With the most advanced technology in the industry and a gentle, caring approach, the office of Dr. James P. Kostas offers cosmetic dentistry to patients in Burlington, MA and beyond.

How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Help You?

Do you ever look at your teeth in photos or in the mirror and wish that they were whiter? If so, you certainly aren’t alone. Millions of Americans are dissatisfied with the shade of their teeth and the way it affects their self-confidence. Whether it’s red wine, tea, tobacco, or your morning cup of coffee, surface stains add up over time and cause your smile to look less than luminous. Whitening toothpastes and over-the-counter products claim to brighten enamel, but achieving truly noticeable results requires a professional grade whitening formula. At Complete Dental Care, we personalize our teeth whitening treatments to create dazzling smiles both in our office and with custom at-home whitening kits. You’ll love how quickly and easily we can lift years of deep stains from your teeth, allowing you to show off a superstar smile not only in 2015, but for years to come!

Are you looking for a way to completely transform the appearance of your smile without extensive dental work? Porcelain veneers may be the perfect solution for you. These wafer-thin shells of dental porcelain are meticulously crafted to look and feel completely natural, correcting a wide variety of common aesthetic flaws. Chips, gaps, cracks, misalignment, and deep stains become a thing of the past in as few as two visits to our office. We also offer CEREC same day crowns, dental implants, full mouth reconstruction, and invisible braces with Six Month Smiles. Whatever your smile needs to look its absolute best, you’ll find it here at Complete Dental Care, your local Burlington, MA dentist.

Dental Health and Overall Health

oral health and overall healthSince Valentine’s Day occurs in February, this is a great time to talk about the connection between your smile, your heart, and your overall health. Some patients are surprised to hear that there even is a connection. There is, but it’s not obvious.

Research indicates that gum disease is what is connects your smile with other health problems. Gum disease is the result of bacteria and plaque collecting around your teeth and gums. The symptoms of gum disease include sensitive or bleeding gums, bad breath, and more. If left untreated, gum disease can cause pockets to form between your teeth and gums. These pockets give bacteria and plaque a way into your bloodstream and from there to the rest of the body, including the heart. Once there, the bacteria and plaque of gum disease can contribute to clotting and even heart attack.

Other health problems that gum disease can influence include:

  • Alzheimer’s
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Pneumonia
  • Pre-term birth

Given all this, what can you do to protect your smile and your health in general? First, I recommend flossing once a day and brushing at least twice, but if you can do it after every meal that’s even better. A good antibacterial mouthwash will also help by eliminating bacteria.

Second, I would encourage you to see me at least twice a year for a checkup and cleaning. These appointments are important because they let me watch for signs of gum disease. If I find anything, I can start treating it immediately. The earlier your gum disease can be treated the better, for both your oral health and your overall wellbeing.

Do you have questions about this post, or do you need to schedule an appointment with me? Call Complete Dental Care in Burlington, MA today. I offer great care to patients from Burlington, Bedford, Billerica, Woburn, and beyond.
