- X-raysDigital radiography is just a fancy way to say computerized X-rays. While the technology has been available for a while, it is now just becoming practical for the more progressive dental office. Computerized X-rays use a computer to capture the image rather than film. The image then is displayed on a computer screen for the dentist and patient to view together. What this means for you is that the patient can take a more active roll in discussing treatment, because the dentist can point out the areas of concern much more easily. Also, probably even more significant for the patient, is that the X-ray can be taken with much less radiation exposure as compared to film. As you can see on the chart, dental X-rays never posed a potential risk, but with digital radiography any thought of risk is all but eliminated.
- Teeth CleaningYou are all awesome!!! Such a nice experience to go to a dental office where everyone is so friendly. Especially when visiting the dentist is never really pleasant!!! I didn't feel nervous at all, which I was expecting after having from my previous dental office. Marie, you did such a wonderful job on my teeth cleaning that I still don't want to eat....My teeth feel so clean...Can't wait until my next dental cleaning...I am trying now to get my husband there as I know he will say the same things. If I had known about you guys prior to coming last week, I wouldn't have waited so long.

- CrownsThe entire experience at your practice is stellar. I feel in excellent hands whether having routine dental cleaning or more extensive dental work. The team is so friendly and relates well to each other.It is so refreshing to hear the hygienist/dental assistants speak so highly of the dentist. Dr. George has a wonderful reputation in the region, and has shown real compassion and patience with the unusual problems I have experienced with a crown. Please keep up this high level of excellence!

- Restorative DentistryBorn and raised in Cheshire, Massachusetts, Dr. Dermody is a proud Berkshire native. Like Dr.George, he also attended Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. In 2020, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Dermody and his sister Patrice, a registered dental hygienist, joined the practice in the summer of 2020. They, and their triplet brother, have been patients of the practice since they were in grade school. It has been a lifelong dream of his to return home to practice dentistry. He is Invisalign certified, and prides himself in staying current in modern dental practices involving dental materials, restorative dentistry, digital dentistry, and pain management. He is also an active member in the American Dental Association, Massachusetts Dental Society, and Berkshire District Dental Society.
- DenturesDo you suffer from loose fitting dentures? Are you tired of using those sticky, messy denture adhesive pastes that don’t work. If so, there is a simple solution you may not know about.
- Dental Implants
- Oral Surgery
- Gum SurgeryAfter considerable research, Dr. George has found a much less invasive and much more comfortable way to treat this wide-spread condition compared to traditional gum surgery. The procedure, called LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure), works on gum disease similarly to how LASIX works with eyes.
- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign uses a series of trays instead of brackets and wires. As your treatment progresses, you’ll move from one tray to another about every two weeks until you’ve worn every tray in your kit. There’s nothing to tighten and you can easily remove your aligners for meals and when you need to brush and floss. That makes treatment with Invisalign more convenient and more comfortable. What’s more, you’ll only need to visit our dental office every four to six weeks for a quick checkup.
- BracesProbably the most significant advancement is that the braces are practically invisible. By using clear brackets and tooth colored wires the braces almost disappear.
- Teeth WhiteningThe Kör Deep Bleaching™ Technique is absolutely the most effective whitening system ever developed. The best part of all – the teeth whiten with no sensitivity.
