Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on maintaining optimal oral health through comprehensive examinations, professional cleanings, and early detection of potential issues. We utilize digital radiography and advanced diagnostic tools to identify problems like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer in their earliest stages. Regular checkups combined with personalized hygiene guidance help patients preserve their natural teeth for life.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our guided implant placement uses 3D imaging technology to ensure precise positioning and optimal bone integration. We offer single tooth replacements, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch solutions using the All-on-4 technique to meet diverse patient needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made, removable aligners. Our Preferred Provider utilizes advanced planning software to map out gradual tooth movement over the course of treatment. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues while allowing patients to maintain their regular eating and oral hygiene routines.
TMJ Treatment
We specialize in diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint disorders that cause pain and dysfunction. Our approach combines advanced imaging with clinical evaluation to develop personalized treatment plans. Options include custom stabilization splints, Botox injections, and physical therapy techniques to alleviate symptoms like headaches and jaw discomfort.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on establishing positive dental experiences from an early age. We provide preventive care, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect young smiles. Our team emphasizes patient education to help children develop proper oral hygiene habits while making visits fun and anxiety-free through child-friendly communication techniques.

Dr. Malahias and Carol are wonderful! I hate the dentist, I'm not an easy patient and they made it as comfortable for me as they could! They remember my quirks and accommodated me very well! Staff at the front desk were also great! Well deserved 5 stars!

As a rule, I personally don't give on line reviews but in this case Bridgework's is worthy of me giving them kudos. Going to the dentist isn't fun no matter who you choose. Eventually, you're going to have to go. Why not go to a place that somebody like me is willing to give those kudos! Great people and down to earth. Give them a try.

I've been consistently impressed with this dental office. They are consistent and punctual. I've been seeing the same dental hygienist for myself and my daughter over the past 3 years that we've lived in Groton and I love her. She's efficient, does a wonderful job, is fantastic with my daughter and just so personable, every time I go in it just feels like we're just catching up. I look forward to continuing my dental care with Bridgeworks!

Where do I even start, I've been going to Bridgeworks since I was a little lady! Now a grown woman I had to have a root canal! The one procedure everyone dreads the most! Dr. Malahias And his team made it so I was so comfortable from start to finish! Needless to say the only issues I had, were myself getting so worked up with nerves! The work he did was amazing, pain free! I instantly felt so much relief after the numbing went away, I had my mouth back!
I would highly recommend their establishment to anyone looking for a dentist! I haven't always had just Dr. Malahias Too, I feel like they are a dentist family! They truly are an amazing team to have working in your mouth for all your dental needs.

I was scheduled to have a cavity filled. I really hate pain in my mouth. It was pain free and quick. Dr. Antonelli and his assistant were a fined tuned machine. He also spent time taking care of some cosmetic dentistry that I asked about in the same appointment. So great! Saved me another trip. They were all friendly and professional from the reception area to the "operating room". I'm happy with this practice.

I have been going to Bridgeworks at least 2 times per year for over 20 years. I am always very pleased by their professional and friendly service. The staff is always concerned about, not only my dental care, but my overall health and well being. It feels like they have become family.
