James M. Stein, DMD

Our Boston office provides a 24-hour live answering service so that our patients can get the help they need, no matter the time of day. When you speak with one of our specialists over the phone, we can walk you through how to handle your emergency by providing some quick and immediate steps to ease the pain. In most cases, the on-call provider can schedule an appointment to see one of our dentists the following day.

We offer a traditional dental bridge and an implant-supported bridge. Whether you choose a traditional or implant-supported bridge, we can restore your smile, improve your bite, and reduce the potential for losing additional teeth.

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars in the back of your mouth. More often than not, there is not enough room in the jaw for these molars to properly erupt, so they become impacted, meaning they are stuck beneath the gums and/or pushing on the adjacent teeth. Removing impacted wisdom teeth is advisable because they can cause a host of oral complications, including pain, infection, and misalignment.

Invisalign can fix gaps, underbite, cross bite, overbite, crowded overlapping teeth, crooked teeth and TMJ Disorder.

If you've been told you need this procedure, or if your teen requires wisdom teeth removal, you should act promptly. Otherwise, the impacted teeth could cause damage that could be costly to fix in the future. Many parents choose to have their children's wisdom teeth removed before they can cause issues.

The cutting-edge CEREC system allows dentists with the proper training to manufacture a custom crown within the office rather than outsource production to an office dental lab. The milling machine can complete your restoration in about an hour or less, a mere fraction of the time it would take the lab. This makes the procedure far more convenient and eliminates the need for temporary crowns, downtime, and follow-up visits. Furthermore, as we oversee every step of the process, we can ensure the finished product is up to our high-quality standards.

As opposed to restorative or general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of individual teeth and your overall smile. While some cosmetic treatments may provide minor health benefits, their main function remains aesthetic.

There are many benefits of dental crown treatment including lasting strength, trusted durability, and incredibly natural-looking results.

Our Boston, MA, cosmetic dentists use the latest dental technology to increase the efficiency, comfort, and outcomes of each treatment. Wherever we can, we practice digital dentistry and use tools including Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and iTero Digital Impressions.

You can expect to experience minor bleeding, swelling, and bruising following surgery. All of these side effects can be easily managed with proper care.

During your initial appointment, our dentists will help you choose which restoration procedure is right for you. Deciding on the right denture can depend on a number of factors, including your overall health, goals, budget, and more. Dr. Stein is committed to providing all of his patients with long-term satisfaction, and he will guide you through the tooth replacement process.

At James M. Stein, DMD, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments including: -Veneers -Teeth Whitening -Dental Bonding -Smile Makeovers -Invisalign

A dental crown is a porcelain restoration that encapsulates a damaged tooth. Shaped and colored like natural teeth, they restore the functionality and appearance of teeth that have been affected by decay, disease, or trauma. Your dentist will first address the underlying health problem concerning the tooth and then bond your custom crown over the outer layer of enamel.

It is important to follow your doctor's instructions in order to extend the lifespan of your dental bridges. Brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing once daily, and coming in for routine dental checkups are all necessary to keep your gums, teeth, and dental prosthetics healthy.

There are many benefits of full mouth reconstruction including improving your dental health, boosted self-confidence, and a beautiful lasting smile.

After your dentist removes a small amount of enamel from the surface of your tooth, a veneer can be securely attached to give your smile a brighter, entirely natural look.

A veneer is a lifelike dental restoration that can be secured to the surface of a tooth to mask a variety of minor dental flaws. These wafter-thin, translucent shells are made from durable, high-quality porcelain that closely resembles natural tooth enamel and blends in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

James M. Stein, DMD, will provide a custom treatment plan combining multiple restorative options to completely restore the health, comfort, and function of your smile. Your full mouth reconstruction can include tooth-colored fillings, tooth extraction, dental implants, dental crowns, dentures, and dental bridges.

Advances in Invisalign technology mean most people qualify for this convenient and discreet path to a more beautiful smile. Our prosthodontists would love to answer your questions about orthodontics, Invisalign, and braces. During a consultation, we can assess your mouth, digitally scan your teeth, and determine the correct path to a more beautiful smile. If you have serious misalignment, we may recommend traditional orthodontic treatment for the best results.

A nice bright smile isn't just for other people to admire. Nearly 1 in 3 Americans say the condition of their teeth makes life less satisfying. By applying tooth-colored resin to your teeth, Dr. Stein and his son, Brett E. Stein, can conceal a variety of cosmetic issues, including: -Chipped, cracked, or damaged teeth -Worn-down enamel -Discolored teeth -Uneven and misshapen teeth -Gaps between teeth

Made of one or more prosthetic teeth called pontics, a dental bridge “bridges the gap” between your healthy, natural teeth. Our Boston practice offers both traditional and implant-supported fixed bridges so patients have the option of choosing the best type for their situation. Though implant-supported bridges offer additional benefits, both types of bridges will restore your bite and let you walk out with a natural-looking smile.

Dental implants replace teeth by getting surgically placed in the jawbone. An abutment is attached to the implant with a crown secured to the abutment.

Prosthodontics is one of 10 dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. It is a branch of dentistry that focuses on restoring damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth with prosthetic teeth, more commonly called restorations. To be recognized as a prosthodontist, a dentist must undergo at least three additional years of rigorous training beyond that of a general dentist. Prosthodontists are specially qualified to design and manufacture high-quality restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. To maintain their status, these dentists must take continuing education courses to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the field.

While most dentists are capable of providing restorative treatments, our ADA-accredited prosthodontists specialize​ in replacing​ ​missing​ ​teeth and repairing widespread damage,​ ​with a particular focus on the aesthetics of the smile.​ They are more than just cosmetic dentists; these specialists undergo extensive additional training above and beyond that of a general dentist to repair your smile in a way that is comfortable and ergonomically correct while appearing totally natural.

James M. Stein, DMD, offers general, cosmetic, and restorative procedures including dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, dental crowns, veneers, Invisalign, dental bridges, full mouth reconstruction, and more.
