Cosmetic Bonding Provides a Quick Smile Update

July 22, 2013

At Dr. Giamberardino’s dental office, we offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry solutions to help improve your smile. One of these procedures is cosmetic bonding. This is a quick way to improve the appearance of your smile.

Bonding describes a process of affixing cosmetic resin to the teeth to help cover up flaws or imperfections. The resin is cured and hardened for a strong bond with your tooth. Cosmetic bonding is used to hide chips and stains, cover small gaps and even help to correct a slight misalignment. The resin is custom matched to your tooth color for a natural looking restoration.

This treatment is best for correcting small areas. If more extensive restorations are needed, crowns or porcelain veneers may be a better choice. Dr. Giamberardino can examine your smile and come up with the right treatment to help your smile look great.

If you’re not satisfied with your smile when you look in the mirror, there’s a lot of cosmetic dentistry solutions available to help. Cosmetic bonding can be a great way to improve the appearance of your smile by covering over small imperfections.

Giamberardino Dental Care provides quality general and cosmetic dentistry from our Medford, MA dental office. We serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities. Call us today to schedule your next appointment.

The Importance of Flossing

July 15, 2013

While we all know that it’s important to floss our teeth daily, that doesn’t mean we’re all doing it. It’s really important to make sure you floss because flossing removes food particles stuck between your teeth that can contribute to decay.

Flossing is an important part of general dentistry and can help keep your smile healthy. When you come visit us at Giamberardino Dental Care for your dental checkup we can answer any questions you might have about flossing and can demonstrate the proper technique. Plaque can build up between your teeth and can harden into calculus or tartar. Over time this could lead to decay or even gum disease, so it’s important to floss regularly.

This article from the ADA (American Dental Association) has some helpful tips on the proper flossing technique. If you have trouble getting in between your teeth with the floss, a floss threader or disposable pre-threaded flosser can be helpful. These are all found at drugstores.

Take time now to properly take care of your teeth by brushing and flossing and you’ll have a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime. At your next visit we’ll even give you some floss to help get started! If you have any questions about flossing, just give us a call.

Mini Dental Implants Can Complete Smiles

July 8, 2013

Are you missing teeth but you either don’t want to go through a traditional dental implant surgery or don’t have enough jaw bone to support implants? You don’t have to live with an incomplete smile any longer. Giamberardino Dental Care offers mini dental implants to help patients such as yourself have a complete smile once again.

Mini dental implants allow for greater denture stability without an extensive surgery process. A titanium implant will be inserted during a minimally invasive surgery with a much shorter healing process than traditional dental implants. Your dentures will be attached to the post to remain securely in your mouth.

The titanium post will mimic the function of a tooth root and help to anchor your replacement teeth. The dentures will rest on your gums and won’t slip or come out because they’re implant secured. Your mini dental implants can usually be placed in one appointment, leaving you with a restored smile faster than ever.

We want to offer a wide variety of smile solutions to help all our patients find the right choice for their smile needs. Mini dental implants can be a good choice to quickly and securely anchor your dentures to your smile. Give us a call today to learn more or schedule your appointment.

CEREC Same Visit Crowns

January 29, 2013

CEREC crowns are a great example of how technology helps us improve the quality of care we provide to our patients.

Thus, your crown can be placed in a single visit, which is helpful with our busy lives. Fewer appointments mean you can get a crown with less hassle.

Also, we take digital impressions, so there are no gooey impressions that make you want to gag! This digital image will be used to create your crown. Your crown will be metal and mercury free, as well as carefully matched to resemble the color and shape of your natural teeth

If you’re interested in CEREC crowns, give us a call to set up a consultation. Thanks to CEREC technology, your crown can be made and placed during the same visit. This is a great way to have a crown placed with less time and hassle than ever before!

Improve Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

January 22, 2013

Are you dissatisfied with your smile and want to make a change to the size, shape, or color of your teeth? Have you been putting it off because you’re concerned this will require extensive dental work? You should look into porcelain veneers from Giamberardino Dental Care.

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of dental porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth, thus changing the appearance of your teeth. They can help if your teeth are stained or discolored, chipped, cracked, or misaligned.

Since the veneers are affixed to the front of your teeth, they can smooth over all these concerns. Also, they’re often called “instant orthodontics” because they can hide slight misalignments or gaps between your teeth instantly without having to wait for braces to work.

Dr. Giamberardino will custom design your porcelain veneers, so they’ll give you a healthy, natural look and compliment your facial structure. The procedure will only take two appointments and then you’ll have a beautiful smile you can’t wait to show off.

Are porcelain veneers right for you? Stop hiding or being disappointed in your smile! Schedule your appointment today with Dr. Giamberardino to learn more and see if this is the solution you’ve been waiting for. We want all our patients to have smiles they’re proud of. We even offer complimentary computer simulations so that patients can see how their own smile can be enhanced with porcelain veneers!

Take Advantage of Your Existing Dental Benefits Now, Before the Year Ends

November 13, 2012

We’re well into November now. That means, with less than two months to go until 2013, many patients will see their current dental benefits expire soon. Which is why we wanted to use today’s post to talk about what that means so you can make the most of what you have while you still have it.

For most plans, dental benefits don’t rollover from one year to the next. Instead, they’re renewed. That means you’ll be facing a new deductible next year that you’ll need to pay before your insurance company starts covering care. If you’ve paid your deductible for 2012, why put off important care till next year—when you’ll have a new deductible to pay—when you could do it now and benefit from the help your insurance provides?

Another reason to use your benefits now is that your premiums or co-pays may be different next year. Without knowing what they will be, it can be difficult to plan for next year. But because you know what your current fees are, you can make plans now for getting the care you need.

Do you already know you need care? Is it time for your next checkup and cleaning? Don’t wait until next year to get started. Call Giamberardino Dental Care in Medford today to reserve your appointment. Dr. Giamberardino and his office proudly serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and beyond.
