An Affordable Dentist Gives You a Beautiful Smile, Promotes Confidence and Restores Proper Eating Ability

Don’t let stained, cracked, or misshapen teeth ruin your confidence. We offer in-office whitening, which can give you a dazzling Hollywood smile in about one hour. As an alternative, you can boost the brightness of your smile with professional-grade, custom-made trays designed for home use. If your teeth are chipped or misshapen, bonding or veneers can correct it. Dental veneers can also give slightly crooked teeth a uniform appearance much quicker than braces can.

At the dental office of Dr. Rose L. Wang, DMD we offer a multitude of cosmetic dentistry services that other dentists may not be able to provide. Services such as tooth colored fillings, tooth sealants, tooth whitening veneers, tooth inlays/onlays, dental bonding, dental implants, teeth extracting,  teeth bleaching, dental crowns, custom fitted dentures, etc. often provided with only one office visit. We’ve invested in the technology to make your cosmetic dental improvements as painless and beautiful as possible.

Bonding

Bonding can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or disarranged, and is an alternative to veneers. For more information on teeth bonding in our office at Nashua, NH, please give us a call at (781) 241-4177.

 

How does it work?

The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance.

 

Considerations

The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit, and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before repair is needed.

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. There are numerous disease entities requiring different treatment approaches. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in genetically susceptible individuals. Daily brushing and flossing will prevent most periodontal conditions.

 

Why is oral hygiene so important?

Adults over 35 lose more teeth to gum diseases, (periodontal disease) than from cavities. Three out of four adults are affected at some time in their life. The best way to prevent cavities and periodontal disease is by good tooth brushing and flossing techniques, performed daily.

Periodontal disease and decay are both caused by bacterial plaque. Plaque is a colorless film, which sticks to your teeth at the gum line. Plaque constantly forms on your teeth. By thorough daily brushing and flossing you can remove these germs and help prevent periodontal disease.

Periodontal diseases can be accelerated by a number of different factors. However, it is mainly caused by the bacteria found in dental plaque, a sticky colorless film that constantly forms on your teeth. If not carefully removed by daily brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into a rough, porous substance known as calculus (or tartar).

 

Periodontal Disease

Bacteria found in plaque produces toxins or poisons that irritate the gums, which may cause them to turn red, swell and bleed easily. If this irritation is prolonged, the gums separate from the teeth, causing pockets (spaces) to form. As periodontal diseases progress, the supporting gum tissue and bone that holds teeth in place deteriorate. If left untreated, this leads to tooth loss.

 

Preventing Gum Disease

The best way to prevent gum disease is effective daily brushing and flossing as well as regular professional examinations and cleanings. Unfortunately, even with the most diligent home dental care, people still can develop some form of periodontal disease. Once this disease starts, professional intervention is necessary to prevent its progress.
