Great experience and conveniently located. I was staying in Brookline and I wanted to find dentists in my area to establish a relationship with. After doing some much research I found Gentle Dental in Brookline to be the most convenient for my needs. The dentist that examined my teeth was very nice and courteous and the dentist hygienist did an excellent job removing some of the noticeable stains on my teeth. They also accept most insurances it appears and would’ve accepted mine had I already not reached my insurance’s annual threshold for cleanings and examinations. Therefore I ended up taking advantage of their new patient promotion that they had going on because it was a great deal! Way better than the dental promotions that I’ve seen or used in Kentucky. It’s obvious that Massachusetts care a lot about oral health. I would recommend this office to anyone out of town or resident.
I had such a great experience at this office, Dr. Zelkha did an amazing job on my filling and crown and was very communicative and caring during the whole process. The office employees were also very welcoming and made me feel comfortable asking lots of questions. I’ve had some pretty bad dental experiences in the past and feel very lucky to have found this office, definitely will recommend if you are looking for a new office.
I love this office! The staff is wonderful and Dr. Zelkha is awesome! I recommend this place because even if the dentist scares you a little, he will make you laugh and it will be 100% worth it!
Root canal therapy treats damaged or infected tissue inside a tooth. The internal space is cleaned, filled and sealed to help preserve the natural tooth and prepare it for any necessary final restoration.
A tooth that has already received root canal treatment may require another evaluation if a new concern develops. Your Brookline endodontist will assess the tooth and determine whether retreatment may help preserve it.
An apicoectomy may be recommended when a concern remains around the tip of a tooth’s root after previous treatment. The endodontist will explain whether this surgical procedure is appropriate for your tooth.
Cracks, fractures and dental injuries can affect the internal tissue of a tooth. Your endodontist can evaluate the extent of the damage and recommend treatment based on the remaining tooth structure.
When the source of dental discomfort is unclear, an endodontic evaluation can provide additional information. The appointment may include dental imaging and testing of the affected tooth and surrounding area.
