Missing a tooth or need one replaced? Dental implants provide a permanent solution.

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA

As a child, a missing tooth is a rite of passage and cause for children to celebrate an anticipated visit from the Tooth Fairy. As adults, a missing tooth or tooth that might need to be replaced is cause for discomfort on many levels, most notably emotional and financial. Unfortunately, many people opt for a quick fix or least costly fix and that can lead to more problems.

“The emotional impact of losing one of your teeth combined with the financial cost associated with repairing it leads people to some rather hasty decisions without considering all the factors,” said Dr. Richard Wolfert, DMD and owner of Smiles by the Toothboss in South Weymouth. “We recommend dental implants because it offers a permanent solution without altering any teeth besides the missing one.”

Treatments for missing teeth or teeth that need replacing include:

  • Transitional replacement – Merely an aesthetic solution that offers limited functionality.
  • Bridge – This involves a tooth replacement and trimming adjacent teeth to transition smoothly with the false tooth. Trimming teeth can increase risk of the tooth abscessing or gum disease.
  • Dental implant – A Titanium based cylinder that replaces the missing tooth root. After a period of time and when the implant has integrated other parts will be placed on the implant, enabling your dentist to eventually place a crown (cap) on the implant.

The process of replacing a tooth via dental implant takes three to six months. An oral surgeon performs the initial phase, which involves replacing the root. Typically, your regular dentist will complete the remainder of the procedure, placing the crown/cap on the implant.

The cost of a dental implant can vary depending on the extent of the repair. Most dental plans will not cover the surgery portion of the procedure. Most plans will cover the crown portion of the procedure up to a certain amount (for most plans, it’s around $1500). You should check with your dental plan provider before committing to a dental implant to be certain of exactly how much is covered. 

“A dental implant is certainly a conservative approach,” said Wolfert. “More and more dentists are recommending dental implants as the preferred method of tooth replacement because of its durability and the lack of potential side effects.”

In addition to crowns for dental implants, Dr. Wolfert offers a wide range of dental services, including comprehensive examinations, cosmetics, tooth-colored restorations, partial and full dentures; periodontics (early cases treated) and emergency services (24-hour emergency phone number available).

Dr. Wolfert’s practice, Smiles by the Toothboss, is located at 1121 Main Street in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. For more information, you can visit Dr. Wolfert’s website at www.toothboss.com or call 781-335-0604 to schedule a consultation.

Just steps from the Tubbs Meadow Preserve, the new Kallio Path subdivision offers access to walking paths and nearby Pembroke center.

Some dream of living within steps of a nature preserve. Others yearn for the convenience of a quaint town center.  Kallio Path, a new subdivision in Pembroke just off Monroe Street, offers both amenities.

Kallio Path abuts the Tubbs Meadow Preserve which includes numerous walking paths and is a quiet highlight on the Bay Circuit Trail, a 200-mile footpath around suburban Boston that was first imagined nearly 80 years ago.

Most people have heard of the Appalachian Trail, and serious hikers are acquainted with the Long Trail in Vermont and the Pacific Crest. But after two decades of nudging, begging, and lobbying by trail advocates and volunteers, the lesser-known Bay Circuit Trail is nearly complete, providing people in eastern Massachusetts an opportunity for long hikes, without a long drive.

The modest cul-de-sac neighborhood is also only one mile from Pembroke Center and shopping convenience.

Infrastructure, including roads, water and electrical for Kallio Path have been completed and the first model home has been sold. There are a total of 10 treed and private lots and each is approximately 1 acre.  A second model home is about to be built.

K&G Development, a Kingston-based custom home building company which is owned and operated by long-term South Shore resident Bob Gosselin, will be working with families to build custom homes that suit their needs.  Gosselin has been building a wide range of homes and neighborhoods for more than three decades. Averaging as many as 50 homes per year, Bob figures he’s built well over 1,500 homes throughout the South Shore.

Working from one of the many stock plans that Bob Gosselin has archived over the years, or collaborating with your architect or one of K & G Development’s preferred architects, you can create the home you always wanted.

For more information, contact K & G Development at (781) 585-5408 or visit http://www.kandgdevcorp.com/.

First Marriage of the Year – January 1, 2012, thanks to eLove

She knew it was love when they shared desserts of cheesecake and apple crisp on their first date at the Piccadilly Pub in Foxboro.

Soon thereafter, Kathy Jones, 51, a Quincy resident and Edward P. Mathers, 58, an Attleboro resident, became perhaps the first newlyweds of the New Year when they tied the knot on January 1, at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Hingham. More than 100 were in attendance.

The wedding, the second for both the bride and the groom, was a family affair and included the daughter of the bride, Kimberly P. Jones as the maid of honor and Kathy’s brother William Long walked her walked her down aisle.

Other participating family including grandson Gabriel Jones, 4, who served as the ring bearer; niece Brianne Killcommons, 5, as flower girl; niece Mary Lou Long assisted with a reading and son Mathew Jones served as an usher. Best man was Ron Stokes, a long-time friend of the groom.

The bride wore a bright red gown which she noted represents “a second chance at love.”

The couple met through eLove, the nation’s largest office-based dating service. Kathy commented, “The dating service was wonderful. They were very responsive and offered great tips and advice to make me more comfortable on my dates. Bless them. I would have never met Edward without their help.”

Kathy continued, “They really matched us well. We have so much in common including a love for outdoor sports – kayaking and biking. We even went on our first camping trip with my family in July. Sometimes we just stay in and get cozy watching movies. Just spending time together is a pleasure.”

Kathy added, “We are very open about meeting through a dating service. In fact, the massage therapist who I saw prior to the wedding ceremony was also married off by eLove. And Ed’s tuxedo rental clerk also met his wife through eLove. We took these as very good signs.”

The newly minted New Year’s couple planned to honeymoon in Portsmouth and North Conway, NH prior to settling in Attleboro.

Time management is hard for anyone these days, but small-business owners can have a particularly hard time completing all their tasks when in some cases it falls on them to be not only CEO of their company, but HR rep and sometimes plumber.

This is the year for some business owners to tackle their fear of time management strategies.
