Sedation Dentistry

If you are one of the thousands of people each year who put off necessary dental work because you fear the dentist’s chair, we have good news. We offer sedation dentistry at our practice near Boston, Massachusetts to patients who are nervous or anxious about having dental work done. Sedation dentistry allows our patients to be completely calm and relaxed during their appointment while still remaining conscious.

Sedation dentistry at our practice outside Boston, Massachusetts involves taking a small pill about one hour before your appointment. This pill induces a slightly depressed state of consciousness. While you remain awake and are able to respond to verbal commands, you are unaware of what is actually happening. Most patients retain very little memory of the procedure afterwards.

If you do opt for sedation dentistry at our Boston, Massachusetts practice, you can rest comfortably knowing you are in the hands of experienced professionals. Dr. Corbett has received special training in sedation dentistry and is qualified to administer this effective anxiety-management tool.

To find out if you qualify for sedation dentistry, contact Dr. Corbett today.

Orthodontics

Braces are useful for correcting overbite, underbite, unevenly spaced teeth, misaligned teeth, and more. Many children get braces between the ages of five and ten in order to correct problems such as wide gaps, overlaps, and crooked teeth. Getting braces at a young age allows Dr. Corbett to rectify issues that would be much more difficult or impossible to correct later in life.

However, children are not the only people enjoying the aesthetic benefits and improved self-esteem braces bring about. More and more adults are starting to wear braces and take control of their dental health. Boston dentist Dr. Corbett is experienced in adult orthodontics and can help you achieve the straight, beautiful smile you’ve always envisioned in the shortest time possible.

Invisalign®

We now proudly offer Invisalign®, the clear alternative to traditional metal braces. Many adults who desire straighter teeth are opting for Invisalign® because it allows you to straighten your teeth and perfect your smile without anyone knowing. Invisalign® consists of a series of progressive clear plastic trays that gradually alter the position of your teeth. The Invisalign® trays are removable so you can eat, brush, and floss as normal.

An attractive smile is an invaluable asset no matter what your age. Don’t let your teeth keep you from showing off yours. Contact Boston dentist Jeffrey Corbett today to find out if modern orthodontics are right for you.

Endodontics

Teeth have root canals from the time they first emerge. These canals are filled with a network of nerves and tissue known as pulp. Sometimes the pulp can become inflamed or infected. When teeth are growing, pulp helps to nourish them, but as teeth mature the pulp can safely be removed. This is done in root canal treatment (endodontics). The procedure can save teeth from eventually being lost or having to be removed. Once the infected pulp is removed, a crown is placed over the tooth. This type of restoration is often permanent.

Unlike other dentists in the Boston, Massachusetts area, general dentist Jeffrey Corbett does not have to send his patients to another dentist when they need a root canal. He has extensive training in oral surgery and can conveniently perform most root canals on-site at our Lynnfield office.

Fillings

When cavities occur, fillings can help limit damage, stop pain, and restore chewing strength. It is important to treat cavities as soon as possible in order to prevent further damage and tooth loss. For patients concerned about the effects of mercury or who want to restore their teeth more subtly, natural-looking tooth-colored fillings are available.

Cleanings

While twice-daily brushings and regular flossing are excellent for maintenance between office visits, regular check-ups and cleanings are absolutely mandatory for maintaining a healthy mouth. Practicing just outside Boston, Massachusetts, general dentist Jeffrey Corbett and our staff can help you keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free. To schedule a cleaning or consultation, please contact our office today.

Heart Healthy Dental Practice

Although professional cleanings and oral examinations are crucial to the maintenance of healthy teeth and gums, good preventative dental care begins at home. Boston dentist Jeffrey Corbett encourages all of his patients to brush (at least twice a day) and floss regularly to avoid cavities, gum damage, other oral problems, and other preventable heart problems. Our professional staff is also available to answer any questions you might have about preventative dental care and all of our nonsurgical gum treatment options, so we encourage you to contact our office today. Remember, everyone can have a healthy mouth and a dazzling smile.

Sports Dentistry

Sports are advantageous for many reasons—they are fun, they build teamwork skills, they offer excellent cardiovascular benefits, and they are great to watch. But anyone who participates in sports is at risk for a dental injury, whether that is cracking a tooth, losing a tooth, or even breaking the jaw. Serving the entire Boston, Massachusetts metropolis, general dentist Jeffrey Corbett is extensively trained to recognize and correct a full range of injuries to the mouth that occur during sports. To learn more, please contact Dr. Corbett today.
