VIP Amenities

When it comes to convenience, our team at Northland Dental Medicine surpasses even the highest expectations. We have even extended our hours on Mondays and Wednesdays because we know how hard it can be to fit your regular dental cleanings into a hectic schedule.  We also strive to make your dental visits as comfortable as possible. We do so by offering heated massage chairs in every room. We want you to feel like a VIP when you come into our office!

 

Our massage chairs provide a gentle massage to the patient’s back, as well as providing soothing massage on other parts of the body, including the calf, foot and neck.

 

While our motivation was to keep our patients feeling physically comfortable throughout their procedure, there are also many mental health benefits as well. Patients that suffer from dental phobia have benefited greatly from our massage chairs. Because they are so relaxed, patients often forget about the procedure being performed and these chairs even improve blood circulation and can improve immune system function.

 

Heated massage chairs are an amenity we offer that not only helps the patient during their dental visit, but provides overall improved health and circulation. Be sure to ask us about our heated massage chairs when you come in for a visit.

CEREC cosmetic crowns in an hour

The dental industry has seen many technological advances over the years, none more important, though, than the Chairside Economical Restoration or Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) machine. This state-of-the-art technology allows dentist’s to create in-office crowns, inlays/onlays and dental veneers. Dr. Michael Corsello has brought this technology to our Pittsburgh, PA practice in order to restore patient’s smiles more quickly and effectively. With CEREC, Dr. Corsello carries out all the steps, from digital impressions and computer-based construction of the restoration to the milling process, inside our office.

 

Before taking a digital picture of the affected area, Dr. Corsello will thoroughly clean the area, removing any plaque or decay. Once that is complete, the process is quite simple. The area of the restoration will be sprayed with a fine powder which allows the digital camera to take an accurate image. Once taken, the 3D image will appear on chairside screen where Dr. Corsello is able to design the restoration right in front of you. Once the proper adjustments have been made, the system will begin to construct the restoration piece. Patients do not have to wait for their restorative piece to be sent to a dental lab to be produced because it is made while they are waiting. The manufacturing process takes around 15 minutes.

 

Upon completion, Dr. Corsello will touch up the restoration by painting, polishing or glazing it before cementing it into the mouth. Most dental facilities have to send molds out to laboratories and will receive the restoration 1-2 weeks later. Dr. Corsello is now able to treat decayed, cracked or chipped teeth in the same day.  

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
