Our team will take over an hour to examine every aspect of your oral health, so we completely understand your situation and can give you as many options as possible.

After your initial appointment, we’ll create a customized document that tells you about your treatment options, expected timelines, pricing, and much more.

Got Questions? We Have Quick Answers

Sometimes when you have a general question, you just want a quick answer. You’re always welcome to contact our office for more information, but if you’d rather not pick up the phone, take a look at our FAQ section below. It’s possible other patients have wondered the same thing and you could find your answer right away!

How can I make a same day appointment with a dentist?

The best way to make a single day appointment at Sound Dentistry is to call our office directly. This helps ensure you get a quick response in the case of a dental emergency! Once our friendly team gets a sense of your situation, we’ll do our best to see you as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment. Established patients experiencing a dental emergency can often make an appointment the same day!

What is the best way to find an implant dentist in New Bedford?

Many dentists are qualified to perform dental implant treatments, but it can be a good idea to do some deeper investigation before settling on a practice. Here’s what you should know:

  • Not all dental offices are able to complete the entire dental implant process in-house and will likely refer their patients to an external oral surgeon.
  • There are three types of dentists that are considered highly skilled with dental implant treatments: prosthodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons.
  • That said, many organizations offer advanced training programs for dental implants. Seeing these institutions in a dentist’s bio is another good indication they know what they’re doing!

What are prosthodontists and periodontists?

Prosthodontists and periodontists are dentists that have completed additional years of schooling or advanced training to specialize in a specific area of dentistry. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Moftah El-Ghadi is highly proficient with restorations and tooth replacements. Dr. Govostes is our periodontist, meaning his specialty is gum health and treating gum disease.

These two fields have some overlap – both are considered highly qualified to place dental implants, for example. But having two specialists in one office certainly makes it easier to deliver top-notch, comprehensive care to our patients!

What does “board-certified” mean for me?

When you’re looking at bios for dental specialists such as prosthodontists and periodontists, you might see this term quite a bit. To put it simply, all board-certified specialists are qualified to practice in their field, but not all qualified specialists are board-certified! To receive board-certification, professionals have to undergo extra tests and evaluation that are overseen by a recognized organization in their field – such as the American Board of Prosthodontists and the American Board of Periodontology.

Board-certification means that your dental specialist has gone the extra mile to study and hone their craft. You can rest assured that you’ll receive the highest level of care with these professionals!
