Teeth Whitening for a Summer Bright Smile in Medford, MA

June 30, 2015

ThinkstockPhotos-187957730So, does Massachusetts deserve an awesome summer, or what? After the winter we survived, everyone in Medford, MA, and the surrounding communities should have a very enjoyable summer. And with all there is to do in the area—cheer for the Red Sox, have a clambake on the Cape, explore the New England Aquarium, stroll through old Boston, sail down the Charles River—there will be plenty of smiles to go around. If you want to make sure your smile will look its best, then now is the time to visit Dr. Anthony Giamberardino for teeth whitening Medford can rely on for a brighter smile.

If your teeth are yellowed, stained or otherwise discolored, then you’re in good company. Millions of Americans have less than perfectly white smiles and the reasons are all generally the same:

  • Commonly consumed foods and drinks, such as berries and tomatoes or coffee and red wine
  • Smoking and chewing tobacco are prime culprits for stained teeth
  • Certain medications, such as the antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline
  • Teeth grinding and clenching, which can darken the biting surfaces of your teeth
  • Improper oral hygiene
  • The aging process
  • Tooth injuries
  • Genetic predisposition to teeth that are more yellow, brown or gray in color

Teeth Whitening Summerville Smiles For this Summer!

Sure, there are plenty of over-the-counter options for teeth whitening. The problems with those are that you have no idea how long they’ve been sitting on the store shelf. And the longer they sit, the less potent the whitening formula becomes. At Dr. Giamberardino’s office, we offer take home teeth whitening kits that you can be certain are full strength. Our take home kit includes custom-fitted whitening trays and professional grade bleaching gel. Simply fill the trays with gel and wear them for the amount of time Dr. Giamberardino instructs.

For people who have staining or discoloration that will not respond to teeth whitening, we also offer porcelain veneers, which are adhesively bonded to the front side of the teeth in your smile zone in order to create a clean and white smile.

Brighten Your Smile and Your Day with a Professional Teeth Whitening Appointment in Medford, MA

March 24, 2015

101799276Have you ever wished for a brighter, whiter smile? If so, you’re certainly not alone. Many patients try to achieve a whiter smile using teeth whitening toothpastes and other over-the-counter “solutions.” However, these patients quickly discover just how ineffective these options can be. The only truly reliable method for whitening your teeth is to schedule a professional teeth whitening appointment with Giamberardino Dental Care today.  Dr. Giamberardino is a highly skilled cosmetic dentist, now delivering quality care daily throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and the surrounding communities.

Why Do We Need Teeth Whitening?

Our teeth stain and discolor over time for many reasons, including:

  • Foods/drinks: Coffee, tea, colas, wines, and certain fruits and vegetables can stain your teeth.
  • Tobacco use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can also stain teeth.
  • Poor dental hygiene habits: Inadequate brushing and flossing to remove plaque and stain-producing substances can discolor your teeth.
  • Disease: Several diseases that affect enamel and dentin can lead to tooth discoloration.
  • Taking certain medications: The antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline are known to discolor teeth when given to children, mouth rinses and washes containing chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium chloride can also stain teeth, and antihistamines, antipsychotic drugs, and drugs for high blood pressure can also cause tooth discoloration.
  • Metal fillings and caps: Some of the materials used in dentistry, such as metal restorations, can cast a gray-black color to teeth.
  • Age: As we age, the outer layer of enamel on our teeth wears away, revealing the naturally yellow dentin underneath.
  • Genetics: Some people have naturally brighter or thicker enamel.
  • Environment: Excessive fluoride either from environmental sources or from excessive use can also cause tooth discoloration.
  • Dental trauma: Damage from a fall can disturb enamel formation in young children whose teeth are still developing.

Dr. Giamberardino Offers Convenient and Reliable Teeth Whitening

We offer take home teeth whitening kits formulated with professional grade ingredients for a superior whitening experience. Our take home kit includes custom whitening trays and professional strength bleaching gel so that you can brighten your smile at your leisure in the comfort of your own home.

