Dental Implants
When one of our patients from the Merrimack Valley area is missing one or more teeth, Dr. Fred M. Bourgeois recommends dental implants as the most permanent and natural-looking solution. Though dental implants cost more than dentures or porcelain dental bridges, they simply can’t be beat in terms of low maintenance, comfort, and natural appearance. Implants are replacement tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically grafted to the jawbone and fitted with porcelain replacement teeth.

Dentures
When a patient is missing multiple teeth, dentures custom fitted by Dr. Fred M. Bourgeois at his Salem, New Hampshire practice are an affordable solution. Unlike the ill-fitting dentures of your grandparents’ generation, modern dentures are crafted for a more comfortable fit and a natural appearance. Dr. Bourgeois will work with you to create dentures that not only feel great, but also restore your smile to its beautiful best.
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, commonly referred to as “caps”, fit entirely over a damaged tooth to lend structural support as well as smile enhancement. Dr. Fred M. Bourgeois also commonly employs porcelain dental crowns after a patient receives a root canal. Unlike porcelain veneers, which only cover the front of a tooth, a dental crown is designed to fit over the whole tooth, so moderate preparation in the form of tooth size reduction is necessary to get the best fit. Since Dr. Bourgeois only uses the finest in all porcelain crowns at his Salem, New Hampshire dentistry practice, his restorative dentistry patients can be sure to enjoy the most natural-looking restorations that will keep their smiles healthy for years to come.
Dental Bridges
At his practice in Salem, New Hampshire, Dr. Fred M. Bourgeois can sue a dental bridge to literally “bridge” the gap left when a patient is missing one or more teeth. When a patient loses a tooth, the surrounding teeth will shift towards the gap that remains. It is important to fill this space to maintain a proper bite and prevent wear on remaining teeth A dental bridge crafted from top-quality porcelain for our Merrimack Valley patients is a replacement tooth that is attached to crowns on either side. While a dental bridge is not as permanent as dental implants, it is a more affordable solution and requires less daily maintenance than dentures.
Root Canals: Endodontics by Dr. Fred M. Bourgeois
Fred M. Bourgeois, D.M.D., has undergone extended training in the field of endodontics. Endodontics is the field of dentistry that focuses on the inner tissue of the tooth, also known as tooth pulp. The most common endodontic procedure is the root canal, which aims to save tooth structure by removing infected tooth pulp. While most patients associate root canal therapy with pain, this treatment is actually designed to eliminate the pain caused by infection. Most of Dr. Bourgeois’ root canal patients express great relief after undergoing a root canal treatment under his gentle hands.
