Dental Examination
It is our desire to provide each patient with the highest quality dental care through our enthusiastic commitment to teamwork through comfortable patient relationships. Your first visit is important to us. We try to allow extra time to get to know you and your mouth by taking all necessary x-rays along with an extensive oral exam. If possible, we attempt to schedule your cleaning on that same day with our hygiene staff.
X-rays
Radiation from dental x-rays is low. Current guidelines say it is more risky for a pregnant woman to postpone necessary dental treatment than to have an x-ray. This is because dental disease not treated during pregnancy can lead to problems for you and your baby.
Oral Cancer Screening
Your dentist checks for cancer every time you visit. Cancers that are found early can be easier to treat-so these types of cancer screenings are one more reason to see your dentist regularly.

Teeth Cleaning
Even if you brush twice a day, there are places your toothbrush bristles can’t reach. Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gumline. A simple routine of daily teeth cleaning, good eating habits and regular dental visits can help prevent tooth decay (cavities) and gum disease.
Fluoride Treatment
Two more important ways a dentist can prevent cavities include fluoride treatments and dental sealants, a coating that protects the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Your dentist will let you know if these treatments are right for your child.
Dental Sealants
Our teeth are covered with a sticky film of bacteria, called plaque (sounds like PLAK). When we eat or drink anything that contains sugar-such as cookies, candy, soda, juice, or sports drinks-bacteria turn the sugar into acids that can attack tooth enamel. Over time, these attacks may cause tooth decay, or cavities. The good news is that there is a way to protect teeth and prevent decay: dental sealants.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Veneers are made of either porcelain or composite resin material. Your dentist will help you choose the material that is best for you. Each type of veneer has its own benefits.
Veneers
If you want to improve your smile, dental veneers are a simple option. Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. They look like natural teeth. Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as...
Crowns
When teeth are healthy, gum tissue fits around each tooth like a cuff. In a tooth with gum recession, the gum tissue has pulled away from the tooth. This can leave the tooth root exposed. Since the root surface does not have a hard enamel covering like the crown (top) of the tooth, the root may become sensitive to hot and cold. Also, the exposed tooth root is more at risk for decay.
Bridges
Another tooth replacement option is a fixed bridge. This is a restoration that fills the space where one or more teeth have been lost. A fixed bridge is bonded or cemented into place – only a dentist can remove it.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Your teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth often were pulled. But today, even if the pulp inside one of your teeth is injured or infected, the tooth often can be saved through root canal (endodontic) treatment. Endodontics (end-o-DON-tics) is the branch of dentistry that deals with treating diseases or injuries to the dental pulp. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in root canal and other endodontic treatments.

Periodontal Surgery
If the pockets do not heal enough after scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery may be needed. Surgery allows the dentist to remove tartar and plaque from hard-to-reach areas. Then the gums are stitched into place to hug the teeth tightly. Surgery can reduce pocket depth and make it easier to keep teeth clean.
Deep Cleaning
Even with these measures, some patients develop more severe periodontal disease. The first step in treating the disease usually involves a special deep cleaning called “scaling and root planing.” In this treatment, the dentist removes plaque and tartar down to the bottom of each periodontal pocket. This treatment may be done over several visits, depending on your needs.

Dentures
If you have lost some or all of your natural teeth, dentures can replace your missing teeth and improve your quality of life. With a little practice, dentures can make eating and speaking easier. You can smile freely without feeling embarrassed.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are an effective way to replace missing teeth. When teeth are lost because of disease or an accident, dental implants may be a good option. You may want to choose dental implants if you...

Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment for adults Adults can benefit from orthodontics, too. Many seek treatment to correct long-time problems or to correct changes that happened over time. The basic process involved in moving teeth is the same at all ages. Usually an adult’s treatment takes a little longer than a child’s treatment. No matter your age, it’s never too late to improve your dental health and beautify your smile.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Dr. Edmar Upite Dr. Edmar Upite received a B.A. in microbiology at Miami University in Ohio in 1994, achieved his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the Ohio State University in 1998, and completed a General Practice Residency at the University of Maryland Hospital at Baltimore in 1999. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Massachusetts Dental Society and the Merrimack Valley Dental Society. Dr. Upite is also a certified Invisalign provider. He enjoys running, hiking, skiing and spending time with his wife and two children Rowan and Avery.
Braces
Types of orthodontic treatment There are different types of orthodontic treatment that can be used to correct a bad bite. Your bite is a complex system. Your teeth, jaws, gums, and facial muscles work together to help you chew, speak, and smile. To get your bite in line, a few different steps may be needed. Your dentist or orthodontist will discuss which type of treatment is best for you. Braces Braces move teeth by applying pressure. The braces usually consist of small brackets cemented to your teeth, connected by a wire or rubber bands. The wire is regularly tightened by the dentist or orthodontist to gradually shift your teeth and jaw. The brackets may be metal or tooth colored. Sometimes brackets are placed on the backs of your teeth to make them less visible. Aligners Aligners are made of clear plastic or acrylic material and are worn over your teeth to straighten them. Each set of custom-made aligners is worn for a few weeks or maybe a month. Then you get a new set for the next stage of your treatment. This way, your teeth are gradually moved into the correct position according to your treatment plan. Aligners are removable and need to be taken out before you eat, brush, and floss. Because they are removable, you must be sure to follow your dentist’s instructions on how long to wear them each day. Surgical correction Some patients may have an upper or lower jaw that sticks out and causes their bite to be uneven. In some cases, surgery may be needed to improve the function and appearance of their bites.

Teeth Whitening
If your teeth are discolored, tooth whitening may help. “Whitening” is any process that can make teeth look whiter. It may be safely done at home or in a dental office.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Tooth whitening is one the safest, easiest and most remarkable procedures in cosmetic dentistry. You can revitalize your teeth to a healthy, more vibrant appearance and erase the signs of aging thanks to the modern technology of teeth whitening. We utilize a simple at-home whitening kit you can use during the day or night in the convenience of your home. This allows you to control the level of whitening you desire, in addition to allowing future touch-ups periodically with the reusable custom-made trays in this system. The results are incredible and long-lasting.
General Dentistry
We offer many services to care for your oral health, from professional cleanings to teeth whitening. Although our team possesses the skills to treat complex restorative and cosmetic dentistry cases, we are still a family oriented practice and will care for all of your general dentistry needs. We want our service and your smile to exceed your expectations.
