Complete Your Smile and Regain Self-Confidence with Dental Implants from Dr. Sasson

February 5, 2014

If you’re missing one or more teeth, particularly if there are visible gaps in the front, it’s likely that you’re more than a little uncomfortable with showing off your smile. Lost teeth not only affect your appearance and self-confidence, but can also contribute to more serious oral health problems if left untreated. At Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA, Dr. Sasson and his caring staff help patients just like you reclaim their complete, beautiful smile with permanent dental implants.

Replacing Teeth with Dental Implants

When a tooth is removed from the oral cavity, whether by force of injury, gum disease or via professional dental procedure, it leaves behind an empty space and an unstable section of jaw. In the absence of the missing tooth’s stability, surrounding teeth begin to drift and jaw bone can begin to deteriorate over time. Patients with missing teeth also tend to have a higher risk of developing periodontal disease, a condition that can negatively affect other parts of the body.

With advanced dental implants from Boston Smile Center, Dr. Sasson replaces your lost tooth with a sturdy, natural-looking prosthetic tooth, restoring stability to the jaw and keeping other teeth in their proper place. First, a tiny titanium post is implanted into the jaw bone, serving as an anchor for the tooth-colored crown that is to serve as your new permanent tooth. You care for your implant in the same way you would your natural teeth – brushing, flossing and visiting Dr. Sasson’s office for routine cleanings.

Reclaim Your Smile Now

Don’t let missing teeth hold you back for another day. Contact our Brookline, MA office now to schedule your free consultation with Dr. Sasson to find out how dental implants can fully restore your beautiful smile. We proudly serve patients from Cambridge, Boston, Newton, Chelsea, Somerville and beyond.

Completely Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers from Dr. Sasson in Brookline, MA

January 13, 2014

Shutterstock Lumineers Close UpDo you often find that you avoid laughing or smiling in public because you’re ashamed of the condition of your teeth? Has the condition of your mouth caused you embarrassment due to deep staining, gaps, or chipped teeth? At Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA, Dr. Sasson and his team want you to know how easy it can be to get a brand new smile you’ll actually want to show off with porcelain veneers.

Why Should I Choose Dental Veneers?

Hand-crafted of only the highest quality dental porcelain, dental veneers are incredibly thin, durable layers that are affixed to the front surfaces of your natural teeth. They can correct a variety of common cosmetic concerns, allowing you to finally smile with confidence. The most frequently corrected problems include:

  • Teeth that are too small or oddly shaped
  • Persistent yellowing, staining and discoloration
  • Chipped or cracked enamel
  • Minor misalignment
  • Gaps between front teeth

Unlike many other cosmetic procedures designed to completely change the appearance of your features, the applications of porcelain veneers is simple and relatively quick. In fact, using only the latest technology available in the industry, Dr. Sasson can give you the bright, even smile you’ve always wanted in as little as two visits to his Brookline office. To see how our cosmetic dentistry services have changed the lives of a few of our patients, please feel free to take a look at our smile portfolio here.

From our office in Brookline, MA, Dr. Sasson happily welcomes patients from Cambridge, Boston, Newton, Chelsea, Somerville and beyond.

Our Brookline Office Can Help You Perfect Your Smile at Last with White Spot Removal

November 30, 2013

group smiling 2There are all sorts of small, cosmetic flaws that can aggravate patients who want to feel completely confident in their smile’s appearance, such as chips, cracks, gaps, misalignments, and more. But have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed the presence of small white spots or discolored areas on your teeth? Although these unsightly areas don’t pose any dangerous threats to your oral health, they can still cause teeth to become sensitive and prone to future decay. They can also be an annoyance after working so hard to polish your smile with other cosmetic dentistry treatments. Thankfully, Dr. Sasson and his dedicated staff offer a solution here at our Brookline office: white spot removal! After this simple procedure, you can finally enjoy the happy, healthy smile you deserve.

Why do I get white spots?

White discoloration most commonly occurs to patients who wore orthodontic braces as a child. This results in a loss of calcium from the enamel, which causes the spots to form. Additionally, drinking and eating a high quantity of foods high in acids as child is also a notable cause.

Thankfully, our white spot removal treatment is available! We rely on Icon, a revolutionary new technology that rebuilds your enamel permanently while also making sure to match the color your restored tooth to the rest of your smile. White spot removal treatment is simple and very affordable – no uncomfortable shots or drilling required! Feel free to view some before and after pictures of patients who’ve undergone the treatment here and see the change for yourself!

Contact our Brookline office today to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Sasson! Our team works hard to give all patients a reason to smile brighter than ever before. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Protect Your Smile from the Threat of Gum Disease with Help from Dr. Sasson

November 15, 2013

gum diseaseThe oral health problem patients experience most, surprisingly enough, isn’t cavities or teeth grinding; in fact, it doesn’t directly affect your pearly whites at all! Gum disease (also referred to as periodontal disease) is actually the most commonly experienced disease period, affecting a staggering 80% of the population. It commonly goes unnoticed due to its initial, milder symptoms, but patients with cases that have progressed to more advanced levels often experience devastating oral damage, up to and including tooth loss. But how can you tell whether or not you’re suffering from gum disease? Here in Brookline, Dr. Sasson and his team are committed to helping patients better understand the facts behind their oral health and what they can do to ensure their smiles stay happy and healthy for years. While a professional opinion is always best for determining the true threat of common issues such as gum disease, here are some symptoms that you can keep an eye out for at home:

  • If your gums bleed during or after brushing/flossing
  • If you suffer from bad breath that persists even after the use of mouthwash
  • Any tenderness, swelling, or discoloration of the gums
  • If your bite begins to feel strange or looser, in a way
  • If chewing becomes painful
  • Teeth that appear longer (a sign of receding gums)

Here at Boston Smile Center, patients suffering gum disease can receive the treatment they need with the help of our Laser Periodontal Therapy™, which relies on our Biolase Waterlase Dental Laser instead of a scalpel to quickly and comfortably remove infection without compromising tooth structure. It’s really that simple!

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.
