Emergency Line That is Always Answered by a Doctor Not an Answering Service

Here at our Pittsburgh dental practice, we provide quality dental services to our patients. But in some cases, patients are not able to wait until a scheduled appointment to get care.

 

That’s why we provide our patients with an emergency line they can call not just to get help, but to speak to a dental professional who can provide them with quick advice. It is not an answering service, but a call answered by a doctor.

 

This means if one of our Northland Dental Medicine patients is experiencing problems after an extraction, severe pain from an infection, or just needs assistance after hours, they can call the emergency line to speak to a dentist.

 

Northland Dental Medicine not only provides emergency dental services to patients that need last minute help, but the following general dental services:

1. Dentures

2. Digital x-rays

3. Crowns and bridges

4. Root canals

5. Periodontal care

6. Invisalign

7. Wisdom teeth extractions

8. Veneers

9. White fillings and bonding

10. Implants

11. Botox and dermal fillers

 

Visit Dr. Michael Corsello in Pittsburgh, PA or call our emergency line at 412-367-7400 to speak to someone about your emergency dental situation.

Thermography Machine

At Northland Dental Medicine, we use the latest in dental technology to provide our patients with quality dental care. One type of technology we use is athermography machine. This machine lets us take advantage of thermal imaging to help diagnose different dental conditions our patients are facing. The thermography machine works by showing us a white or red light when the patient has a worrisome condition, such as an infected tooth, TMJ disorder, or gum disease.

 

The thermography machine measures heat from different sources of the mouth. When heat comes through and causes a light to shine on the machine, we know it has found something. This lets us screen our patients to look for cavities, infections or decay that is not shown on traditional x-rays. Thermal imaging does not use any radiation, which is one of the many benefits to using this type of machine. It also provides a pain free way to diagnose different problems, especially with infections or cavities we can’t find otherwise.

 

To experience the thermography machine first hand, call Dr. Michael Corsello at 412-367-7400 to schedule a consultation.

Snore Guards

A variety of special mouth guards are provided here in our dental practice, including snore guards. Snore guards are a great way to prevent snoring while you sleep. This doesn’t just benefit you, but your spouse as well.

 

When our patients snore, their sleep is interrupted continually throughout the night. Snoring is also linked to other health problems, like diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and heart disease. By getting a snore guard, patients are able to stop snoring and help themselves and their spouse sleep more soundly as well.

 

One of the primary benefits to snore guards here at Northland Dental Medicine is that they are custom made. Rather than trying to wear an uncomfortable oral appliance meant to fit everyone, our snore guards are designed from impressions of your teeth. This means you are not attempting to sleep while wearing a snore guard that doesn’t fit you right. It is small, easy to wear, and works by preventing your tongue from slipping and blocking your air passage.

 

If you have been having difficulty sleeping due to frequent snoring, visit Dr. Michael Corsello in Pittsburgh, PA for a snore guard consultation.

 

Teeth Whitening

Not being thrilled with their smile because of staining or discoloration is something many of our patients struggle with. Fortunately, at Northland Dental Medicine, we offer two main options in teeth whitening tray whitening and KoR whitening. Teeth whitening can be done right in our dental office, benefiting patients who have not had success with store-bought whitening options. Each of them provides many great benefits, such as the following:

• Limited sensitivity.
• In-office whitening for fast results.
• Teeth that are 6-8 shades whiter.
• Long-lasting results with minimal upkeep.

The tray whitening system is the first type of teeth whitening we offer, whereby we utilize custom-made trays and a whitening gel. The best part about this is that patients keep the finished trays and can whiten their own teeth at home at a later date. They are made from impressions of the patient’s teeth, providing a quality whitening experience. KoR teeth whitening is an in-office whitening system that gets deep down into the enamel of the teeth for longer lasting results.
