Dr. Mark D. Medaugh

Also known as Dr. M by his patients, Dr. Mark D. Medaugh is a dentist near Amherst who pursued painting and ceramics at Bates College before enrolling at the University of Pennsylvania and earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.

Growing up with a family full of dentists and doctors, he maintained an interest and appreciation for the healthcare field. He liked the idea of being able to form relationships to help others while also pursuing his passion for art and science.

His passion for the field is evident in the way he carefully plans and executes a service; he thoroughly enjoys enhancing a person’s appearance and improving their oral function.

I Need A Checkup & Cleaning

Prevention is the name of the game in dentistry. Brushing and flossing go a long way toward preventing tooth decay and gum disease but that’s not the only habit we recommend adopting. You also need to see our dentist near Amherst for a dental checkup and cleaning every six months. These services allow us to maintain your beautiful smile and spot problems before they get out of hand.

I Want To Enhance My Smile

Once Dr. Medaugh has ensured the health of your teeth and gums, he’ll be glad to talk with you about the appearance of your smile. We offer several cosmetic dentistry services, and each one serves a unique purpose. For example, cosmetic bonding is ideal for reshaping a tooth that is chipped or that has a small piece broken off. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, build a brand-new smile with strong layers of dental porcelain that are adhesively bonded to the front side of your teeth.

I Have a Cavity/Broken Tooth

Despite your daily oral health care and regular checkups in our Belchertown dental practice, you may one day need restorative care to restore the look, health, and function of your teeth. Fortunately, Dr. Medaugh offers a number of restorative procedures – from tooth-colored fillings to root canal treatment – at our conveniently located office near Amherst.

I Want to Straighten My Smile

Have you been waiting for the day when you could straighten your teeth without the metal? If so, it’s here! With Invisalign, we can correct several common orthodontic problems, including overcrowding, with a custom series of clear aligners. One of the best parts is that the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months, so you’ll have the smile you’ve been dreaming of before you know it!

I Am Worried About Bleeding Gums

If your gums start bleeding when you brush or floss, call us ASAP! Remember, this is a common symptom of gum disease, which can progress quickly if left untreated. Our goal is to provide the care you need while the infection can still be eliminated.

I Am Pain & Need Help

In addition to these regularly scheduled services, Dr. Medaugh also offers emergency dentistry. In fact, he offers 24/7 service. So, if you sustain a serious dental injury, like a knocked-out tooth, or you’re dealing with pain, sensitivity, and other warning signs of trouble, call! Dr. Medaugh will return your call within the hour, and we will schedule a same-day appointment if necessary.

I Have Jaw Pain

o Are you struggling to concentrate, eat, or sleep because of chronic jaw pain? If so, schedule an appointment with Dr. Medaugh! Once he conducts a comprehensive oral exam and pinpoints the root of the problem, he can discuss your treatment options. Sometimes, it’s TMJ treatment. Other times, it’s a custom mouthguard!
