Many adults in Massachusetts are considering whitening their teeth. At home kits make it look so easy, but do they really deliver? At EMA Dental, we provide you with teeth whitening procedures that are more effective and safer than whitening at home.

The Benefits of a Professional Whitening
Whitening kits seem easy, but they contain harsh chemicals that do not always work the first time. They are not nearly as effective as a professional whitening by a dentist.

Who Should Have Their Teeth Whitened?
You might be wondering whether or not you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. This is not an ideal procedure for everyone. Some patients who are not ideal for teeth whitening include patients who have

• Implants or crowns
• Fillings
• Poor oral hygiene
• Sensitive teeth

Even when having your teeth whitened by a professional, you need to proceed with caution. If your teeth are sensitive or they have had restoration work done, you need to talk to your dentist to determine if teeth whitening is right for you.

Our Refreshing Whitening Spa
At EMA Dental, we have taken teeth whitening to a new level with our refreshing teeth whitening spa. Our goal is for our patients to feel comfortable and relaxed while they undergo the procedure.

The whole point of a spa is for you to walk out feeling refreshed, happy, healthy, and beautiful. We thought to ourselves – why can’t you do that at your dental office? Our whitening spa requires no drilling, no fillings, and just a relaxed whitening experience.

We want you to smile from the moment you walk into our clinic until the moment you walk out.

Are you unhappy with your stained and discolored teeth? We want to help. Give us a call and we would be happy to set up a consultation to see whether our teeth whitening spa is right for you.

All you need to do is pick up the phone. Just remember, those teeth whitening kits you are using at home are nothing compared to the whitening technology we have inside our clinic. Set up an appointment to get your pearly white teeth back today.

At our dental clinic, we often hear patients express concern about dental implants. Luckily, traditional dental implants are not the only option.

Miniature Dental Implants – An Affordable Alternative
While they are not ideal for every patient, miniature dental implants are an affordable alternative to traditional implants. At EMA Dental, we have offered them to our patients for over 10 years.

Mini dental implants range between 1.8mm and 3mm. This can be compared to traditional implants which are typically 3.75mm in size. Mini implants can be installed in just one day.

There are many different benefits to choosing miniature dental implants over traditional implants:

• They provide security for removable dentures
• They take far less time to install
• They take less time to heal
• They are way more affordable (about half the price of traditional implants)

Types of Mini Implants
There are several different types of dental implants, including:

• Partial mini implants
• Full mini implants
• Supportive mini implants

Partial mini implants are ideal for replacing a small number of missing teeth. You will only need to visit our clinic one time to receive partial mini implants.

Full mini implants are ideal for an individual who needs an entire set of new teeth. Unfortunately, full mini implants will require more than one trip to our clinic.

Supportive mini implants are used with crowns, bridges, or dentures. They are intended to be a support for you tooth replacement procedure to make sure it is a success.

What Can You Expect From Us
Schedule a consultation with one of our dentists at EMA Dental so we can discuss your individual needs. This will give us a chance to make sure miniature implants are a good fit for you.

Smoking, heavy drinking and poor dental hygiene could mean you are a poor candidate for dental implants. Implants are a replacement for your natural teeth, and need to be treated as such. Bad habits are just going to ruin them like they ruin teeth.

When you come in for a consultation, we can go over whether or not these implants are a good fit for you.

EMA Dental is a dental clinic filled with a highly skilled and professional staff. Each of our doctors have had years of training and experience and are ready to help each of our patients individually.

Regular dentist visits are recommended to maintain the health of the teeth and gums. We offer full-service general dentistry including cleanings and regular check ups. Additionally, we provide crown services, bridgework services, and fillings.

Dental Crown Services

At EMA, we work to make each crown feel and look completely natural. Crowns are needed to recover the normal size and form of a damaged tooth. You should expect long-lasting results from crowns. They fix damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, and allow patients to chew and eat normally. Quality work is necessary to ensure the crown lasts.

Bridgework Services

Bridgework can also help fill in the space where teeth are missing. Missing teeth can lead the jaw bone to shrink and the teeth around it to move. Bridgework stops this from happening. It also helps the mouth and face return to a normal appearance. Overall, bridgework improves the health of the mouth and improves issues of speaking and eating.

Teeth Fillings

When there is a small cavity in the tooth, a filling is the best option. Our fillings are natural looking and meant to match the color the teeth. This will preserve the look and feel of the teeth. We can even replace old metal fillings with this new material. These fillings don’t contain mercury and help strengthen the tooth. After receiving fillings, patients report decreased sensitivity of the tooth and find it easier to chew.

At EMA dental, your dentist will help you decide which procedure is right for you. We are dedicated to providing the best possible dental care and restoration procedures. Many of our patients recommend our work. If you are looking for a general dentist for you and your family, give us a call today! We look forward to scheduling your first appointment.

Once again modern technology has delivered something new to the field of dentistry. This time it is braces with rubber bands. Your mouth was restricted; you could hardly eat or drink, let alone talk. The big change for braces was the introduction of colored elastic bands. Now there are different colors for different days, or maybe for different outfits, but, you still have that metal attached to your teeth.

Metal braces can be painful at times, and they change the appearance of the person wearing them. Food gets stuck between the bands, making brushing and dental hygiene a real chore.

With the advent of Invisalign braces many of the problems with braces are gone. Invisalign braces are clear, making it almost impossible for anyone to notice that they are even being worn. Invisalign braces are comfortable. They’re soft, yet strong. They serve the same purpose as metal braces with none of the problems.

Invisalign braces are custom fit for the patient. Not only are they effective and barely visible, but also they can be removed for cleaning of the teeth and the brace.

So, if you feel that your smile needs a little adjusting, ask your doctor about Invisalign. Invisalign braces are cost effective. They work to correct the alignment of the teeth in the same way as conventional braces but without the discomfort, wires, elastic bands, and other annoying issues that accompany metal braces.
