Dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and stains that brushing alone can't handle. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, cleanings are typically done every six months to keep your mouth healthy and fresh. If you have gum disease or other risk factors like smoking or diabetes, more frequent cleanings may be needed.

Dental exams are key to preventing issues like cavities and gum disease. Typically recommended twice a year, they include a review of your dental history, x-rays, a professional cleaning, fluoride treatment, and a full exam by your dentist. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we also check bite alignment and screen for oral cancer.

Many children develop cavities early, which can impact their health, growth, and confidence. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we teach kids proper oral care to prevent issues like pain, poor school performance, and long-term health risks. Regular checkups support healthy development and self-esteem.

A custom night mouthguard helps protect your teeth from grinding and clenching, a condition known as bruxism. Worn while you sleep, it prevents enamel wear, tooth damage, and stress on dental work like crowns and veneers. It also reduces jaw pain, morning headaches, and can improve sleep quality by relaxing the jaw and reducing snoring. […]

Oral cancer screenings are quick, thorough exams that check for early signs of cancer in the mouth, head, and neck. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, your dentist will examine the lips, face, neck, eyes, and nose using tools like mirrors, gauze, and lights. They’ll check for lesions, swelling, asymmetry, and other abnormalities through visual inspection and […]

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, begins with plaque buildup and can progress to serious infection and tooth loss if untreated. Smoking increases your risk and slows healing, making treatment less effective. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we offer cleanings, medication, and advanced treatments like deep cleaning and bone grafting to manage and reverse damage.

A sports mouthguard protects your teeth from injury during physical activity, especially in contact sports. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we recommend custom-fit guards for comfort and to protect dental work or braces. Typically worn on the top teeth, they reduce the risk of damage and help avoid costly dental visits. Replace your mouthguard twice a […]

An apicoectomy is a relatively minor oral surgery that involves making an incision in the gums to expose the tip of the root. We may recommend this surgical procedure as a last resort to stifle a reoccurring infection. Once the root is exposed, we will thoroughly clean near or around the tip to eliminate the […]

Cracked teeth can result from grinding, trauma, or hard foods and may cause pain, sensitivity, or swelling. Cracks range from minor to severe, and treatment varies depending on the location and extent of the damage. Options may include monitoring, crowns, or extraction.

Dental trauma can result from falls, accidents, or direct impact to the mouth or jaw. It may involve injuries to the teeth, gums, jaw, or soft tissues. Trauma can range from minor chips to serious damage like fractures, displacement, or knocked-out teeth. Treatment depends on the severity and may include fillings, crowns, root canals, or […]

Endodontic retreatment is performed when a tooth that previously had a root canal fails to heal or becomes reinfected. This can happen due to missed canals, delayed restoration, or new decay. During retreatment, we remove the original filling, clean and examine the canals, then reseal the tooth. In some cases, minor surgery may be needed.

A root canal removes bacteria and infected pulp from inside a tooth, helping to relieve pain and prevent further infection. The procedure involves cleaning, filling, and sealing the tooth and is typically done under anesthesia, making it no more painful than a standard filling. Root canals are needed when there’s deep decay, severe sensitivity, or […]

CEREC same-day crowns restore damaged teeth in one visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or follow-ups. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, they offer immediate function, comfort, and reduced cavity risk. While not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, they’re a fast and reliable option.

A dental bridge fills the space left by missing teeth using false teeth that restore both appearance and function. Bridges help improve chewing and speech while supporting the surrounding teeth, cheeks, and lips. They also prevent issues like misalignment and gum stress, which can impact your overall oral health. Whether fixed or removable, it provides […]

A dental crown is a custom cap placed over a damaged or discolored tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It improves bite function, enhances your smile, and protects a weakened tooth, especially after a root canal. Crowns also cover damage from grinding and help boost confidence by hiding visible flaws. Made from durable […]

Dental fillings are a simple, effective way to stop cavities from spreading and restore tooth structure. They seal the affected area, protect nerves, and relieve pain. Composite fillings can match your natural tooth color, improve shape, and even help prevent future decay. Some materials, like glass ionomer, release fluoride for added protection. With proper care, […]

Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth, using a titanium post that bonds with the jawbone to support a natural-looking artificial tooth. Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place and restore full function for eating and speaking. The process takes several months and involves imaging, implant placement, healing time, and final crown placement.

