Dental Services at Apex Dental
Apex Dental offers the dental services you and your family need to achieve these goals and enjoy a lifelong smile that looks and feels great. Our goal is to meet your needs with dental care tailored to your oral health risk factors. Dr. Gauthier and his team will work with you so you can get comfortable and high-quality treatment.
General Dentistry
The foundation of your dental care is comprehensive general dental care. We’re here to maintain healthy smiles and start as soon as the primary teeth erupt in young children. Our general dental services include:
Preventative care is key to routine treatments. Dr. Gauthier wants to prevent future dental problems like gum disease, cavities, and even tooth loss. Tackling dental problems head-on with fillings, root canal treatment, or dental extractions can prevent you from serious pain and discomfort.
Restorative Dentistry
When a dental problem arises, we offer a variety of restorative treatments to repair damaged or missing teeth. Treating the issue early often allows for simpler treatment options and helps prevent other dental problems.
Dr. Gauthier has advanced training and experience in treating TMJ disorders and other bite problems to restore a balanced, functional, and comfortable bite. He received training from the Dawson Academy and SPEAR to thoroughly understand how to diagnose and treat patients with bite problems, orthodontic concerns, and restorative dental needs.
Dr. Gauthier uses his continuing education to offers comprehensive services and address complex dental problems. Dental restorations that Dr. Gauthier offers at Apex Dental include:
These treatments can create a more balanced bite and improve the comfort of your smile. When you fix worn or damaged teeth, you protect your other teeth from wear and tear. Replacing missing teeth reduces your risk of shifting teeth filling the missing tooth gap. TMJ treatment also reduces jaw pain, headaches, and tooth pain.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Do you want to improve the aesthetics of your smile? Dr. Gauthier is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and has completed training courses from the American Academy for Facial Esthetics (AAFE). He can completely transform his patients’ smiles and also address fine lines, wrinkles, and facial sagging.
Dr. Gauthier provides Botox to address TMJ headaches and facial pain, as well as smooth wrinkles around the eyes, nose, and mouth. With Juvederm dermal fillers, Dr. Gauthier can add volume to the face while minimizing wrinkles. Thread lifts are also a non-surgical option that Dr. Gauthier provides to lift the face and smooth the skin.
Dr. Gauthier is committed to personalized cosmetic dental care that supports your long-term dental health. He stays on top of new techniques, materials, and technology to improve your experience.
Our cosmetic dental services in Northborough include:
- Invisible Braces
- Invisalign
- Porcelain Veneers
- Teeth Whitening
- Zoom Whitening

Cosmetic dentistry also focuses on how your teeth and mouth function. Many cosmetic treatments can improve your oral health and how your teeth look. Treatments like veneers and crowns can repair chipped, worn, or misaligned teeth so you can bite and chew again.
Straightening crooked teeth can reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease because straighter teeth are easier to clean. Cosmetic care combines function and aesthetics so you can get a beautiful smile that works well.
Anxiety At The Dentist? No Problem!
Do you experience anxiety or fear at the thought of visiting a dentist? If so, you’re not alone. Anxiety is one of the number one reasons why patients delay dental treatment or don’t visit their dentist on a regular basis. Our Northborough, MA dentists are here to help patients feel more at ease throughout their dental visits.
Follow these tips to combat anxiety at the dentist:
- Share your anxiety with us: Letting Dr. Gauthier and our team know about your fears is one of the best first steps. He is dedicated to patient comfort and will take extra time to explain each step of your visit and check in with you often. Sometimes, simply talking about your concerns can ease stress and help you feel more in control. Dr. Gauthier’s office is always a judgment-free space where your comfort comes first.
- Schedule your appointment during a low-stress time: Try to book your visit at a time of day or week when you feel the least rushed or overwhelmed. For some people, mornings are best, while others prefer afternoons or days off. It’s easier to relax and focus on your care when you don’t need to worry about work or school. A calm schedule can make your dental visit feel much more manageable.
- Bring headphones for comfort and distraction: If the sound of dental tools makes you nervous, you can bring headphones. You can block out noise and feel more relaxed when you listen to your favorite music, podcast, or audiobook. Focusing on something you enjoy can also distract your mind and make the time pass more quickly.
You also want to make regular visits to the dentist. Good oral hygiene helps prevent infection and reduces the need for invasive dental treatment later. Regular visits will also help you feel more comfortable with our office staff and Dr. Gauthier.
