Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  In addition to regular home care, professional cleanings and exams are the key to dental implant longevity. While your oral hygiene at home is very important, you can’t see or reach every surface in your mouth. At a professional cleaning in our office, each tooth and implant is given the attention it needs, and we can spot, diagnose, and treat oral issues before they get worse. This is why it’s so important to see us every six months!
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Oral cancer is an incredibly deadly disease that’s estimated to impact over 54,000 people in the United States this year alone, according to the American Cancer Society. At each of your routine checkups and cleanings, we’ll provide a thorough oral cancer screening, where we conduct a visual and physical examination of your oral tissues and throat. With these routine screenings, our team can spot early signs of oral cancer and refer you for additional testing whenever necessary.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  If you were referred to our practice by a general dentist, we recommend that you visit us for a routine dental checkup and teeth cleaning at least once every year to monitor the work that has been completed and ensure it remains functional and healthy. We’re also happy to see patients regularly if they don’t have a general dentist, as we provide thorough preventive dental care and periodontal maintenance for those with gum disease.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Tooth-colored fillings are often recommended to treat damage caused by cavities. They’re made from a biocompatible material called composite resin, which can fuse with the natural tooth enamel to create a tight seal. The resin also comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, allowing us to customize its color to be virtually indistinguishable from your natural tooth. Although these don’t last as long as ceramic inlays and onlays, they do provide suitable protection for an average of five to seven years.
• Veneers
  However, veneers have the unique distinction of being able to address just about all of these issues with a single treatment, and in as little as two appointments. Using the power of veneers, the team here at Boston Prosthodontics Dental Group will be able to give you the smile of your dreams; if you want to know more, feel free to give us a call today and we’ll bring you in for a consultation.
• Crowns
  Dental crowns offer aesthetic as well as functional benefits for teeth that are severely misshapen or discolored, have been treated in the past, or are currently damaged. Our team of experts, as well as our master ceramist, will work together to create a restoration that looks beautiful and offers long-term protection to your tooth, so you can continue enjoying it for years to come, so contact our team to schedule your next appointment for dental crowns in Boston.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  We treat your affected tooth (or teeth) with any preparatory procedures such as a root canal, to eliminate decay and bacterial infection. We then modify the tooth by shaving down a layer of surface enamel to allow room for the restoration.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  If you’re considering getting dentures in Boston, we often recommend them for patients who are missing several or all of their teeth and who have enough jawbone density to support them. It’s also ideal for you to treat any lingering oral health problems before receiving your restoration, like cavities and gum disease. Once the full or partial dentures are seated within the mouth, you may be able to enjoy a variety of benefits, most importantly among them, boosted confidence, restored facial appearance, and a new outlook on life.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  One of the amazing benefits of dental implants is the fact that they have a success rate of over 95%! However, dental implant failure is still possible and happens on rare occasions. If you have any concerns regarding your dental implant, don’t hesitate to contact us. By reaching out quickly, we can examine the area and may be able to save your replacement tooth with dental implant salvage treatment.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Vanessa says that the best part of her job is getting to witness the progress our patients make as they go along their dental journey with us. She also loves seeing how happy they are with their results! A graduate of Cambridge College, she received training at Boston University and has experience in general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and oral surgery.
• Maxillofacial Surgery
  Prosthodontists specialize in restoring damaged and missing teeth as well as treating jaw disorders, like TMJD. Unlike general dentists, after they complete dental school, they go on to finish specialty prosthodontic education and a 3-year residency program. This additional training and education provide them with important technical skills and knowledge in focused areas of their field, including oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental laboratory procedures, implant prosthodontics, and much more.
• Tooth Extractions
  Decay, damage, and overcrowding are a few of the several reasons why a tooth extraction in Boston may be necessary to not only restore your oral health but prevent additional problems from arising down the road. Fortunately, our team of expert prosthodontists is well-equipped to restore the complete look and feel of your smile. We’ll work closely with you after your tooth extraction to rebuild any gaps in your mouth, so you won’t have to go any longer than necessary without a complete smile.
• Bone Grafting
  Preparatory Procedures For patients who require preparatory procedures, a follow-up dental appointment will be scheduled. The prosthodontist will perform any necessary tooth extractions and bone grafting procedures. Healing from tooth extractions generally takes two to three weeks. In cases where bone grafting is needed, it will require an additional three to six months of recovery.

Orthodontics

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Improved oral function and health. This is especially true if you undergo Invisalign or restorative procedures. You might also find renewed motivation to care well for your teeth and gums.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Dental staining is an unfortunate reality that most people have to face, either as they age, or throughout their entire lives. This is because discoloration can be caused by several different underlying reasons, ranging from genetics and medications you take to the foods that you eat on a daily basis. Fortunately, if the shade of your teeth doesn’t make you feel confident, you can invest in effective, safe, professional teeth whitening. We offer both in-office and take-home Zoom! treatment, but many of our patients prefer in-office, as they’re able to enjoy results within an hour!
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  Cosmetic dentistry is our forte, as each of our prosthodontists is a dental artist in their own right. Whether you’re looking to address dental misalignment, staining, or you want to restore the structure and shape of a tooth, our team offers a comprehensive array of smile-beautifying treatments. Each smile is as unique and as individual as our distinct patients. At Boston Prosthodontics Dental Group, we recognize that no two smiles are alike and we strive to restore our patients to an improved and better version of themselves. We invite you to discover the possibilities with us by scheduling a consultation today with one of our Boston cosmetic dentists.
• General Dentistry
  As an independent dental practice, not corporate, we not only provide general dentistry, but we also complete the complex work that is only offered in very few offices throughout the world. Our team records all the data that is used to publish information on the lifespan of how long the ceramic restorations last. As educators, innovators, and key opinion leaders, our prosthodontists lecture nationally and internationally on the various aspects of our work and are affiliated with Tufts and Harvard Schools of Dental Medicine.
