PATIENT FINANCING OPTIONS
If you want to finance any treatment we are able to accommodate you. Just let us know and we can discuss your options.
WHAT'S NEW
Dentistry is full of new techniques! Do you usually feel the administration of local anesthesia (novocaine)? Has any dental professional mentioned that slight reshaping of your front teeth can dramatically improve your smile? Are you aware of new technology in restorative dentistry that eliminates the blackened silver/mercury fillings that mar some smiles? Have you seen how easy it is to whiten your existing teeth?
CAN I GET FLEX SPENDING?
Absolutely – if you have put aside tax free money with your employer we will be happy to help you with the paperwork to use it. And if you would like estimates to help you put aside the right amount for next year, we can provide you with accurate amounts and make sure you don’t leave it with the employer too!
Extractions
Dental Extractions and Bone Grafts
Although we make every effort to help you keep your teeth for a lifetime, there may be times extractions are indicated. Wisdom teeth may be impacted, an orthodontist may request removal of teeth to create a more ideal result, or occasionally decay or gum disease can progress to the point that a tooth is impossible to restore.
For most of our patients a tooth can be easily removed with local anesthetic (novocaine). Some of our more nervous patients find that anxiety medication (conscious sedation) is helpful. Occasionally, we refer to an oral surgeon who will provide intravenous (IV) sedation.
Recovery is normally quick, and most people can return to work or normal activities the following day. We have found that swelling is rare (except after wisdom teeth removal) and can be controlled with icepacks and anti-inflammatory medications.
Bone Grafting is often done in conjunction with an extraction when an implant is planned. Bone grafting will ensure that the implant is placed in an ideal position. There are other indications for a bone graft and this is always an individualized recommendation.
Located in Tewksbury, we are proud to serve the Greater Boston communities of Andover, Billerica, Chelmsford, and Wilmington, Massachusetts.
