

October 12, 2012

For many patients, anxiety is an impediment to essential oral care. But it doesn’t have to be the way. If you put off or avoid important dental visits because of fear, Dr. John and J.D. Robison have a simple but effective service known as oral sedation that can help you overcome your worries and get the treatment you need.

Oral sedation dentistry has been used by dentists for more than 30 years. It is an absolutely safe method of inducing feelings of peace and relaxation. What’s more, patients who choose oral sedation dentistry often remember little or nothing at all about their appointment afterwards.

Here’s how it works.

During your consultation with us, your doctor will write you a prescription for a commonly used sedative or anti-anxiety medication. Then, when you leave our Canton dental office, you’ll just need to have it filled so you can take your pill on the day of your next treatment.

Because of how powerful the effectives of oral sedation are, you’ll need to have a trusted companion—either a friend or a family member—with you to drive you to and from your appointment. By the next day you’ll be free to return to your regular activities with a healthier smile and improved confidence in your oral health.

To find out how oral sedation from Robison Dental Group can help you, give our Canton office a call today. We’re proud to provide patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth with excellent oral sedation dentistry.

Overcome Sleep Apnea and Snoring with Non-Surgical Relief

September 28, 2012

If you routinely go through your day feeling like you haven’t slept a wink, sleep apnea could be the reason why. Sleep apnea is a common but under-diagnosed condition in which patients stop breathing for 10 seconds or more during sleep. As a result, patients with sleep apnea wake up periodically throughout the night to take a breath, and sometimes without even know it.

Symptoms of sleep apnea include:

 

  • Daytime drowsiness
  • Stress
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Memory loss
  • Fatigue
  • Accidents at home, at work, or behind the wheel

But one of the most common symptoms of all is something you might never have thought of: snoring. Sleep apnea and snoring often go hand-in-hand because they’re both caused by obstructed airways. As a result, if you can treat obstructive sleep apnea, you can also treat snoring.

Effective Treatment from Robison Dental Group

If you struggle with snoring and sleep apnea, our doctors at Robison Dental Group have an effective, non-surgical therapy that can help. With a custom-made intraoral appliance, Dr. John and J.D. Robison can help you reposition your jaw, leaving your important airways open while you sleep. As a result, you can finally get the rest you deserve so you can feel great in the morning.

Do you struggle with sleep apnea? Has your partner complained about your snoring? Call our Canton dental office today to schedule your consultation appointment. Our entire team at Robison Dental Group would be happy to assess your health and recommend a treatment plan.

We serve patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

Invisalign: A Clear Alternative to Traditional Braces

August 28, 2012

If you’ve dreamed of a straighter smile but think the only way to achieve one is with traditional braces, you’re missing out. At Robison Dental Group, we offer a revolutionary orthodontic solution called Invisalign that’s helping us change the lives of Canton-area teens and adults.

What makes Invisalign different? The answer is threefold. Invisalign is:

  • Clear
  • Removable
  • Convenient

Now, let’s take a look at each one of these.

Clear

Traditional braces use effective but unattractive brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their ideal position. Invisalign, on the other hand, relies on a series of clear trays instead, each of which is custom-made for your smile and is intended to bring you closer and closer to your goal. And because your aligners are clear, you can look forward to treatment that’s more discreet and unobtrusive, leaving you feeling more confident as you go to work or school.

Removable

Besides being clear, there’s another benefit to Invisalign—your aligners are removable. What that means is you can still enjoy all your favorite foods by simply taking out your aligners when it’s time to eat. But that’s not all it means. By taking out your aligners to brush and floss, you can keep your teeth cleaner than you can with traditional braces, which can encourage tooth decay and gum disease.

Convenient

Both of the above combine to make treatment with Invisalign a more convenient orthodontic solution for Canton-area patients to consider. Because Invisalign uses clear trays instead of brackets and wires, no tightening appointments are needed. Instead, we’ll just need to check your progress periodically. And because removable trays make it easier to keep your teeth clean, future appointments for common oral health problems are less likely.

Are you ready to talk about how Invisalign can help you? Call Robison Dental Group today to schedule an appointment with Dr. John R. Robison or Dr. J.D. Robison. Our doctors serve patients from Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

Restore Your Smile’s Functionality and Appearance with Full-Mouth Makeover

July 31, 2012

At Robison Dental Group, we offer great restorative dentistry services to help our patients from Canton and beyond improve the appearance and functionality of their smiles. But for some patients, it may take more than one service to completely restore what’s been lost. That’s why Dr. John Robison and Dr. J.D. Robison also offer a service known as full-mouth reconstruction.

