Dr. Shi appreciates that the state of the art resources at Pearl Dental Associates allow her to practice preventive care. "We have the technology to take more conservative measures, instead of being in a situation where you remove teeth because nothing else can be done." Dr. Christopher Ward is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Boston University School of Dental Medicine, as well as a board member of the Massachusetts Dental Society's South Shore district. His love of dentistry began early: his aunt is a dentist and, in high school, he accompanied her on mission trips to the Honduras. Along with doctors, pharmacists and other dentists, Dr. Ward still makes these trips with Cape Cares, treating people who otherwise do not have access to dental treatment. There, he performs everything from extractions and root canals to general dentistry and patient education. "Patients line up at the gate at five am," says Dr. Ward. In just five days, the Cape Cares team treats up to 750 people. For Dr. Ward, practicing dentistry at home and abroad is "exactly what I want to do." He loves seeing all types of patients from "pediatric to geriatric." He particularly enjoys treating children and has a special rapport with them. Dr. Pamela Regan received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine and Post Graduate Degree in Endodontics from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. As a dental student, she knew early on that she wanted to specialize, and working on root canals makes perfect use of her aptitude for high-precision surgery: "I enjoy seeing details through a microscope and fine-tuning my work to the millimeter." Dr. Regan has been practicing endodontics for 20 years and is in high-demand, currently traveling between eight dental offices. She loves her work with Pearl Dental Associates: "The office is friendly, warm and easy to deal with. When the members of a staff truly like their jobs and each other, it comes across to the patients." The Pearl Dental Associates staff has a lot of support from Dr. Salem and their own team. "Dr. Salem and my co-workers help me to improve," says Dr. Shi. They also appreciate that the cutting-edge technology at Pearl Dental Associates allows them to provide patients with the absolute best treatment available. "Dr. Salem's whole team is top-notch, from top to bottom," says Dr. Ward. "This is the dentistry of the future." Dr. Chen Shi Dr. Christopher Ward Dr. Pamela Regan
