Complete Your Smile and Regain Self-Confidence with Dental Implants from Dr. Sasson

February 5, 2014

If you’re missing one or more teeth, particularly if there are visible gaps in the front, it’s likely that you’re more than a little uncomfortable with showing off your smile. Lost teeth not only affect your appearance and self-confidence, but can also contribute to more serious oral health problems if left untreated. At Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA, Dr. Sasson and his caring staff help patients just like you reclaim their complete, beautiful smile with permanent dental implants.

Replacing Teeth with Dental Implants

When a tooth is removed from the oral cavity, whether by force of injury, gum disease or via professional dental procedure, it leaves behind an empty space and an unstable section of jaw. In the absence of the missing tooth’s stability, surrounding teeth begin to drift and jaw bone can begin to deteriorate over time. Patients with missing teeth also tend to have a higher risk of developing periodontal disease, a condition that can negatively affect other parts of the body.

With advanced dental implants from Boston Smile Center, Dr. Sasson replaces your lost tooth with a sturdy, natural-looking prosthetic tooth, restoring stability to the jaw and keeping other teeth in their proper place. First, a tiny titanium post is implanted into the jaw bone, serving as an anchor for the tooth-colored crown that is to serve as your new permanent tooth. You care for your implant in the same way you would your natural teeth – brushing, flossing and visiting Dr. Sasson’s office for routine cleanings.

Reclaim Your Smile Now

Don’t let missing teeth hold you back for another day. Contact our Brookline, MA office now to schedule your free consultation with Dr. Sasson to find out how dental implants can fully restore your beautiful smile. We proudly serve patients from Cambridge, Boston, Newton, Chelsea, Somerville and beyond.

Shutterstock Lumineers Close UpDo you often find that you avoid laughing or smiling in public because you’re ashamed of the condition of your teeth? Has the condition of your mouth caused you embarrassment due to deep staining, gaps, or chipped teeth? At Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA, Dr. Sasson and his team want you to know how easy it can be to get a brand new smile you’ll actually want to show off with porcelain veneers.

  • Teeth that are too small or oddly shaped
  • Persistent yellowing, staining and discoloration
  • Chipped or cracked enamel
  • Minor misalignment
  • Gaps between front teeth

Unlike many other cosmetic procedures designed to completely change the appearance of your features, the applications of porcelain veneers is simple and relatively quick. In fact, using only the latest technology available in the industry, Dr. Sasson can give you the bright, even smile you’ve always wanted in as little as two visits to his Brookline office.

Our Brookline Office Can Help You Perfect Your Smile at Last with White Spot Removal

November 30, 2013

group smiling 2There are all sorts of small, cosmetic flaws that can aggravate patients who want to feel completely confident in their smile’s appearance, such as chips, cracks, gaps, misalignments, and more. But have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed the presence of small white spots or discolored areas on your teeth? Although these unsightly areas don’t pose any dangerous threats to your oral health, they can still cause teeth to become sensitive and prone to future decay. They can also be an annoyance after working so hard to polish your smile with other cosmetic dentistry treatments. Thankfully, Dr. Sasson and his dedicated staff offer a solution here at our Brookline office: white spot removal! After this simple procedure, you can finally enjoy the happy, healthy smile you deserve.

Why do I get white spots?

White discoloration most commonly occurs to patients who wore orthodontic braces as a child. This results in a loss of calcium from the enamel, which causes the spots to form. Additionally, drinking and eating a high quantity of foods high in acids as child is also a notable cause.

Thankfully, our white spot removal treatment is available! We rely on Icon, a revolutionary new technology that rebuilds your enamel permanently while also making sure to match the color your restored tooth to the rest of your smile. White spot removal treatment is simple and very affordable – no uncomfortable shots or drilling required! Feel free to view some before and after pictures of patients who’ve undergone the treatment here and see the change for yourself!

Contact our Brookline office today to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson! Our team works hard to give all patients a reason to smile brighter than ever before. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Enjoy a Perfectly Straight Smile At Last with the Help of Invisalign in Brookline

October 25, 2013

Dr. Sasson Boston orthodonticsA beautiful smile can be a valuable tool. Whether you’re leading a big presentation at work or simply meeting friends for a night on the town, perfectly white, straight teeth showcase all kinds of positive attributes to those around you, including confidence, youth, vitality, success, and much more. But what can you do if you weren’t blessed with a naturally flawless appearance? The last thing professional adults want is to spend multiple years suffering with traditional metal braces. Here at Boston Smile Center in Brookline, we’re happy to share some good news with you: you don’t have to! Dr. Alan Sasson offers Invisalign as an adult orthodontics option that simplifies the straightening process and keeps it practically unnoticeable, allowing you to correct your smile without having to sacrifice your self-confidence in the process!

