Bubble Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics was created and themed to make going to the dentist fun and easy for kids and their parents, we refer to our office as Destination Dentistry. We believe that by teaching your children good dental habits at an early age we can positively affect their health, wellness, and confidence for the rest of their lives. Our pedodontists and orthodontists can provide expert care using the latest technology and provide you and your child with oral health education so you can be assured they are receiving the best care possible.
Technology
- iTero Scanner – digitally scans the mouths of patients creating three-dimensional dental images in minutes. This 3D image helps our orthodontists diagnose orthodontic problems and develop the best treatment plans. No more goopy impression trays that are uncomfortable and cause gagging in some patients.
- Digital Indirect Bonding of Braces– Indirect bonding is a method of applying brackets for braces to the teeth in such a manner that an entire set of braces can be applied in less than an hour. By using indirect bonding we can increase patient comfort and ensure the accuracy of bracket placement for a better outcome.
- Digital X-rays: Uses 90% less radiation and provides immediate images to quickly diagnose hidden problems
- Calming Nitrous Sedation (Laughing Gas): If your child is anxious about dental procedures, Nitrous Oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent we can use to calm your child.
- Cosmetic “tooth-colored” Fillings: We utilize white composite filling material, and bonds with the teeth so that it is hard to tell that a child has even had fillings.
- Digital Dentistry: Instead of using a putty-filled tray to take a dental impression, which was uncomfortable and caused gagging in some patients, we can digitally scan your child’s mouth in about 90 seconds using our iTero digital scanners. Not only is it fast and comfortable, but it produces better quality models of your teeth, and it also provides a quicker turnaround time on retainers, Invisalign, and braces.
Comprehensive Children’s Dentistry by Specialists
Not all children’s dentists are specialists. Our pediatric dentists and orthodontists have spent an additional 2-3 years to become specialists in their fields. These additional years are spent training the specialists in the unique needs and care of children. In addition, our pedodontist is board-certified as a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Our warm, caring, and attentive dental team provides a wide range of children’s dental treatments to ensure that your child will develop and maintain beautiful, healthy teeth. With proper and consistent dental treatment, we can not only help to prevent cavities in the future but also teach your child good habits that will last them a lifetime!
Orthodontics
General Anesthesia (GA)
General anesthesia for children may be necessary if they require a major dental procedure or need multiple teeth treated at once. The greatest advantage of putting a child to sleep is that they will not be traumatized by their dental work. Some of the medications that are used help the child forget all about what happened during treatment. Also, once the child is asleep, all treatment, including x-rays, fillings, crowns, and cleanings can be done at once in a manner that is not as traumatic or scary.
Most offices cannot offer this service, so they will schedule you at a local hospital. The usual wait time is 6+ months at the hospital. However, Bubble has all the permits and requirements from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide general anesthesia here. We have partnered with Northeast Dental Anesthesia Associates to provide general anesthesia for our patients in our office. They are the leading office-based sedation provider in New England so you can be confident your child will have the best care. Our GA program takes your child’s fear away of having to go to the hospital for dentistry.
Marine Life Theme
We designed our brand new office with your and your child’s comfort and imagination in mind. Our Destination Dentistry-themed office is full of marine life from the waters of New England. You and your child will be awestruck when you enter the office and walk through the “underwater” tunnel with a variety of marine life swimming above you. Once you enter the reception area, Balee, our Humpback Whale suspended from the ceiling will greet you as well as our harbor seals Frank and George, who are eager to have a selfie taken with you. Our theme continues in the treatment area with more than 100 fish, dolphins, tuna, stingrays, and turtles swimming above you offering your child the feeling of being at the aquarium. We also have coral reef tanks and Moon Jellyfish tanks to offer a sense of calm and relaxation while at Bubble.
