Dr. Frank Depaola, DDS

As a member of the IACA, an exclusive association for aesthetic dentists practicing neuromuscular dentistry, Dr. DePaola uses advances in science to find a healthy bite for his patients. Dr. DePaola will find the correct alignment of your jaw. To do so, he will first scientifically exam all components in minute detail: muscles, hard and soft tissues, teeth, nerves and joints, upper cervical complex and CNS. After analyzing the interaction of all these elements, he will determine the ideal muscular position to attain and carry out the most appropriate corrective procedure. The neuromuscular dentistry equipment used at The Practice at Maxwell place is completely computerized and provides extraordinary accuracy. This leaves no room for subjectivity and ensures optimal results.
Dr. DePaola is an Invisalign certified dentist and can create a stunning smile for his patients with the use of custom made invisible aligners. In fact, most people won’t even recognize that a patient is going …through treatment. Each Invisalign system is created for one unique individual, resulting in a smile that truly fits.
Healthy gums are critical to an individual’s overall health, so hygiene visits with Dr. DePaola are more than just a regular cleaning and exam. He uses advanced training and technology to diagnose and treat periodontal disease before it becomes a major threat to the patient’s health. If the patient does not respond to the initial cleaning and irrigation, Arestin can be placed in the problem area to kill bacteria. Additionally, laser decontamination can be used, or Dr. DePaola can use OralDNA to identify the particular tissue-invading bacteria and specific antibiotics can be prescribed to destroy the bacteria once and for all.
Dr. DePaola believes in delivering state-of-the art dentistry that is both conservative and attractive. This results in stronger, more natural-looking restorations for patients. Dr. DePaola offers metal-free dentistry including tooth-colored resin fillings, inlays, onlays, crowns, dental bridges and dental implants. Resin and porcelain eliminate the danger of decay under fillings and they are stronger and require less drilling of healthy tooth structure for placement.
Whitening can get your smile looking its best and that’s why Dr. DePaola offers state-of-the-art Zoom! Whitening.

Other benefits include quickness and convenience, longevity, low sensitivity and the fact that it is proven to be safe and effective.
Many of Dr. DePaola’s patients have come to him looking for a more naturally youthful appearance, so he uses Restylane to plump skin and create a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts. This dermal filler is injected into the lines and defects around the patient’s mouth and it remains in the skin, bonding with water to produce new lift and firmness in all areas.
As a Pure Power Mouthguard certified dentist, Dr. DePaola can help patients achieve better balance, longer endurance, improved strength, more power and expanded range. It all is based on a properly aligned jaw, which Dr. DePaola finds through using neuromuscular dentistry. Analyzing the muscles will help him find the patient’s most efficient, restful state which will improve performance.
