Taking Years Off Your Smile with Great Services from Giamberardino Dental Care

July 6, 2012

Time changes how you look and feel, but it also impacts your smile. Besides causing teeth to become stained, aging—and other factors, like decay or gum disease—can also cause teeth to weaken or fall out. But at Giamberardino Dental Care, we’re making smiles new again every day using some of the latest and most effective restorative services available anywhere.

Our services include dental implants, CEREC crowns, porcelain veneers, and much more.

Making Smiles New Again

One of the most effective services Dr. Giamberardino can offer his Medford-area patients is dental implants. With dental implants, it’s possible to replace both a missing tooth and a missing root. What’s more, implants are a versatile option—you can use them to replace just one tooth, a group of teeth, or an entire row.

Dental implants aren’t for everyone, though. That’s why our Medford office also features cosmetic services like porcelain veneers, and cosmetic-restorative services like crowns. Using our CEREC machine, we can create custom-milled porcelain crowns in about an hour, right in our office.

To find out more about the general, cosmetic, and restorative services we offer, explore our website, visit our YouTube page, or call our office. Our team would be happy to answer your questions, in addition to scheduling a visit for you. We serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and beyond.

Why Do Teeth Become Discolored?

May 10, 2012

In our last blog post, we talked briefly about the teeth whitening options available at Giamberardino Dental Care. In today’s post, we’ll look at the question posed in the title: why do teeth become discolored in the first place?

There’s no single reason. Instead, teeth discoloration is the result of several combined factors, including:

  • Foods
  • Beverages (coffees, teas, sodas, and wines)
  • Aging
  • Medications (tetracycline)
  • Excessive fluoride use
  • Genetics

One way to avoid stains is to cut back on, or even avoid, foods that are known to contribute to them. In cases where discoloration may be genetic, though, avoiding specific foods or drinks may not help. The same can also be said of brushing and flossing. While brushing and flossing are great for your oral health, they aren’t guaranteed to make your smile whiter.

Which is why, if you’ve dreamed of having a whiter smile, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our Medford office. During just a short appointment with Dr. Giamberardino, we can examine your smile and recommend a treatment that will be able to help you. In some cases, it may not be in-office or at-home teeth whitening. In other cases, it may be that a different cosmetic dentistry option would be better, like porcelain veneers or cosmetic bonding.

Get started on your smile makeover today. Call Giamberardino Dental Care to schedule your appointment. We serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding areas.

What Should I Expect from My First Visit at Giamberardino Dental Care?

May 8, 2012

Is your upcoming visit to Giamberardino Dental Care also your first? If so, we’d like to let you know what you can expect.

First, we want you to feel welcome. Our team will do that by spending some time getting to know you and making sure you’re absolutely comfortable. Simply feeling welcome can do a lot to dispel any anxiety a first visit may stir up.

Once you’re seated comfortably in our dental chair, and you’ve had a chance to get to know Dr. Giamberardino, we’ll begin your oral exam. During your exam, we’ll take a close look at your teeth, gums, head, neck, jaw, and bite to see how everything looks. We’ll also take X-rays so we can get a better look at how your smile’s doing. If we need to, we can also take images of your teeth and gums with our intraoral camera. With advanced tools like these, it’s much easier for Dr. Giamberardino to educate patients about their smiles.

After your exam, you can expect us to complete a professional cleaning. Why is a professional cleaning so important? Because as great as your daily brushing and flossing routine might be, it takes a professional cleaning to really get teeth at their cleanest. A professional cleaning also gives our hygienist a chance to check your gums for signs of gum disease and offer valuable oral health tips.

Do You Still Have Questions About Your First Visit?

If you still have questions about what you can expect from a first visit, give Giamberardino Dental Care a call today. We’d be happy to talk with you about your appointment. And if you haven’t yet, be sure to complete our new patient form before coming to see us.

From all of us at Giamberardino Dental Care, we look forward to meeting you!

Cosmetic Dentistry: Which Services Are Right for You?

March 19, 2012

At Giamberardino Dental Care, we have three popular cosmetic dentistry services to choose from:

But as great as each of these services are, not every patient is a good candidate for every service. That’s why, if you’ve been thinking about boosting your smile with a cosmetic service, it’s important that you pay Dr. Giamberardino’s Medford dental office a visit.

Based on your medical history, the state of your oral health, and your goals for the future, Dr. Giamberardino can put together a plan that’s made just for you. In some cases, it could be a combination of services, while in others it might just be one service, like teeth whitening. Sometimes, this is what’s called a smile makeover.

If you’d like to learn more about any of the cosmetic dentistry services offered at our Medford dental office, just visit our cosmetic dentistry page, or click on one of the links above. And if you’re ready to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Giamberaridino, just give our office a call. We serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, and Everett, and would be happy to answer all your questions as you begin exploring your cosmetic dentistry options.

Inflammation and Heart Health

February 22, 2012

For some patients, it might come as a surprise that heart health and oral health are connected. But as we mentioned in our last post, your oral and overall health are deeply connected. And with February being so well known for Valentine’s Day, we thought now would be a good time to reiterate that connection.

Gum disease starts with bacteria and plaque building up around the teeth and gums, causing your soft tissue to become irritate and inflamed. As this inflammation and irritation continue, pockets can develop in the gum tissue. These pockets give bacteria and plaque access to the heart via the bloodstream.

Once in the heart, further irritation will cause protective plaque to build up around the arterial walls, eventually blocking the flow of blood. It’s this lack of blood flow that could someday trigger a heart attack. All of which is why regular visits to Dr. Giamberardino’s Medford dental office are essential.

Would You Like To Learn More About The Oral Health-Heart Health Connect?

To learn more about the connection between the heart and your smile, schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Giamberardino at our Medford dental office. We’re committed to helping patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, and Everett lead healthy lives and have healthy smiles.

Protect Your Overall Health by Making Your Oral Health a Priority

January 19, 2012

On their own, most patients aren’t likely to imagine that their oral and overall health are connected. The reality, however, is there is much more overlap between them than most may realize.

Specifically, what connect these two separate spheres are bacteria and gum disease. When gum disease isn’t treated, pockets can form between a patient’s teeth and gums. These pockets give bacteria an entrance to the body’s bloodstream and, subsequently, the rest of the body, potentially contributing to a variety of health problems that includes: (more…)

Restore Your Smile with a New Crown or Bridge from Giamberardino Dental Care

October 11, 2011

When people see a confident smile, they associate what they see with certain qualities like success, happiness, and attractiveness. If your smile has a missing or damaged tooth, it may also be missing those qualities that can be striking to others. But with a crown or bridge from Dr. Giamberardino’s Medford dental office, we can help you replace what your smile’s been missing.

What Is A Crown & Bridge?

It’s actually a device made up of two crowns and, between them, your replacement tooth or teeth, if more than one is missing. When Dr. Giamberardino places your crown and bridge, your crowns will fit over your existing teeth, with your brand new tooth filling the gap in your smile like a puzzle piece. This is also known as a fixed bridge.

For patients who want a restoration that functions exactly like a natural tooth, Giamberardino Dental Care also offers implant-retained bridges. Not everyone is a candidate for dental implants, but for patients who are, an implant-retained bridge can bring return natural functionality to your bite.

In most cases, though, regardless of which type of bridge you’ll be receiving, Dr. Giamberardino can give patients an all-ceramic bridge. With an all-ceramic bridge you can have a replacement that looks as natural as a natural tooth.

Want to find out more about restoring your smile with a bridge? Give us a call today. Our Medford office is perfectly located to serve patients from Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding areas.