Restore Your Complete Smile with High Quality Crown and Bridge Restorations in Medford, MA

March 10, 2015

78769905Our primary goal is always to protect and preserve your natural teeth. However, if your natural teeth are lost, they should be replaced immediately in order to maintain normal oral functioning and regain good oral health. Not all patients are able to receive dental implant tooth replacement, and in these cases, a fixed crown and bridge restoration is a great alternative. You can schedule the crown and bridge restoration appointment you need with Giamberardino Dental Care today.  Dr. Giamberardino is a highly qualified restorative dentist, now proudly renewing smiles daily throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and the surrounding communities.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a restoration that can cover the entire part of a tooth above the gum line, similar to a cap on a head. Modern dental crowns are made to mimic natural tooth structure and the majority of crowns are made of tooth colored ceramics. Crowns are custom shaped and fabricated to look and function just like your normal healthy teeth.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge involves the crowning of teeth on either side of the gap left by a missing tooth or teeth. These crowns serve as support or “abutment” teeth. The abutment teeth are attached to additional crowns (artificial teeth) in between, which serve to replace your missing teeth. Therefore dental bridges are made of the artificial teeth which actually “bridge the gap” and the dental crowns which hold them in place.

Do You Need a Crown and Bridge Restoration?

You may need to have teeth replaced as a result of decay, dental abscess, dental trauma, or advanced gum disease. Replacing these missing teeth is vitally important to help restore your chewing ability, preserve your youthful facial contours, and renew your confident smile. Another reason for immediate tooth replacement is to prevent the neighboring teeth from drifting out of place and causing bite misalignments or TMJ disorder.

Dr. Giamberardino Provides Gentle and Effective Gum Disease Treatment in Medford, MA

February 24, 2015

78629542Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss and the development of more serious health concerns. Periodontal disease (gum disease) can destroy the gums and bone that support your teeth. Gum disease has also been linked to other medical conditions, including: heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and diabetes. Most patients don’t even realize they have gum disease until after the condition has advanced to the later, more dangerous stages. The only way to protect your health from the dangers of gum disease is to visit the dentist regularly for routine dental checkups and cleanings. If you already have gum disease, Dr. Giamberardino can develop a treatment plan to repair the damage and return your teeth and gums to optimal health. Make an appointment with Giamberardino Dental Care for the gum disease treatment you need today.  Dr. Giamberardino can fully restore the health of your gum tissue. Giamberardino Dental Care proudly protects the health of families daily throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and the surrounding communities.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease begins when the bacteria in the plaque that is stuck on your teeth infects and inflames your gum tissue. Gingivitis is the mildest form of the disease. It causes your gums to turn red, swollen, and bleed after brushing. However, there is little to no discomfort at this stage. Gingivitis is reversible with professional dental cleanings and good oral hygiene. If left untreated, gingivitis can advance into periodontitis. With periodontitis, plaque spreads and grows below the gum line. Toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque further irritate the gums. The toxins stimulate a defensive response in which your body begins to turns on itself, and the tissues and bone that support your teeth are broken down and destroyed. If you have periodontitis, your gums will begin to separate from the teeth, forming deep pockets that in turn become infected. As the disease progresses, more and more gum tissue and bone are destroyed, eventually leading to tooth loss and the need for reconstructive gum surgeries.

Do You Have Gum Disease?

If you have been experiencing any combination of the following symptoms, you should make an immediate appointment for gum disease treatment:

  • Red, purple, swollen or tender gums
  • Bleeding gums
  • Receding gums
  • Loosened or separating teeth
  • Pus at the gum line
  • Mouth sores
  • Halitosis
  • A change in your bite
  • Suddenly ill fitting dentures

How Can Gum Disease Be Treated?

