Future of Dentistry’s Guide To Veneers

By Future of Dentistry BloggerCosmetic dentistry, Dental health, Veneers

It’s easy to see why smile makeover patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley love porcelain veneers. They correct a multitude of cosmetic flaws and deliver brilliant results for many different types of patients.

If you are considering beautifying your smile with porcelain veneers, you want a trusted dentist with an extensive experience like our team at Future of Dentistry performing this treatment. The porcelain veneer procedure is more complicated than many cosmetic dental patients realize.

A porcelain veneer is an extremely thin (about .5mm or 1/64 inch) shell that is permanently attached to the front of a tooth. They are custom-made for each patient. Veneers cover chips, cracks, and stains. They can also improve the shape, size, or length of a tooth.

While preparing a tooth for a veneer is less invasive than preparing a tooth for a crown, it is not a reversible procedure. A microscopically small amount of enamel must be removed to make room for the veneer. Thus, the tooth can never be restored to its original condition.

When performing the multi-step veneer procedure, the dentist must consider the surrounding teeth, the patient’s bite, the gums, the health of the affected teeth, and the patient’s goals and expectations. Most smiles contain varying shades of tooth enamel – sometimes a considerable range – further complicating the color selection process.

The dentist must also work closely with the dental lab technician who fabricates the veneers. The lab technician’s skill level and quality of materials are just as vital as the expertise of the cosmetic dentist.

Veneers are usually placed on the most visible teeth – center stage, so to speak. They are on display every time the patient opens their mouth. This is a procedure you want to get right the first time!

If you are wondering if porcelain veneers would give you the smile you desire, I invite you to schedule a consultation at my office today. We can discuss sedation dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and any questions you have. I want you to love your smile!

How Are Dental Implants Priced?

By Future of Dentistry BloggerUncategorized

Looking into how much dental implants cost and getting a straightforward answer can be frustrating. But there is a reason for that.

Mesa tooth implants cost

It can be confusing to research the cost of getting a dental implant and finding nothing solid on the web. Let’s take a moment to discuss why most dental practice websites don’t publish the cost of tooth implants.

1. The Math Might Come Out Higher Than it Should
The number of teeth being replaced may be more than the number of implants needed to cover that section of the mouth. Tooth implant dentists want to offer accurate pricing rather than scare you away with higher estimates. It takes a straightforward consultation to review dental history, analyze needs, and construct a treatment plan. This could mean a more efficient surgery with fewer implants.

2. There Might Be Something Better For Your Mouth
While dental implants are the state of the art in tooth replacement, much better than a bridge or denture, sometimes the protocol won’t be what you thought it was going to be, or maybe you aren’t a good candidate for the service.

3. Supply Costs and Lab Costs Change
A ballpark number might be possible to post on the internet but the changing cost of supplies and lab fees make it impossible to guarantee a specific price for full-mouth dental implants. Dentists who offer implants can precisely calculate dental implant surgery expenses based on current prices when you come in for a consultation.

Please make an appointment to quickly and accurately get these answers. Call Future of Dentistry if you’re in the greater Boston or Merrimack Valley.

We Understand Dental Anxiety

By Future of Dentistry BloggerDental health, General dentistry, Sedation Dentistry

Our team at Future of Dentistry is dedicated to oral health throughout the greater Boston area. Unfortunately, some individuals rarely go to the dentist. Others have the misconception that you only need to go to the dentist when you have a toothache.

In addition, some have severe dental anxiety. Perhaps you fall into this category.

Dental anxiety is real, we get it

If you are nervous about dental visits, here are a few counsels that may help ease you into scheduled dental checkups. Certainly, enhanced oral health will elevate your quality of life.

Choose a dentist you can trust

I understand how challenging it can be to seek dental treatment. That’s why I make sure my patients are comfortable before I examine their teeth. First, I ask you many questions. I want to get to know you, and help you get to know me. Communication builds a connection. A connection leads to a trusting relationship.

The more I know about you, the easier I can help you

Be prepared to provide me with important information about your lifestyle and health. Many men and women are intimidated at a dentist’s office. Because of this, they may hesitate to disclose sensitive issues.

We are here to help, regardless of your history or oral condition

There is nothing in your past that we haven’t dealt with. Neglecting oral health. Drug use. Eating disorders. Regardless of your history, we have helped patients with similar dilemmas.

