\nstate-of-the-art technology and patient comfort. Our facility is
\ndesigned to make your visit quick and comfortable.

\n\nWe are a green practice. We have successfully undertaken the
\nproject of converting all paper files to digital records over last
\nthree years and minimize all paper and chemical use in the office.

\n\nWe are also a mercury free office. Five years ago we made a conscious
\ndecision to remove all mercury based treatment in our office.
\nWe are proud to say that we are a 100% mercury free office now.\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>Our Facilities \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\nElectric Handpiece, is the latest and the best which dentistry has to offer.
\nElectric handpieces have created a revolution in modern dentistry
\nand are now the paradigm in handpiece instrumentation.

\n\nElectric handpieces are not only non-intrusive and vibration free,
\nbut are also quieter than regular handpieces. They create precise
\nmargins and defined contours in less time. With constant torque and
\nrotation of up to 200,000 rpm, electric handpieces allow the procedure
\ntime to go down significantly as most of the procedures can be
\ndone more precisely and faster. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>Electric Handpieces \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\nSoft Tissue Laser \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>Laser dentistry is precise way of performing many complex dental
\nprocedures. Needham Dental is one of the few practices which perform
\nLaser Dentistry (less than 20% of dental offices in US have soft tissue
\nlaser). Some of the major benefits of Laser Dentistry are:

\n\n\u2022 Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not
\n   require sutures (stitches).
\n\u2022 Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
\n\u2022 Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light
\n   beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels,
\n   thus inhibiting blood loss.
\n\u2022 Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam
\n   sterilizes the area being worked on.
\n\u2022 Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
\n\u2022 Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.\n

\nSoft tissue laser is used for various procedure in our office including:

\n\n\u2022 Cold Sores
\n\u2022 Pocket Reduction
\n\u2022 Crown Lengthening
\n\u2022 Gummy Smile
\n\u2022 Muscle Attachment (Frenula)
\n\u2022 Soft Tissue Folds (Epulis)\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\nDigital Radiographs \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>After comprehensive research, we have implemented GenDex
\ndigital radiograph system in our office. This technology provides
\n50% less radiation than conventional x-rays and the image can be
\nmagnified 300 times its normal size to enhance the diagnosis. No
\nchemical bi-product is produced from these x-ray images, once again
\nin line with our philosophy of striving to become a environmentally
\nfriendly and green office.

\n\nMost importantly, the images appear instantly and the doctor and
\npatient can review them immediately to treat an evolving condition
\nor the disease. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\nAdvanced Imaging with Intraoral Cameras \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>Intraoral cameras help with early detection of dental health
\nproblems. We can instantly capture crystal clear images of up to
\n100 times magnification and display these on a high resolution screen.
\nBy zooming in on problem areas, we are capable of seeing much more
\nthan one could see with the normal human eye. Intraoral cameras also
\nhelp with finding the beginnings of periodontal disease or tooth decay,
\nthat would have otherwise gone undetected.

\n\nThe cutting edge technology deployed here at Needham Dental helps
\nwith instant diagnosis of problem many times, which in the long run can
\nresult in saving of the tooth and better oral health. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\nPatient Comfort \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>Patient comfort is our utmost goal. Starting with electronic check-in
\nto comfortable waiting area, we make sure that all our patients are
\nrelaxed while in the office.

\n\nAll our operatories are equipped with iPad or video for your
\nentertainment. You can watch shows on Netflix or listen to your choice
\nof music on Pandora. Free wifi is available to all patients while waiting
\n along with educational videos and magazines.

\n\nOur office is conveniently located in downtown Needham next to
\nBeth Israel Hospital and free underground parking is available
\non the premises.\n\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slides>\n\t\t\t\t<\/rs-module>\n\t\t\t\t
