- Dental ExaminationYour initial exam will last approximately 30 minutes to one hour. We will review your medical and dental history and perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums. In most cases, during this initial consultation we will be able to provide a diagnosis of your periodontal condition and propose a treatment plan to improve your dental health.
- X-raysWe care about your entire body’s health and well-being, so we believe that reducing the amount of radiation you are exposed to is extremely important. Although the amount of radiation used in dental X-rays is very small, the effect is cumulative, so all radiation counts. Digital X-rays can reduce your exposure to radiation by up to 80%!
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fillings
- VeneersThe scanned information is then transferred to the design center where a 3D model of the tooth is created chairside. We can then design and customize the restoration to fit your unique characteristics, after which it is created in a milling unit right in our dental office. The final result is a natural-looking restoration that beautifully fits the surrounding teeth, making the crown, veneer, or filling virtually undetectable.
- CrownsOur office is pleased to offer same-day crowns, fillings, and veneers to qualifying patients. At the forefront of dental technology, we recently incorporated Planmeca FIT into the treatment options available to patients. As a result, we can take a digital scan of your tooth and design and create a custom, permanent restoration in the dental office, all in a single appointment.
- Bridges
- Root Canal TreatmentConventional bridges and dentures are not fixed to the bone, and can therefore be unstable. This can make it difficult to eat or smile with confidence. Implants not only look more natural, but feel and act more like normal teeth, with a stronger biting force. And because they don't directly rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants don't compromise the health of your natural teeth. In fact, bridges are only expected to last seven to ten years, even less with root canals, whereas implants will typically last a lifetime.
- Periodontal SurgeryThe health of your gums is essential to your overall oral health. Dr. Dennis J. Jodoin is a periodontist in Falmouth and Sandwich that focuses on gum health including periodontal surgery.

- Oral Surgery
- Ridge Augmentation
- Bone GraftingWhen a tooth needs to be removed due to infection, it is not uncommon to have bone loss around the infected tooth. In these cases, various types of bone grafting can be done at the same time the tooth is removed to facilitate the placement of a dental implant at a later date.
