Services from Mark Melevsky, DMD

Preventative care on a regular schedule is the key to preventing big dental problems. We try to help every patient stay on a schedule of preventative care, including regular cleanings and dental exams, so we can detect and treat small problems before they can become suddenly painful ones. As a provider of family dental services in Marshfield, MA, Dr. Melevsky is interested in preventing dental problems before they start.

Bonding is a versatile way of correcting problems like chipped, broken or gapped teeth in just one visit. Dental bonding material can be colored to match your natural teeth and then be used to fill in gaps resulting from spacing or breakage, or to correct teeth that are too short or an uneven shape. 

Both crowns and bridges play important roles in protecting the integrity of your smile. A crown covers a tooth that has suffered some damage, such as an infected tooth which required root canal therapy. That tooth can remain strong for many years when protected by a crown. A bridge is made up of crowns which go on the two teeth adjacent to the missing one. Then an artificial tooth positioned between the two crowns replaces the missing tooth and restores a patient’s smile. 

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain cemented to the fronts and tips of teeth. Veneers are manufactured to match the shape and color of a patient’s natural teeth and can repair chipped, broken, gapped or deeply discolored teeth. Veneers may also be placed over several of a patient’s visible teeth to brighten a smile as part of a dazzling smile makeover.  

If age or dark-colored drinks have dimmed the youthful brightness of a smile, we can reverse that damage with in-office or at-home teeth whitening. In our office, our whitening treatment can lighten a smile eight shades in a single hour. For those who travel frequently or want a more gradual whitening process, we offer customized, at-home whitening trays. Both are professional-grade systems that get excellent results. 

For our patients who have lost one or more teeth, we often recommend dental implants, the closest match to your own natural teeth. First, a slender titanium post will be placed in your jaw bone. When your own bone has bonded with this post, a durable white tooth (a crown) will be anchored to it. The resulting tooth will look and feel just like your natural teeth. Dr. Melevsky has pursued additional training to maintain an excellent standard of care while offering this dental service for Marshfield, MA patients.

We are also able to provide patients with dentures attached to and secured by four or more dental implants. By placing the implants first and letting them bond to the bone in the jaw, dentures can be snugly anchored to the tops of the implants, preventing them from moving. If you are seeking a dentist in Marshfield, MA to provide implant-supported dentures with care and a gentle touch, you have found him. 

When children are introduced to dentistry at out office, we ensure they receive a positive impression. We take pride in our ability to explain what a dentist does and why these visits help keep our young patients healthy.

At one time, it was almost routine for teens to suffer with metal wires and painful brackets to straighten their teeth. We are very pleased to offer Invisalign clear acrylic aligners to correct tooth alignment without the hardware.

Dr. Melevsky has completed training on providing oral surgery for his patients which means they do not need to travel to a different office for wisdom tooth extractions or gum surgery. If you have been told you need oral surgery by a dentist in Marshfield, MA, we are pleased to provide this service for you. 

Sometimes the problem is not with a tooth but with the gums. Protecting your gum health is vital to protect all your teeth. Dr. Melevsky is experienced at correcting problems in the gums that could threaten the survival of your teeth. 

When a tooth has suffered severe damage, we may still be able to save it with root canal therapy. This procedure starts with cleaning out any damaged or infected soft tissue inside your tooth. We then fill the space with sterile material and close up the tooth. We recommend a crown for this tooth to keep it strong for many years to come.

Every person should have access to dental care to protect the health of their teeth, gums and mouth. But for some people, dental visits are frightening and therefore avoided.
