Do you have the smile you truly want?  Have you always wanted to change your smile?  Make the moment now!

LUMINEERS porcelain veneers can transform your smile with little or no preparation (meaning minimal to no removal of tooth structure).  LUMINEERS can whiten stained teeth, reshape misaligned/awkward/crooked teeth, even out uneven teeth, lengthen short teeth, close unwanted gaps between teeth or fix chipped teeth.

New technology makes LUMINEERS extremely strong and much thinner than traditional veneers.  If tooth reduction is required, only minimal contouring is done, eliminating the need for anesthetic and the possibility of sensitivity afterwards.  The results are outstanding!

LUMINEERS can only be done by LUMINEERS Certified Dentists.  At Shwedel Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, both Dr. Shwedel and Dr. Okonkowski are LUMINEERS Certified Dentists.  It is our goal to make and keep your smile beautiful.  Should you have any questions about LUMINEERS or any other dental related topic, including the latest ways to keep your mouth healthy, please contact us at 313-292-5590 or visit our website www.shwedeldental.com.  We are looking forward to seeing you soon.

Dr. Guy Mangia: Comprehensive Dental Examination is a service we provide for all new patients and for our adult patients of record every 2 years. Similar to a complete medical examination with your physician, this examination  process is considered the current Standard of Care with the American Dental Association.  During this examination we are able to document and compare the findings that are significant to your oral health.  Being able to compare these findings at a two year interval allows us to detect changes in your dental health that may be subtle to the human eye, resulting in early detection and correction of oral problems.  Of course, we will continue to provide updated examinations at the time of your  periodontal maintenance visit in between your comprehensive dental evaluations.

The Comprehensive Examination and Evaluation consists of six areas of your oral health: read more…

Dr. Shwedel: No longer are fluoride treatments just for children.  New research shows that everyone, regardless of age, can benefit from them.  Fluoride not only helps protect newly erupting teeth from decay, but mature teeth that present their own set of needs.  Such as exposed roots from gum recession or the margins where crowns & teeth meet or even the effects of dry mouth as a result of medication & decreased saliva.  read more…

Dr. David Grayson: Should you go through the trouble of tooth bleaching? You may think that you do not need this process of tooth whitening. After all, it can be difficult for you to see how yellow and aged your teeth have become in recent years.

Even when you look up close in the mirror, you may not see all of the stains due to smoking, drinking certain beverages and just plain age. However, you can be sure that others see this. Once you have your teeth whitened, you will say to yourself that you should have done this sooner! It can make all of the difference in the world to have your teeth whitened; yet it is neither a difficult nor a costly project when you go to a dentist who practices cosmetic dentistry. A trained cosmetic dentist can show you the shade your teeth are now, and then give you a good idea as to what shade they can be lightened to.

Hi – I’m looking at having my teeth whitened and would like to know if I can get as good of results from using a product at home or if I should have a dentist do it for me? Any responses with guidance from someone that knows what they are talking about would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
