Robert N. Harelick, DMD in Fairhaven, MA | Dentistry & Dentists

Robert N. Harelick, DMD

We have a modern facility with the most technologically advanced techniques and equipment available. For instance, we use a videographic diagnostic device called an intra-oral camera. This camera projects "a tour of the patient's mouth" on a monitor. This enables the dentist, the hygienist, and the patient to view and discuss the patient's needs together. We also use an air particle beam, whenever possible, instead of a drill to treat cavities without an injection, numbness or discomfort.
For your protection and that of our staff, we exceed Universal Precautions with meticulous sterilization and disinfection techniques recommended by the Center for Disease Control and O.S.H.A. We are always pleased to give you a tour of our sterilization room, along with an explanation of our infection control procedures.
Our friendly and comfortable environment is very conducive to helping people reach their dental goals.
