When we take proper care of our smiles, we help protect them from common oral health issues, including tooth decay and gum disease. In order to safeguard the smile and avoid the need for extensive treatments, you need to practice good oral hygiene. In today’s blog, we’re going to discuss what our Brighton, MA, patients can do to enjoy good oral hygiene!

What Is A Dental Emergency?
What constitutes a dental emergency? When should you see your dentist?

How Do Dental Implants Help Preserve Facial Structure?
When we talk about implant dentistry, we often focus on the obvious benefits: replacing your missing teeth and improving your smile’s appearance. But what about the rest of your face? Did you know that losing one or more teeth could lead to an aged appearance? In today’s blog, we’re going to talk about how implant dentistry helps preserve facial structure for Brighton, MA, residents suffering from tooth loss.
Using Invisalign® Aligners To Correct Misalignment
When we have teeth that crowd, overlap, or sit crooked in our smiles, not only does the appearance of our smile suffer, but our overall oral health will as well. Correcting these issues with orthodontics means helping our Brighton, MA, patients enjoy healthier and more beautiful smiles. Instead of using metal braces, we often help our patients by prescribing Invisalign® aligners.
Does Your Smile Need A Dental Bridge?
If you have between one and three missing teeth in a row, then yes, your smile may benefit from a dental bridge. Designed to address minor tooth loss, a custom-made bridge offers a lifelike and dependable solution for the gaps in your smile. In today’s blog, we’re talking about how we create them and when our Brighton, MA, patients should consider a dental prosthetic.
Making Your Smile Strong And Beautiful With Crowns
Our teeth are coated in a very strong material known as tooth enamel. However, despite this our teeth may still become chipped, broken, or develop tooth decay or infection. When teeth become damaged and the protective tooth enamel is compromised, then we may offer our Brighton, MA, patients a lifelike and strong dental crown. How do we restore the health and beauty of smiles with these custom restorations?
The Benefits Of Metal-Free Fillings
For many years, the only option for addressing tooth decay and preventing infection involved placing a metal filling. While effective, these restorations had a number of drawbacks. Fortunately, we offer our Brighton, MA, patients an alternative, one that looks natural and is safe for patients of all ages. What benefits will our metal-free fillings provide?
The Transformative Potential Of Porcelain Veneers
Veneers differ from our other cosmetic treatments for a number of reasons. For one, they address a wide array of cosmetic and restorative concerns, while also offering a lifelike appearance. In today’s blog, your Brighton, MA, dentist explains the transformative potential of porcelain veneers, and looks at how we design and create them.
Don’t Fear The Root Canal
When we talk about root canals, we find many people apprehensive about the procedure. Years of misinformation and jokes have left this common endodontic procedure with an undeserved reputation. In fact, root canal procedures are comfortable and many patients find them comparable to receiving a simple dental filling. In today’s blog, we’re explaining why residents of Brighton, MA, shouldn’t fear the root canal!
