When it comes to looking your best and reducing the signs of aging, cosmetic dentistry should be a top consideration. Beauty is experiencing an aesthetic revolution with the dentist becoming the newest "beauty professional" and Dental Health and Wellness Boston is at the forefront of this revolution. This blog is your source for information and beauty tips for your health, your looks and your life.
You lift your head up off the concrete. You’re OK – but there are a few pieces of your teeth lying on the ground. You want to be angry at your girlfriend’s toy dog for tripping you up, but secretly you love that pooch– though none of your buddies can ever know. So you pick up the leash and the departed teeth and head for home. After the initial fussing over how horrible the injury looks in the mirror, you get yourself a glass of water and sit down to call your dentist.
Except they can’t take you in for another two days – so you call another. They don’t seem to care how you want the repairs to look; they’re in charge. So you begin searching online for Boston dentists who can see you immediately and are highly respected by their patient base. After a few minutes you come across Dental Health and Wellness. Not only has Dr. Jill Smith received high praise from her patients, but there are real stories of past procedures right on the web site. You find a story about Dana, a guy who has banged up his teeth, just like you.
You click on the story:
Dana
In February 2011, Dr. Smith came to my rescue when I had a nasty fall that broke the bonding on my front teeth and cracked several teeth. I called into the office first thing the next morning (my accident had happened on a Sunday), and I was in the dentist chair by 10am. It was amazing – Dr. Smith and her team not only repaired the damage to my teeth but with cosmetic dentistry procedures including crowns, veneers and tooth whitening, they gave me the best smile of my life.

After reading this and deciding that this is the place for you, you pick up the phone and call the State Street Office. To your surprise, Dr. Smith can see you later that day! You hang up the phone in triumph and look at your tiny dog, sitting at the door and not caring about why the usual walk had been cut short, just what you’re going to do to make it right.
You look at your watch – still a couple hours until your appointment. With a sigh you grab the leash and head on out again, making sure your cat-sized friend doesn’t get tangled in your feet again.

For Dental Health and Wellness Boston, May is men’s month! This month we will be focusing on men’s health and dental issues, as well as highlighting what Boston dentist Dr. Jill Smith can do for even the most masculine smile.
When you were a kid, braces seemed cool because all the teenagers had them. By the time kids become teens, they realize how uncomfortable and uncool they are – but go along with it because all their friends are in the same boat. And when teens reach adulthood – it’s too late to fix their smile because they have a career and braces are unprofessional, right?
Wrong. When you think of braces, you’re probably thinking of the rigid, metal contraptions that have been around for decades. But what if there were a way to fix your smile without the painful, unattractive mechanisms that make people who need straightening think twice about getting help?
There is, and it’s called Invisalign. Imagine the straightening power of traditional braces, but nearly invisible so your golf buddies and coworkers won’t even notice you’re wearing them (although we can’t help if they notice your straight teeth) Invisalign aligners are removable and can be cleaned easily – helping you avoid all the annoying food restrictions that come along with traditional braces.
You don’t even have to wait until the end of your treatment to see the results! At Dental Health and Wellness Boston, Dr. Smith utilizes the latest 3-D imaging technology to show you what the end result will look like, and will create a progressive plan to ensure that every new aligner shifts your teeth towards the final goal – a handsome smile!
Need to see some real results first? We understand, take a look at what Invisalign did for one of our young professional patients:
Paul
“Since I was a child I had always had crooked teeth but my parents could not afford traditional braces. Growing up I was very self-conscious of my teeth and my smile. I would try to hide my teeth a lot. I knew straightening my teeth would be an investment for my future both personally and professionally.”

For Dental Health and Wellness Boston, May is men’s month! This month we will be focusing on men’s health and dental issues, as well as highlighting what Boston dentist Dr. Jill Smith can do for even the most masculine smile.
Are you the type of person that scoffs at cosmetic procedures? Perhaps you think that such physical fixes are for women, or those with vanity issues. If this describes you, yet you have an untouched dental issue, you may be missing out on something that could change your life.
Whatever your prejudices are against cosmetic procedures as a whole, know this: cosmetic dentistry is different. Teeth are so much more than a flashy smile; they’re functional – and when kept in working order ensure that your body as a whole runs smoothly. If left to decay and fade, your smile can become a portal for issues within your mouth – and as an extension – your whole body. Even something as common as incorrect spacing of teeth can allow bacteria and other invaders a foot in the door.
Sure, with cosmetic dentistry Dr. Smith can give you a smile that looks great and gives you more confidence. But if it helps you sleep at night, you can rest easy knowing that healthy teeth makes for a healthier you.
One such “cosmetic” procedure offered at Dental Health and Wellness Boston is the application of veneers. Veneers are a good option if your teeth have uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, stained by tetracycline, misshapen due to injury or a root-canal procedure, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Overall, they work to give a functional and comfortable structure to your smile.
Don’t believe that veneers can have that much of an effect on you? We don’t expect you to take our word for it, see for yourself the drastic difference they can make, from a guy like you.
Tom B.
As seen in his before pictures, Tom’s teeth had been damaged long ago in a car accident and had been restored a few times by other dentists with composite bonding. Tom wanted this time to restore his teeth with a long lasting, more natural and durable material so he could look good and not worry about his teeth for a long time. He also felt that professionally he could benefit from this as well.

Good Sun Habits to Make You Feel Good About Your Tan
The mediocrity of these spring-like temperatures won’t last forever. Pretty soon we’ll be pulling off the sweater-vests, grabbing our swimming suits and climbing over each other en route to the beach. The first thing everyone is going to want to do is plop down on the sand and get a tan that will make them forget about the cooped up months of winter – when even the light of the microwave began to look welcoming.
In all the excitement of getting onto the beach and into the sun, people forget about the danger they are submitting themselves to – the powerful rays of the sun which, even hidden by clouds, can turn a day of fun into a day of pain. Sun burns don’t just burn the skin; they age it, turning our smooth complexions into rough leather. Years of unhealthy sun exposure can also greatly enhance our risk of getting skin cancer.
When it comes to your skin and the sun – one can never be too careful. Allure magazine shares a few common, and possibly serious, mistakes people make when it comes to getting their tan on:
