Northampton, MA – “With an uncertain economy, many Americans are paring down their expenses,” notes Northampton dentist Dr. Lisa Emirizian. “But, regular dental visits are something you shouldn’t cut back on. Avoiding routine dental visits may save you money now, but it will not pay off in the long run. If a dentist recognizes a problem at an early stage, it is easier and less expensive to treat than if it’s found later.” Prevention is an important key to lifelong oral health.
“If they’re uncovered early enough, many serious conditions can be avoided,” explains on of the best Northampton MA dentists, Dr. Vincent Mariano. “Oral cancer, decay, abscesses, gum infections, tooth wear, and enamel erosion are all more successfully treated in the early stages.” If neglected, these problems become more serious, and more costly to fix.

NORTHAMPTON, MA — Some people are too embarrassed to undergo orthodontic treatment out of fear and anxiety. Children and teens fear teasing, while adults grow anxious about public perception and gawking stares from colleagues and peers. But, with the advent of invisible Invisalign orthodontics people don’t have to fear orthodontics anymore says Northampton dentist Dr. Lisa Emirzian of EMA Dental.
In just the last ten years, orthodontics has changed drastically. No longer are patients forced to expose their braces to the public while smiling or talking. Rather, this technology conceals treatment so that patients can live their lives worry-free of public scrutiny. If a patient is looking to improve his or her appearance by correcting tooth misalignments, the last thing he or she wants to do is wear braces that attract attention to their less-than-perfect smiles says Dr. Emirzian, a Northampton invisible braces provider.
“Recognizing the need for subtler technology, the dental community has responded with invisible braces which conceal brackets, and Invisalign treatment which renders treatment virtually unnoticeable,” adds Dr. Emirzian.
Though traditional braces, Invisalign, and other orthodontic methods allcorrect teeth misalignments, they differ in appearance and implementation, providing various options for each patient’s needs.
“One of my favorite experiences is when a patient completes his or her treatment,” says Dr. Emirzian. “The patient is absolutely beaming with pride and joy that they have this new, beautiful look. It’s rewarding to be a part of their self-improvement, and I’m always happy to help.”
