Northampton, MA – “With an uncertain economy, many Americans are paring down their expenses,” notes Northampton dentist Dr. Lisa Emirizian. “But, regular dental visits are something you shouldn’t cut back on. Avoiding routine dental visits may save you money now, but it will not pay off in the long run. If a dentist recognizes a problem at an early stage, it is easier and less expensive to treat than if it’s found later.” Prevention is an important key to lifelong oral health.

“If they’re uncovered early enough, many serious conditions can be avoided,” explains on of the best  Northampton MA dentists, Dr. Vincent Mariano. “Oral cancer, decay, abscesses, gum infections, tooth wear, and enamel erosion are all more successfully treated in the early stages.” If neglected, these problems become more serious, and more costly to fix.

For instance, a small cavity that is untreated can spread to the tooth’s nerve, where it will cause an infection or abscess. Only then does the patient feel pain and recognize that there’s a problem. But now, instead of a simple filling, the dentist needs to treat it with more extensive and expensive procedures. “Don’t wait until something causes pain,” warns Dr. Emirizian, a Northampton cosmetic dentist. “If you’re experiencing discomfort, the issue is probably more serious and difficult to treat.”

The Northampton dental implants provider also note that a healthy mouth is vital to a healthy body. Infections that start in the mouth can spread all over your body. Experts have discovered links between gum disease and other health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, premature births, and many more.

Furthermore, a dentist is often the first health professional to recognize changes in the patient’s physical condition. Diabetics, for instance, are far more likely to have diseased gums since their infection-fighting capacity is reduced. “We see this quite often,” notes Dr. Mariano. “For example, a patient comes in for a check-up and has had a serious gum infection in the last six months. Sometimes he or she has experienced unexplained weight loss. So, we advise patients to visit their physicians. More often than not, they have undiagnosed diabetes.”

Dentists can also discover: acid reflux and gastroenterological diseases (patients’ teeth are more likely to decay), some auto-immune disorders (which affect the mouth’s soft tissue and salivary glands), liver diseases (which jaundice the soft tissues) and many more.

“Regular visits can help detect and avoid many health problems,” explains Dr. Emirizian, a Northampton dentistry practitioner. “But we can’t help if the patients don’t come in for routine visits.”

SPRINGFIELD, MA — Have you ever been shocked by a tooth chip that you’ve never noticed before? Are you waking up with a headache or jaw pain? If so, you could be suffering from bruxism, also known as teeth grinding, while you are sleeping.

Bruxism is a common dental disorder mainly caused by stress. The damages caused by teeth grinding can lead to TMJ problems, eroded teeth, and cracked and chipped teeth as well. However, with a simple appliance, all of these problems are instantly solved and replaced with peaceful sleep and protected teeth.

“Dental mouth guards are great devices,” says Springfield, MA cosmetic dentistDr. Lisa Emirzian of EMA Dental. “We don’t exactly get second chances when it comes to adult teeth. So, preserving our natural teeth should be a top priority. But, so many people neglect the sign of bruxism since the grinding occurs overnight.”

Dental mouth guards are soft and hard oral appliances that provide a barrier between the upper and lower teeth arches. Rather than grinding, thanks to dental mouth guards people are not just sparing their teeth from harmful grinding, but the mouthpieces also promote proper jaw position and optimize breathing passages.

It is imperative for people to take care of their teeth around the clock adds Dr. Vincent Mariano, EMA Dental’s Springfield, MA dental implants expert. Whereas people are trained to brush and floss, using nighttime mouth guard is often embarrassing for people.

“People go to sleep to get rest and to relax,” says the Springfield, MA prosthodontic specialist “Often, mouth guards are thought of as clunky and uncomfortable. But, dental night guards are thin appliances custom-made for each patient. So, it isn’t only comfortable, it helps relaxation by improving jaw position.”

In addition to dental night guards, EMA Dental provides a wide range of cosmetic, restorative and general dental services for all family members. Together,Springfield, MA dentists Drs. Vincent Mariano and Lisa Emirzian provide, cleanings, whitening, veneers, bonding, dental implants, and much more. EMA Dental is also a Springfield, MA Invisalign provider.

PIONEER VALLEY, MA — From March 7 through March 13, 2010, Dr. Vincent Mariano and Dr. Thomas Vergo of Pioneer Valley dentistry practice EMA Dental will be participating in the first annual National Prosthodontics Awareness Week. The event, hosted by the American College of Prosthodontists aims to inform the public about the importance of replacing missing teeth to maintain a healthy mouth and body.

EMA Dental will be participating in Prosthodontics Awareness Week by hosting an open house for the community to learn more about prosthodontics and the benefits of treatment.

“To be a part of the first awareness event for prosthodontics is very exciting for me as a professional,” said Dr. Mariano, a Pioneer Valley dental implantsspecialist. “The prosthodontics field is my passion, and I invite anyone who can benefit from this life-altering treatment to come visit me during this event to learn about treatment that can change lives.”

