Erase Any Unsightly Gaps in Your Smile with Partials and Dentures from Dr. Sasson

June 27, 2013

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Alan Sasson @ 9:00 pm

Out of all the dental problems that can plague a person over their lifetime, missing teeth is almost certainly one of the worst. Having unsightly gaps in your smile is incredibly embarrassing both in professional and social settings, keeping you from enjoying yourself to the fullest. Even worse, if left untreated, it can cause the other teeth in your mouth to begin shifting and twisting in order to fill the empty space, resulting in a heightened risk of gum disease and additional tooth loss. Thankfully, Dr. Sasson strongly believes in providing every patient with the whole, healthy smile they deserve; that’s why he offers a variety of tooth replacement options for patients of all walks of life, including dentures and partials. If ease and affordability are important to you when it comes to your restorative dental work, contact Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA to learn more about this transformative technique!

Partials

If you’re only missing a couple of teeth in different areas in your mouth, a partial could be the perfect solution! The appliance is like a puzzle piece – we’ll custom create it so that it fits in perfectly with your remaining teeth. Secured with clips and brackets, a partial can be removed for easy cleaning; plus, they look completely natural, making it hard for others to tell it’s even there at all.

Dentures

A full denture is used to replace a complete row of teeth, whether it’s at the top of your mouth, the bottom, or even both. It stays in place with natural suction, as well as dental adhesive in some cases. Again, the piece is permanent, making it much more comfortable to sleep and practice oral hygiene.

Dr. Sasson can also provide implant-supported dentures, which adds an extra layer of stability and security to your new smile.

Don’t settle for a look that’s lacking! Instead, regain a full, healthy smile with the help of our excellent team at Boston Smile Center! Contact our Brookline office to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson.

Experience Healthy Gums at Last with Laser Periodontal Therapy from Dr. Sasson

Did you know that nearly three out of four Americans is currently suffering from one of the stages of gum disease? That’s a large percentage, and one that Dr. Sasson takes very seriously at his Brookline, MA dental office. He and his staff also understand that a  very, very small number of those patients actively seek out treatment, whether due to not knowing they have the disease in the first simple or instead dreading the invasive and uncomfortable surgery that may be used during their treatment. That’s why our team at Boston Smile Center now offers Laser Periodontal Therapy™, a revolutionary method for treating infected gums – no blood, discomfort, or fear required!

Protect Your Smile and Your Self-Confidence

In the past, dentists used scalpels and sutures to effectively carry out surgery on the gums – an unsettling experience in many patients’ eyes, for sure. With the help of Laser Periodontal Therapy™, these tools are things of the past, though. Instead, Dr. Sasson removes infection in the pockets between the teeth and gums with the help of a dental laser, which provides a much more comfortable experience. Better yet, the laser even seals the newly disinfected site with a blood clot, which eliminates the need for messy stitches.

Laser Periodontal Therapy™ also allows dentists to preserve much more of your healthy bone and tissue structure, making it one of the most conservative procedures available. Studies have even shown that it can regenerate disease root surfaces and reconnect tissues by enlisting your own body’s healing mechanisms!

If you think you may be suffering from gum disease, contact Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA today to schedule your FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson. Our team is dedicated to providing patients with comprehensive and personalized dental care that always puts their comfort first. Don’t let infection sneak up on you – instead, face it head-on with our help!

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.

Keep Your Teeth Healthy and Happy with Root Canal Therapy from Dr. Sasson

March 6, 2013

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Alan Sasson @ 10:36 pm

tooth painOut of all the dental procedures a person can undergo, “root canal” always seems to be the phrase that strikes the most fear in patients’ hearts. While it may be true that in the past, root canal therapy was a painful procedure to undergo, its bad reputation is completely unwarranted today, what with the help of advanced anesthesia and technology options.  In fact, the procedure can rescue severely injured or decayed teeth that are facing extraction and restore them to full functionality! Here at Boston Smile Center, Dr. Sasson understands how important it is for patients to retain their natural pearly whites; that’s why he offers root canal therapy to patients at his Brookline, MA office. With the help of root canal therapy, your smile will stay safe and whole for years to come!

