HOW WE HELP OUR PATIENTS

 

hygiene

Our goal is to keep your mouth and teeth clean to prevent common dental problems such as dental caries, gingivitis and bad breath. Our hygienists also treat patients with periodontal disease using a variety of non-surgical procedures including scaling, and root planing to stabilize and maintain periodontal health.


COMPOSITE FILLINGS

Our metal-free fillings are made of composite resin mixtures that are accurately matched to the exact shade of your teeth for a seamless look. We recommend replacing old metal fillings with this material, as metal fillings over time show decay and become defective.


porcelain crowns and bridges

Porcelain crowns restore the strength and look of a weak and damaged tooth. A bridge is created to fill in a missing tooth or unwanted space between teeth. Our crowns, bridges and implants are fabricated locally by dental lab professionals.


A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth that matches the look and function of a natural tooth. Implants are prescribed as a long-term solution for patients to replace teeth that are infected by decay and are in need of removal. Implant-supported dentures are an excellent option for denture patients who would prefer a more stable, comfortable and long-lasting alternative.

Dentures and partial dentures are removable appliances that serve to restore the look of your full smile and aid in balancing your bite if you have missing teeth. We work closely with a local dental lab to create the perfect denture that’s beautiful, functional and comfortable to wear.

Prosthetics


If you experience pain while chewing or sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, getting a root canal may be your next step. A root canal is a simple procedure in which Dr. Green removes the infected pulp of a tooth affected by a large cavity, or deep crack. If a root canal is prescribed to treat your tooth, having the procedure will save your natural tooth which will allow you to eat your normal diet and maintain your natural smile.

Endodontic
Therapy


Do you suffer from headaches or jaw soreness? It’s quite common for headaches to be caused by a misaligned bite. Dr. Green can perform a full analysis of your bite, and may suggest using a therapeutic device like a night guard to erase your pain. Our night guards, which are fabricated in a local dental lab located in South Portland, ME, are for night-time use and help patients with a history of clenching or grinding while asleep.

brightening

Brightening your teeth is easy, if you wish to have a lighter smile. Dr. Green would see you, and using impressions of your teeth we will create whitening trays here in the office. The next day you will come back and we will give you the trays and brightening solution to take home. We will then discuss with you all you need to know about the teeth whitening process.
