Dentist for Newton Square: Care That Helps Your Teeth Last
For patients in Newton Square, maintaining healthy natural teeth often means keeping up with preventive care and addressing dental problems when they arise. An older filling may need to be monitored, a damaged tooth may require restoration, or changes in gum health may need attention.
At Tatnuck Family Dental Care, located nearby at 617 Mill Street in Worcester, we provide preventive and restorative services based on each patient’s oral health needs.
Repair, Restore, and Replace
Dental restorations can wear, chip, loosen, or develop other problems over time. During routine examinations, Dr. Chung Ah Lee and Dr. Jin Lee can evaluate existing dental work and determine whether a restoration should be monitored, repaired, or replaced.
Our restorative dental treatments include:
- Dental fillings to restore teeth affected by certain areas of decay or damage
- Inlays and onlays for teeth that may require an indirect restoration
- Dental crowns to restore and protect certain damaged or weakened teeth
- Dental bridges, dental implants, and dentures for replacing missing teeth
The suitable treatment is determined by aspects like the condition of the tooth, the extent of healthy tooth structure left, and your general oral health.
Maintaining Your Gum Health
Bleeding gums, tenderness, gum recession, or deeper periodontal pockets can be signs that your gums need further evaluation. Periodontal disease can affect the tissues and bone that support your teeth, and treatment depends on the type and extent of the condition.
If periodontal maintenance is recommended, our Perio Maintenance Plan for $575/year includes:
- 4 periodontal cleanings per year, scheduled every three months
- 2 exams per year
- X-rays as determined necessary
- 1 emergency exam with X-ray per year
- Oral cancer screenings
- Up to 15% off needed treatment

See and Understand Your Oral Health
Intraoral cameras can make it easier for you to see and understand what we identify during an examination. These small cameras capture close-up images from inside the mouth that can be displayed on a monitor.
By reviewing these images with you, we can point out areas of concern and explain why monitoring or treatment may be recommended. Other diagnostic tools, including dental X-rays when clinically appropriate, may also provide information that cannot be seen during a visual examination alone.

Newton Square Dental FAQs
Changes such as new sensitivity, a rough or damaged restoration, or food repeatedly catching around a restored tooth may warrant an evaluation. Some problems may not cause noticeable symptoms, so routine dental examinations can help us monitor existing fillings and crowns. X-rays may be recommended when clinically appropriate.
An onlay covers part of the chewing surface and one or more cusps while leaving more of the remaining tooth uncovered. A crown covers most or all of the visible portion of the tooth. Which restoration is appropriate depends on the extent of damage, remaining tooth structure, location of the tooth, and other clinical factors.