Dental implant restoration is a reliable way to replace missing teeth and restore confidence, speech, and the ability to eat comfortably. Options include single implant restorations for individual teeth, implant-supported bridges for multiple missing teeth, and implant-supported dentures for larger restorations. These secure, long-lasting solutions feel and function like natural teeth and help prevent bone […]

Dentures are a practical option for replacing missing teeth, helping to restore your smile, support facial structure, and improve chewing. Today’s dentures are typically made of resin, which offers a natural look but needs careful handling and regular replacement due to wear. Full dentures replace all teeth, while partial dentures fill gaps and attach to […]

Full mouth restoration is a comprehensive treatment plan that repairs multiple damaged, decayed, or missing teeth to improve both function and appearance. It may include crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, root canals, or gum treatments. The process begins with a detailed exam, imaging, and bite analysis. Treatment is tailored to your specific needs, often addressing teeth, […]

Inlays and onlays are durable, custom-made restorations used to treat cavities and damage more precisely than traditional fillings. Inlays fit within the center of a tooth, while onlays extend to the biting surface, offering a less invasive alternative to crowns. Made from materials like metal, gold, or porcelain, they can be chosen based on strength, […]

A root canal removes bacteria and infected pulp from inside a tooth, helping to relieve pain and prevent further infection. The procedure involves cleaning, filling, and sealing the tooth and is typically done under anesthesia, making it no more painful than a standard filling. Root canals are needed when there’s deep decay, severe sensitivity, or […]

Tooth extractions are a common and safe procedure used to remove teeth that are damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding. Wisdom teeth are often extracted if they’re impacted or lead to misalignment. Extractions may also be necessary in cases of advanced gum disease or to prevent complications in patients with health risks like diabetes. Depending […]

CEREC same-day crowns restore damaged teeth in one visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or follow-ups. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, they offer immediate function, comfort, and reduced cavity risk. While not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, they’re a fast and reliable option.

Dental bonding is a quick, affordable way to repair chipped, stained, or misshapen teeth using a tooth-colored composite resin. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we apply the resin directly to the tooth, shape it, and polish it for a natural look. Unlike porcelain veneers, bonding requires little to no enamel removal and is often completed in […]

Dental veneers are thin coverings placed over the front of teeth to improve their shape, color, and appearance. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we offer both composite and porcelain options to correct chips, gaps, stains, and misshapen teeth. Porcelain veneers are custom-fit, durable, and stain-resistant, offering a natural look with minimal enamel removal. Candidates must have […]

Porcelain crowns are custom-made ceramic restorations used to strengthen and restore damaged, cracked, or decayed teeth. At Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we match the crown’s shade to your natural teeth for a seamless look. Porcelain is highly durable, biocompatible, and resistant to staining, often lasting over 15 years with good oral care. Unlike metal crowns, porcelain […]

Zoom Teeth Whitening is a fast, effective way to brighten your smile using a whitening gel activated by a specialized LED light. Offered at Cambridgeside Dental Associates, the treatment reaches deep into the enamel to remove stains from food, drinks, tobacco, and aging. Most people with healthy teeth are good candidates, though whitening doesn't work […]

Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore lost jawbone, often necessary after tooth loss or injury. It supports future dental treatments like implants, bridges, or dentures when natural bone is no longer sufficient. The graft material, either synthetic or natural, is placed into the affected area and promotes new bone growth over time. Types […]

Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth, using a titanium post that bonds with the jawbone to support a natural-looking artificial tooth. Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place and restore full function for eating and speaking. The process takes several months and involves imaging, implant placement, healing time, and final crown placement.

A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves the removal of the lingual or labial frenum. We may recommend a frenectomy to improve the mobility of your tongue and allow for proper speech (removal of lingual frenum). Removing the labial frenum may be necessary to close the gap between the two front teeth.

Some people are born with uneven gums or an excessive amount of gum tissue. This can create aesthetic issues with your smile. We may recommend gingival contouring to improve the balance between your teeth and gums, giving you a more beautiful smile!

Gum disease treatment is a safe and effective way to manage infections of the gums caused by plaque buildup and bacteria. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, treatment may involve professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene. If it progresses to periodontitis, deeper cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing may be needed to remove […]

Gum graft surgery may be the best way to address severe gum recession. Gum recession can be the result of periodontal disease, aging, trauma, over-brushing, and misaligned teeth. Gum recession can result in substantial sensitivity issues, pain, and poor smile aesthetics.

Periodontal regeneration focuses on repairing damage caused by advanced gum disease and restoring the health of the tissues that support your teeth. When gum disease leads to bone loss, receding gums, or loose teeth, restorative procedures such as gum grafts, bone regeneration, and pocket reduction surgery may be recommended. These treatments aim to rebuild lost […]
