Your Regular Dental Visit

Your regular dental visit at Boston Post Dental & Implants is about more than just cleaning your teeth. It’s an opportunity for us to partner with you in maintaining optimal oral health. We believe in taking time with each patient, answering questions, and creating a welcoming environment where you feel heard and valued.

When you arrive at our Sudbury dental office, we’ll review your medical history and discuss any changes in your health or medications. If you’re experiencing dental concerns like sensitivity, bleeding gums, or jaw pain, let us know.

During your visit, we use advanced technology including digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to get a complete picture of your oral health. These tools help us detect problems early when they’re easiest and least expensive to treat. Regular visits every six months allow us to monitor your oral health and catch issues before they become serious.

Dental Exams and Cleanings

Comprehensive dental exams and professional cleanings are the cornerstone of preventive dentistry. At Boston Post Dental & Implants, our skilled dental hygienists and Dr. Stanley Ye work together to provide thorough, gentle care that keeps your smile in top condition.

Your dental exam includes a careful evaluation of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We check for signs of decay, examine your gums for inflammation, and assess your bite and jaw function. Digital X-rays help us see beneath the surface, revealing cavities between teeth, bone loss, and other conditions not visible during a visual exam.

Our dental hygienists use specialized instruments to remove plaque and tartar deposits from your teeth and along the gumline. After scaling, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains and apply fluoride to strengthen your enamel. We also demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and recommend products suited to your specific needs.

Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection saves lives. That’s why every dental exam at our dental office includes a thorough oral cancer screening. Oral cancer is highly treatable when caught early, but it often goes unnoticed in its initial stages because it doesn’t always cause pain or obvious symptoms.

During your screening, we carefully examine your lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of your mouth, roof of your mouth, and throat for any signs of abnormality. We look for red or white patches, sores that don’t heal, lumps, or changes in tissue texture. We also check your neck and jaw for swollen lymph nodes.

If we notice anything concerning during your screening, we’ll refer you to a specialist for further evaluation. Most abnormalities turn out to be benign, but it’s always better to investigate.

Root Canal Therapy

Modern root canal therapy is a comfortable procedure that saves teeth and relieves pain. When the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma, a root canal prevents the infection from spreading and saves your tooth.

Signs you may need a root canal include severe toothache when biting down, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discoloration, gum swelling and tenderness, or a persistent bump on your gums.

Dr. Ye performs root canal therapy right here in our Sudbury dental office. After ensuring you’re comfortable with local anesthesia, we create a small opening to access the infected pulp chamber. We remove the damaged pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and fill the space with a biocompatible material. A crown is typically placed over the tooth to restore its strength.

Thanks to modern techniques, root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling, and many patients feel immediate relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! It’s important to visit your dentist at least twice a year for a thorough exam and cleaning, even if you’re not experiencing symptoms of serious dental conditions. Despite regular brushing and flossing, your teeth can still accumulate tartar that can harbor unwanted bacteria. These bacteria can lead to gum disease and tooth decay if not professionally removed.

Yes, cleanings can sometimes whiten your teeth. We may be able to lift some stains from your teeth by polishing them. The results aren’t as dramatic as a teeth whitening treatment, but you may notice a slight difference.

To keep your teeth from developing stains, we recommend taking good care of your teeth at home. On top of a good oral hygiene routine, you can rinse your mouth with water after you eat and avoid dark-colored foods and drinks that have a tendency to cause stains.

Most people benefit from dental exams and cleanings every six months. However, if you have gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits. Our team will work with you to determine the schedule that best maintains your oral health.

Absolutely. Digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, and the amount of radiation you receive during dental X-rays is minimal. We only take X-rays when clinically necessary, and we use lead aprons to protect you. The benefits of catching problems early far outweigh the minimal risks.

You’re not alone. Many people feel anxious about dental visits, and we’re experienced in helping nervous patients feel comfortable. We take time to explain procedures, work at your pace, and offer options like sedation dentistry for patients with severe anxiety. Let us know about your concerns, and we’ll make sure your experience is as stress-free as possible.

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth throughout the day. You can remove it with regular brushing and flossing. When plaque isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar (also called calculus), which can only be removed by a dental professional. Tartar buildup leads to gum disease and cavities, which is why professional cleanings are essential.