One procedure, several lasting benefits

So what exactly happens during root canal therapy? It’s simple enough – we simply clean bacteria and pulp out of the diseased canals within the affected tooth, seal the area so that further infection can’t reach it, and then, if necessary, restore the tooth with a custom-made crown. By the time Dr. Sasson is done, you won’t even be able to tell there was anything wrong with the tooth in the first place!

Okay, but it will hurt?

Our Brookline office hears this question from patients all the time. We have good news for you – most people who undergo root canal therapy report that the procedure hurts no more than a common filling. Better yet, root canal therapy has an incredibly high success rate, and many teeth that have undergone the treatment go on to last a lifetime.

Don’t let an injured or diseased tooth damage your smile and put a damper on your day – Dr. Sasson and his accomplished staff want to restore much-needed form and function to your mouth! Here at Boston Smile Center, we’re known for comprehensive, compassionate care that puts your unique needs first each and every time you come in.

Make Your Smile Shine with Porcelain Veneers

February 7, 2013

Filed under: Boston Dentist — Tags: , , , , — Dr. Alan Sasson @ 7:55 pm

A beautiful smile can go a long way towards helping your confidence. Straight, white teeth suggest youth, success, and vitality to those around you – but as an adult, it can feel like you’ve missed your chance to undergo treatments like braces and teeth whitening, or maybe you just don’t have the time to wait on results to gradually appear. Here at Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA, we understand the pressures and expectations of your daily life. Dental care should accommodate your needs, not the other way around. That’s why Dr. Sasson is happy to offer you the option of porcelain veneers, a cosmetic treatment that can cover up stains, cracks, chips, or even stubborn misalignments.  With porcelain veneers, you’ll have a four-star smile you can’t wait from sharing with the world!

What are porcelain veneers, exactly?

Porcelain veneers are a wafer-thin piece of porcelain that, in most cases, is fitted in the “smile zone” – the teeth people always see when you smile.  They aren’t one-size-fits-all, though; your veneers will be crafted so as to enhance your own unique smile. Using his patented Ceramel® technique, Dr. Sasson designs veneers that mimic the translucency, color, and shape of beautiful, natural teeth. With SmileMagic software, you can see how your new smile will look before treatment even begins!

Porcelain veneers are also:

  • Virtually undetectable by those around you
  • Resilient to nearly all foods and drinks ingested on a daily basis
  • Available after only two appointments, including a in-depth consultation that addresses your wishes concerning the look of your new veneers, and a personalized fitting

The beautiful look of white and straight teeth doesn’t have to feel out of reach – with Dr. Sasson and his team on your side, you’ll have the smile you deserve before you know it with the help of porcelain veneers. Call Boston Smile Center today to schedule your FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson.

Here in Brookline, MA, we see several patients who are dreaming of beautiful, white teeth – and it’s not hard to understand why. White teeth can suggest youth, charisma, attractiveness, wealth, and a variety of other positive attributes to people you meet before you even speak. Talk about a good first impression! But of course, that dream isn’t always possible, whether because of age, medication, or simply because you like to have a cup of coffee in the morning. At Boston Smile Center, we want to make your smile shine no matter what, which is why we offer teeth whitening as a treatment option.  As a leading cosmetic dentist, Dr. Sasson can offer you several methods that will result in a brand-new, glowing look.

In-Office Whitening

With the help of the patented Zoom! Teeth whitening system, we’ll treat you here in the office. After only around an hour, your teeth can be lightened up to ten shades, with minimal sensitivity afterwards. We’ll also provide you with a teeth whitening kit to take home, for results that are both beautiful and long-lasting.

Customized Take-Home Whitening

If you’d prefer to whiten your teeth at home, we can provide you with a choice of a thirty-minute system that will perfectly fit both your routine and your mouth. When choosing this option, Dr. Sasson will create a customized tray that fits to the contours of your mouth specifically, and in addition, you’ll be given prescription-strength teeth whitening gel. Use these tools daily and you’ll see significant results in no time.

