What Are CEREC One Visit Crowns?

CEREC one visit crowns are the latest innovation in restorative dentistry. CEREC utilizes computer-assisted design and computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) systems. CEREC starts with digitally taken impressions, which then guide the design of your crown, milled by a computer to fit your tooth precisely. The CAD/CAM CEREC crowns are milled out of pure ceramic as you wait, thus eliminating the need for a second appointment or temporary crown.

How Are CEREC One Visit Crowns Placed?

In the past a dental crown took two visits to complete. At the first visit, your tooth would be shaved down and a putty impression would be taken. The impression would then be sent to a laboratory where your crown would be made. This process could take up to two weeks and you would have to wear a temporary crown in the meantime. At the second appointment, the temporary crown would be removed and the permanent crown finally positioned. CEREC one visit tooth restorations complete this entire process in one short visit. With the CEREC technology camera, computer, and milling machine, there’s no need for uncomfortable molds or temporaries. The CAD/CAM technology can automatically create your restoration, allowing Dr. Giamberardino to permanently bond your custom- fabricated crown faster than ever before.

Is It Time to Get Dental Implants?

160537986 Dental implants can make a big difference in your life if you have missing teeth to replace. Dentures can be challenging after a long period of wear. If you have dentures made from plastic and cast metal, you may have experienced irritation to your gum tissue. Denture wearers may experience slippage and movement while talking or eating. Dentures need to be replaced every five to seven years and can also contribute to the damage of your bone and facial structure if worn too long.

Dr. Giamberardino and his team at proudly serve patients throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Natural– Dental implants are actually tiny titanium posts. Titanium is naturally compatible with the human body.
Comfort– Dental implants are surgically implanted into your jaw bone. As the implant heals it will fuse with your jaw bone which creates stability and prevents slippage. The stability makes it easier to chew, bite food and speak confidently.
Versatility– Dental implants can be used in a variety of ways to replace one tooth, an implant supported bridge, or an entire set of implant supported dentures.
Long Term Results– Dental implants can last a lifetime with consistent oral hygiene.
Bone Stabilization– Each of your teeth is surrounded by bone which exists entirely to support your teeth and facial structure. When a tooth is lost, the bone surrounding it will cease to have a function and become reabsorbed by the body. Dental implants can prevent this bone from reabsorbing and preserve your facial bone structure.

Crowns Made Easy Thanks To CEREC

July 22, 2014

shutterstock_153698357 There is no doubt that we live in an era where we want things done as quickly and as simply as possible. It seems as though no matter what it is, many people want to accomplish tasks with as little complication and in the shortest amount of time. In the world of dentistry, it is no different. Many people would like a quick fix to their smile, whether it is whitening their teeth, straightening them, or even getting a routine cleaning done. Luckily, one thing that Dr. Anthony Giamberardino can give you quickly and easily is a new crown! With the help of CEREC, we are able to give our patients reliable, beautiful crowns all in a single appointment.

The process of getting your new crown starts by preparing your natural tooth. A scanner then examines your prepared tooth, as well as the surrounding area, and sends the information it has accumulated to a computer. Once the computer interprets the information, it displays a picture of your new crown. The computer communicates with our in-office milling machine, and it goes to work. Your CEREC crown is then etched from a single porcelain block, the porcelain matching your tooth color exactly. The machine makes your crown in between 10 to 20 minutes, and once your crown is finished, it is made permanent onto your prepared tooth. After everything is finished, you are left with a beautifully restored smile you can be proud of.

One of the advantages of CEREC is that the crown is metal and mercury free, giving you a natural look to your smile. With metal fillings, the toxins in the metal can spread throughout your entire body, which is never a good thing to have happen. Another benefit to CEREC crowns is that deliver more durability than traditional crowns, making them perfect for teeth located in the back of the mouth. No impressions are needed for CEREC crowns, getting rid of the mess and discomfort normally associated with having to have a crown made. If you feel as though Dr. Giamberardino and CEREC are able to benefit you and your smile, make an appointment with our office today, and we’d love to help!

Have A Seamless Smile with Tooth-Colored Fillings

June 17, 2014

shutterstock_171073526 Now that summer is here, people want to make the most out of their summer vacation! Trips to the beach and laying out at the pool, or even a family backyard barbeque, there is no doubt you are going to be smiling, laughing, and having a wonderful time. Unfortunately, if you are insecure with your smile, the smiling and laughing may be more difficult for you. If you have metal fillings that put a rain cloud over your smile, Let Dr. Anthony Giamberardino give you the natural smile you have been wanting with tooth-colored fillings!

