Norwich, CT Family Dental Services

Laser Dentistry

We now have a laser that can be used for all areas of dental treatment:

• Fillings (often without the need to be numb)
• Root canals
• Gum disease
• Cold sore treatment
• Snoring/Sleep apnea treatment (Nightlase^TM)
• Wrinkle reduction in the face and neck (Smoothlase^TM)
• Lip plumping (Liplase^TM)
• Extractions with less post-op complications

In 2015 we acquired a camera called CariVu! This is a camera that can detect decay, cracks and other defects in your teeth, often before x-rays can detect them, and without using any radiation! Our hygienists will look at your teeth at each visit to check for abnormalities. This camera is not a substitute for x-rays, but an amazing adjunct to help us keep your teeth healthy for your lifetime!

From routine cleanings and fillings to bruxism devices, the Norwich family dentist at Greene Dental Group is equipped to handle all your dental needs. To help you understand your options, we've included descriptions of some of our leading services on this page.

Initial Oral Examination

Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

At Greene Dental Group, we offer a full range of services, from hygiene care to full mouth reconstruction.  At your initial visit with us, we will evaluate your oral health and educate you about any treatment that you may need.  Your diagnosis and treatment recommendations can be explained as thoroughly as you like via experienced team members and modern computer animations.

Implants

Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Veneers

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Read More...

Crowns

Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read More...

Bridges

Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are used to literally create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable. Read More...

Teeth Whitening

Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth.The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco. Read More...

Root Canal Therapy

Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root. Read More...

Toothaches

Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...

Dental Emergencies

Our goal is to help you to minimize the risk of emergency treatment. This is why we commit a generous amount of time designing a Lifetime Treatment Plan that will help you to offset the possibility of unforeseen pain or tooth breakage. Read More...
