EMA Dental’s Pioneer Valley Dentistry Experts Celebrate Nat’l Prosthodontics Awareness Week

emadental — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:22:36 +0000

PIONEER VALLEY, MA — From March 7 through March 13, 2010, Dr. Vincent Mariano and Dr. Thomas Vergo of Pioneer Valley dentistry practice EMA Dental will be participating in the first annual National Prosthodontics Awareness Week. The event, hosted by the American College of Prosthodontists aims to inform the public about the importance of replacing missing teeth to maintain a healthy mouth and body.

EMA Dental will be participating in Prosthodontics Awareness Week by hosting an open house for the community to learn more about prosthodontics and the benefits of treatment.

“To be a part of the first awareness event for prosthodontics is very exciting for me as a professional,” said Dr. Mariano, a Pioneer Valley dental implants specialist. “The prosthodontics field is my passion, and I invite anyone who can benefit from this life-altering treatment to come visit me during this event to learn about treatment that can change lives.”

Prosthodontics includes treatments such as single and multiple tooth dental implants, bridges, and partial and full dentures. In order to be recognized as a prosthodontic specialist by the American Dental Association, dental practitioners need at least two to three years of extra dental school in the field of prevention and treatment of tooth loss.

Tooth loss can occur from tooth decay, gum disease, injuries, cancer, or even wear and tear comments Pioneer Valley dentist Dr. Vergo. Untreated tooth loss typically results in the deformation of the facial muscles and bone shrinkage in the jaw.“Not only do people need to recognize that tooth loss is a sign of serious health complications, but tooth loss will also deteriorate confidence,” said Pioneer Valley prosthodonticst Dr. Mariano. “However, we have excellent care available for virtually all treatment scenarios. That’s what this event is all about. Making people aware of the risks and that help is available.”

Dr. Mariano is the only Board Certified Prosthodontist in the Pioneer Valley region. In addition to prosthodontics, EMA Dental is a family dentistry center providing general dentistry services such as cleanings, fillings, and other services as well as cosmetic dentistry services. From their East Longmeadow and Northampton locations, Pioneer Valley cosmetic dentist Dr. Lisa Emirzian provides smile restorations, teeth whitening, and crown and veneer restorations. EMA Dental is also a Pioneer Valley Invisalign provider.

East Longmeadow/Northampton Dentist Discusses Invisible Orthodontic

emadental — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 06:49:37 +0000

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.”

Invisalign

For patients who have no patience for metal brackets, Invisalign treatment avoids metal brackets and wires altogether. Invisalign.com notes that Invisalign treatment utilizes clear, plastic tray ‘aligners’ that fasten directly over a patient’s teeth.
The aligners are special made for each patient by Invisalign, and gradually shift teeth into an aesthetically correct position over the course of treatment. Every two weeks, patients visit their dentist for a quick checkup and for their new aligner trays.
“Because Invisalign trays are removable, patients are responsible for keeping the aligners in place at least 22 hours per day,” says Northampton Invisalign dentist Dr. Emirzian. “The only occasion deemed acceptable to remove the aligners is for meals. But, since they are virtually invisible, leaving them in isn’t much of a burden to patients.”
Getting started with Invisalign begins with a consultation with a certified dentist or orthodontist. After the evaluation, a dental impression of the patient’s teeth is taken. These impressions are sent to Invisalign, where the complete set of tray aligners is manufactured for the course of treatment. On the next appointment, the patient receives his or her first trays, and treatment begins.
Average costs for Invisalign are around $5000, with treatment typically taking 12 to 15 months. After treatment is completed, patients are required to wear a retainer to preserve the patient’s new smile.
Invisalign ranks dentists and orthodontists in Invisalign expertise based upon case experience. Dr. Lisa Emirzian is listed on Invisalign’s Web site as a Preferred Provider. This status means that Dr. Emirzian has achieved “Preferred Provider” status, meaning that she has all of the current training and experience to provide Invisalign consultations and treatment. For more information on providers, visit www.invisalign.com.

Conditions

Because Invisalign fastens over a patient’s teeth, patients with severely misaligned teeth or missing teeth are not candidates for Invisalign treatment. However, these patients can be treated with traditional braces to correct their misalignments.
In most cases, child patients should be treated with traditional braces, as baby teeth make Invisalign treatment more difficult. Also, for young patients, Invisalign’s clear, removable aligners pose a danger as they can be easily lost. Also, the aligners are made of plastic, which can be easily cracked or chipped.

“People curious about Invisalign treatment should start with questions with their dentist,” says Dr. Emirzian, a Northampton general dentist focusing on esthetic and smile enhancement. “There are several qualifying factors for treatments that need to be identified before treatment begins. But there are more treatments out there than ever, and most patients enter treatment with great optimism and anticipation for a renewed, gorgeous smile.”
