What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are actually just thin custom shells that can cover the front of a tooth to instantly correct cosmetic imperfections.

How Are Porcelain Veneers Applied?

  • The first step is to prepare your tooth for porcelain veneer This can involve polishing the tooth and removing small amounts of tooth structure. The amount removed is dependent on the amount of space needed for the new veneer; however, the goal is always to remove a minimal amount of natural tooth structure.
  • After your teeth have been prepared, impressions are taken. This information is then sent to a dental lab, for the custom fabrication of your new porcelain veneers. In the intervening time, you will need to wear temporary veneers to protect your teeth.
  • Once your new veneers have been fabricated, Gaitsgory will securely bond them to your teeth. Your prepared teeth and veneers will be etched to create tiny surface pores. Translucent cement will then be applied to form precise micromechanical attachments that allow your teeth and porcelain veneers to function as one complete unit.

Botox is a purified protein produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium.  A small amount of the protein is injected with a fine needle into the desired muscles of the face. Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles by blocking the transmitters that tell the muscles to contract. Botox is used in the glabellar muscle to erase frown lines between the eyebrows, reducing the appearance of wrinkles in the treatment area. The effects of Botox can last several months.

Cosmetic Dentistry Questions: What are my teeth whitening options?

October 17, 2014

83812897Your teeth are highly susceptible to staining and discoloration. There are many things that can yellow or darken your enamel.  Behavioral factors like drinking carbonated and caffeinated drinks and eating acidic foods or smoking, as well as uncontrollable factors, like advanced age and genetics can all affect the color of your teeth.

Her office is conveniently located in Framingham, MA, also serving patients in Middlesex County, Natick, Sudbury, Ashland, Southborough, Westborough, Marlborough, Hopkinton, Holliston, and Sherborn.

Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

You shouldn’t rely on whitening toothpaste to correct the color of severely stained teeth. In fact, whitening toothpastes can only polish the enamel. They cannot remove stains that are underneath the enamel. Once you have found effective whitening treatment, using a whitening toothpaste can help you fight the everyday staining of food and drinks.

At- Home Teeth Whitening Kits

You may be tempted to try an at-home whitening kit from your local drugstore. However, these kits may not be the best option. Instead of merely polishing the teeth, they actually contain bleaching agents that bleach the enamel. This is more effective than whitening toothpastes, but the harsh chemicals used may cause irritation to your gum line. There is also a risk of improper application if directions are unclear of if you make a mistake.

Reliable Teeth Whitening Treatments in Framingham, MA

The truth is that sometimes tooth enamel can be so badly damaged that no whitening treatment will be effective. At this point it may be necessary to consider another cosmetic procedure like porcelain veneers or dental bonding. The best teeth whitening option is to make an appointment with Dr. Gaitsgory today.

Let Dr. Gaitsgory Help With Your TMJ Pain

May 29, 2014

shutterstock_160305989

Living with any sort of pain can be extremely hard and taxing on the body. TMJ disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder, can involve pain around the ears and jaw, leaving you in extreme discomfort. TMJ can cause insatiable headaches, clicking or popping noises of the jaw, damaged teeth, and tension in the jaw, neck, head, and shoulder muscles. Dr. Marianna Gaitsgory is able to relieve you of your TMJ disorder in the comfort of her Framingham, MA office.
The temporomandibular joint is a very sensitive joint, as it is located where the skull meets the lower jaw. If you experience high volumes of stress, that can be a contributing factor to your pain. Even small things like changes in your eating habits, changes in activity, and any sort of injury or trauma can cause the joint to go out of alignment. The way the temporomandibular joint works is it is surrounded by certain muscles that contract and relax, all of which make the opening and closing of your mouth effortless.

Other things that can affect your TMJ pain are certain diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can also seriously exacerbate the pain, as clenching and overstressing of the muscles causes a lot of damage to the joint. Also, misaligned teeth and an off bite can create a misbalance with the way the joint and the muscles surrounding it work together. One of the ways Dr. Gaitsgory is able to relieve you of your TMJ pain is by offering it Night Guards, Bite Guards, and Bite Adjustments to her patients. These devices prevent your jaw from clenching, and Dr. Gaitsgory is able to recommend the best treatment option for you.

If you feel as though you suffer from TMJ pain, contact our office and schedule an appointment with Dr. Gaitsgory immediately. There are many ways we are able to help our patients alleviate their TMJ pain, and a lot of them are simple.
