Our general dentistry services include:

  • Dental exams/teeth cleaning. East Longmeadow, MA dentist Dr. James Dores provides thorough exams that include screenings for oral cancer and periodontal (gum) disease. During exams, Dr. Dores uses a high-tech intraoral camera to get a good look at your teeth and to show you what he’s seeing.
  • Gum disease treatment. Gum disease causes many problems, including the loss of teeth. Dores Dental offers treatments to eradicate gum disease.
  • Dry mouth treatment. Dry mouth is uncomfortable for you, and a lack of saliva can cause bad breath and tooth decay. Top-notch East Longmeadow, MA dentist Dr. Dores will work with you to identify and address your underlying issues for dry mouth. He also provides Biotene, a mouth rinse that contains the same enzymes and proteins found in saliva and can provide relief from dry mouth.
  • Halitosis treatment. Halitosis (bad breath) is not only embarrassing – it can also signal underlying health issues. Dr. Dores will work with you to solve the issues causing halitosis, which can include cavities, poorly fitting dentures, yeast infections, or periodontal (gum) disease.
  • Shade guide. We use a shade guide to help determine the exact color of your teeth. This helps us match your natural color with any future treatments, such as tooth fillings.
  • Preventive dental care. We use fluoride treatments and dental sealants to help protect your teeth from decay.
