Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the surgical specialty of dentistry that provides patients with surgical care of the mouth, face, jaws and associated structures. After attending four years of dental college, oral and maxillofacial surgeons become qualified as specialists through residencies in hospitals throughout the United States and are required to complete at least four years of additional training beyond dental school. Many Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons also hold medical degrees (MD) in addition to dental degrees (DDS) or(DMD)and receive training in general surgery as well. After training is completed, Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons can become Board Certified.
Surgical services offered by Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons include removal of teeth (especially wisdom teeth), preparation of the mouth for dentures and implant placement. Oral Surgeons also perform reconstructive surgery of oral and facial deformities, and facial injuries/fractures. In addition, Oral Surgeonsare able to offer qualified patients the option of varying levels of anesthesia and sedation during surgery. These options vary from local anesthesia to intravenous sedation. It is important to speak with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon before a procedure to find out what is appropriate for you. Most surgeries can be performed in the office setting, but certain patients may be best served in the hospital either as same-day surgery patients or as in-patients.
Pre-operative Instructions for Sedation and Sedatives:
Intravenous Sedation (IV Sedation)
Patient must refrain from eating or drinking 6 hrs prior to the dental appointment. Some patients may be instructed to take certain medications with a sip of water prior to IV sedation. IV sedation may not be appropriate for all patients.
The patient must have an escort in the office with them at all times before and after intravenous sedation.
Nitrous Oxide / Oxygen Sedation (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide / oxygen is available and is a lighter form of sedation than IV sedation. Recovery from nitrous oxide sedation is rapid, and is safe for most but not all patients. It is recommended that you refrain from eating solid food for six hours and clear liquids for three hours prior to receiving nitrous oxide sedation.

For new denture wearers
Immediate dentures offer the best way to introduce a denture. The process is simple. The dentures are fabricated prior to extractions. The day the teeth are removed, the denture is immediately placed allowing you to:
1. Maintain Appearance and Function

3. Begin adjusting to your dentures immediately.
The advantage of having an on-site Denture Laboratory is that it allows us to offer faster service with increased quality control.

A crown is a cap made from various materials suitable for withstanding the biting and chewing forces that a normal tooth must endure. It is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance.

The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of the tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

A dental crown may be needed to rebuild broken or decayed teeth or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
To restore a damaged, broken or severely worn down tooth.
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't much of the tooth left.
To secure a dental bridge in place.

A DENTAL BRIDGE is an appliance made to permanently fit between two porcelain crowns. The bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Today, we refer to this as a FIXED BRIDGE. Think of a FIXED BRIDGE as a permanent bridge which cannot be removed the same way you remove (take out and put back on) partial dentures.

A root canal is needed when damage has occurred to the core of a tooth and the nerve has experienced irreparable exposure or trauma. When is a Root Canal needed?Signs of Endodontic Disease include: pain when biting down prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold discoloration of the tooth throbbing or severe pain pain attributable to changes in atmospheric pressure, such as flying in a plane pain attributable to eating sweet foods and swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums Nothing is as good as a natural tooth! And sometimes your natural tooth may need Endodontic (root canal) treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your mouth.But understand that sometimes there are no symptoms. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, contact our office right away as you may very well be in the stages of root canal disease or some other dental problem. Symptoms of Endodontic disease may be signs of such matters as defective fillings, periodontal disease, tooth decay and other tooth related problems.Most patients report that having Endodontic (root canal) treatment today is as unremarkable as having a cavity filled.Why May Endodontic Disease Cause Swelling?When the pulpal tissue becomes severely diseased and necrotic, the resultant infection can spread from inside the tooth into the adjacent bone and soft tissues. As a result, swelling can occur in the tissues immediately surrounding the tooth.If this situation is not treated and the endodontic disease process is not kept under control by the body's defenses, the infection can begin to spread into other tissue spaces, such as those around the eye or in the neck. In some situations, this can become a serious medical emergency. Contact New England Dental to meet with our Endodontist specialist Stanislov Moline, D.D.S.

Digital radiography uses sophisticated software to produce an accurate images of your teeth in seconds while dramatically reducing your exposure to radiation. The images are more precise and we can enlarge them to highlight areas of concern. Digital Radiography reduces exposure by up to 50% over traditional film X-rays.

In-office bleaching is the fastest and most effective way to whiten teeth. With this process, the whitening product is applied directly to the patients teeth. This process may include the use of heat, a special light, and/or a laser. These tools help to accelerate the whitening process. In order to achieve dramatic results, several appointments will usually be needed. However, with laser-enhanced bleaching, dramatic results can be seen after the first treatment.Whitening is not permanent, and people who expose their teeth to smoking, and foods or beverages that cause staining may see the whiteness start to fade in as little as 1 month. People who stay away from these things may be able to last up to a year or even longer before another whitening treatment or touch-up is needed.The degree of whiteness will vary from individual to individual. Depending upon the condition of the teeth, nature of the stain, and whether or not an individual is a smoker, can all be factors. CallNew EnglandDental at (203)790-0111 to find out if the whitening process is right for you.Keeping Teeth WhiteAvoid foods and/or beverages that can cause stains to your teeth. After consuming stain-causing beverages or foods, brush or rinse immediately. Practice good oral hygiene. Use a whitening toothpaste to remove surface stains once a week. This can also help to reduce and prevent yellowing. You may need periodic touch-up treatments. Avoid tobacco products and smoking.

What are dental Implants?
Dental implants replace the roots of the tooth. They provide a strong foundation for permanent / fixed or removable tooth replacement.
A permanent crown is placed over the implant and is designed to match your own natural teeth.
