Our Westerly Dental Office & The Advanced Technology We Use

We use digital impressions in place of physical molds for cosmetic and restorative treatment planning. A small handheld scanner captures precise images of the teeth and bite relationship quickly and comfortably—no trays, no material to hold while it sets. The data feeds directly into the CEREC fabrication workflow and treatment planning, producing more accurate results with fewer variables.

The Cavitron is an ultrasonic instrument used during hygiene appointments to break up and remove calculus deposits from tooth surfaces and below the gumline. It covers surfaces more thoroughly than hand scaling alone and with less physical pressure—most patients find it more comfortable than a conventional cleaning. Our hygiene team uses Cavitron as a standard part of every appointment.

Cone beam CT imaging gives our team a three-dimensional view of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding bone structure — detail that a standard X-ray cannot provide. This allows for more precise diagnosis and treatment planning across a range of procedures where a fuller picture of the anatomy matters.

Overjet is an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that analyzes dental X-rays to help identify areas of concern with greater consistency. It supports clinical judgment rather than replacing it, adding a detection layer at the examination stage that helps our team catch concerns earlier, before they require more involved treatment.

Oral cancer screening is included as a standard component of every comprehensive exam—no separate appointment, no added cost. The screening involves a brief visual and tactile review of the oral tissues for any irregularities worth monitoring or referring. Early detection significantly affects outcomes, which is why it is part of every visit rather than an occasional add-on.
