Dental Services Provided by Watkin Dental
Here at Watkin Dental, we pride ourselves on being one of the most proficient dental offices in Fitchburg, MA, and the surrounding areas. We provide a wide array of services that focus on preventing as well as solving oral health issues. We approach dentistry from a whole-body health perspective, which means that we aren’t just solving problems in a patient’s mouth; instead, we are helping them to become healthy overall. Some of the dental services that we provide are:
Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Cosmetic dentistry is a category of dental services that focuses on improving the aesthetics of your smile. If you find yourself uncomfortable with your smile and sometimes stop yourself from smiling then cosmetic dentistry is something you should consider.
We provide a wide array of cosmetic dental services at Watkin Dental. After a quick consultation, the dentist will be able to suggest cosmetic dental procedures that will not only you feel comfortable with your smile but will also help strengthen your teeth so that your smile can last your entire lifetime.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are designed to provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth. These new teeth look, feel, and perform just like a regular tooth. Dental implants are changing the way our patients live. A person who has lost a tooth is able to regain the ability to eat with that tooth again. A dental implant appears completely natural and keeps your facial contours intact by preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. An implant is one of the healthiest ways to replace a missing tooth.
Dental Specialties: Root Canal Treatment and Tooth Extraction
Our natural teeth are better at doing what teeth do than even the most state-of-the-art replacement, which is why saving teeth with root canal treatment is so important. During root canal treatment, the doctor will carefully remove the pulp inside of a tooth, clean, disinfect, and shape the root canal, and then place a filling to seal the space. It’s a simple procedure that will relieve tooth pain caused by infection.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to extract a tooth, whether because it’s an impacted wisdom tooth, a baby tooth that isn’t coming loose on its own, or it is a tooth too damaged by injury or decay to be saved by endodontic treatment. That’s why we offer oral surgery such as tooth extraction at our practice.
Preventive Dentistry
The saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is completely true when it comes to dentistry. This aspect of dental care involves establishing habits that will keep your teeth healthy and help you avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more.
During your regular visit to Watkin Dental, your dental hygienist will point out any issues that you may be having with your oral hygiene. You’ll be able to take that advice and incorporate it into your brushing and flossing routine, potentially stopping a cavity or gum disease before it starts!
