Extra Protection for Your Smile with Mercury-Free Composite Fillings from Boston Smile Center & Laser Dentistry

April 27, 2012

For more than 100 years, dentists have relied on amalgam fillings to help patients combat tooth decay. Recently, though, doctors have begun moving away from amalgams and towards mercury-free composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings. There are at least four reasons for his.

 

  • They offer superior protection
  • They conserve natural tooth structure
  • They last as long as amalgam fillings
  • They match the color of your smile

If you know you need fillings, consider turning to Boston Smile Center & Laser Dentistry for help. Helping you achieve your healthiest, most beautiful smile possible is our commitment to you.

Call our Brookline, MA office today if you’d like to schedule an appointment with us. During your appointment, Dr. Sasson will thoroughly inspect your smile and explain how your treatment will proceed. If you have any questions at all about how composite fillings work and what your procedure will be like, don’t hesitate to ask. Our hope is that no patient would leave our office with an unanswered question on their mind.

Stay On Top of Your Oral Health with Regular Visits and Oral Cancer Screenings

No matter what time of the year it is, it’s always a great time to schedule your next regular dental visit. But because April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, there’s no better time than now if you haven’t come to our Brookline dental office yet for an appointment.

During your appointment, Dr. Sasson can talk with you about how your smile is doing and conduct a thorough oral exam, complete with oral cancer screening. This last step—the oral cancer screening—is one of the most important aspects of any dental appointment.

Why?

Because an oral cancer screening could save your life. Many cases of oral cancer aren’t detected until the disease is already in its later stages, when it’s harder to treat. Which is why Dr. Sasson completes an oral cancer screening as part of every regular exam—because catching it early could save your life.

This holds true even if you don’t have any of the risk factors commonly associated with oral cancer. Maybe you’ve never smoked or used another tobacco product in your life, and maybe you rarely if ever drink alcohol. That’s no guarantee. An estimated 25% of oral cancers occur in patients who have no risk factors at all.

Do you want to find out more about oral cancer and how it can be found and treated? Dr. Sasson would be happy to answer any questions you might have, especially during Oral Cancer Awareness Month. Give our Brookline dental office a call today to schedule you appointment.

Keep Smiling!

That unsightly white discoloration on your teeth’s surface results from a loss of calcium in the enamel. Wearing orthodontic braces as a child is the most common cause of this condition.. However, the spots also come from the consumption of lots of acidic foods and drinks as a youngster. Besides making a smile unattractive, the spots make teeth sensitive and prone to further decay. There is now great news for people who would love to rid their smiles of these unsightly spots. Icon is a revolutionary new technology that builds up demineralized enamel and permanently restores teeth to the uniform color of the surrounding enamel. Icon makes the spots completely disappear. The treatment is quick, easy and affordable. NO SHOTS OR DRILLING NEEDED!

You Are Never Too Old For Orthodontics!

People at all ages want to look and feel their best. A big, bright, and beautiful smile with straight teeth leads the way to looking your best.

Every day more adults want straighter and whiter teeth. In fact, 33% more adults are starting orthodontic treatment than they did just 10 years ago. You are never too old to appreciate the benefits of a healthy and beautiful smile.  Having straight teeth will also ensure a healthier mouth because they are easier to keep clean.  And, a healthy mouth is key to a healthy body. Dr. Sasson at Boston Smile Center can help.  Watch for more about this in an upcoming blog.

Many modern orthodontic options offer greater benefits over older traditional systems. They:

  • Result in a wider and more natural looking smile.
  • Offer greater comfort because they use gentle forces.
  • Are easier to keep clean.
  • Offer better results in less time.
  • Are either removable, while some are clear, and others are invisible.

Because everyone’s needs and goals are unique, at Boston Smile Center we have carefully selected three great systems:

  • Damon Orthodontics with clear brackets.
  • STB Social-6 invisible braces.
  • Invisalign Clear Aligners for both adults and teens.

For more information visit the web site under Adult Orthodontics. Or, better yet, schedule an appointment with us to see what option is best for you.
