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

June 3, 2013

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!

Enhance Your Smile and Rejuvenate Your Self-Confidence with Botox and Dermal Fillers in Brookline, MA

May 28, 2013

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.

Regain Your Smile and Your Self-Confidence with a Variety of Tooth Replacement Options from Dr. Sasson

April 16, 2013

dental_implantsLosing one or more teeth can be a devastating blow, both to your oral health and your confidence. When you have unsightly gaps in your smile, it can be hard to even get out of bed, not to mention interact with your peers for fear of embarrassment or ridicule. Worse, if left untreated, those gaps can cause your other teeth to start to shift so as to fill the space, resulting in an increased risk of periodontal disease, bite collapse, and additional tooth loss. Thankfully, Dr. Sasson and his dedicated staff have a variety of tooth replacement options available to you at Boston Smile Center. How are you supposed to know which solution would best fit your unique needs, though? Do you find stability and sturdiness most important? The speed of the treatment? Affordability? We want you to be well-informed of all the procedures and services available to you before you make a decision; that’s why below, we’ve provided some descriptions of our restorative services. Please contact our Brookline office directly if you’d like to learn more!

Dental Implants

In most cases, we will suggest dental implants as the ideal option for patients who’ve lost one or more teeth. Dental implants provide a stable, sturdy, and practically seamless solution to unsightly gaps. Better yet, they’re the only tooth replacement option that replicates the root of the tooth as well as the crown, which helps keep the jawbone healthy and full. Dr. Sasson can perform every stage of the treatment right here in his Brookline office, from the placement of the implant to the custom restoration.

Additionally, dental implants can be used in conjunction with crown and bridges and dentures in order to add extra support.

Crown and Bridge

If you’re looking for the stability of dental implants but aren’t willing to wait the extended amount of time it will take for that treatment to be completed, crown and bridge may be a restorative solution that’s more suited to your needs. A bridge is a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) that can be attached in a gap between natural teeth that have been prepared with crowns.

Dentures and Partials

Dentures and partials offer both a convenient and affordable tooth replacement option. Dr. Sasson will have the piece custom-made to fit your specific needs, and it stays in place with the help of clips and natural suction. Dentures and partials are removable, making cleaning much more easy!

If you have any questions about our tooth replacement options, or if you’re ready to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson, please call our Brookline office today. We can’t wait to give you a reason to smile!

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

March 6, 2013

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.

Straighten Your Smile Stress-Free with Invisalign in Brookline, MA

February 21, 2013

invisaligntrioIf you’re an adult with gaps or misalignments hindering their oral health, it can seem like only an impossible dream to find a solution that can help you achieve a perfectly straight smile. There are always traditional metal braces, sure, but what about that polished, professional image you’ve worked so hard to establish over time? You don’t deserve to have it damaged by a look that’ll make you feel like you’re back in junior high. Here at Boston Smile Center, we understand your hesitation, and we want to be the ones who provide you with an easy, effective solution. That’s why Dr. Sasson is happy to offer you Invisalign as a cosmetic option at his Brookline, MA office. With the help of Invisalign, you’ll soon have a beautiful, smile straight you won’t be able to help from showing off!

Beautiful Benefits, One Simple Solution

The procedure for Invisalign is simple enough – you’ll be provided with a set of custom-made, clear aligners. These will be made by the Invisalign lab after we’ve taken detailed impressions of your teeth, and they’ll each represent a different stage of your teeth as they move into their ideal alignment. There are no uncomfortable wires, no ugly brackets, and no pain with Invisalign – you simply wear each aligner for around two weeks and then switch to the next one. They can easily be removed when you eat, brush, or floss, meaning that neither your eating habits or your oral hygiene routine have to be altered in any way. Better yet, if you’ve got a big event like a wedding or graduation coming up where you want to look your absolute best, simply leave out the aligner while you’re there and slip it back in when you’re done. It really is that simple.

