General Dentistry
The foundation of your dental care is comprehensive general dentistry. We’re here to maintain healthy smiles, starting 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 full range of restorative treatments to address tooth damage and loss. Treating these concerns promptly can often enable the most conservative options to succeed and prevent the onset of related dental problems.

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 are not alone. Anxiety is one of the number one reasons why patients delay dental treatment or do not visit their dentist on a regular basis. Our Northborough, MA dentists are committed to helping patients feel more at ease throughout their dental visits. Follow these tips for combating anxiety at the dentist:
- Share your anxiety. Dr. Gauthier is dedicated to his patients and will take the necessary steps to make sure that you feel as comfortable as possible. Sometimes, simply sharing your thoughts can make you more relaxed. Dr. Gauthier’s office is a judgment free space.
- Schedule your appointment during the least stressful part of your day/week. This time varies among different people, but if you do not feel rushed or under pressure, your visit will be much more pleasant.
- If the sound of the handpiece or dental instruments is the source of your anxiety, consider bringing headphones. You can listen to your favorite music or an audiobook in the dental chair. Listening to something can also help distract you from treatment.
You also want to make regular visits to the dentist. Maintaining good oral hygiene helps prevent dental diseases and reduces the need for invasive dental treatment later. Regular visits will also help you feel more comfortable with our office staff and dentists.
