Services
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dentistry services include crowns, bridges, and fillings performed using portable equipment at patients' homes. We address cracked teeth, decay, and missing teeth with durable, aesthetic solutions that restore function and confidence. Treatments are completed through multiple visits with lab-fabricated restorations, ensuring long-term oral health improvements for homebound individuals.
Mobile Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are conducted at bedside using portable suction and polishing tools to remove plaque and prevent gum disease. Our hygienists provide oral health education to caregivers while performing deep cleanings for patients with heavy buildup or periodontal concerns. This service maintains oral hygiene for seniors unable to visit traditional dental offices.
Diagnostic X-Rays
We utilize portable digital X-ray machines to diagnose dental issues with minimal radiation exposure, producing high-quality images comparable to fixed offices. Intraoral cameras capture detailed visuals for accurate treatment planning, enabling comprehensive assessments of tooth decay, bone loss, and other oral conditions during home visits.
Dentures
Custom dentures and partials are fabricated through multiple home visits, including impressions and fittings, with on-site adjustments and relines. Our team provides ultrasonic cleaning services for existing dentures while educating patients on proper care and maintenance to ensure comfort and longevity.
Oral Health Education
We educate caregivers on managing dry mouth, preventing decay, and maintaining oral hygiene for patients with dementia or physical limitations. Our staff provides personalized strategies to overcome brushing challenges and addresses the connection between oral health and systemic conditions like heart disease in senior populations.

Dr. Caputo and her assistant treated my elderly aunt who has dementia in the Memory Care community in which she lives. From the first appointment to the follow-up emails they exceeded my expectations in every way. It's wonderful how they used my aunt's bed as the "chair" and they had everything they needed on their cart. The scheduling was seamless, they worked efficiently and with great care and compassion. I give Dr. Caputo the HIGHEST recommendation!

Dr. Vaghari and his assistant were fantastic. My father-in-law is 103 years young and unable to leave his residence. The doctor treated him with professionalism and compassion. Within minutes they had set up all the makings of a dentist office next to his bed and completed the necessary dental procedure. My father-in-law is now comfortable and without pain. Thank you.

My 88 year old Mom has osteoporosis arthritis among many other health issues. She is immobile, bound to a hospital bed and her dental discomfort had become unbearable. :(
When I initially called and spoke with Elaine, I knew right then and there everything was going to work out and my Mom was going to receive the best care anyone could get. She understood the urgency of our situation and was able to schedule the appointment within a day. Elaine was professional, compassionate, efficient and so darn NICE! :) ALL GENUINE!

Dr. Caputo and her team/staff are fantastic! They are all so caring and easy to work with. They make sure that my mom is comfortable during every visit. It's like getting a dental office coming to your home at every appointment, so Dr. Caputo and her assistants get the job done right every time!

Dr. Caputo and her assistant were very good with my mother. They have all the equipment to do pretty much everything. My mother resides in a Board & Care and suffered a stroke. We were recommended by my Mom's mobile dental hygienist, Smiles on the Run, and the recommendation was a good one. My mother also suffers from aphasia and cannot verbalize her needs, so Dr. Caputo and her assistant were constantly talking her through what was going on and what they were doing. This made my Mom feel at ease. They were very reassuring to her and very gentle with her. I would recommend Dr.