Prosthodontics includes treatments such as single and multiple tooth dental implants, bridges, and partial and full dentures. In order to be recognized as a prosthodontic specialist by the American Dental Association, dental practitioners need at least two to three years of extra dental school in the field of prevention and treatment of tooth loss.

Tooth loss can occur from tooth decay, gum disease, injuries, cancer, or even wear and tear comments Pioneer Valley dentist Dr. Vergo. Untreated tooth loss typically results in the deformation of the facial muscles and bone shrinkage in the jaw.“Not only do people need to recognize that tooth loss is a sign of serious health complications, but tooth loss will also deteriorate confidence,” said Pioneer Valley prosthodonticst Dr. Mariano. “However, we have excellent care available for virtually all treatment scenarios. That’s what this event is all about. Making people aware of the risks and that help is available.”

Dr. Mariano is the only Board Certified Prosthodontist in the Pioneer Valley region. In addition to prosthodontics, EMA Dental is a family dentistry center providinggeneral dentistry services such as cleanings, fillings, and other services as well ascosmetic dentistry services. From their East Longmeadow and Northampton locations, Pioneer Valley cosmetic dentist Dr. Lisa Emirzian provides smile restorations, teeth whitening, and crown and veneer restorations. EMA Dental is also a Pioneer Valley Invisalign provider.

NORTHAMPTON, MA — Some people are too embarrassed to undergo orthodontic treatment out of fear and anxiety. Children and teens fear teasing, while adults grow anxious about public perception and gawking stares from colleagues and peers.  But, with the advent of invisible Invisalign orthodontics people don’t have to fear orthodontics anymore says Northampton dentist Dr. Lisa Emirzian of EMA Dental.

In just the last ten years, orthodontics has changed drastically. No longer are patients forced to expose their braces to the public while smiling or talking. Rather, this technology conceals treatment so that patients can live their lives worry-free of public scrutiny. If a patient is looking to improve his or her appearance by correcting tooth misalignments, the last thing he or she wants to do is wear braces that attract attention to their less-than-perfect smiles says Dr. Emirzian.

“Recognizing the need for subtler technology, the dental community has responded with invisible braces which conceal brackets, and Invisalign treatment which renders treatment virtually unnoticeable,” adds Dr. Emirzian.
Though traditional braces, Invisalign, and other orthodontic methods allcorrect teeth misalignments, they differ in appearance and implementation, providing various options for each patient’s needs.
“One of my favorite experiences is when a patient completes his or her treatment,” says Dr. Emirzian. “The patient is absolutely beaming with pride and joy that they have this new, beautiful look. It’s rewarding to be a part of their self-improvement, and I’m always happy to help.”

Invisalign

For patients who have no patience for metal brackets, Invisalign treatment avoids metal brackets and wires altogether. Invisalign.com notes that Invisalign treatment utilizes clear, plastic tray ‘aligners’ that fasten directly over a patient’s teeth.
The aligners are special made for each patient by Invisalign, and gradually shift teeth into an aesthetically correct position over the course of treatment. Every two weeks, patients visit their dentist for a quick checkup and for their new aligner trays.
“Because Invisalign trays are removable, patients are responsible for keeping the aligners in place at least 22 hours per day,” says Northampton Invisalign dentist Dr. Emirzian. “The only occasion deemed acceptable to remove the aligners is for meals. But, since they are virtually invisible, leaving them in isn’t much of a burden to patients.”
Getting started with Invisalign begins with a consultation with a certified dentist or orthodontist. After the evaluation, a dental impression of the patient’s teeth is taken. These impressions are sent to Invisalign, where the complete set of tray aligners is manufactured for the course of treatment. On the next appointment, the patient receives his or her first trays, and treatment begins.
Average costs for Invisalign are around $5000, with treatment typically taking 12 to 15 months. After treatment is completed, patients are required to wear a retainer to preserve the patient’s new smile.
Invisalign ranks dentists and orthodontists in Invisalign expertise based upon case experience. Dr. Lisa Emirzian is listed on Invisalign’s Web site as a Preferred Provider. This status means that Dr. Emirzian has achieved “Preferred Provider” status, meaning that she has all of the current training and experience to provide Invisalign consultations and treatment. For more information on providers, visitwww.invisalign.com.

Conditions

Because Invisalign fastens over a patient’s teeth, patients with severely misaligned teeth or missing teeth are not candidates for Invisalign treatment. However, these patients can be treated with traditional braces to correct their misalignments.
In most cases, child patients should be treated with traditional braces, as baby teeth make Invisalign treatment more difficult. Also, for young patients, Invisalign’s clear, removable aligners pose a danger as they can be easily lost. Also, the aligners are made of plastic, which can be easily cracked or chipped.

“People curious about Invisalign treatment should start with questions with their dentist,” says Dr. Emirzian, a Northampton general dentist focusing on esthetic and smile enhancement. “There are several qualifying factors for treatments that need to be identified before treatment begins. But there are more treatments out there than ever, and most patients enter treatment with great optimism and anticipation for a renewed, gorgeous smile.”
