Does Invisalign Hurt?
November 16, 2017
Moving teeth requires the placement of pressure. That pressure shifts the root system of the tooth breaking down supportive alveolar bone tissue. Once the tooth reaches its new position, the bone and gum tissue reattach. No matter how you perform these movements, there will be some discomfort, but unlike other orthodontic solutions, Invisalign may be a much more comfortable solution that limits patient discomfort throughout the course of treatment, especially compared with traditional bracket and wire braces.

We encourage patients to schedule consultation appointments to allow our team to walk through the process, benefits, and drawbacks of each option before making a decision.

Successful Recovery Tips for Dental Implants Brookline
November 24, 2015
Dental implants have become one of the most popular tooth replacement options because they are the only dental restoration that restores the root and crown (visible portion) of the tooth. Because dental implants replace the root structure, they are not reliant on surrounding teeth for support, and the implant posts provide necessary stimulus for bone and gum tissue retention. Innovations in dental implant techniques and technology have made them increasingly viable, and they now have a 98% success rate. When it comes to successful dental implant placement, your Boston Smile Center team works hard to provide the skill and quality materials necessary for a successful surgical procedure, but after the procedure, the success of implant placement is in your hands.

September 23, 2014
An attractive, open smile is an invaluable asset in your personal and professional life, conveying confidence, charisma, and a whole host of positive attributes in a single flash of your pearly whites. If your teeth are crowded, misaligned, or unevenly spaced, you may find yourself hiding your smile in public and in photographs.

Our team would love to show you how much of a difference Invisalign can make in your smile and in your life.
Choose Invisalign for a Confident Smile
If you are a candidate for Invisalign orthodontic treatment, we’ll begin the process of straightening your teeth by taking precise digital measurements of your dentition. This data will be sent directly to an Invisalign lab where your custom aligners will be created. When we receive your aligners, we’ll assess your bite to ensure optimal fit and comfort. The rest is easy! Simply wear your clear, comfortable aligners for the designated amount of time each day for a period of about two weeks for each set. As time passes, you’ll graduate to the next set of aligners in the series until treatment is complete. With Dr. Sasson’s guidance, you’ll begin to see your new smile emerge in no time!
Because we want you to begin enjoying the innumerable benefits of straighter teeth as soon as possible, Dr. Sasson also offers Propel Orthodontic technology. This revolutionary solution actually improves the restructuring process within your jaw as your teeth are shifted into their final positions. Capable of reducing orthodontic treatment duration by up to 60 percent, Propel has been successfully utilized with both traditional braces and the Invisalign system. We genuinely look forward to becoming your partners in your journey toward a healthier, more balanced smile with Invisalign clear aligners.

Drink Alcohol? Read This Now!

We have all heard that drinking soda and coffee can have long-lasting damaging effects on our teeth. But did you know that your nightcap can be just as bad?
Alcohol, just like coffee and soda, is acidic. Furthermore, alcohol temporarily reduces saliva production. Saliva plays an important role in dental health, removing bacteria and plaque from your teeth and gums. Removing plaque is important because more plaque equals more opportunity for bacterial acids to cause tooth decay.
So, what can you do about this unfortunate side effect of indulging in alcoholic beverages? As it turns out, you don’t need to cancel Happy Hours forever. Dilute the acidic content of your drink of choice by drinking water after each alcoholic beverage you consume. This technique will also help you remain hydrated. If you notice plaque build-up in spite of this precaution, contact Dr. Sasson and Boston Smile Center right away.
Are you already experiencing plaque build-up or tooth decay? Contact Boston Smile Center in Brookline, MA and let us help you take control of your dental health today. Dr. Sasson’s Brookline, MA office happily accepts patients from Cambridge, Boston, Newton, Chelsea, Somerville, and beyond!
