The most critical aspect of overall oral health is receiving regular professional dental cleanings and check-ups. During a teeth cleaning appointment, we remove dental plaque and tartar that accumulates around the teeth and gums. Our HIGHLY TRAINED TEAM OF HYGIENISTS perform this under high loupes magnification using ultrasonic instruments and fine polishing techniques. This process makes the teeth cleaning appointment PAINLESS and comfortable. The cleaning will also remove any stains that have accumulated due to pigmented foods or beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Fluoride treatments, which include the topical application of fluoride and varnish, are a standard part of our preventive care. These services are highly recommended to prevent cavities and reduce tooth sensitivity. We also perform an oral cancer and abnormal lesion screening during that visit.

Some patients may need more frequent cleanings or subsequent periodontal maintenance, like scaling and root planing, to maintain proper oral and periodontal (gum) health. We will work together to help you achieve and maintain your best oral health.

Gingivitis is a reversible gum disease that is most typically recognized with the appearance of red, puffy gums. It can be easily treated with a thorough teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Periodontal disease is an oral disease that develops from a lack of proper brushing and flossing, oftentimes resulting in gum recession, bone loss, and subsequent tooth loss. The early signs that you may have periodontal disease include red gum tissue, bleeding at the gums during flossing and/or brushing, and chronic bad breath.
Treatment for gum disease is dependent on the type and stage of disease. If gingivitis goes untreated, it may progress to periodontitis, which is a more advanced stage of gum disease that affects the underlying bone.
SCALING AND ROOT PLANNING are the most common treatment plan for periodontitis. They include cleaning the teeth above and below the gumline and using ultrasonic scaling instruments and hand instruments. It is a conservative treatment that does not require surgery. Advanced cases of periodontal disease may require gum surgery if the tissue cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment alone.
If you notice symptoms of teeth and gum disease, consider meeting with a doctor in our clinic who specializes in periodontal treatment.
Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) is also known as a DEEP CLEANING of calcium and tartar buildup. It helps to control and stop the progression of active gum disease that is called periodontitis. Left untreated, periodontitis will lead to irreversible damage to the supporting gum and bone structures of your teeth and ultimately cause tooth loss.
Treating this disease involves removing the source of the gum inflammation, bacterial plaque and tartar. Deep scaling and root planing of the tooth root surfaces that harbor the tartar is done with the use of ANESTHESIA (numbing of your gums). If treated early, most cases of periodontitis are RESOLVABLE. More advanced cases often require surgery to prevent tooth loss and/or continued dental infections.
Sometimes, multiple visits are necessary to complete this treatment. After completion, patients return for regular periodontal maintenance teeth cleaning to monitor gums as they return to stabilization and prevent further harmful gum disease.

At Smile Design Boston, we customize each initial consultation to the patient’s needs, from teeth cleaning to more advanced dental procedures. Your visit will be different from what you’re probably accustomed to from past dental office experiences.

First, we conduct a thorough examination. We use the most advanced technology to gain a comprehensive view of your oral health, including an intra-oral digital camera, 3-D intra-oral scanner, and DIGITAL X-RAYS. The 3-D intra-oral scanner is used to make a 3-D digital impression of your teeth with NO MESSY MOLDS. These 3-D scans are turned into molds by a 3-D PRINTER right here in our office, giving us a highly detailed replica of your teeth.
If you’re planning on a COSMETIC DENTAL PROCEDURE, you have a number of options for treatment. Following our initial examination, we will discuss different options available and explain what we believe will be the right approach for your needs. It is always our priority to help you reach your goals and attain an OPTIMUM OUTCOME.

CLEAR ALIGNERS can provide you with the BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY SMILE you always wanted, without some of the setbacks often associated with orthodontic care. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you are wearing. That means you can smile more during treatment as well as after!

Invisalign is a trademark name for a clear aligner technique. It is made with 3-D COMPUTER IMAGING technology and has been proven effective. You wear each set of aligners for about 1 week, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will continually move, until they have straightened to the final position prescribed. Total treatment time averages between 6-15 months, and we can achieve optimal results with Invisalign.

Please call our office to see if Invisalign treatment in Boston is the right fit for you.

Orthodontic braces are made of ceramic, or plastic. They are bonded to the teeth, and with a constant, GENTLE force, in a carefully controlled direction, braces SLOWLY MOVE TEETH to the proper position. Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. These days, BRACKETS ARE METAL-FREE. Even wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

A retainer is a CUSTOM-MADE, removable or fixed appliance that helps teeth maintain their new position after braces or Invisalign. Retainers can also be used to treat minor orthodontic problems. The use of a retainer is a VERY IMPORTANT PART of POST-ORTHODONTIC or INVISALIGN care.

Mouth Guards and TMJ Splints
Teeth grinding affects many people, with stress being a common cause and mouth guards being a common solution. Grinding your teeth causes enamel loss and increased sensitivity. In severe cases of teeth grinding, extensive tooth damage is caused and a full-mouth rehabilitation may be needed.

Mouth guards and TMJ Splints are CUSTOM MADE from clear thermoplastic resin that fits your teeth PRECISELY and PASSIVELY, unlike the hard and uncomfortable mouth guards used in the past. If you’re experinecing TMJ symptoms or are concerned about unhealthy wear and tear on your teeth due to grinding, we invite you to contact us to discuss a custom mouth guard or a splint as an excellent option for treatment.

The piezocision technique was developed by Dr. Serge Dibart as a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed to accelerate adult orthodontic tooth movement. This technique is a flapless procedure involving microsurgical incisions in the soft tissue. Piezoelectric ultrasonic tips are used to stimulate regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) in the bone region where movement is necessary. The result of piezocision is accelerating the adult orthodontic movement and reducing the total treatment time. When indicated, Piezocision can also be utilized in conjunction with bone or soft tissue grafting to enhance the overall periodontal attachment support.