How does Invisalign work?

It’s simple enough – a set of clear aligners will be specifically created for you by the Invisalign lab, with each one representing a different stage of your teeth as they move into their ideal alignment. All you have to do is wear each one for the appropriate amount of time before moving to the next in the series. With a brief check-up every four to six weeks so that we can ensure that you’re making progress, you’ll have a beautifully straight smile before you know!

Invisalign has countless benefits over traditional orthodontic methods. They’re clear and removable, meaning that you won’t have to make any inconvenient changes to your diet or oral hygiene routine. Better yet, most Invisalign cases are finished after only 12 to 18 months, which is a significantly briefer treatment time than the multiple years metal braces usually require.

Contact our Brookline office today to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson. We’ll be sure to leave your teeth feeling happier and healthier than ever before!

Bottled Water and Your Kids’ Fluoride

July 24, 2013

shutterstock_29235628Is it safe for my child to drink tap water in Brookline, Massachusetts?

The short answer is yes. Locally fluoridated tap water is actually beneficial to the health of your child’s teeth, in fact many children today drink so much more bottled water than  fluoridated tap water that it may be a concern. Even thought they get fluoride from other sources like tooth paste it may still be an issue. A rich and steady source, like the water they drink all the time, to help strengthen the enamel and protect their teeth from decay may be lacking. Most bottled water has minimal to no fluoride added by the manufacturer. Furthermore, the FDA does not monitor or regulate the amount of fluoride in bottled water as it does in municipal tap water. Fluoride in tap water is mandated to have a concentration of 1 part per million (ppm).

Below is a list of some popular brands of bottled water and the amount of fluoride contained. I would recommend that you contact the company of the bottled water you buy to inquire as to the level of fluoride it contains. Ideally bottling your tap or filtered water at home would be best, providing your tap water is fluoridated.

  • Aquafina 0.05 ppm
  • Calistoga 0.07 ppm
  • Dasani 0.07 ppm
  •  Evian 0.10 ppm
  • Perrier 0.30 ppm
  • Poland Spring 0.10 ppm

At Boston Smile Center we primarily treat adults. However from time to time we post family dental related issues that are important to your lives. For more about my practice visit our services page today!

Enhance Your Smile and Rejuvenate Your Self-Confidence with Botox and Dermal Fillers in Brookline, MA

May 28, 2013

10733988When people think of services a dentist can provide them with, they probably focus on problems that directly affect the teeth and gums – crown, fillings, tooth restorations, periodontal therapy, and more. What would you say, though, to a professional who has the skills necessary to help you improve not only your teeth, but the look of your entire face as well, resulting in a beautiful, well-rounded look? Look no further than Boston Smile Center! Dr. Sasson has been clinically trained and certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, meaning that he is one of the few dentists in the Boston area who offers both Botox and dermal fillers to patients from all walks of life. Don’t complicate your smile makeover by scheduling appointments at several different offices – instead, simplify your care to just our Brookline office and transform both your skin and your smile into the beautiful, complete look you deserve.

Botox

If you’ve noticed unsightly wrinkles around the eyes, brow, or forehead (sometimes referred to as ‘frown lines’), Botox could be the perfect treatment for you! The treatment works by reducing your muscle activity in these areas, resulting in a much smoother, more youthful experience. A Botox procedure takes only minutes to complete, requires no anesthesia, and the effects can last up to half a year – sometimes even longer!

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to treat lines, folds, and sagging around the mouth, otherwise known as the ‘laugh lines.’ Using this method, Dr. Sasson fills wrinkles with a type of special gel, adding beautiful volume to the lips. The results can last up to a year, and like Botox, can be completed in only a matter of minutes with a few comfortable injections.

Contact our Brookline, MA office today with any questions you have about Botox and dermal fillers, or if you’re ready to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson. Our goal at Boston Smile Center is to provide you with thorough, compassionate dental care that provides you with the beautiful smile of your dreams.
