Our State of the Art Facility:
better dental care through the benefits of high-technology!
Massaging Dental Chairs help to keep you relaxed throughout your entire visit. With adjustable controls and levels, you'll forget you're at the dentist. This is just one more added comfort we provide to keep you comfortable and alleviate the stresses commonly associated with a visit to the dentist.
Reduced Radiation, Radical Results!
Traditionally, dentists find out what’s going on inside your mouth by taking a series of x-rays, developing them in a darkroom full of chemicals, and then examining the resulting films on a special light board. This cumbersome process has been outdated by our digital radiography system. Now, you simply relax in the massaging dental chair while a tiny ‘sensor’ is positioned briefly inside your mouth. The sensor is very sensitive to x-rays and uses up to 90% less radiation compared to traditional dental x-ray techniques. It also allows you to see your x-rays pictures immediately on our overhead HDTV monitors.

Our intra-oral camera is a device about the size of a pen that is placed in the mouth and produces a clear, magnified picture of the teeth and soft tissues.
The patient can view this full-size image on our flat-screen Sony HDTV monitors, helping them to better understand their dental problem and why treatment is needed. It is also great to capture before and after images of the teeth and procedures.

Surgical Telescopes are used to magnify the small field in which Dr. Michael works by up to 3.5 times. This allows for the detection of conditions that frequently remain unnoticed with the naked eye. It also allows for a greater degree of precision, resulting in the conservation of tooth structure; thus promoting tooth longevity.
Dental Dams are routinely used for most procedures in our office. Though uncommon to most patients, dental dams provide Dr. Michael with clear, unhindered access to your teeth. The dam is gently placed over the tooth we work on to isolate it from the rest of your mouth. This isolation keeps water and debris out of your mouth creating a much more comfortable dental experience. It also protects your mouth from the removal of old mercury fillings as well as providing a necessary dry field in which to place your new tooth-colored fillings.
Fiber-Optic, Electric Handpieces are nearly silent! Hate the sound of the drill? No problem here - You’ll barely notice the noise from these new high-tech German designed handpieces. They also provide additional lighting.
Advanced Sterilization
When you visit our office you can relax knowing that the safety of our patients is a primary concern. Cleanliness is as important to us as it is to you and your family. We have spared no expense to ensure our sterilization techniques meet or exceed all guidelines established by OSHA, the CDC and the State of Connecticut. Our facility includes hands-free devices throughout to reduce contaminated surfaces. Our instruments are first sanitized in our medical-grade Hydrim instrument washer and then autoclave sterilized between every patient. Single-use/disposable items are used whenever possible and discarded after each use. You can rest assured that everything is as clean/sterile as possible in our office.
