Dr. DeMello believes that you should have an idea of how your smile will look after treatment. He uses sophisticated computer enhancement software to transform an actual picture of your teeth into what you will look like after treatment.

This illustration is an example of computer imaging. The young man in the picture wanted to eliminate the space between his upper front teeth but was concerned about the appearance after placement of porcelain veneer laminates. Dr. DeMello projected the appearance of the treatment on the computer screen and the patient accepted treatment.

Dr. DeMello has incorporated digital radiography into his office.

Digital x-rays provide sharp, clear images on a computer screen in the operatory in real time and they save you up to 90% of usual radiation exposure without long waiting times. Digital radiography also eliminates the use of toxic chemicals previously needed to process conventional x-rays.

This technological development allows Dr. DeMello to show you exactly what he sees and to easily explain what steps need to be taken to correct any problem seen on the x-ray image.

And to be extra careful, Dr. DeMello's office filters and monitors the incoming water lines as well making the water supply in the office even cleaner than the water you drink at home.