There’s no tightening or adjustments with Invisalign, either – you’ll only need to come in every four-six weeks so that Dr. Sasson can check to make sure your teeth are moving properly. Invisalign will take around 12-18 months to complete your treatment. In many cases, this is a much shorter time than traditional braces take, which often need to stay on for two years or more.

Are you ready to finally have the straighter smile you’ve always dreamed of? Invisalign can treat your teeth, improve your self-confidence, and more. Call Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA today to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson.

Treat Your Teeth Well with Mercury-Free Fillings from Dr. Sasson

February 14, 2013

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems patients face on a regular basis, and for over 100 years, dentists have been treating them by providing amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings, which are created by combining elemental mercury, silver, tin, and copper, are a tried-and-true method for repairing the destruction left by decay; they can withstand a lot of pressure, and tend to last for a long time. But they also have some decidedly negative qualities, the worst concerning their cosmetic nature. The fillings can be painfully obvious to those around you if they’re in your front teeth, causing you potential embarrassment. There’s also the threat of a health hazard, especially concerning the mercury used.  Never fear – while the ADA’s official stance is that the mercury levels in amalgam fillings are safe, Dr. Sasson and his excellent team don’t feel comfortable taking any chances with your health. That’s why we’re happy to offer you mercury-free fillings here at Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA.

Keep Your Smile Safe, Stable, and Stunning

Instead of the material found in amalgam fillings, our mercury-free fillings are made of safe, durable composite resin and beautiful dental porcelain. Combined, you’ll  have a stunning outcome that traditional fillings can’t offer – a seamless new look that hides all evidence of dental treatment and keeps your smile whole and happy. For patients who need their cavities treated but that don’t want to sacrifice their polished professional image to do so, mercury-free fillings are a perfect choice.

Other benefits of mercury-free fillings include:

  • They’re bonded directly to teeth with adhesive, which strengthens the tooth for a significant amount of time (often 7-10 years!) without needing to be fixed or replaced.
  • Amalgam fillings often are cracked or bend through biting or chewing over time, allowing bacteria and infection to sneak into the tooth; our mercury-free fillings don’t wear down or change shape, keeping your teeth completely protected.
  • We’re committed to practicing conservative dentistry, meaning that during procedures, we want to preserve as much of your natural teeth as possible. Mercury-free fillings allow us to accomplish this by requiring much less reduction of the affected tooth than amalgam fillings.

If you’ve already had traditional fillings placed and would like to replace them with mercury-free fillings, we’re happy to do that for you as well. Don’t let cavities get out of control – Dr. Sasson and his team are eager to provide you with expert, personalized care that sends you off with a smile. 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 today.

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.

Sport a New, Even-Colored Smile with White Spot Removal from Dr. Sasson

February 5, 2013

You’ve straightened your smile, polished it, kept it healthy – but what about those ugly white spots that you can’t seem to get rid of, no matter how much you brush? White discoloration is a common problem, not to mention a frustrating one. They normally form because of calcium loss in the enamel of your teeth, which can be caused by eating foods and drinks high in acid as a child or even by wearing orthodontic braces when you were a teenager. Here at Boston Smile Center, our team definitely doesn’t think you should be punished with unsightly spots simply because you wanted to better your smile. You deserve flawless, even-colored teeth that you’ll be proud to share with the world around you. That’s why Dr. Sasson and his team are happy to offer white spot removal as one of several cosmetic procedures in Brookline, MA.

Keep Your Smile Stunning and Your Self-Confidence High

White spots don’t only ruin the beauty of your smile – they can also make your teeth too sensitive and open them up to further decay. In order to get rid of them, we use Icon, a revolutionary new tool that makes white spot a quick and painless process. By utilizing a gel that opens the pore system of the white spot lesions, our team can bring back your natural tooth color as well as permanently build new enamel, keeping your new results long-lasting and lovely.

This form of white spot removal treatment is quick, easy, and affordable. No shots, drills, or surgery is required to achieve noticeable results, and the entire appointment can be finished in as little as twenty minutes!

Are you in need of white spot removal? You can learn more about the process here, and feel free to peruse our website for more information about the other cosmetic dentistry techniques we can offer you.