When we address a cavity or any other procedure, Dr. Giamberardino uses tooth-colored fillings to make your smile complete. We are able to make the filling match your tooth color exactly, that way the filling is able to blend in seamlessly with your natural smile. Metal fillings, also known as amalgam fillings, are overtly obvious in your smile as well as being unhealthy for the rest of your body. Over time, the metal courses throughout your body, toxins and all. With tooth-colored fillings, you are able to enjoy a natural smile while also enjoying a healthier body.

One benefit to tooth-colored fillings is that you are able to keep much more of your natural, original tooth structure. With this, your smile is not only more natural looking, but more natural all together. Amalgam fillings have been known to be the cause of breaks and cracks in the tooth, which only leads you into a world of discomfort and more money being spent. If you are curious about how tooth-colored fillings can give you a perfect smile, contact our office, and we will be more than happy to help!

Crown and Bridge Therapy with Dr. Giamberardino

May 27, 2014

shutterstock_99705527 If you have an incomplete smile, you may find it hard to be one hundred percent confident in the way you look and in the way you present yourself to others. Many people consider a smile a first impression, and not being confident in the way you look definitely has an effect on the way you interact with others. Having teeth missing from your smile can make a big impact on your oral and bodily health, and Dr. Giamberardino is able to give you the full smile you have always wanted with the use of crowns and bridges.

A crown, also known as a dental cap, is placed atop an existing tooth as to prevent it from any further harm or damage. Looking exactly like natural teeth, crowns are able to give you a healthy, beautiful smile without looking unnatural. There are many reasons why someone would need a crown, such as a cavity that as gone awry and a filling would not be able to take care of the issue. Crowns are also excellent for cracked or fractured teeth, after root canal therapy, or to keep a fixed bridge into place.

Bridges are used to replace a missing tooth, or a row of teeth, kept in place by crowns affixed to remaining teeth. The important thing with bridges is that you must have healthy, stable teeth to act as anchors to keep the bridge properly in place. Because bridges are not able to be moved, you do not have to worry about it moving out of place, being able to enjoy the security of your smile at all times.

If you are curious about crowns and bridges and how Dr. Giamberardino can help give you a great looking smile in no time, please contact our office and make an appointment! We would love to see you, and will be more than happy to help!

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

February 12, 2014

Dental implants, yo. Many people consider a smile a first impression, and when you are not confident in your smile, it can be detrimental to your self-esteem. If you have teeth missing from your smile, you may lack the confidence it takes to make a memorable first impression. Aside from being aesthetically displeasing, having missing teeth can be detrimental for the rest of your teeth, as they will start to shift to fill the empty space. Luckily, Dr. Giamberardino is able to offer a permanent solution to your dental woes with the help of dental implants.

Your journey to dental implants begins with a consultation with Dr. Giamberardino. There, he will be able to fully assess your smile in its current state, and he will speak with you about what your long term goals are regarding your smile. During the consultation, you will also be able to address any questions or concerns you may have, as we want you to be informed every step of the way.

If it is determined you are a candidate for dental implants, the procedure commences with embedding a titanium screw into the socket where the missing tooth is. This screw will act as a new tooth root, and will fuse with your bone. After that, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the implant and the crown. The tooth-resembling crown is added after the abutment, completing your new, beautiful smile!

One of the great things about dental implants is the fact they can last a lifetime, and they look like your natural teeth! Dental implants are easy to take care of, and, most importantly, they can restore your self confidence. When you are confident in your smile and yourself, that confidence has the potential to leak into many areas of your life, resulting in a more well-rounded life! If you have any questions on dental implants and how Dr. Giamberardino can help, make an appointment today!

Dr. Giamberardino Can Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

September 25, 2013

Is the appearance of your smile marred due to missing teeth? Do you find yourself wishing for a complete smile once again but aren’t sure what to do? At Giamberardino Dental Care we can help restore your smile and replace missing teeth with dental implants.

Dental implants are a preferred tooth-replacement option because they are a more secure and permanent solution than other methods. For implants, a titanium post will be inserted into your jawbone. Over time the post and your jawbone will bond, creating a secure base for your implant. This firm base helps to mimic the roots of a natural tooth and ensures that your dental implant will last. The post will be topped with a custom crafted crown to complete your restoration.

Another benefit of dental implants is that this method helps to retain more of your jawbone and keep it from deteriorating over time. Once the roots of your teeth are gone, it’s harder to retain your natural bone structure. Also, you won’t have any fit or potential slippage issues like you would with dentures.

If you’re missing teeth, dental implants are a great choice to restore your smile and replace missing teeth. If you’re interested in learning more, please give us a call. We want all of our patients to have beautiful, complete smiles.
