Shoreline Dental Care Patient Services

Everyone is entitled to the best care possible.

Is this your first time with us? As a new patient, you'll receive a complete dental health evaluation, which includes an evaluation of your teeth and oral tissues and X-rays. If malocclusion is present, or teeth are missing, a diagnostic impression may be required. Through our examination process, we use a dental imaging system and an intra-oral camera so that you can see everything as well. You will be able to see images of your teeth and gums greatly magnified on a computer monitor during your examination.

We take immediate steps to correct any general dental problems, such as fillings, periodontal or other therapy. You'll be presented with a comprehensive treatment plan detailing services and procedures required to restore healthy teeth and gums. You and your dentist will work together to develop an affordable program dedicated to ensuring proper care, comfort and convenience.

Dr. Tartagni and staff have a leading edge on cosmetics and restorative care. The doctors are skilled technicians. We invite you to look over the many ways we can help and to contact Shoreline Dental Care to discuss cosmetic care that will improve your smile….and your self-image.

Preventive Care and Gum Disease

As with any good dental practice, we believe preventive care is the most effective and economical way to avoid more serious dental problems. With our comprehensive preventive care program, we are dedicated to making sure we help you prevent serious problems. Seventy-five percent of the population has some form of periodontal disease, and we are very active in the non-surgical treatment and maintenance of the disease. All patients are periocharted annually, which means they receive a comprehensive periodontal evaluation.

• Cleaning or Hygiene - It's not just a cleaning; it's an oral cancer screening, examination and a time to find small problems before they become emergencies. Your dental health relates to your overall well being.
• Dental Sealants - An excellent preventive measure for a minimum cost.
• Regular Check-ups - We maintain a computerized re-care system that alerts patients when it is time for their check-up.
• In-Office Periodontal Therapy - In office non-surgical deep scaling and root planning is performed by our hygienists. This is actually a very comfortable experience. The patient plays a major role in the success of treatment with home care.
• Nightguards - Dr. Tartagni specializes in the fabrication of the NTI nightguard system.

There are a number of modern dental procedures that can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth and the warmth of your smile quickly and economically.

Patient Comfort and Technology

Advances in dental technology have led to modern procedures that can significantly improve your oral health faster and with less pain. They also help us provide you with cosmetic alternatives that can enhance your appearance.

• Digital Imaging
• Intra-Oral Camera
• Dental Lasers (Biolase/Waterlase)
  In combination with an air/water spray, the Waterlase Dental Laser is able to replace the dreaded shot in many instances. Since there is no heat or vibration from the Waterlase Dental Laser, the need for an anesthetic is eliminated. Using a combination of laser energy and water, the Waterlase Dental Laser removes dental decay with no shot, no drill and no pain in most cases.
• Chairside Computers
• Patient Education System
• Nitrous Oxide
  (Available in Milford location only.)
• Sterilization Center
• Isolite - A system that helps keep patients' mouths open while suctioning, which lightens the strain on the jaw muscle.
• Radiosurgery (Bident) - Similar to the laser, this device uses no scalpel and is bloodless and painless.

We employ the most comprehensive dental sterilization program known today. In addition, all staff have completed training with an extensive monitoring program to provide a sterile and safe environment for patients. All procedures comply with guidelines established by the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control to protect you from exposure to infectious diseases. You can be confident we will never compromise when it comes to your health and safety.

Pediatric Care

Nothing is more important than the health of your children. A child's experience with his or her dentist leaves a lasting impression that has a significant impact on future dental health. Our entire staff is dedicated to making your child's visit a pleasant and positive experience.
We help your child become comfortable with our office environment and carefully explain the purpose and benefits of a visit to the dentist. We emphasize the need for good dental care. Most importantly, we do all this in an honest and sincere manner to earn your child's confidence and establish our credibility.
