FAQ

Our dentists and team are pleased to provide a variety of cosmetic dental services to enhance your smile, including:

• Dental Bonding – Bonding is a simple and effective option for enhancing your smile. This treatment involves a composite resin which is applied to your teeth and then sculpted to match the contours of your teeth, giving you a picture-perfect smile in just one visit. Bonding is a more conservative treatment option, as it involves little or no removal of your natural tooth structure.
• Dental Veneers – These custom-made, tooth-colored shells are crafted from porcelain or composite resin and fit perfectly over the front surfaces of your teeth. Veneers cover imperfections to give you a flawless smile. Using digital impressions, our dentists ensures your veneers are precisely designed to achieve an ideal fit and appearance.
• Invisalign® Clear Aligners – Invisalign aligners offer a discreet way to straighten teeth without the need for braces. These virtually invisible aligners are crafted for comfort and effectiveness, gently guiding your teeth into alignment.
• Zoom Teeth Whitening – With Zoom whitening, you can brighten your teeth up to eight shades in just one visit. You can also opt for take-home kits to whiten your smile at your convenience.
• Smile Makeovers– A smile makeover is a more comprehensive cosmetic treatment option, working to completely redesign your smile. It may involve purely cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening or bonding, as well as veneers, orthodontic treatment and restorative options such as crowns, bridges or implants. Our dentists will discuss your options and your treatment plan with you.

Invisalign aligners are designed to correct a variety of orthodontic issues, including:

• Crowded Teeth – Overlapping teeth make brushing and flossing challenging, which may increase the risk of cavities.
• Gapped Teeth – Gaps between teeth can arise from irregular tooth development or missing teeth, affecting both function and aesthetics.
• Overbite – When upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth, it can lead to uneven wear.
• Underbite – Lower teeth that protrude past the upper ones may impact speech and chewing ability.
• Crossbite – In this case, some upper teeth sit inside the lower ones, increasing the potential for wear or chipping.
• Open Bite – A gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed can interfere with bite function and appearance.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The length of treatment varies, but most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months. For optimal results, wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day. Staying consistent helps you achieve your desired smile efficiently.

Professional teeth whitening provides fast, noticeable results. Your appointment will begin with a cleaning to remove surface stains. A protective barrier is applied to shield your gums, followed by the whitening solution, which is activated by a special light to accelerate the process. The session typically lasts about an hour, with many patients seeing their teeth brighten by several shades in one visit.

Is teeth whitening safe?
Under professional supervision, teeth whitening is safe and effective. Our practice uses high-quality whitening products designed to minimize sensitivity and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

How do you reduce the risk of sensitivity?
We tailor each whitening session to your specific needs to prevent discomfort. Unlike over-the-counter products, our customized approach protects your teeth and gums from irritation.

Our experienced dentists and team provide a variety of endodontic treatments to restore your oral health, including:

• Root Canal Therapy – This procedure removes damaged or infected tissue from the inside of a tooth, helping to preserve it and avoid extraction. Most root canals are completed comfortably in one or two visits, alleviating pain and restoring the tooth’s function.
• Root Canal Retreatment – While root canals are usually very successful, occasionally a treated tooth can become reinfected. In these cases, root canal retreatment follows the same steps as the initial procedure to remove any infection, ensuring your tooth remains healthy and functional.

Contact us today at 617-795-7211 to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can help with your endodontic needs in Newton Centre, Massachusetts.

A root canal is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. The treatment generally requires one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the case. Dr. Kaceli and Dr. Mabry will begin by numbing the area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once numb, a small opening is made in the top of the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp tissue.

Specialized instruments are used to carefully remove the infected pulp and thoroughly clean and disinfect the canals. This step ensures all bacteria are eliminated, reducing the risk of future infection. Afterward, the canals are filled with gutta-percha, a rubber-like material that seals the tooth.

A temporary filling may be placed initially to protect the tooth while a custom crown is made. At your follow-up appointment, dentists will fit a permanent dental crown over the treated tooth, restoring its strength and functionality. After the procedure, mild discomfort is common but should fade within a few days, leaving you with a healthy, pain-free tooth.

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, impacts nearly half of adults over 30 in the United States. A significant reason for these high numbers is that early symptoms can be subtle and easy to dismiss. Many people think bleeding gums are normal, not realizing this could be a sign of gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it is essential to schedule a dental cleaning and evaluation with our dentists to safeguard your oral health:

• Bleeding when brushing or flossing
• Red, swollen or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Gum recession, making teeth appear longer
• A change in how your bite feels
• Pockets or gaps forming between teeth and gums

How to reduce your risk of gum disease
The key to preventing gum disease is maintaining a consistent oral care routine. Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and floss daily to remove plaque from between teeth. In addition to home care, regular professional dental visits are crucial. We recommend scheduling a cleaning with our dentists and team every six months so we can monitor your gum health and address any concerns early.

