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!

Brookline Patients Can Enjoy a Revitalized Appearance at Last with the Help of Botox and Dermal Fillers

October 18, 2013

Copy of woman32cA beautiful smile is a wonderful attribute on its own, but for many patients, sagging skin, wrinkles, and other facial flaws can tend to hinder its effect. While this may seem like a cosmetic problem that you need to take to someone other than a dentist, our team here at Boston Smile Center is happy to inform you that that’s not the case! Dr. Alan Sasson has been clinically trained and certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, which allows him to offer the rejuvenating effects of Botox and dermal fillers to his patients. Don’t let the look of your face keep you from experiencing life to the fullest – instead, treat both your teeth and your lines at our Brookline office.

Botox

For patients who’ve experienced wrinkles across their forehead or around their eyes, these are commonly referred to as ‘frown lines,’ and Botox is a great solution if you’re looking to get rid of them! Once you’ve received the treatment, muscle activity in the specific areas you’d like affected will cease, resulting in a much more youthful appearance. Better yet, the procedure only takes a few minutes and required no anesthesia! You’re free to enjoy the effects for at least half a year, at which point you’ll need to return to our office for a follow-up appointment.

Dermal Fillers

On the other hand, ‘laugh lines’ can sometimes occur in the form of folds and sagging around the mouth. Dental fillers tend to treat these areas effectively! Your lines will be filled with a special gel by Dr. Sasson, adding volume to your skin and plumping out any unpleasant areas. These results can last up to a year and only take a couple of minutes to receive. What could be simpler?

Contact our Brookline office today to schedule a FREE consultation! Dr. Sasson can’t wait to give you a reason to smile with his transformative treatments and comfortable dental care.

We’ll also provide a syringe of prescription-strength whitening gel.

Achieve a Smile That’s Finally Pain-Free with Root Canal Therapy at Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA

August 15, 2013

root_canal2Out of all the dental problems that a person can experience over their lifetime, “root canal” is often the phrase that strikes the most fear into patients’ hearts. Over time, root canal treatment has inexplicably garnered a reputation for being an invasive and outright unpleasant procedure – so much so that many people willingly avoid the process. Here at Boston Smile Center, Dr. Sasson and his team want to be the first ones to assure you that root canal therapy is a perfectly reasonable and comfortable procedure that can restore health and form to teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Its success rate is through the roof, too!

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs that could indicate the need for root canal therapy include:

  • Severe pain that occurs when chewing or applying pressure to one or more teeth
  • Gums that look tender, red, or swollen
  • Excessive sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • A sudden discoloration (usually darkening) of a tooth

What happens during root canal therapy?

First, Dr. Sasson will create a small opening in the affected tooth in order to clean it thoroughly of all the bacteria and diseased pulp and then fill it with a biologically inert substance. Once this is complete, he and his team will seal the area to protect it from further threats of infection. In most cases, a custom-made crown is placed as well in order to restore the tooth’s full form. With today’s advanced technology and techniques, many patients find root canal therapy so comfortable that they even doze off!

Contact The Boston Smile Center today to schedule your FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson. Our team works hard to ensure that all our patients feel comfortable and cared for when they visit our Brookline office, and it shows!

Bolster Your Oral Health for the Better with Dental Implants from Dr. Sasson

August 7, 2013

dental implantLosing one or more teeth to damage or decay can be a devastating blow, both to your overall health and your self-confidence. Many people with unsightly gaps in their smile find it hard to even leave their home, much less interact with their friends and coworkers without feeling embarrassment or shame. Even worse, losing a pearly white can lead to additional dental problems in the future if left untreated, including an increased risk of periodontal disease, misalignments as the remaining teeth reposition in order to fill the space, and even additional tooth loss. Of course, you may consider bridges or dentures as a potential solution, but these restorations can feel lacking and unnatural in some cases, leaving patients dissatisfied.  What can be done? Thankfully, Dr. Sasson offers the answer at his Brookline, MA office: dental implants. With our team’s warm, thorough help, you’ll be enjoying a revitalized smile in no time!

How does the dental implants process work?

The dental implants procedure essentially consists of two major steps – the implantation and the restoration. First, after Dr. Sasson has carefully examined your teeth and gums in order to ensure you’re a viable candidate for a dental implant, he will place a small titanium post securely within your gap. Then, once an appropriate amount of time has passed for this post to fuse successfully with your soft tissue, you’ll come back to the office for your beautiful, new custom-made restoration to be placed atop it, completing your look. Dental implants have countless benefits, including stability, beauty, and even optimal health – it’s the only tooth replacement method that actually stabilizes and even regenerates bone tissue in the jaw!

Unlike many dentists who are only able to perform the restoration process, Dr. Sasson has 25 years of experience of an implant dentist, and he’ll be more than happy to walk you through every single step of the process himself, allowing you to avoid the messy situation of having to keep appointments with several practices.

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!

Brookline Patients Can Have a Smile That Shines Again with White Spot Removal

July 11, 2013

Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed ugly white spots on your front teeth? While there’s no real danger or damage associated with these marks, they can be a real eyesore, not to mention an embarrassing flaw on a smile you may have worked hard to perfect. Thankfully, Dr. Alan Sasson has seen this problem before many times, and he has the perfect solution to correct them – no pain required! Visit Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA to improve your pearly whites and discover the beautiful look you deserve at last with the help of white spot removal.

What exactly causes those strange white spots?

In most cases, white spots occur as a result of calcium loss from the enamel, which can happen due to wearing braces when you’re child or simply by eating too many foods or drinks that are high in acids. While they don’t signify any sort of dangerous oral health condition, they do make the tooth more sensitive and can leave it susceptible to decay.

How can you help me?

Dr. Sasson is happy to offer frustrated patients the help of Icon. Icon is an incredible new technology that rebuilds a tooth’s enamel on the service and restores the correct color to even the most stubborn spots. You don’t even need any scary shots of invasive drilling or cutting – instead, the process is clean, quick, and provides wonderfully dramatic results!

You don’t have to settle for a smile that’s lackluster – instead, achieve the stellar look you’ve truly always wanted with help from the accomplished team at Boston Smile Center! We’re committed to providing patients with top-notch dental care that goes above and beyond their expectations. Contact our Brookline office to schedule your FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson.
