Dr. Carl Ferreira helps patients in Fall River achieve their ideal smiles with veneers

Fall River, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/07/2016 -- Dr. Carl Ferreira, cosmetic dentist in Fall River, MA is helping local patients achieve the smile they've always dreamed of quickly and painlessly with dental veneers. This procedure only takes 2-3 office visits and can give patients an immediately transformed smile that will last for years to come.

Dental veneers are one of the most effective ways for patients to redesign and reshape their entire mouth without having to resort to other methods like orthodontia. Veneers are very thin ceramic shell coverings that are bonded to the surface of the tooth structure. They particularly helpful for patients who have otherwise healthy teeth but are still not satisfied with the appearance of their smile due to issues like teeth that are too large, too small, or asymmetrical, teeth that are gapped, crowded, or misaligned, and also teeth that are cracked, chipped, or permanently stained.

Dr. Ferreira works closely with each patient to discuss the concerns they have with their smile and what their vision is for their ideal smile. During their first visit, Dr. Ferreira takes impressions of the patients' smile that are sent to an external laboratory where the veneers are fabricated using these impressions. During this first appointment the patient's teeth are carefully prepared for receiving the veneers and are given temporary coverings for the 10-14 day fabrication period. The patient receives their new veneers during the second appointment. They are bonded to the surface of the teeth and Dr. Ferriera ensures that they feel natural for the patient and that they look the way the patient had envisioned.

Veneers are just one of the many cosmetic dental services Dr. Ferreira offers patients who want to improve both the health and appearance of their smiles. He also offers procedures such as bonding and tooth-colored fillings, crown lengthening, crowns, dental implants, and more.

Dr. Carl Ferreira treats patients with a specialized root canal procedure to protect natural teeth and prevent unnecessary extraction

Fall River, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/22/2016 -- Dr. Carl Ferreira DMD, P.C. of Fall River, MA is pleased to offer patients the best endodontic treatment with a pain-free root canal procedure that allows patients to keep their natural tooth while preventing further decay. Because patients are able to keep their natural teeth, Dr. Ferreira is able to help them avoid extractions, bridges, or even dental implants.

There are 14 million root canals performed each year, making them one of the most common dental issues in America. Since it is so common, there is a good chance that nearly everyone will need to see a dentist for endodontic-related issues at some point during their life. Not every dentist is equipped to properly perform a root canal, making it important for patients to find a trained and experienced endodontist like Dr. Ferreira.

Root canals are necessary when a bacterial infection attacks the blood vessels of the inner part of the tooth, also known as the pulp. The infection causes significant pain, and if left untreated it will cause decay to the surrounding bone and tissue. Proper treatment involves cleaning out the infected part of the tooth and sealing it to prevent further infection and pain. Unlike dental implants or bridges, which involve extraction, Dr. Ferreira's root canal treatment preserves the natural tooth and is the preferred option for optimal dental health.

While the term "root canal" is often associated with pain and dread, modern dental advancements allow Dr. Ferreira to treat patients easily and pain-free. Unlike some dentists who refer root canal cases to specialists, Dr. Ferreira has spent considerable time practicing and perfecting his endodontic treatments to ensure that his patients receive the best care available. By numbing the area around the tooth and then drilling into the infected part of the tooth, Dr. Ferreira is able to clean out the infection and eliminate the pain and discomfort that plagued the patient prior to treatment.

In addition to endodontic care, Dr. Ferreira and his staff offer patients full dental services ranging from general cleanings and dental implants to crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, teeth whitening and much more.

Fall River, MA dentist helping patients get rid of their “gummy smiles” with the crown lengthening procedure

Fall River, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/17/2016 -- Dr. Carl Ferreira is offering crown lengthening to patients needing restorative or aesthetic dentistry within the Massachusetts area. As a common surgical procedure, crown lengthening is implemented when not enough of the tooth sticks out above the gum line giving the patient a "gummy smile" or when the patient is in need of a crown or a filling due to underlying decay. Crown lengthening exposes more of the natural tooth by reshaping or re-contouring bone and gum tissue and can be performed on one single tooth, many teeth or the entire gum line.

A "gummy smile" is very common and happens when the patient has excessive gum tissue around their upper teeth causing the teeth to look unnaturally short. This can also make the patient more susceptible to periodontal infections. With a "gummy smile" the teeth may actually be the proper length but excess gum tissue is covering up majority of the tooth. In all cases Dr. Ferreira removes gum tissue, bone, or both to expose more of the tooth.

If decay happens to occur below the gum line, Dr. Ferreira may recommend crown lengthening to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue in order to cut out the infected area. After Dr. Ferreira has made the necessary incisions he will then insert a temporary crown to protect the tooth and also making it easier to see just how much soft tissue or bone needs to be removed in preparation of the final crown. Once the temporary crown and incisions have healed the patient will return and Dr. Ferreira will prepare the tooth once more for installation of the final crown.

Crown lengthening is normally performed under a local anesthetic. If the patient has existing dental crowns they will be removed prior to surgery and immediately replaced after the procedure is complete. Dr. Ferreira will make a series of small incisions around the soft tissue in order to separate the gums from the teeth also giving Dr. Ferreira access to the roots of the teeth and underlying bone. Typically neighboring teeth are also treated to provide a more even and natural reshaping.

The amount of time this procedure takes depends on the amount of teeth that need to be worked on. In most cases, prior to the procedure, the patient will receive a tooth cleaning to avoid infection. Once Dr. Ferreira has exposed enough of the tooth, the surgical area will be washed with sterile salt water, gums will be stitched back together and will heal in about 3 months. Once the procedure is complete Dr. Ferreira may issue pain prescriptions and/or an antimicrobial mouth rinse to help any bacteria that my re-colonize.

Dr. Carl Ferreira and his team of dental professionals are extremely compassionate when it comes to their patients and offer a wide variety of dental services in addition to crown lengthening such as dental implants, crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, teeth whitening and much more.

Dr. Ferreira regularly visits the Central American country to provide much-needed dental care to residents who don't have access or means to undergo necessary dental procedures.

As part of the dental team, Dr. Ferreira helps educate Hondurans about the importance of a good tooth brushing routine in addition to his work with exams and extractions. Tooth decay is rampant in Honduran communities, likely attributed to their excessive consumption of soda.