Most healthy adults make excellent candidates for dental implants. Successful implant placement depends on several factors, including the health of your gums, the density of your jawbone and your overall physical condition. Even if you have experienced bone loss, treatments like bone grafting can often prepare your jaw to support implants, making them a viable solution for restoring your smile.
Key factors for dental implant candidacy

• General Health – Good overall health is crucial. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease may need to be managed before proceeding with implant placement.
• Gum Health – Healthy gums are essential for implant success. If gum disease is present, it must be treated prior to placement to ensure the best outcome.
• Jawbone Density – A strong jawbone is necessary to anchor the implant. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting can help restore the density needed for support.
• Non-Smoking Status – While smokers are not automatically disqualified, smoking can impair healing and affect long-term success. Non-smokers generally achieve better results.
• Oral Hygiene Commitment – A dedication to oral hygiene is vital for maintaining gum health and ensuring the longevity of your implants.

Even individuals with chronic conditions or those who smoke may still be eligible for implants after a thorough evaluation. To learn more or determine if dental implants are right for you, contact our office at 617-795-7211 to schedule a consultation with our experienced dentists.

A tooth extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired or poses a risk to your oral health. Common reasons include severe decay, advanced gum disease or trauma that leaves the tooth non-restorable. In some cases, extractions are also required to create space for orthodontic treatment or to remove impacted wisdom teeth that are causing pain, infection or alignment issues.

What should I expect during a tooth extraction?
Your comfort is our priority throughout the procedure. We will numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure you feel no discomfort. For a simple extraction, the tooth will be gently loosened and removed. In more complex situations, such as impacted wisdom teeth, a small incision may be made to access the tooth. After the tooth is removed, dissolvable stitches may be used, and gauze will be placed to control bleeding.

How should I care for my mouth after an extraction?
Proper aftercare is crucial for healing and preventing complications. Bite down on the provided gauze for 30 to 45 minutes to control bleeding. For the first 24 hours, avoid smoking, drinking through a straw or rinsing your mouth vigorously. Applying ice packs can help minimize swelling and sticking to soft foods will make eating more comfortable as you recover. Following these instructions will promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.

Preventive dentistry is essential for maintaining lifelong oral health. We offer a variety of preventive services to help keep your smile in top shape:

• Dental cleanings and exams – Routine cleanings and exams are essential for oral health. During these visits, we thoroughly clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar and carefully examine your mouth for any developing issues. We recommend scheduling a cleaning and exam every six months with our dentists.
• Emergency dental care – Accidents and dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly. Whether you experience a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache or oral injury, our dentists and team provide prompt care to relieve pain and protect your oral health.

Our dentists and team offer a range of restorative treatments to help you regain a healthy, functional smile. These services include:

• Biomimetic dentistry– This advanced approach focuses on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Biomimetic techniques use materials and methods that mimic the natural properties of teeth, leading to longer-lasting, more durable restorations. It aims to prevent unnecessary tooth removal while maintaining the integrity of the natural tooth.
• Composite dental fillings– Composite fillings offer a natural-looking way to restore teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. Made from tooth-colored resin, these fillings blend seamlessly with your smile and provide durable protection without compromising aesthetics.
• Dental bridges– Bridges are a reliable option for replacing one or more missing teeth in a row. They consist of prosthetic teeth anchored in place with crowns on adjacent teeth or with dental implants. Bridges restore function and aesthetics and usually require two appointments to complete.
• Dental crowns– Crowns are designed to protect and restore damaged teeth. They are often recommended for cracked, decayed or weakened teeth, as well as for those that have undergone root canal therapy. Crowns can also be placed atop dental implants to restore missing teeth. Typically, crown treatment is completed in two visits.
• Dental inlays and onlays – Inlays and onlays are a great option for repairing teeth with moderate decay or damage that do not require a full crown. Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps, or pointed tips, of the tooth. These restorations strengthen and preserve the natural tooth.
• Dentures and partials – Full and partial dentures are removable solutions for replacing multiple missing teeth. Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, while partials are designed to fill gaps where some natural teeth remain. Both options help restore function, improve speech and enhance appearance.

• Initial Consultation – Your journey begins with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to assess your dental health. Based on our findings, dentists will recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
• Tooth Preparation – For a crown, the affected tooth will be cleaned and shaped to accommodate the restoration. If a bridge is needed, the teeth adjacent to the gap will be prepared to support the crowns anchoring the bridge.
• Temporary Restoration – A temporary crown or bridge will be placed to protect your teeth while your custom restoration is being crafted at our trusted dental lab.
• Custom Restoration – Using precise digital impressions, we will work closely with a high-quality lab to create your crown or bridge. This ensures your restoration fits comfortably, functions properly and blends naturally with your smile.
