I had a great first experience with Dorset St Dental! I made them aware of my anxiety surrounding dentists and I felt very comfortable and was very accommodated. My dental hygienist was friendly and caring and the Dentist explained everything very well in terms I could understand I feel happy with my choice of Dorset St!

I have a lot of anxiety with going to the dentist. I was scheduled for a deep cleaning of my teeth that would be done in two separate appointments. When I went in for the first I had a new dental technician, which made me nervous, but I am so thankful for the care I received!! Kate was very understanding, compassionate, gentle & amazing - with a great sense of humor to boot! She did exceptional work that was pain-free & took my concerns/fears in stride. Best dental appointments ever!!!

I really like this dental office. The front desk really goes above and beyond to ensure patients are comfortable and understand their bill. They also are great at scheduling for your preferred timeframe. As others have mentioned in reviews, they sometimes do not answer the phone but I understand they are busy and if you call back during a non-peek time it is easier for them to answer. They also respond via text which especially helpful for me as I have phone anxiety and usually cannot call them because I am at work. The dental assistant who always sees me is my favorite. They are always so accommodating and sweet to me. I cannot tell you how much this means to me as I have very bad dental anxiety, and due to childhood neglect, I wasn’t able to keep up with my teeth. The dental assistant has never made me feel bad for the condition of my teeth and does everything they can to make me feel comfortable, even offering me a fidget when I sit down or to adjust the temperature, those little details are so appreciated. Dentist Petal is also incredibly amazing. He checks in with me to make sure I’m ok multiple times throughout the process. He leaves space for me to ask questions and he doesn’t shame me or make me feel bad for needing extensive dental work done. He also accommodates me in making the process less painful by providing a bite block. And I know he takes patient comfort very seriously. Dentist Bloom had always been amazing to me as well when I went to this office in 2018-2019, however, the last time I saw him recently in this office I left in tears and having a panic attack. I felt very judged and rushed by Doctor Bloom which felt very odd to me as he had always been very kind to me when I saw him in the past. I assume he was just very busy and not having a great day, and I know my teeth are in very bad condition, so that is probably overwhelming for him. It is very important to me to have a dentist who is understanding and has good bedside manner as I’ve put off going to the dentist for many years due to feeling judged or feeling my teeth were so bad I couldn’t fix it. I hope this was just a fluke as I really do not want to have to switch dentist offices. Overall, I think this office is a great place. They typically have very little wait time and most of the staff is very friendly, kind, compassionate, and understanding. That really goes a long way. I would recommend this dental office.

Did a great job fitting me in, and getting all my x-rays complete. Dentist is awesome and goes over and beyond to ensure anything that needs fixing is noted. Only thing is getting appointments sooner, but with Noone wanting to work these days I can understand.

Dental Crowns: A Royal Treatment for Reinforcing and Beautifying Your Smile

Regain Strength, Functionality, and Aesthetics with Custom Dental Crowns

A damaged or weakened tooth can be a cause of discomfort and concern, affecting not only your oral health but also your self-confidence. Dental crowns offer a regal solution to restore the beauty and functionality of your smile, while also providing vital protection for compromised teeth. At Union Street Dental in Bennington, VT, we are dedicated to providing top-notch dental care, including custom dental crowns tailored to fit your unique smile.

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps or dental caps, are custom-made restorations that encase a damaged or weakened tooth. They are designed to cover the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline, providing structural support and improving its appearance.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown typically involves two or more dental visits. Here’s what you can expect during the dental crown procedure:

  1. Initial Consultation: Your dentist will examine the affected tooth, discuss your dental concerns, and determine if a dental crown is the appropriate solution for your needs.
  2. Tooth Preparation: In the first appointment, the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth will be removed, shaping the tooth to accommodate the dental crown.
  3. Impressions: Impressions of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth will be taken to create a custom dental crown that fits perfectly with your bite and smile.
  4. Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your prepared tooth.
  5. Crown Placement: In the final appointment, your custom dental crown will be checked for fit and aesthetics before being permanently cemented in place.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can be made from various materials, each with unique benefits. The most common types of dental crowns include:

  1. Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns offer a natural appearance and are an excellent choice for restoring front teeth.
  2. Porcelain-fused-to-Metal Crowns (PFM): These crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
  3. Metal Crowns: Metal crowns, such as gold or silver, are highly durable and are often recommended for back teeth.
  4. All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns: These crowns provide exceptional aesthetics and are a popular choice for restoring front teeth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer a range of benefits for patients with compromised teeth:

  1. Restored Tooth Structure: Crowns provide strength and support to weakened or damaged teeth, helping them function like natural teeth.
  2. Enhanced Aesthetics: With their customizable appearance, dental crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, improving your smile’s beauty.
  3. Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing a reliable and durable tooth restoration.
  4. Protective Shield: Crowns shield vulnerable teeth from further damage and decay, preserving your oral health.

At Union Street Dental in Bennington, VT, we believe in the power of dental crowns to rejuvenate and protect your smile. If you have a damaged or weakened tooth or are considering dental crowns for any other dental concern, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with our experienced dental team. We are dedicated to providing personalized care and crafting custom dental crowns that fit seamlessly with your natural teeth. With dental crowns, you can reclaim your smile’s royal glory, ensuring both strength and beauty for a lifetime of confident and healthy smiles.
