Doctors and staff at East Brewster Dental provide free dental care for veterans during Veteran’s Smile Week

Brewster, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/06/2016 -- Dozen of veterans in Brewster, MA recently received free dental care from the doctors and staff at East Brewster Dental during Veteran's Smile Week that took place November 9-13, 2015. Throughout the week, Dr. Bellorini, Dr. Harris, and their team of qualified hygienists and assistants provided free dental cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions, and denture repairs as a way to say thank you for their service. East Brewster Dental provided this veteran's dental campaign along with the Massachusetts Dental Society, and was also one of the few dental offices in the area elected to participate.

Unfortunately, most veterans don't qualify for dental benefits like they do for medical benefits. In order for a veteran to qualify for full VA dental benefits, they must be 100 percent disabled, have been a prisoner of war, or have developed a dental condition during their service. This leaves millions of veterans across the nation unqualified for dental benefits, but who also don't have the personal funds to pay full price for dental services they so desperately need. Veteran's Smile Week is a way that dental professionals in the area help veterans get the dental care they need and also contribute to their overall health.

The services offered during this week of free dental care provide veterans with renewed confidence in their smiles as well as improved oral health. Dental cleanings, fillings, and extractions help veterans eliminate bacteria and/or infections in their mouths that can potentially have adverse effects on other body systems. Providing repairs for chipped teeth or broken dentures helps veterans feel confident with their smiles and appearance once again.

One veteran who received free dental care from East Brewster Dental said, "Last week I had my teeth cleaned which was long overdue and a couple days later I got my two front chipped teeth taken care of. These two services saved me hundreds of dollars. I want you to know that I am extremely grateful for all you have done not only for me but also for all veterans who really need this help. I am so thankful for your service to me and for making my teeth look great."

Drs. Glenn Harris and Stephen J. Bellorini of East Brewster Dental now offer computer-guided dental implants for safer, faster surgical placement

Brewster, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/01/2015 -- Dr. Stephen J. Bellorini and Dr. Glenn Harris of East Brewster Dental in Massachusetts are now offering patients the latest technology in dental implants with the computer-guided implant system that is making the surgical procedure both faster and safer for patients. Using computer-guided implants, Dr. Bellorini and Dr. Harris are able to consistently perform precise placement of dental implants that will provide patients with decades of use with their new smiles.

Dental implants represent some of the latest advances in dentistry that allow patients to have full function of their mouth even after losing permanent teeth. Dental implants themselves are small titanium screws that are surgically inserted into the jawbone and are used to support artificial crowns that are custom designed for the patient to match their new smile. As a completed unit, the dental implant mimics the natural structure of the tooth with the root and crown.

The surgical procedure required to insert the dental implants into the jawbone can be complex and risky for older patients or for those with minimal jawbone density. Traditionally, surgically placing implants with just the use of X-rays can result in failed implants because of incorrect placement or even nerve damage when the implant interferes with nerves running through the jawbones. However, with computer-guided dental implants, Dr. Harris and Dr. Bellorini are able to place the implants in the right position each time, dramatically reducing the chance of complications or placement failures.

Computer-guided dental implant technology uses 3D images to provide doctors with a full dimensional view of the patient's bone structure, nerve anatomy, and occlusion. This software then shows the doctors exactly where and at what angle the implant should be placed to provide it with the most support for a successful placement. This software practically eliminates the tedious guesswork for dentists and allows them to complete the surgical implant process more quickly but in a more successful manner.

When placed correctly, dental implants are just as strong, and in some cases even stronger than natural teeth. With dental implants, patients are able to speak normally and eat whatever foods they please.

Drs. Stephen J. Bellorini and Glenn Harris offer Cape Cod patients the latest technology for detecting cavities in their earliest stages

Brewster, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/16/2015 -- Dr. Stephen J. Bellorini and Dr. Glenn Harris of East Brewster Dental in Massachusetts are offering patients the latest in cavity detection technology with DIAGNOdent to prevent the need for invasive dental procedures after oral decay has been left undetected and untreated for too long. Using the DIAGNOdent Laser Detection Caries Aid by KaVo, Drs. Bellorini and Harris can find cavities in their very earliest stages in order to protect and preserve the natural tooth during treatment.

Traditionally, cavities are detected using conventional or digital X-rays and visual exams. However, this method isn't very effective in detecting oral decay in its earliest stages, even prior to it being visible with the human eye. Using DIAGNOdent, the professionals at East Brewster Dental can be 90 percent more accurate in diagnosing cavities and oral decay than when using conventional x-rays.

The DIAGNOdent fluorescent laser uses a special light to expose bacteria, also known as caries, on the tooth. Teeth with developing caries, even in their earliest stages, will fluoresce under the light, signaling the need for treatment. The DIAGNOdent is a small handheld device that is completely painless for the patient.

Because DIAGNOdent technology is so effective in exposing oral bacteria from the very start, Dr. Bellorini and Dr. Harris are able to provide restorative care for patients with minimal treatment. Unlike larger cavities that require anesthesia and drilling to treat, small cavities in their earliest stages may not even require anesthesia or drilling to treat, offering patients much more convenience and comfort. Additionally, minimal treatment also means much less financial impact for patients as well.

Dr. Harris and Dr. Bellorini are committed to providing patients at East Brewster Dental with the latest in dental technology to help them achieve their best and healthiest smiles. In addition to DIAGNOdent, patients of East Brewster Dental also have access to technologies like CEREC, digital x-rays, Biolase and intraoral cameras.