To help you, I need complete accurate details. Bring notes if you are worried that you will forget something.

Also, tell me what you are experiencing during treatment so I can help you feel more comfortable. If we discover that you are going to need a dental procedure more extensive than filling a cavity, let’s discuss conscious sedation.

Oral sedation is safe and effective.

The most important thing is that oral conscious sedation or sleep dentistry is perfectly safe. At Future of Dentistry, our friendly and thorough staff will work to make your visit as pleasant as possible.

Crown Or Veneer?

By Future of Dentistry BloggerCosmetic dentistry, Dental health, Veneers

Future of Dentistry offers multiple cosmetic dental procedures for creating beautiful smiles throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley. Two of the most popular procedures are dental crowns and porcelain veneers. Many patients don’t understand the difference between the two. Generally, a crown strengthens a compromised tooth while a veneer is used mainly for cosmetic improvements.

A dental crown covers the entire visible part of the tooth. A veneer is an ultra-thin layer for the front of a tooth. Ceramic laminate is used to create durable veneers. Crowns can be made of all porcelain (ceramic), porcelain fused to metal, or gold. Both crowns and veneers are affixed to the tooth with a special adhesive. Crowns and veneers are durable and can last many years if properly cared for, though they are not stronger than natural enamel.

Both of these procedures improve the tooth aesthetically, but dental crowns are often a better solution for a tooth that has been compromised by decay, damage, or a root canal. Veneers can repair the shape of a tooth, repair a minor crack, cover stains, or straighten the appearance of teeth that are slightly misaligned.

The success of a crown or veneer procedure depends on experienced professionals at the lab and in the dentist’s office. Your cosmetic dentist must prep the tooth, create a precision mold, and submit an accurate order to the lab.

The role of the dental lab technician is equally essential. Highly skilled lab technicians fabricate custom dental crowns and veneers to the specifications of the cosmetic dentist. They must have the competence to meet the precise standards needed for successful restorations.

A veneer has everything you want: the specific shape, the specific size, the precise color, and the proper placement in the mouth. This is a case of all or nothing—each aspect must be perfect or it needs to be reconstructed.

The team at Future of Dentistry works together to provide the highest quality dental restorations for our valued patients.

If you would like more helpful specifics about crowns, veneers, and other cosmetic dental procedures, I invite you to reach out to us to schedule a cosmetic dental consultation. I can help you achieve a smile that is both healthy and brilliant.

Bleeding Gums After Your 6-Month Cleaning?

By Future of Dentistry Bloggercommunity outreach, Cosmetic dentistry

Regular check-ups and cleanings at Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover are essential for good dental health. But in some people their gums tend to bleed after a thorough cleaning, causing them concern.

Is this a problem? Well, it depends. If your gums bleed for a couple days after your dental cleaning, don’t worry about it. But, if the bleeding and tenderness last longer, you should be checked for the possibility of gum disease.

Gum disease arises when plaque builds up along the gum line. You might also see bad breath, painful chewing, and loose teeth.

It is a progressive condition and a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It is also treatable, but as with most conditions, the earlier it is diagnosed and the treatment begins, the better.

We treat gum disease at Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover. Patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley know they can trust us with their dental health. They also come to our practice for restorative dentistry and much more. Schedule an appointment today!

What Can Dental Veneers Do For Your Smile?

By Future of Dentistry BloggerDental health

In this blog post from Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover we are taking the time to answer a common question: “What exactly are veneers, and how are they used in cosmetic dentistry?”

Dental veneers are thin shells made from medical-grade ceramic or composite resin. They are custom-made for each patient and are used to improve the appearance of teeth. Unlike a dental crown, which covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, a veneer covers just the front part. They are usually used on teeth that have been chipped, stained, decayed, or that are slightly crooked.

Veneers are one of the most popular options available from modern cosmetic dentistry. They are so effective they’ve even been called “instant orthodontics.” Technically, of course, they are not orthodotnics – but they’re very strong, and can work wonders on any smile.

One thing to remember: a thin layer of enamel must be removed from the front of each tooth being covered with a veneer, in order for them to properly adhere. Once they’re cemented in place, they are permanent. But once they are in place, you’ll have the best-looking teeth of anyone you know.

To find out more about dental veneers, please call us at Future of Dentistry at Willows – North Andover. Patients from Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley come to our practice for veneers and other cosmetic dentistry. Make an appointment today!
