James Sorrento, DMD - Ipswich, MA (Massachusetts) Advanced Technology for Cosmetic Dentistry

	With a digital chart, radiographs and camera’s we can provide our patients with the latest and greatest dental services that they deserve in these times. We are very excited to offer CEREC technology, which we deliver to our patients on a daily basis. Dr. Sorrento and his staff continue to spend countless hours training and perfecting this new digital artform. Here are some of the technologies we are proud to offer our patients: CEREC Technology CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC technology can provide you with any number of porcelain restorations in just minutes, rather than having to wait weeks and return to the dentist office multiple times. At the moment, almost everyone has a filling that is made of metal or some other type of material that doesn't match the color of the rest of your teeth, and may need to be replaced. CEREC provides you with the option of having your next dental restoration permanently corrected in just one visit to our office. During a CEREC dental restoration, your teeth will be examined to determine what treatment will best provide you with the results you need. If a CEREC restoration is recommended, your tooth will be prepared for the restoration you are receiving and an optical impression of your tooth will be made. This high-resolution optical impression will be used to create a ceramic restoration that perfectly fits your tooth and matches the rest of your teeth. In about 15 minutes, the CEREC milling machine will sculpt your ceramic restoration from a block of porcelain. Once the restoration has been tested for proper fit and so that it does not interfere with your bite, it is permanently bonded to your tooth. The end result is a ceramic restoration that looks and feels just like your natural teeth. CEREC technology can be used to create inlays, onlays, posterior crowns, anterior crowns, partial crowns and veneers. Visit www.cerecstories.com for more info. Odyssey® Diode Laser The Odyssey® Diode Lasers are dentistry’s most user-friendly soft tissue lasers to date. This laser features the latest and finest laser technology for smooth, precise tissue modification. The Odyssey laser promotes quick healing for infected and irritated tissues. Since there is a favorable response to laser treatment, the resultant healing is less complicated and often shorter when compared to traditional techniques. In many cases, the laser can also be used to treat deep gingival pockets that harbor bacteria and cause gum disease. An additional benefit of dental diode laser technology is its ability to reduce the pain and longevity of cold sores and fever blisters. Diagnodent Laser Cavity Detector The Diagnodent Laser is an accurate, reliable caries detection aid. More and more patients place value on healthy and attractive teeth. In order to maintain them, the earliest possible care is essential. Even very small lesions are detected at the earliest stage, enabling you to protect and preserve the tooth substance. Visit www.kavousa.com for more info. Digital X-rays and Intraoral Cameras Using digital X-rays and Intraoral Cameras provides Dr. Sorrento with sharp, clear images right on our computer screen in real time, requiring just a fraction of the radiation of traditional film X-rays. Dr. Sorrento is able to explain your diagnosis and show the problem without ever leaving your side. This makes it much easier for patients to understand the recommended treatment. Digital Dental Chart Sorrento Dental has incorporated digital dental chart technology to further promote faster and easier communication between our staff and our patients. With a focus on being green, using digital technology has taken over the days of the paper chart. Patient information is now stored digitally and is integrated with the other technologies in the office, allowing us to retrieve your dental images and records in real time. Email Communication and Appointment Confirmations Our new office software now gives us the ability to give our patients a choice regarding their communication preferences. We now have the ability to communicate via email and send appointment confirmations via email should you prefer to receive them using this method. For information, call (978) 356-0602, or request an appointment by clicking here.
