| Thank
you for visiting our Waltham dentist web site! Our unique home office practice provides
hi-tech dental care in a homey, relaxing atmosphere. We pride ourselves
on our cleanliness and meticulous sterilization techniques. Our comprehensive
services include bleaching, cosmetic bonding, root canals, gum surgery,
crowns, bridges, dentures, extractions, and implant prosthesis. This virtually
eliminates the need for outside referral. For your convenience we are open
on Saturdays, have ample free parking on premises, and accept Visa, MasterCard,

We have recently
acquired state-of-the-art computer aided technology for bite analysis,
digital x-rays (reduce radiation significantly), and digital oral photography
(shows conditions clearly).

A 15"
flat panel computer monitor in treatment room used by dentist
to show patient highly magnified digital x-ray of successful reconstruction
of upper right side of her mouth. "Eye" tooth is restored
with post, crown, and surgical root canal filling. Bicuspid teeth
behind the canine are splinted with porcelain fused to gold bridgework
supported by 2 root form implants.

| Precise,
computer aided bite adjustment spells relief for patients with jaw
pain. Traditional carbon paper used by dentists to indicate "high
spots" on fillings shows only location. T-scan instrument shows
amount of force and time it occurred down to 1/100th of a second!
Photo on left shows dentist asking patient to bite on horseshoe
shaped thin plastic transducer. Graph and movie of patient's bite
appears instantly on computer screen in background. Diagram in center
shows force distribution fairly well balanced between left, right,
and center: blue indicates least force and red indicates greatest.
Click on bar graph on right to play movie
showing how dentist diagnosed and adjusted bite imbalance.
