Providing Comfortable Dental Care

At Hoye Dental, we strive to provide our patients with high-quality dental care in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. With top-of-the-line services and equipment, our offices in Needham and Taunton are both comfortable and well-equipped. By using digital X-rays, chair side TVs, BioLase soft tissue lasers and Xeomin, we can take dental care to the next level.

We use digital X-rays because they produce high-quality, accurate images of a patient’s tooth structures in real-time without exposing them to nearly as much radiation as traditional dental X-rays In addition, to less harmful diagnostic tools, during soft-tissue procedures, we choose to use BioLase, which can perform deep scaling, whitening, crown preparation and cold sore treatments that are quick and painless. Xeomin, which is similar to Botox, is used to help our patients fight the appearance of wrinkles in a safe way.

To increase our patients’ comfort during dental procedures, we have chair side TVs so that you may watch TV during your appointment. The TVs are equipped with 20” LCD monitors that are mounted by your chair for convenient viewing.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Kathleen Hoye, call 508-823-1600 for the Taunton office and 781-444-4647 for the Needham office. To find out more about our practices and services, visit www.HoyeDental.com.

Soft Tissue Lasers

Dental lasers have improved the way that dentists perform a variety of procedures, including the treatment of periodontal issues. From pocket reductions to frenectomies to crown lengthening, it is now possible for patients to have their gums restored while forgoing incisions, stitches and the discomfort of traditional gum surgery. This is why we use soft tissue lasers at Hoye Dental.

With increased accuracy and effectiveness and decreased negative side effects, soft tissue lasers offer many benefits to both dentists and patients. Using the energy of various wavelengths of light to cut and vaporize tissue, procedures that use soft tissue lasers may not require stitches or anesthesia. The laser also minimizes bleeding, bacterial infections and damage to surrounding tissue. In addition, wounds can heal much faster.

Dr. Kathleen Hoye often uses soft tissue laser therapy for pocket reduction, which is the treatment of gum disease. The laser is used to reduce the bacterial levels in the pockets of your gums. By killing bacteria and reducing pocket depth, this therapy helps restore healthy periodontal structures around your teeth.

Soft tissue lasers can also be used for cold sores. They can reduce pain and minimize your healing time. With the pain management attachment, the laser can also help relax TMJ disorders and reduce inflammation.
