See Your Smile before It’s Done

November 5, 2012

One of the most nerve-wracking aspects of cosmetic and restorative dentistry is committing to a plan without knowing what the results will look like. It’s at times like these when you might think to yourself, “If only I could see into the future.”

At Boston Smile Center, we may not have mastered time travel, but we do have a great service that can help you see what your finished smile will look like before your treatment even begins—it’s called SmileMagic.

What Is SmileMagic?

SmileMagic uses digital imaging to let our specially trained imaging technician manipulate a current photo of you to reflect what your smile will look like when your treatment is complete. The technician will work from very specific instructions outlined by Dr. Sasson himself and will serve as an accurate example of what you can expect to see weeks or months down the road.

Why do we offer this service?

Because we understand that changing your smile can feel like changing your identity, and we want the experience to be as stress-free as possible.

Have you been considering a major change to your smile? Let Dr. Sasson of Boston Smile Center show you what he can achieve. Using SmileMagic, we can give you a peek at your future to help you make a more informed treatment decision.

Call us today to schedule a FREE consultation. Our Brookline dental office is easily accessible from Boston, Brighton, Cambridge, and Newton and provides excellent, patient-focused care.

The Benefits of Laser Dentistry

August 31, 2012

One goal of dentists like Dr. Sasson is providing care that’s more comfortable and more precise. At Boston Smile Center, one way we’re doing that is through laser dentistry. With laser dentistry, Dr. Sasson can use the FDA-approved Waterlase Dental Laser to deliver amazing periodontal care for your unhealthy gums. But periodontal care is just one use for laser dentistry. Others include:

 

  • Preparing some types of cavities for treatment
  • Relieving sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Performing gum recontouring to correct an uneven gum line
  • Treating cold sores

In each case, patients can look forward to care that’s more comfortable, more precise, and requires a much shorter recovery period. In fact, thanks to laser dentistry, patients can get the care they need without requiring stitches. That’s because our Brookline office’s laser promotes healing as it works, letting you get back to your normal schedule much sooner.

Laser dentistry can’t be used for every kind of service, though. That’s why, if you’re hoping laser dentistry can help you, we invite you to call Boston Smile Center for a visit with us. During your FREE consultation appointment, Dr. Sasson can take a thorough look at your teeth and gums to find out what kind of care you need. Then, once we know more, we can recommend a specific treatment plan to help you out. That treatment may involve laser dentistry, or it may involve something else completely.

Call us today to reserve a FREE consultation. We look forward to hearing from you!

Your Smile and Your Overall Health

July 6, 2012

When you think about your smile, do you ever consider what effect it might have on your overall health? If you don’t, don’t worry. It’s normal to think of your smile and your overall health as being completely separate.

But the truth is, the human body is much more interconnected than that. When your oral health is allowed to suffer, your overall health can suffer too. In recent medical studies, periodontal disease (also known as gum disease) has been linked with a wide range of health conditions, including:

  • Heart disease
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Osteoporosis
  • Diabetes complications
  • Preterm birth, and more

All of which is why regular visits to Dr. Sasson’s Boston dental office are so important. Through regular dental exams and cleanings, Dr. Sasson and the rest of our Boston team, we can help maintain a healthy smile that will support your overall wellbeing.

How often should you visit? The answer to that question is different for every patient, but in general, we recommend that patients see us twice a year, or at least once every six months.

Has it been longer than that since your last visit? Then why not call us today? At Boston Smile Center & Laser Dentistry, Dr. Sasson and his team are dedicated to friendly, helpful service that will improve your oral health, your general wellbeing, and your quality of life.

We look forward to helping you!

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.

To find out more about composite fillings and the many benefits they offer, visit our mercury-free fillings page. And if you’re ready to schedule your consultation visit, go ahead and give us a call today. Our Brookline office is ready to help you smile again!

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

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , — Dr. Alan Sasson @ 7:56 pm

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.
