State of the Art Diagnostics, Treatment and Equipment
Periodontal Associates uses state-of-the-art technology to provide the highest quality and safest dental implant, periodontal, and bone regenerative treatment for our patients.
Dr. Feuerman and Dr. Castellucci have been using high definition 3D CAT scan imaging for diagnosis and dental implant treatment planning for our patients since the early 1990's. There is no substitute for experience and expertise! This sophisticated technology provides three-dimensional, axial, panoramic, and cross-sectional views of the teeth and jawbone anatomy that are much more accurate than traditional x-rays. The 3D CAT scans provide detailed views of the facial structures that enable our doctors to determine the quality and density of the bone in the areas of the jaw where dental implants will be placed. With this information, our specialists will determine the treatment approach that is most ideal for each patient, including the correct type and size of implants and their optimal placement. With the help of this technology, combined with the surgical expertise of our doctors, we can provide excellent care and successful treatment outcomes for our patients.

Digital X-rays are used whenever possible to provide clear, accurate images of the teeth and jawbone. Exposure to radiation is reduced by up to 60% compared to conventional film Xrays!
Dr. Feuerman and Dr. Castellucci were among the first doctors in the country and the first in Massachusetts to use PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) to speed up healing and lessen discomfort for our patients following treatment.