Dr. Giamberardino will start your treatment with a combination of scaling and root planing to carefully clean and disinfect the root surfaces of your teeth.  He will gently remove all plaque and tarter from your periodontal pockets and smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins. If your gum disease is not too far advanced, scaling and root planing is often all that’s needed to stop and repair the damage. However, the majority of patients will require ongoing maintenance and gum disease therapy to sustain their oral health.

Medford Gum Disease Treatment

If you suspect that you need gum disease treatment, make an appointment with Giamberardino Dental Care today.  Dr. Giamberardino is an experienced restorative dentist. Giamberardino Dental Care delivers quality care daily throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and the surrounding communities.

February 10, 2015

79940950Do your dentures ever slip out of place while you’re eating, speaking, yawning, or laughing? This could be a clear sign that you need new, better fitting dentures. Dentures are supposed to be natural-looking removable replacement teeth. However, many long time denture wearers are dissatisfied with the fit and comfort of their old dentures.

Modern dentures are designed to return the mouth to full functionality, while accurately mimicking the aesthetics of natural teeth and gums.

January 24, 2015

CEREC one visit crowns are more durable and longer lasting than traditional dental crowns restorations.

Giamberardino Dental Care restores smiles daily throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and the surrounding communities.

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.

What Are the Benefits of CEREC One Visit Crowns?

  • CEREC crowns are made in one visit, saving you considerable time
  • With CEREC, there is no need for a temporary crown, which eliminates a significant discomfort
  • CEREC crowns are metal free and natural looking
  • CEREC material and technology can also be used for fillings and veneers
  • CEREC saves money over the long run because there is no extra appointment required

Preventive Dentistry 101: The Importance of Dental Checkups

January 10, 2015

159289454Do you take your dental health seriously? Many patients choose to skip their regular dental checkups because they don’t have any pain or discomfort in their teeth. This causes them to only see a dentist for dental emergencies. However, this is a risky and costly approach to dental care. Making a commitment to good dental health means that you take your preventive dentistry appointments seriously by keeping them. A typical dental checkup and dental cleaning appointment is quick and easy.  Dr. Giamberardino will carefully and gently inspect the condition of your mouth, teeth and gums, looking for any signs of gum disease, loose or broken teeth, or damaged tooth fillings or decay. He will also examine your head and neck, your bite, and the movement of your jaw. Your teeth will then be thoroughly cleaned, polished, and flossed, leaving them fresh and sparkling. Skipping these preventive dentistry appointments will only put you at greater risk for more invasive and costly procedures in the future. To avoid this all too common pitfall, make an appointment with Giamberardino Dental Care for your preventive dentistry checkup today.  Dr. Giamberardino is a trusted family dentist, now proudly serving patients throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and the surrounding communities.

What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is proactive dental care. Dr. Giamberardino can stop dental problems before they start.  Your teeth will be checked for early signs of decay, faulty fillings, cracks, and wear. The gums will be checked for signs of gum disease, and your bones, cheeks, tongue, palate and other parts of the mouth and face will also be examined for any unusual swellings or surface changes.

Why Is Preventive Dentistry So Important?

The benefits of maintaining your smile are plenty. Healthy teeth will boost your confidence and improve your overall health and well-being. A regular preventive dentistry check-up allows Dr. Giamberardino to keep your mouth healthy. Leaving problems untreated only makes them more difficult to treat in the future, so it’s best to deal with them early, or prevent them altogether. Bacteria from untreated gum disease can actually spread infection to other parts of your body. Some non-dental conditions have symptoms that appear in the mouth early on. A regular preventive dentistry examination can reveal signs of vitamin insufficiencies, osteoporosis, and more serious conditions such as diabetes and oral cancer. Regular dental checkups are also good for your pocketbook too. Identifying and treating minor problems like dental cavities early on, can spare you the time and expense of more complicated restorative dentistry procedures such as a tooth extractions and root canal therapy in the future.

Be proactive with your dental health. Make an appointment with Giamberardino Dental Care for your preventive dentistry needs today.  Giamberardino Dental Care can help you fight off costly dental problems.
