Amanda’s Story

All-On-4

Although many people ignore this problem, especially in the back of their smiles, even a single missing tooth can cause loss of bone and shifting of surrounding teeth. In addition, the empty spaces can harbor bacteria and cause a gum infection that can spread to other parts of your body when left untreated.

Issues Cosmetic Dentistry Can Correct

No other teeth whitening solution provides the instantaneous and dramatic results in just a few hours as that of our professional teeth whitening services in Holbrook & Scituate, MA. The professional-grade bleaching agents found in our whitening solutions soak deep into your tooth enamel, to remove internal as well as surface-level stains. Additionally, most patients report that they did not experience any tooth or gum sensitivity during or after their whitening session. Our cosmetic dentist helps you choose the most complementary shade and monitor your treatment for the best possible results. Generally, if you maintain a good oral hygiene routine, professional cleanings, and minimize teeth-staining foods and beverages, your teeth have the potential to remain noticeably white long-term!

Understanding Possible Solutions

Dentures are traditionally the most affordable option, although they lack the natural functionality and long-term benefits of full mouth dental implants. Our interdisciplinary dental team has many years of training and experience leveraging innovative technologies and advanced skills when placing and restoring full arch dental implants in Holbrook, MA and Scituate, MA.

We leverage top implant technologies from StraumannNDX nSequence, and TeethXpress and offer the All-On-4 protocol. Also known as implant supported dentures, All-on-4 full mouth dental implants consist of four small titanium posts that support a crafted row of teeth that are custom-fitted to your mouth.

Among its many benefits, this protocol offers the potential to bypass bone grafting if you have bone density loss in your upper or lower jaw. This protocol also offers some flexibility, with the ability to use six or eight implants for added support.

Our Efficient Process

Stage 1: Comprehensive Consultation

If you’ve been told by another practice that you’re not a candidate, we provide free initial consultations and second opinions. Dr. Salem will ask you about your smile goals and personal preferences and encourage you to ask questions or discuss concerns during this visit.

Once you’ve decided to restore your smile, Dr. Salem assesses your oral health, provides clinical recommendations, and performs diagnostic imaging to determine the best placement for your implants. You’ll walk out of our office with a clear understanding of all the steps involved in your smile journey – from the cost of care – to clinical information specific to your unique smile restoration.

It takes a few months for dental implants to fuse with your jaw through a process called osseointegration and the sites to completely heal. Once this process is complete, you’ll return to our office to receive your final customized restoration created from zirconia or nanoceramics.

Zirconia is a high-quality material that looks and feels like your natural teeth, with wear-resistant durability, superior strength, and beautiful aesthetics that resist stains and fractures. Nanoceramic implants are the newest technological breakthrough in permanent implant-supported bridges, featuring beautiful custom-milled ceramic infused with a specialized resin that closely mimics the natural flexing of your real teeth when you chew.

After you receive full mouth dental implants from Pearl Dental Associates, you’ll never have to worry again about common issues associated with dentures, such as teeth falling out, clicking, slipping, or removing them at night for cleaning!

Like countless other patients that received full mouth dental implants in Holbrook and Scituate, MA, you’ll walk out of our practice with a restored sense of self, the ability to eat all the foods you love, and the overwhelming desire to smile ear to ear!

Select Treatments to Restore Pearly Whites

  • Porcelain Veneers

    Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays are a huge leap forward in dentistry. They capture greater detail, take less time to produce, and emit up to 80% less radiation, thereby providing many patients with peace of mind (especially parents). In addition, they don’t require toxic darkroom chemicals to be processed, limiting our practice’s impact on the local environment.

  • Teeth Whitening

    One of the biggest past challenges in dentistry was helping patients understand their dental needs when they couldn’t see what their dentist was talking about. Our intraoral camera allows us to capture close-up, high-resolution images of your teeth and gums, which we can immediately show you on a chairside monitor. This camera is a tremendously helpful for patient education and enhances our ability to thoroughly explain the benefits of specific treatments.

Candidates for Porcelain Veneers

Virtually all patients with cosmetic problems are candidates for dental veneers if they are in good oral health. As a cosmetic dentistry treatment, veneers aren’t meant to resolve functional issues with teeth, such as a bad bite (malocclusion). Instead, they can be a great option if you have the following issues in your smile zone, or the teeth that show when you smile:

Inlays and onlays perform a function similar to fillings but are used to repair the outside surfaces of your teeth. In many cases these can make placing new crowns on the teeth unnecessary. Inlays restore the middle of the biting surface of the tooth while onlays are used to cover a wider area that includes at least one cusp, the raised areas on the top of the tooth. Inlays and onlays can be colored matched to your tooth for a seamless, consistently bright smile.
