Our Success Story

Six decades of smiles,
built on trust

Established in 1965, Dental Arts has been bringing smiles to Davis Square and its surrounding communities for almost 60 years.

Our practice utilizes the most current, state-of-the-art technology and exceeds OSHA standards for safety and cleanliness. Today's diagnostic procedures are more thorough than ever before, while treatments are often faster, less invasive, and pain-free. There is no longer any need for treatment to be uncomfortable, or for the results to be anything less than what you envision.

Our team of general dentists, specialists, and hygienists work together to deliver all your dental needs in one convenient location. Daytime, evening, and weekend hours are available to accommodate your busy schedule.

Regardless of where you have been, we are eager to help you feel positive about where you are headed.

Our Philosophy

Patient-centered care,
the way it should be

Our approach is patient-centered. While generally conservative, we listen to our patients' wishes to establish a treatment plan that fits their lifestyle and budget.

Our equipment is always current and state-of-the-art — but our approach to patient care is traditional. There are often many treatment options for the same problem, and we work to find the one that fits each patient best.

Comfort & Gentle Care

Care for anxious patients

If a patient is fearful of needles or drills, we talk through the treatment plan together and begin with one very simple, small procedure — explaining each step gently and reassuringly.

Scheduling a short, ten-minute procedure, perhaps with a tiny bit of anesthetic and a calm, steady conversation, helps the patient feel less anxious. At the next visit we do a little more, and a little more — building trust and confidence over time. This gentle desensitization has proven very effective.
