Do You Really Need Dentures?
October 31st, 2011 by Dental Partners of Brookline
Thirty years ago, it was a common dental practice for dentists to replace missing teeth with full or partial dentures. Dentists believed (and still do) that missing teeth needed to be replaced to ensure proper chewing function. They recognized that missing teeth could contribute to malnourishment, self-esteem issues and speech difficulties.

How Do You Know If You Need A Root Canal Or A Dental Implant?
October 17th, 2011 by Dental Partners of Brookline
One of the most common decisions for dental patients who are faced with treating a decayed or fractured tooth is between a root canal and placement of a dental implant. Not every patient will be a candidate for root canal treatment and not every patient will be a candidate for an implant-based crown or bridge. Each treatment plan recommendation will be based on each patient’s needs and dental circumstances.
Options for Replacing Missing Teeth
July 22nd, 2011 by Charles Trauring
A person’s mouth works most efficiently and effectively when every part—teeth, gums, muscles, ligaments, joints, bone—work together properly. When something is not quite right with any one of those parts, over time other bodily functions can be affected.
Is it Worth Investing in Your Teeth?
July 14th, 2011 by Ryan Blissett
One of the most common reasons people put off even basic dental cleanings is simply that they cost a lot of money. But here are three reasons that make your mouth worth the investment.
No Pain Doesn’t Mean No Problem
May 25th, 2011 by Charles Trauring
Don’t judge a book by its cover is a common phrase usually associated with judging situations or people by looking at them. No news is good news is another adage that many people live by. Unfortunately in dentistry, these statements have proven incorrect and ultimately costly in many cases.
Dealing with Cracked Teeth
May 19th, 2011 by Zena Al-Adeeb
If you’ve ever bitten down on a crusty piece of bread or an unpopped popcorn kernel or suffered a blow to the upper or lower jaw during an accident, you may have experienced part of a crown chipping off and falling out into your hand. In these kinds of cases, it is pretty obvious that a tooth is cracked. But many people do not realize that a tooth can be cracked without coming completely apart.
Adult Orthodontics
March 25th, 2011 by Dental Partners of Brookline
Orthodontics is not just for teens and young people anymore. Adult orthodontics is an area of increasing specialty, and many adults are deciding to have their teeth straightened, or to improve their bite and smile. The main challenge in adult cases is that the physiology of the tissues surrounding teeth is different than in growing patients. There is also the greater likelihood that adults have experienced more and more extensive dental restorations, which may limit the available orthodontic approaches. That’s why orthodontic goals in adults may be slightly different than in teens. An adult may decide to have braces as part of his or her treatment, but it doesn’t necessarily mean treatment will take two-and-a-half years, as is traditionally the case with teens.
How do I know I have a Dental Problem?
February 25th, 2011 by Dental Partners of Brookline
Having a dental problem is not always obvious. Some people may not experience any discomfort or pain at all, some may not experience it until the issue is really advanced, and others know something’s wrong from the very early stages. This is one of the reasons it is so imperative to schedule regular dental checkups; to catch any potential dental issues at the earliest stages to reduce the chances of pain or complications and costs associated with treatment. Your dentist will always be happy to talk with you about any questions you may have about something new or different happening in your mouth.
