- Dental ExaminationThe great news is that gum disease is preventable—and curable at an early stage! Just be sure to brush and floss your teeth and have regular professional teeth cleanings and checkups. If you do require care for gum disease, we’re the team to trust. We provide multiple treatments for gum disease in Boston, MA, depending on the severity of your case and the stage of gum disease you’re in. We’ll begin with a consultation that includes an oral examination.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningFrom teeth cleanings to x-rays and oral cancer screenings we’re the hub for all your preventive dentistry care. Each visit will be tailored to your unique needs while always offering the highest level of care. Routine visits should be maintained twice a year in order to catch early signs of dental decay and disease and prevent them altogether.
- Teeth CleaningAfter gum disease treatment is complete, periodontal maintenance is needed to ensure that infection does not develop in the periodontal pockets again. This treatment is completed every 3-4 months in place of normal hygiene teeth cleanings. During the procedure, the teeth are “deep” cleaned at and below the gumline and periodontal pockets are cleared of bacterial plaque and tartar. Your gums will also be evaluated for their pocket depth and signs of bleeding or more infection.
- Fluoride TreatmentWe take pride in helping your child achieve and maintain proper oral health. We provide exams and cleanings, x-rays, dental sealants, fluoride treatment, and monitor the development of oral structures like the jaw and teeth. We encourage you to bring your child to the dentist early to prevent negative associations and develop lasting oral hygiene habits.
- Dental Sealants
- FillingsComposite dental fillings are the metal-free alternative to conventional cavity treatment with amalgam fillings. Composite is naturally tooth-colored and just as durable, for a strong and aesthetic result. The metal-free cavity filling solution also eliminates the risk of allergic reaction or health issues related to mercury release.
- Resin CompositeDental bonding can make cracked teeth look like new. A common cosmetic procedure, bonding involves placing a composite resin, a tooth-colored material much like that used for dental fillings, onto a chipped or cracked tooth, concealing the visible flaws. As with inlays, onlays, and crowns, the bonding material can be chosen to match the color of the adjacent teeth for a harmonious appearance.
- VeneersVeneers in Boston, MA are thin shells of porcelain that cover just the front portion of the teeth that show when you smile. Once your teeth have been modified (a small portion of enamel removed), veneers will fit naturally and restore proper size, shape, and alignment. With minimal maintenance and maximum longevity, veneers are a beneficial and hassle-free choice for renewing your smile.
- CrownsCavity fillings reinforce your teeth, making them strong enough to withstand normal biting pressure after decay or trauma has weakened the tooth. If tooth decay or a cavity is present, we’ll clear it out thoroughly before placing filling material into the empty space and resealing the crown. This will fortify the tooth and preserve your oral health. Fillings come in a variety of materials. We recommend composite fillings in Boston, MA to restore your dental aesthetics, because they’re tooth-colored and don’t show through the enamel.
- BridgesIn addition to its strength, a bridge made from zirconia has the color and translucency of natural teeth. These features are currently unmatched by any other material in dentistry today. We customize this restoration to your smile specifications and to complement your facial features, gum and lip line, and even your skin tone. Your new teeth will also be custom colored to match your natural gums as well as shaded to the brightness you desire. Unlike acrylic and porcelain materials, the smooth and polished surface of the zirconia material will feel comfortable against your gums and resist staining. If you receive a zirconia fixed bridge in Boston, MA from our skilled cosmetic dentist, you can expect your new brilliant smile to last for decades—no one will know they aren’t natural teeth!
- Dental BondingDental bonding is a simple, fast way to repair chips, spaces between teeth, and severe discoloration. A tooth-colored resin material is used for this process. We match the color of this material to your teeth and then build up the improved shape or repair you need with multiple applications of resin. Your repair or cosmetic improvement is accomplished in just one visit.

She continued instructing at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in the Department of Restorative Dentistry until 1999.
- Root Canal TreatmentDifficulty eating certain foods. The fear that the tooth may begin to fall apart. The embarrassment that a visibly damaged or cracked tooth can cause. Even when not accompanied by much pain, chipped, broken, and cracked teeth create their share of problems. Those immediate concerns are just the beginning. If a tooth is broken open, bacteria can easily get inside it and cause a painful infection that may require advanced treatment like root canals if not addressed.

- Deep CleaningAfter gum disease treatment, periodontal maintenance is required every 3-4 months to ensure the infection does not return. These appointments consist of a deep cleaning of the tooth surfaces and the periodontal pockets to remove bacteria and tartar buildup. The gums are then evaluated for signs of bleeding and infection and pocket depth is measured to ensure all oral structures are healthy.

- Flap SurgeryWhen scaling and root planing is not successful at eradicating bacteria and infection or if gum disease has already progressed to advanced stages, osseous surgery is needed. Also known as flap surgery, osseous surgery involves folding back the gum tissue so bacteria and tartar deep in the periodontal pocket can be removed. Damaged bone can also be reshaped and bone lost to disease can be restored before healthy gums are sutured back in place.
- Osseous SurgeryMore advanced stages of gum disease that have damaged gum tissue and bone require surgical intervention. Osseous surgery involves folding back the gum tissues to gain access to the periodontal pockets and tooth roots. These areas are thoroughly cleaned of plaque and tartar, then disinfected. The damaged bone is smoothed and reshaped, and diseased gum tissue is trimmed away. The healthy gums are then sutured back around the teeth to reduce periodontal pocket depth.
- Tooth ExtractionsHave you recently received a tooth extraction? A dry socket occurs when the blood clot in an empty tooth socket is dislodged and exposes underlying nerves and bone. To prevent infection and resolve intense oral pain, this requires immediate treatment, usually involving cleaning the empty socket and packing the space with gauze.
