Dental Services

Natick Dental Associates is equipped to handle all your needs. To help you understand your options, we've included descriptions of some of our leading services on this page.

Initial Oral Examination

Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take recommended x-rays. It is always helpful if you are able to acquire any old x-ray films from your previous dentist. This will prevent us from taking any unnecessary films as well as being able to compare new films to old ones.

Invisalign

Invisalign makes it easy to straighten your teeth without bands, brackets, or wires.

Teeth Whitening

We have incorporated a program into our office we call "WHITE TEETH FOR LIFE". Call the office for details. Hundreds of our patients have enrolled in the program and have been thrilled with the results.

Dental Implants

It is the general consensus in the dental community that replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth with implants is the closest thing to what nature had originally given us. It is the first dental restoration that I have frequently heard referred to as "permanent". Bridges are made to replace missing teeth by anchoring to other teeth in your mouth. They are cemented in place and do not have to be removed.

Crowns

You can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns. Present day materials make it very difficult even up close to distinguish between an all-porcelain crown and a natural tooth. For back teeth we have a choice of multiple materials for crowns. Certain materials are more durable and may be more appropriate for the heavy chewing forces we expose these teeth to on a daily basis.

Porcelain Veneers

Thin shells of porcelain custom crafted to close spaces, change the shape, and improve the shade of your teeth. These are tremendously strong restorations with minimal shaping needed to your own teeth.

Fillings

We provide fillings that range from composite (white fillings), porcelain (white fillings and most durable), to amalgam (silver) and gold.

Periodontal Treatment

You should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year.  

Removable Prosthesis

For missing teeth we make partial dentures and full dentures. These appliances although not as desirable as bridge work or implants, can be made very esthetic without any metal showing which was standard for many years.

Bite Guards

Destructive forces from grinding your teeth can occur during your sleeping hours. Custom bite guards can be made to prevent abnormal wear to your teeth and prevent TMJ issues.
