Five Easy Holiday Dental Care Tips

  • Be Prepared– If you go to a holiday gathering or take a trip, remember to pack a spare toothbrush, toothpaste and some floss so that you don’t have to skimp on your oral hygiene routine.
  • Make Healthy Choices– Make a choice to avoid over indulging in sugary foods and drinks. Plan to fill up on healthy foods first.
  • Chew Gum- Keep a pack of sugar-less gum handy. The Xylitol found in sugar-less gum has been shown to help prevent cavities and tooth decay.
  • Got Dairy?-Low fat dairy products like milk and cheese contain tooth fortifying calcium. Milk also helps to wash away sugary residue and bacteria.
  • Get Dental Care You Need Now– It’s easy to put off or neglect one’s dental care because of the holidays. The extra sugar we consume over this time of year can exacerbate existing dental issues and wreak havoc for your teeth and gums in the New Year. Don’t put off needed holiday dental care.

Is It Time to Get Dental Implants?

November 10, 2014

160537986Dental implants can make a big difference in your life if you have missing teeth to replace. Dentures can be challenging after a long period of wear. If you have dentures made from plastic and cast metal, you may have experienced irritation to your gum tissue. Denture wearers may experience slippage and movement while talking or eating. Dentures need to be replaced every five to seven years and can also contribute to the damage of your bone and facial structure if worn too long. If you are ready to find a dentures alternative, you can make an appointment with Dr. Giamberardino today.  Dr. Giamberardino is an experienced dental implant dentist. Dr. Giamberardino and his team at proudly serve patients throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

  • NaturalDental implants are actually tiny titanium posts. Titanium is naturally compatible with the human body.
  • ComfortDental implants are surgically implanted into your jaw bone. As the implant heals it will fuse with your jaw bone which creates stability and prevents slippage.  The stability makes it easier to chew, bite food and speak confidently.
  • VersatilityDental implants can be used in a variety of ways to replace one tooth, an implant supported bridge, or an entire set of implant supported dentures.
  • Long Term ResultsDental implants can last a lifetime with consistent oral hygiene.
  • Bone Stabilization– Each of your teeth is surrounded by bone which exists entirely to support your teeth and facial structure. When a tooth is lost, the bone surrounding it will cease to have a function and become reabsorbed by the body. Dental implants can prevent this bone from reabsorbing and preserve your facial bone structure.

Dental implants can enrich your life in many ways. No matter how long you’ve depended on dentures to replace missing teeth, it’s never too late to consider dental implants. Make an appointment with Dr. Giamberardino for your dental implant consultation. The sooner you start the implant process, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of dental implants.

Making a Dentist Appointment Today Can Save Your Life Tomorrow: Oral Cancer Screenings

October 10, 2014

working dIf you are over forty, you probably make it a point to see your doctor regularly for breast or prostate cancer screenings. Yet most people don’t make a point to see their dentist for regular dental checkups. This oversight can be a costly mistake to your good health. Oral cancer screenings are just as important as other cancer screenings and are a routine part of a regular dental examination. Often, there is no pain associated with oral cancer development, therefore it can progress without detection if you avoid seeing the dentist. The good news is that oral cancer can be effectively treated if it is caught early enough. Don’t let a fear of dental care keep you from getting the oral cancer screening you need. Make an appointment with Dr. Giamberardino today. Dr. Giamberardino and his team proudly serve patients in Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities.

  • You use any tobacco or alcohol products.
  • You have an HPV Infection  (infection with the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus has been linked to 80% of oral cancer cases)
  • You are over the age of 40.
  • You enjoy a lot of sun exposure (cancer of the lips can be caused by sun exposure)
  • You have a poor diet (diets low in nutrients may play a role in oral cancer development)

Oral Cancer Symptoms:

  • A sore, irritation, lump or thick patch in your mouth, lip, or throat
  • A white or red patch inside the mouth
  • A constant feeling that something is caught in your throat
  • Difficulty chewing or swallowing normally
  • Difficulty moving your jaw or tongue
  • Numbness in any area of your mouth
  • Swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to become uncomfortable
  • Pain in one ear without hearing loss

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

February 12, 2014

Dental implants, yo.Many people consider a smile a first impression, and when you are not confident in your smile, it can be detrimental to your self-esteem. If you have teeth missing from your smile, you may lack the confidence it takes to make a memorable first impression. Aside from being aesthetically displeasing, having missing teeth can be detrimental for the rest of your teeth, as they will start to shift to fill the empty space. Luckily, Dr. Giamberardino is able to offer a permanent solution to your dental woes with the help of dental implants.

