Electric handpieces have created a revolution in modern dentistry
and are now the paradigm in handpiece instrumentation.
Electric handpieces are not only non-intrusive and vibration free,
but are also quieter than regular handpieces. They create precise
margins and defined contours in less time. With constant torque and
rotation of up to 200,000 rpm, electric handpieces allow the procedure
time to go down significantly as most of the procedures can be
done more precisely and faster.

Laser Dentistry (less than 20% of dental offices in US have soft tissue
laser). Some of the major benefits of Laser Dentistry are:
• Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not
require sutures (stitches).
• Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
• Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light
beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels,
thus inhibiting blood loss.
• Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam
sterilizes the area being worked on.
• Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
• Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
Soft tissue laser is used for various procedure in our office including:
• Cold Sores
• Pocket Reduction
• Crown Lengthening
• Gummy Smile
• Muscle Attachment (Frenula)
• Soft Tissue Folds (Epulis)
digital radiograph system in our office. This technology provides
50% less radiation than conventional x-rays and the image can be
magnified 300 times its normal size to enhance the diagnosis. No
chemical bi-product is produced from these x-ray images, once again
in line with our philosophy of striving to become a environmentally
friendly and green office.
Most importantly, the images appear instantly and the doctor and
patient can review them immediately to treat an evolving condition
or the disease.
problems. We can instantly capture crystal clear images of up to
100 times magnification and display these on a high resolution screen.
By zooming in on problem areas, we are capable of seeing much more
than one could see with the normal human eye. Intraoral cameras also
help with finding the beginnings of periodontal disease or tooth decay,
that would have otherwise gone undetected.
The cutting edge technology deployed here at Needham Dental helps
with instant diagnosis of problem many times, which in the long run can
result in saving of the tooth and better oral health.
