• Oral Cancer Screening
  In order to get a complete picture of your present oral health, we schedule all new patients for a series of two appointments. The first appointment is for a cleaning and radiographic survey. The second appointment is the examination to evaluate and document any past, existing, or potential dental problems. The teeth and gums are checked for decay, and gum/bone disease. And oral cancer screening, bite analysis and digital X-ray diagnosis are performed and discussed. Utilizing the information we have gathered, we’ll then develop a treatment plan specific to your needs.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Great preventative dentistry is more than giving a patient regular exams and cleanings. Dr. Smith and our dental team in Boston try to understand each person’s unique health situation so we can be proactive in stopping potential dental issues before they even pop up. That way, we can protect someone’s health
• Fluoride Treatment
  Most people get enough fluoride through their diet and from oral hygiene products like toothpaste and mouthwash. However, there are many who could benefit from receiving more of this enamel strengthening mineral. That’s why, during your checkups and cleanings, we can also coat your teeth with a concentrated fluoride paste. This will give you an extra layer of cavity protection that you’ll enjoy all the way until your next routine visit with us.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Dental fillings to repair decayed or broken teeth are made from “composite,” synthetic resins. At Dental Health & Wellness Boston, we have not placed amalgam fillings in our office for over a decade. Tooth-colored fillings in Boston are a safe, attractive alternative to silver amalgam fillings and have several additional advantages over the older silver, mercury-containing option.
• Resin Composite
  Composite resin fillings strengthen your teeth as the material bonds directly to the tooth structure, holding it together. The bond at the tooth-filling interface creates a seal that resists micro-leakage, inhibiting recurrent decay that forms when food and bacteria can get in at the margins of a filling.
• Veneers
  With veneers, you can achieve the same picture-perfect smile as your favorite celebrity. We can place one or more thin shells of dental porcelain over any flawed teeth to create a perfectly balanced and attractive appearance you’ll love to show off. Even better, you’ll be able to enjoy your final results after just two comfortable appointments, after which your veneers can be trusted to last about 15-20 years.
• Crowns
  When a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance, crowns can also serve an aesthetic purpose. Your crown can be made from many different materials depending on your preference, including tooth-colored porcelain, cast gold, or porcelain fused to gold.
• Bridges
• Dental Bonding
  Cosmetic bonding is an ideal, custom-made option to conceal severe stains, chips, overlapping, and uneven teeth. Because cosmetic bonding is applied directly to the tooth, it offers additional support for the tooth and can expand naturally just like your teeth, meaning it is less likely to cause cracks in the existing tooth. Plus, our custom-made bonding options are perfectly matched to your natural tooth color!
• Restorative Dentistry
  Dental issues such as broken, chipped, or decayed teeth don't resolve on their own and can complicate daily life while posing risks to overall health. Dr. Smith and Dr. Budd are committed to expertly restoring any damaged teeth through top-tier restorative dentistry in Boston. With the skilled care at Dental Health & Wellness Boston, your smile will be seamlessly restored, as if the issues had never existed.

• Deep Cleaning
  The best method for treating gingivitis is a thorough adult prophylaxis (deep cleaning) including a special deep clean of the gums followed by at-home oral hygiene regimens including proper brushing and flossing. Instead of the standard twice-a-year dental visits, patients with gingivitis often undergo follow-up cleanings every two to three months until the condition has cleared.

Dr Smith has advanced training and certification in adult orthodontics and can help you determine whether the best fit for you is Six Month Smiles® or Invisalign™. These are two options to discreetly straighten teeth with clear braces.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Teeth are gradually shifted using a series of clear plastic trays, with each set worn for about 22 hours a day before transitioning to the next set approximately every two weeks. Every 6-8 weeks, our patients will return to our office to ensure they are making sufficient progress and any concerns are addressed. While the average Invisalign treatment spans 12-18 months, the duration may vary depending on the initial alignment of the teeth.
