What Can Peabody Dental Care Do for You?
If you’re new to the area or new to our practice, you might not be familiar with everything you can get out of our Peabody dental care team. Maybe you normally only come in for the occasional cleaning, or maybe dental anxiety keeps you away until you can’t avoid seeing the dentist any longer. Whatever your situation, here’s an overview of what Dental Arts on Essex can provide.
Preventative Care
It’s always better, easier, and more affordable in Peabody dental care to maintain good oral than it is to work back up towards good oral health after treating a dental problem, and getting a professional dental cleaning and a dental exam every six months is one of the best tools in the prevention toolbox. Our hygienists are able to remove hardened tartar that’s impossible to remove at home, and the dentist can identify problems in their early stages so that we can address them before they get worse.
Another aspect of prevention that we cover in your regular visits is checking for the early signs of oral cancer. We use Oral ID’s fluorescent technology to detect areas where the cells are changing before it would be visible to the naked eye. This tool is critical for giving our patients the best possible outcomes.
Restorative Care
Our teeth perform many important functions throughout the day; they help us enunciate our words, give us our beautiful smiles, and allow us to chew our food effectively. If injury or decay has damaged one or more of your teeth, restorative treatment can help. A cavity can usually be repaired with a simple filling. If it covers an extensive portion of the tooth, a crown might be necessary. We will do everything possible to save a tooth, so if decay or damage has compromised the roots, we can perform a root canal before resorting to extraction.
Support for Gum Health
Healthy gums provide support and protection for our teeth. Unchecked gum disease can not only destroy gum tissue; it can lead to tooth loss and even complicate overall health issues like heart disease and diabetes. As your provider of Peabody dental care, we can help you get your gums back on track with deep cleaning, tissue regeneration, periodontal maintenance, and more.
Emergency Treatment
In the event of an injury that damages your teeth or gums, or if you are experiencing tooth pain, don’t wait! An essential element of our Peabody dental care is emergency dentistry. Like any dental problem, an emergency dental problem will not go away on its own, and time is often of the essence to getting the best results. A knocked-out tooth’s chances of being successfully replanted go down drastically over time. (Still make sure to prioritize your immediate overall health; if you need an emergency room visit, the dentist visit should wait.)
Cosmetic Dentistry
What if your teeth and gums are in great condition, but you still aren’t happy with the way your smile looks? We can help with that, too. Our Peabody dental care services include a range of cosmetic treatment options from teeth whitening to veneers, and we even offer cosmetic Botox to restore a more youthful appearance.
While we would refer you out for complex orthodontic treatment, we can also treat mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or alignment issues with clear aligners. You wouldn’t have to worry about the banned foods list or the difficulty of brushing and flossing around braces, and hardly anyone will notice the aligners.
Make Sure You’re Getting the Most out of Peabody Dental Care
We want to make sure you are aware of everything we can provide, because some patients might not realize that there can be more to it than regular cleanings or extensive last-minute care.
If it’s been a while since your last trip to the dentist, schedule an appointment at Dental Arts on Essex! If you’re curious about whether clear aligners or cosmetic treatments are right for you, schedule a consultation! If you’re experiencing painful symptoms of an untreated dental problem, don’t wait to come see us! We look forward to helping you with whatever you need from your Peabody dental care.