What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

That question can’t be answered simply. After all, every patient has different needs, which means that every full-mouth reconstruction we complete will be a bit different. Regardless of the specifics, though, each full-mouth reconstruction draws from general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry to create a beautiful, functional smile.

Your full-mouth reconstruction could include services like:

  • Crowns and fillings
  • Bridgework
  • Partial and full dentures
  • Dental implants, and more

Your doctor will work closely with you to create a treatment plan that achieves the results you’ve been looking for.

Want to find out more about any of these services? Take a look around our website or give our Canton office a call. We’d be happy to schedule a consultation visit for you. Consultation visits are important because they give your doctor a chance to get to know exactly what your needs are.

Call us today. We serve patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, and Plymouth.

Robison Dental Group Is Creating Dazzling Smiles with Teeth Whitening

June 29, 2012

In our last post, we talked about the great cosmetic dentistry services you can find at Robison Dental Group. Today, we’d like to focus on just one of those services: teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular and effective cosmetic dentistry services available anywhere. With it, cosmetic dentists like Dr. John Robison and Dr. J.D. Robison can help patients eliminate teeth stains caused by foods, drinks, smoking, aging, and more to uncover a glamorous, confident smile.

What’s more, at our Canton dental office, we offer two convenient options for patients to choose from: in-office teeth whitening and at-home teeth whitening. With in-office whitening, you can leave our Canton dental office with the whiter smile you’ve dreamed of after just one appointment. With at-home whitening, on the other hand, you can achieve the same professional results while sticking to your normal schedule. Both are effective, and when combined, you can have a whiter smile that lasts even longer.

If you’re curious about how teeth whitening can help you, call Robison Dental Group today for a consultation appointment. We’re always happy to talk to patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Westland, Plymouth, and beyond about how our cosmetic dentists can improve their smiles. Get in touch with us today!

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants from Robison Dental Group

May 31, 2012

How your smile looks is important. How your smile functions is even more important. With dental implants from Robison Dental Group, our doctors can help you with both.

Dental implants are similar to traditional restorative options like crowns, bridges, and dentures, but one thing sets them apart and makes them more effective. Unlike traditional options, which just replace your missing tooth (or teeth), dental implants replace your missing tooth and your missing root.

Why’s that so important?

Because when you lose one or more tooth roots, parts of your jawbone that used to serve a specific purpose don’t any longer. As a result, those parts will begin to lose bone mass. Over time, that loss of bone will spread, potentially resulting in further tooth loss.

But with dental implants, you can restore your smile and preserve your jaw thanks to the interaction between your implants and your jaw. Dental implants are made from biocompatible titanium, which bonds with bone tissue, creating a strong, natural foundation for your new smile.

To restore your smile with dental implants, though, you have to be a candidate for the implant procedure. You can find out if you’re a candidate by scheduling a consultation with our Canton dental office. During your appointment with us, one of our doctors will thoroughly examine your smile and make a decision based on your situation, your needs, and your medical history.

Call Robison Dental Group today if you’re ready to schedule your visit with us. We restore smiles from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, Plymouth, and beyond.

Achieve a Straighter Smile with Invisalign Clear Braces

May 18, 2012

As a busy adult, you have a professional image you’ve worked hard to cultivate. But if you’ve been considering braces, you may be worried that you’ll have to sacrifice that image.

The good news is that’s not the case at all. With Robison Dental Group, patients from Canton and surrounding areas can enjoy a straighter, more attractive smile with Invisalign clear braces.

How Does Invisalign Work?

As one of the most popular and effective cosmetic services available, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made acrylic aligners to straighten teeth.

To treat your smile, you’ll simply wear each pair for about two weeks. As you move from one pair to the next, your aligners will gradually bring your teeth into their ideal alignment until you reach your goal 12-18 months later. Because Invisalign’s aligners are clear, you can finally achieve your goal of a straighter smile without drawing negative attention to your teeth.

But there’s also another benefit to Invisalign—your aligners are removable.

Why is that so great?

First, because you can take them out for special events, like a party, a dinner with friends, a special meeting at work, and so much more. But even greater than this, because your Invisalign aligners are removable, you can take them out to brush and floss. This is one of Invisalign’s greatest advantages over traditional braces.  With traditional braces, the presence of brackets and wires can make it difficult to keep teeth clean, which can result in tooth decay and other problems. But with Invisalign, you can remove your braces to brush and floss, giving your smile the thorough cleansing it needs to stay strong, healthy, and beautiful.

Are you ready to find out more about how Invisalign can help your smile? Give Robison Dental Group a call. Our doctors are happy to help patients from Canton, Ann Arbor, Northville, and Plymouth with Invisalign clear braces. Get in touch with us today!
