Maintaining optimal dental health is vital for overall well-being, as a radiant smile reflects overall health. Scientific studies have demonstrated direct correlations between oral health and systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. At Smiles of Groton, the mission of Dr. Marc and and our entire dental staff is to safeguard your oral health and enhance your quality of life. Our comprehensive dental services encompass preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and emergency dentistry, ensuring all of your dental needs are met expertly.

Preventive Dentistry

A cornerstone of our practice is preventive dentistry, catering to patients of all ages, from infants to seniors. Our preventive measures are simple yet effective, aiming to protect and prevent potential dental issues. Regular appointments involve professional cleanings and thorough check-up examinations. Additionally, adults may undergo oral cancer screenings, while children may receive fluoride treatments. We also offer periodontal care and maintenance to help protect, prevent, and treat gum disease. Night guards and mouth guards are another way we help protect your teeth. If any signs of tooth decay or gum disease are detected, prompt restorative treatment may be necessary.

Restorative Dentistry

Our restorative dentistry services aim to rectify various dental issues, including decay, gum disease, and structural damage. Depending on the severity of the problem, treatments may range from dental fillings for minor decay, to dental crowns for extensive damage. We also provide inlays and onlays, which are different types of dental crowns that are used when a regular dental filling may not be enough. We offer root canal treatments to clean out infections that can invade the pulp of your tooth. In cases where a tooth is beyond salvageable, tooth extraction may be recommended. We offer various tooth replacement options such as dental bridges, dental implants, and dentures to restore function and aesthetics.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Advancements in dental technology have revolutionized cosmetic dentistry, enabling us to enhance the appearance of teeth more effectively than ever before. Cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening, porcelain crowns, veneers and dental bonding are popular procedures used to transform the size, shape, and color of the teeth to bring about a more pleasing and brighter smile. Porcelain crowns and veneers, renowned for their aesthetic appeal, serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes.

Implant Dentistry

The absence of teeth can result in significant issues in the future, such as bite misalignment, tooth misalignment, and bone loss. Fortunately, patients near Dunstable, MA now have access to a variety of tooth replacement alternatives. At Smiles of Groton, we excel in various full-tooth restoration procedures, including dental implants. Dental implants have transformed the approach to addressing tooth loss, offering numerous advantages that have made them the preferred choice for tooth replacement.

Dental implants are most often made out of titanium. These posts are surgically implanted into the jawbone. They offer a durable and permanent solution for missing teeth. Through the process of osseointegration, the implants fuse with the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for prosthetic teeth that withstand biting forces. Dental implants are hailed as the closest alternative to natural teeth due to their stability and functionality.

Dental implants can replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or a full dental arch. Different types of dental implants are used, depending on the need for tooth replacement. An implant-supported restoration closely resembles natural teeth, providing an exceptional solution for restoring function and aesthetics.

Emergency Dentistry

A dental emergency often stems from some type of facial trauma or injury, perhaps from engaging in contact sports or a car accident. Whatever the cause of the emergency, being equipped with the right knowledge and taking swift action during such emergencies can significantly impact the outcome, potentially saving a tooth. Immediate action and prompt scheduling of an emergency appointment are crucial. For some situations, such as replacing a knocked-out tooth, you have a short period in which you can save the tooth, and it is thus, necessary that you get in to see us as soon as possible. At Smiles of Groton, we prioritize emergency appointments, ensuring timely care. Do not hesitate to contact our office at(978) 449-4679 in the case of a dental emergency for you, your child, or any member of your family.
