Dr. James Stein is a world-class dentist. I was referred to him years ago by a renowned periodontist because my mouth's challenges require the expertise of a highly trained, innovative and meticulous professional. For nearly three decades, Dr. Stein has provided me and my family with superior care. The emergency temporary bonding that he did on my high school daughter's badly chipped front tooth lasted for eleven years...

Dr. James Stein's work is immaculate. A combination of resin and veneers were used to help fill the spaces in my front teeth. All was done within my budget. My smile is bigger and brighter than ever. Also very cool that they can scan and create veneers onsite in the same day.

What to Do during a Dental Emergency
Accidents such as trauma to the face or mouth can cause significant damage to your teeth and create long-term side effects. To save your teeth and protect your oral health, here are certain steps you can take when facing a common emergency:
Knocked-Out Tooth
Without touching the root, carefully rinse the tooth, insert the tooth back in the socket, and gently bite down to secure it. If you are not able to reinsert your tooth, submerge it in a tightly sealed container of saline or milk to preserve the tooth. Bring the container with you to your dental appointment and our dentist can reinsert the tooth in the socket if it is still viable. We provide a wide range of restorative dentistry procedures if a tooth is too damaged to save.
Fractured or Broken Tooth
If you have a fractured or broken tooth, place any broken pieces into a container of saline or milk. Our dentist may be able to bond the pieces back together at our Boston office. For larger fractures, a dental crown can be created and fitted in just one appointment.
Toothache
A toothache can be caused by an infection, gum disease, or a dental abscess. For toothache pain, take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory and place an ice pack on your jaw to ease any discomfort until our dentist can see you.
Utilizing Advanced Technology for Better Results
CAD/CAM
Digital Impressions
We use a digital imaging system to take precise impressions of your teeth and ensure our dental restorations fit comfortably without affecting your bite. Thanks to our digital impressions system, we don't have to use dental putty impressions, which are messy and uncomfortable.
