Reviews:

THANK YOU Dr..Marc Boivin and staff for taking care of my dental needs.   Dr, Boivin you are the greatest!  I am 58 years young HA HA!  I could not find a dentist to take care of my teeth properly until now.  I felt that the last I had was like a used car salesman, selling me what  I didn’t need.  That’s why I had not been to a dentist for over 3 years.  I did not know what to do as my teeth were deteriorating and needed much attention.  I hate to say it by I picked up the phone book and looked for a dentist close to work, so I wouldn’t lose to much time from work.  What a lucky pick!!!  Dr. Marc Boivin’s approach to my dental needs were outstanding.  Dr. Marc Boivin took care of my teeth in an unbelievable short period of time and looked forward to every dental visit and the awesome results and changes I saw.  I was so impressed with your staff also very competent and organized.  I could not believe every dental visit, you took me on time or even before my appointment time and went right to work, not keeping me in dental chair for a lengthy time, which I have experienced many time in the past.  My next appointment is in November and will be looking forward to it .   Regards forever:  D.M.

Dr Marc Boivin, thank you for the veneers and my new lease on a beautiful smile!!!!.  I was always so self conscious of my smile and tried invisalign with an orthodontist and was not completely happy with the results.  My veneers gave me the confidence to smile in pictures!  I always had smiles  hiding my teeth and I never looked comfortable or happy for that matter, in family pictures .  I always looked like something was holding me back.  We  just  had a family picture taken and I finally look happy!!!.  .I  now have confidence in social situations and actually welcome them.  This has not only changed how I feel about myself but how I interact with others.
Thank you Dr. Boivin,  D.B. 

Porcelain veneers are a non-specialty interest which require no specific training to promote these services.  Although, Dr.  Marc Boivin and Dr. Greg Boivin have taken continuing education training in porcelain veneers.

Sealants: Procedures for protecting against tooth decay

Sealants
A sealant is a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth.  More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves.  Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and are very susceptible to decay.  A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.

Sealants can protect teeth from decay for many years, but need to be checked for wear and chipping at regular dental visits.
Reasons for sealants:
Children and teenagers – As soon as the six-year molars (the first permanent back teeth) appear or any time throughout the cavity prone years of 6-16.
Adults – Tooth surfaces without decay that have deep grooves or depressions.
Baby teeth – Occasionally done if teeth have deep grooves or depressions and child is cavity prone.
What do sealants involve?
Sealants are easily applied by your dentist or dental hygienist and the process takes only a couple of minutes per tooth.
The teeth to be sealed are thoroughly cleaned and then surrounded with cotton to keep the area dry.  A special solution is applied to the enamel surface to help the sealant bond to the teeth.  The teeth are then rinsed and dried.  Sealant material is carefully painted onto the enamel surface to cover the deep grooves or depressions.  Depending on the type of sealant used, the material will either harden automatically or with a special curing light.
Proper home care, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new sealants.
