- X-raysDental x-rays allow our dentist, Dr. Ronald M. Olszewski, to see the areas between and inside your teeth, as well as the tip of your roots and the bone below your gums. They are immeasurably valuable tools to diagnose any dental problems you may experience. Different types of dental x-rays comprise intraoral and extraoral varieties. Extraoral x-rays can highlight problems in areas unrelated to the teeth and gums, such as the jaw. However, the most common types of dental x-rays are intraoral.

- Teeth CleaningAt Always A Smile, the dental practice of Ronald M. Olszewski DDS, we’re dedicated to helping patients of all ages maintain beautiful, healthy smiles. Professional teeth cleanings in our Grand Rapids office are one of the most important things you can do to keep your mouth free of harmful plaque and tartar. If left untreated, plaque and tartar build-ups can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues.
- Fluoride TreatmentWhen you come for your teeth cleaning in our Grand Rapids dental office, we’ll start with an exam. One of our friendly dental hygienists will check for any signs of tooth decay or gum disease, and our dentist may also take a quick look. Next, our hygienist will use special tools to clean all those hard-to-reach areas of your mouth where plaque and tartar tend to hide. Then your teeth will be polished gently using what can be best described as a gritty toothpaste (but we’ll let you pick the flavor!). Finally, we’ll apply a fluoride treatment (either a foamy gel or a varnish) to help protect your teeth against cavities in-between your dental visits. Depending upon how much plaque and tartar build-up you have, you can expect your teeth cleaning to take about 30-60 minutes.
- Dental SealantsWhen a tooth becomes infected, reflected in its nerves in the root, the tissue needs to be removed. This is where the name comes from. We perform root canals to remove the infected nerves before they infect other areas of the mouth or become abscesses. During the procedure, we numb the area and nerves with a local anesthetic, drill into the tooth to create a canal, remove the infected nerve tissue, and clean the area. We then fill the cleaned space with a sealant to protect your nerves and teeth. We’ll fit a crown over the affected tooth to improve its appearance and secure it from further issues.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeCosmetic bonding is an ideal treatment for patients that seek a quick fix with long-lasting results. Cosmetic bonding is a procedure that offers longevity, as your composite resin can last up to 10 years. We recommend caring for your teeth, ensuring top-tier oral health, and regular dentist visits to obtain long-term results from your cosmetic bonding treatment.
- VeneersEven if you take excellent care of your teeth, brush regularly, and eat a healthy diet, your teeth can still become damaged over time. If you would like a brighter, whiter smile, you may want to consider dental veneers from our Grand Rapids dentist Ronald M. Olszewski, DDS at Always A Smile. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. This is considered a cosmetic procedure for aesthetic purposes and does not affect the function of your teeth. While you can feel free to eat any food you’d like with your new veneers, it’s important to take caution with sticky and hard foods. If you’re ready to transform your smile with porcelain veneers, give us a call.
