We’re happy to schedule same-day emergency appointments to help alleviate pain and enable you to resume a normal life as quickly as possible.

We Leverage Top Technologies for Healthy, Happy Smiles

We leverage advanced technology in Holbrook and Scituate, MA for greater comfort, safety, efficiency, precision, and a better patient experience.

1. Digital X-Rays

Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays are a huge leap forward in dentistry. They capture greater detail, take less time to produce, and emit up to 80% less radiation, thereby providing many patients with peace of mind (especially parents). In addition, they don’t require toxic darkroom chemicals to be processed, limiting our practice’s impact on the local environment.

2. Intraoral Camera

One of the biggest past challenges in dentistry was helping patients understand their dental needs when they couldn’t see what their dentist was talking about. Our intraoral camera allows us to capture close-up, high-resolution images of your teeth and gums, which we can immediately show you on a chairside monitor. This camera is a tremendously helpful for patient education and enhances our ability to thoroughly explain the benefits of specific treatments.

3. CBCT Scanner

Short for cone beam computed tomography, CBCT is an imaging technology that allows us to evaluate your underlying bone structure, nerve pathways, and surrounding soft tissues. It is instrumental to planning complex treatments such as dental implants because it provides a more in-depth and complete picture than digital x-rays. During a CBCT scan, the imaging machine rotates entirely around your head and captures about 150-200 images from different angles in less than a minute. These are compiled into a single 3D image that we use to personalize precise procedures to fit your unique dental anatomy, thereby ensuring successful outcomes and a faster, easier recovery.

4. ITero Scanner

As part of our commitment to the latest, most efficient dental technologies, we invested in an iTero scanner. This special handheld wand digitally captures the structure of your teeth and gums with incredible speed and accuracy. It’s compact, easy to use, and can be stopped and started as many times as desired during the scanning process. After the iTero scanning is complete, we can use the digital map to create a variety of treatments focused on improving your smile and bite, including crowns and Invisalign.

5. CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics or Ceramic Reconstruction, CEREC has revolutionized restorative dentistry with major refinements made over the last three decades. While you sit in the dental chair, we take digital impressions that provide a 3D foundation for designing your new dental crown. Next, this information is sent to our in-house CEREC milling machine which etches the crown from a single block of durable ceramic. Color matching and polishing are done while you wait and once we make any minor adjustments, the natural-looking dental crown is bonded to your tooth. This amazing process takes only two hours or so, offers unsurpassed convenience, eliminates messy dental impressions, and is more precise than traditional crowns. Your new crown is strong and durable (with proper care) for long-lasting, natural beauty.

6. Advanced Healing Therapies

Many efforts have been made to develop new bioactive additives that promote and accelerate wound healing, regulate inflammation, and improve soft and hard tissue regeneration. Two that we offer are plasma rich growth factor (PRGF) and plasma-rich fibrin (PRF). PRGF is a type of plasma enriched with proteins and circulating growth factors that aids in bone and soft tissue regeneration, while PRF contains greater concentrations of leukocytes (white blood cells), platelets, and specific stem cells. The white blood cells impart a controlled inflammatory response that targets problem areas, stem cells help regenerate new cells, and platelets stimulate collagen production and rejuvenation. Both of these advanced healing techniques are created from a sample of your blood. The samples are spun in the tubes in a centrifuge, with the top portions drawn up to obtain PRGF or PRF that we place over the treated area to promote healing.

7. Piezosurgery ®

Since its introduction in 2001, Piezosurgery has experienced many refinements and been used for an increasing number of dental applications. This innovative technology enables us to perform procedures such as extractions, crown lengthening, periodontal therapy, and implant site preparation with increased accuracy and minimal discomfort. The ultrasound-based technology relies on micro-vibrations for precise and selective cutting, avoidance of thermal damage, and preservation of soft-tissue structures.
