Whether it’s scholarships for local students, donations to the Salvation Army summer camp or donations to other charities, the Westland Rotary has a long list of good deeds for the past year. “Helping kids was goal one of our focuses. We are a small group but we do a lot,” said Paul Motz, who reviewed club accomplishments and dona­ tions as he wrapped up a year as club president. The club provided three $2,000 scholarships to Wayne- Westland High School seniors along with two $1,000 schol­ arships to Tinkham High School students. There was also a $5,000 donation to the Wayne-West- land Salvation Army summer camp. A Family Resource Fair at the Jefferson Barns Com­ munity Vitality Center was sponsored by the club. “There was a tremendous BILL BRESLER | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER resource fair and it was held in Jawan Huey, Evelyn Thorne, Paul Spreitzer, Gaje Bohnwagner, Ranell Browder and Charlie Settle warm up before a program at the Westland library. the area where there is the For more on the program, please see Page A6. most need,” Motz said. “We took the resources to the peo­ ple.

Dr. James Stewart is a general dentist in Livonia, Ml. Today, he answers a question about whether you need an implant or a bridge to replace a missing tooth. CHOOSING AN IMPLANT OR A BRIDGE

Dear Dr. Stewart: I have a missing tooth that I want replaced. Should I haue a dental implant or a bridge? Dr. Stewart: We get this question a lot. The quick answer: Implants are more cost-effective over time and a better treatment option. But this is not always the case. First of all, are you a candidate for an implant which most often means, do you have enough bone in your jaw for an implant or can bone be grafted in that area? Secondly, what is the condition of the teeth on either side of the missing tooth space? If these teeth need extensive restoration or cosmetic treatment, then a bridge may make more sense. To make an informed decision you need to gather Y ou’ re invited to attend our all vital information and formulate a treatment plan with your dentist If you have a question about your dental health contact O p ert H ouse Dr. James Stewart by calling 734-425-4400 or visiting jamesstewartdds.com
