Cleaning in Marlborough MA
DentalBonding
Versatile dental bonding material enables us to make fast repairs to an imperfect smile. First, we match this material to our patient’s tooth color. We can then repair chips or make spaces between the teeth go away. We can also lengthen teeth that are too short, correct a poorly shaped tooth or conceal severe discoloration that will not respond to whitening. In a single visit, we can markedly improve a patient’s smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our patients love the fact that their fillings are now tooth-colored. Unlike older metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings will not darken. Some patients ask us to replace metal fillings with clean, white composite resin fillings as part of their cosmetic programs.
PorcelainVeneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to correct chipped or broken teeth. They can also be placed over a single tooth or all the visible teeth, to give teeth a more attractive shape or conceal spaces between them. Teeth with mild-to-moderate misalignment can also be corrected with
DentalCrowns
When a tooth has both a cosmetic and a structural problem, it may need a new crown to protect it. As an example, if a tooth has fracture or has suffered an injury that results in discoloration, a crown keeps it strong and safe while giving it a bright new appearance.
Teeth Whitening
Sometimes, the only change that’s needed to get a patient smiling again is brightening the color of their teeth with a whitening treatment. We offer our patients the Zoom! in-office and at-home treatments. The in-office treatment brightens teeth as much as seven shades in about an hour. The at-home program can brighten teeth as much as six shades with a three-night treatment and help the patient maintain that brightness as well.
Other Services
Very often, a person that has suffered damage to their smile is also missing some teeth. As part of their new smile, they may need replacements for these missing teeth. We are skilled and experienced in providing dental implants, bridges or partial dentures to fill in these smiles.
At Union Dental, we prioritize the importance of maintaining optimal oral health, and our professional teeth cleaning services are designed to keep your smile bright, healthy, and free from plaque and tartar.
The Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleaning in Marlborough
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Even with diligent oral hygiene practices at home, plaque and tartar can accumulate on your teeth over time. Our skilled dental hygienists use specialized tools to gently remove these deposits, preventing the development of cavities and gum disease.
Prevention of Gum Disease: Regular teeth cleanings play a crucial role in preventing gum disease. By removing plaque and tartar, we help reduce the risk of gingivitis and more advanced stages of periodontal disease, protecting the health of your gums and supporting structures.
Brighter, Whiter Smile: Professional teeth cleaning not only contributes to a healthier smile but also enhances its aesthetic appeal. Removing surface stains and polishing your teeth during the cleaning process can leave you with a brighter, whiter smile.
Early Detection of Oral Issues: Routine dental cleanings provide an opportunity for our dental professionals to detect any early signs of dental issues. This includes identifying cavities, gum inflammation, or other concerns that may require further attention. Early intervention can prevent the progression of dental problems and save you from more extensive treatments.
Fresh Breath: Bad breath can often be attributed to the presence of bacteria in the mouth. Through thorough cleaning and polishing, our dental hygienists help eliminate bacteria, leaving your breath fresher and more pleasant.
What to Expect During a Teeth Cleaning Appointment
Teeth cleaning services, also known as dental cleanings are professional dental procedures performed by dental hygienists or dentists to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the surfaces of teeth. These cleanings are an essential part of preventive dental care and are typically recommended every six months as part of routine dental check-ups.
Here's what you can expect from teeth cleaning services
Plaque and Tartar Removal: Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, and if not removed, it can harden into tartar (calculus). Professional teeth cleaning involves the removal of both plaque and tartar using specialized dental instruments.
Thorough Cleaning: Our dental hygienists use scalers and curettes to carefully clean each tooth's surface, including areas between teeth and along the gumline. This process helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Polishing: After plaque and tartar removal, a polishing procedure is performed using a mild abrasive toothpaste and a rotating rubber cup or brush. This helps remove surface stains and leaves teeth with a smoother, cleaner feel.
Fluoride Treatment (Optional): Some teeth cleaning services may include a fluoride treatment. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
Oral Health Assessment: During your teeth cleaning in Marlborough we will assess the overall health of your teeth and gums. Our experts will check for signs of gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues.
Oral Hygiene Education: Dental hygienists often provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, including effective brushing and flossing techniques. They may also recommend specific oral care products tailored to your needs.
Teeth cleaning services play a crucial role in maintaining good oral health, and preventing cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems. Regular dental cleanings are part of a comprehensive approach to preventive dentistry, along with routine dental check-ups, X-rays, and other preventive measures.
It's important to note that teeth cleaning services are not a substitute for daily oral hygiene practices at home. Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing, and maintaining a healthy diet are essential components of a proper oral care routine.
