Our three friendly front desk staff members are here

to answer any questions or concerns you may have and

help make your visit a “family” experience. If you have

a problem or an inquiry, they can help you at the time of

your appointment or over the phone anytime during our

business hours. Their duties include computer scheduling

of appointments, sending insurance claims, billing, and

recalling. The front desk staff also assists in developing

marketing materials, brochures, mailings and other facets

of office communications. Answers to your questions or

help is never more than a phone call away.

Our office retains three certified trained dental assistants.

They assist our dentists at the dental chair so procedures

are done in a timely and efficient manner while maintaining

a high quality of care. Our assistants are also responsible

for sterilization of the dental operatory and instruments,

as well as ordering supplies, taking x-rays, pouring

models, taking impressions, helping create temporary

crowns, producing study models, and making bleaching

trays. In the lab, our dental assistants pack up cases to be

sent to dental laboratories and unpack cases that come in.

Their primary concern, however, is to be sure you are

comfortable and cared for during dental procedures.

We have three excellent licensed dental hygienists.

They are responsible for cleaning teeth, teaching

preventative procedures, x-rays, maintenance and

sterilization of prophylaxis instruments, and identifying

suspicious areas in the mouth. They perform advanced

procedures related to gum disease, including administering

local antibiotics, root planning, and curettage in the hopes

of avoiding more invasive treatments such as gum surgery.

Our hygienists also create records of our patients with

detailed written records, x-rays, and photos. Hygienists

do sealants and have just been approved by the state of

Massachusetts, with advanced training and examination,

to administer local anesthetics such as Novocaine.
