Martha's Vineyard General Dental Care Providing: Complete Adult Restorative Services, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, Endodontics, Dental Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry
Since 1988, Dr. Herman has been providing dental services on Martha's Vineyard. From routine cleanings and only composite fillings to implants, Dr. Herman's office is equipped to handle all your dental needs.
A Periodontal specialist works in the office on a regular basis. The office provides surgical care including extractions and the placement and restorations of implants.
All radiographs are taken digitally, limiting exposure to radiation.
Impressions are also digitally scanned eliminating the need for conventional trays and messy materials. The office still relies on Professional Dental Laboratories to create the optimal dental prosthetics. The use of in office milling machines are not capable of the quality a highly trained full time laboratory technician can accomplish. With the use of digital impressions turn around time is greatly reduced.
An 810 Diode Laser is utilized to avoid excessive soft tissue damage, and prevent the need for periodontal intervention when possible. Night guards and other appliances can be created in the office.
Intraoral photography is available in all operatories, allowing the patient to see what is being done, and understanding why procedures are necessary.
