FAQs

What dental services do you provide at North Andover Dental Partners?

Yes. We use modern digital X-ray technology, which produces high-quality images while exposing patients to far less radiation than traditional film X-rays. This technology enhances diagnostic accuracy and safety, allowing us to detect potential dental issues early while keeping your exposure minimal.

What should I expect during my first dental visit?

Your first visit is designed to help us get to know you and your oral health needs. It typically includes a complete dental examination, digital X-rays, and a professional cleaning if scheduled. Your dentist will review your results, discuss personalized treatment recommendations, and explain any questions you may have about your care plan.

What is biomimetic dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry is an advanced approach that focuses on preserving your natural tooth structure. Using strong bonding materials and techniques that replicate the tooth’s natural properties, this method minimizes the need for crowns or root canals and provides long-lasting, minimally invasive restorations that look and function like real teeth.

How can I prevent cavities and gum disease?

You can prevent common dental problems through consistent oral hygiene and professional care. Brush your teeth (2x) every day using fluoride toothpaste, floss (1x) daily, eat a balanced diet low in sugar, and schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings. Preventive care is the basis of a healthy smile.

How often should I visit the dentist?

For most patients, we recommend going to the dentist every six months for timely exams and cleanings. These visits permit your dental team to remove plaque buildup, monitor changes in your oral health, and identify concerns before they progress. Some patients may require more frequent visits based on their unique dental needs.