Your journey to dental implants begins with a consultation with Dr. Giamberardino. There, he will be able to fully assess your smile in its current state, and he will speak with you about what your long term goals are regarding your smile. During the consultation, you will also be able to address any questions or concerns you may have, as we want you to be informed every step of the way.

If it is determined you are a candidate for dental implants, the procedure commences with embedding a titanium screw into the socket where the missing tooth is. This screw will act as a new tooth root, and will fuse with your bone. After that, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the implant and the crown. The tooth-resembling crown is added after the abutment, completing your new, beautiful smile!

One of the great things about dental implants is the fact they can last a lifetime, and they look like your natural teeth! Dental implants are easy to take care of, and, most importantly, they can restore your self confidence. When you are confident in your smile and yourself, that confidence has the potential to leak into many areas of your life, resulting in a more well-rounded life! If you have any questions on dental implants and how Dr. Giamberardino can help, make an appointment today!

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

January 3, 2014

So many new developments and inventions have been made to create a world of beautiful healthy smiles, and at Giamberardino Dental Care, we pride ourselves in keeping up with the latest technology to benefit our patients. That is why we offer CEREC same-day crowns, a revolutionary technique  that will change how you feel about crowns forever.

What CEREC same-day crowns offers is the ability for Dr. Giamberardino to produce a custom-made crown made specifically for you in a single office visit, from start to finish. The process begins with preparing your natural tooth as the doctor normally would for a crown. Then a scanner scans your prepared tooth and the surrounding area, and that information is sent to a computer. When the computer assesses the information, it displays a picture of the crown that is needed. What the computer then does is communicates with the milling machine in our office, the machine that makes your crown. Your custom made CEREC crown is then sculpted from a single block of porcelain. For the machine to make your crown takes between 10-20 minutes, and uses porcelain that exactly matches the color of your natural tooth. Once your crown is finished, it is cemented onto your prepared, natural prepped tooth. Voila! You’re left with nothing but a beautiful new smile you can feel confident about, and all in one convenient appointment. While this technology can be used for most teeth, there are still certain situations where a traditional 2 visit crown may be necessary.  Just give the office a call to set up a free consultation to evaluate your specific needs

One of the great benefits of CEREC one-day crowns is the fact the crown is metal and mercury free and your cosmetic restoration is as natural looking as your adjacent teeth. CEREC crowns offer stronger protection than other crowns, making it ideal for teeth toward the back of the mouth. Also, there are no impressions that need to be made for CEREC crowns, eliminating any discomfort associated with crown fittings. With over 25 years of research and happy customers, there is no doubt Dr. Giamberardino and CEREC same-day crowns will be able to give you the smile you’ve always wanted!

Using Your Dental Benefits Before 2014!

December 3, 2013

Though it may not seem important, taking advantage of your dental insurance before the year ends can save you money in the long run. Because most insurance companies run off of the calendar year, whatever benefits you haven’t used before midnight December 30 is long gone.

Not comparable to your cell phone minutes, your dental insurance benefits don’t roll over to the new year if you have not used them. You work hard for your benefits, and not taking advantage of them before the year is up can possible leave you wasting hundreds of dollars. If you use your benefits before the New Year, you’ll be able to take advantage of your deductible before it resets. It’ll also give you the ability to use up your annual maximums. Another important reason is to take care of any dental woes before they get any worse! Even though it may seem like a small stain or discomfort now, along the line, it can possibly mean a more extensive procedure.

If you are unsure about what your dental benefits may be or when they expire, ask your employer, or use the company handbook as a reference. Either way, being able to use your dental benefits before the year ends is beneficial for your money, and, more importantly, your teeth.

Giamberardino Dental Care provides quality general and cosmetic dentistry from our Medford, MA dental office. We serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities. Call us today to schedule your next appointment.