Take Home Whitening Tray

For those of you with little time and a tight budget, you can still undergo teeth whitening! Although Trèswhite disposable trays aren’t customized to fit your mouth, they still produce stronger results than over-the-counter brands will. Simply wear the tray for sixty minutes a day and you’ll see whiter teeth in the mirror before you know it!

Are you ready to pursue your dream of a whiter smile? Let us help you look your best, here at Boston Smile Center. Call us today to schedule your FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson, or feel free to peruse our website to learn about other dental procedures we can offer you.

Keep Your Gums Happy with Laser Periodontal Therapy™ in Brookline, MA

January 22, 2013

Filed under: Boston Dentist — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Alan Sasson @ 4:50 pm

In an earlier blog post, we discussed the dangers of gum disease, as well as what symptoms and risk factors you should be aware of when going through your daily oral health routines. If you’ve just discovered that you’re suffering from the disease, the idea of pursuing treatment can make you anxious. After all, you might remember that dentists used to get rid of infected tissue by cutting it out with sharp tools – a terrifying thought, especially if you’re suffering from tenderness and pain already. At Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA, we don’t want you to have to worry about messy consequences like blood and stitches.  You deserve treatment that is both quick and effective, while still holding your comfort as a top priority. That’s why Dr. Sasson is happy to offer Laser Periodontal Therapy™ to his patients. With Laser Periodontal Therapy™, your gums will be cared for much faster, no cutting, scalping, or stitching required!

A Pain-Free Alternative to Conventional Surgery

The way it works is simple – instead of using a scalpel, Laser Periodontal Therapy™ employs a dental laser that removes infection in the spaces between your teeth and your gums. The laser also seals each new, healthy site with a clot, altogether eliminating the need for pesky stitches, as well as leading to a quicker healing time.

There are several benefits to using Laser Periodontal Therapy™ besides the obvious ones – for instance, the treatment is much more conservative than traditional surgery, meaning that we won’t have to compromise your teeth in order to ensure your gums are healthy. In addition, Laser Periodontal Therapy™ has also been proven through several studies to not only heal tissue, but also to reconnect it.  Best of all, there’s no downtime required after the procedure takes place. You’ll be able to return to work, drive yourself home, or even go to lunch once you’re finished!

Our team wants to give you a reason to smile, here at Boston Smile Center. Call us today to schedule your FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson, or to learn more about Laser Periodontal Therapy™. Our Brookline dental office is easily accessible from Boston, Brighton, Cambridge, and Newton as well.

Keep Your Smile Steady with Implant-Supported Dentures

January 17, 2013

Filed under: Boston Dentist,Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , — Dr. Alan Sasson @ 7:52 pm

In our last blog post, we discussed the benefits of pursuing dentures or partials to cover up embarrassing gaps in your smile. But what if you’re looking for a more secure solution? While dentures usually stay in place with either clips or natural suction, they can sometimes slip when eating or speaking, which could lead to embarrassing situations. In addition, there’s one issue that dentures or partials won’t be able to solve: bone loss in your jaw. At Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA, your specific needs are important to us, and that’s why, in place of traditional dentures and partials, Dr. Sasson can now offer you implant-supported dentures, a new procedure that will be sure to put a smile on your face.

How are implant-supported dentures different?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are anchored to your jawbone. After a brief surgery where they’ll be put into place, your dentures will be attached to them, resulting in a firm and comfortable fit.

There are several benefits to choosing implant-supported dentures, such as:

  • The surgically placed implants will allows remaining bone in the gums to survive, and they can even help new bone tissue to grow.
  • Many of the pressure points traditional dentures rub against are relieved.
  • Barely any food choices will be off-limits.
  • You won’t have to feel embarrassed about your denture slipping while speaking or eating. You can live life worry-free!

Do implant-supported dentures sound like the right choice for you? You can learn more about dental implants here, and feel free to peruse our website for more information about the other restorative dentistry techniques we can offer you. Feel free to call Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA if you have any questions, or if you’re ready to schedule your FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson today.
