Services
Brito Family Dental is a single privately owned, non-corporate, modern family dental office operated by Dr. Andy Brito.
What is the benefit of receiving care from Dr. Brito at his office, as opposed to a corporate dental office?
There is no revolving door of temporary non-skilled dentists that are only there for a short period of time to make a paycheck.
All treatment decisions are made by you and Dr. Brito, with no outside influence.
Dr. Brito's practice philosophy is that he treats every patient as he would his own family member, because he knows that he will be practicing in the Boston area for the rest of his life.
Tooth grinding or bruxism is a severe problem for many people.
It can lead to many negative effects, including excessive wear of your teeth, cracked teeth, infections due to severe fractures of the teeth, headaches, tooth pain, and jaw pain.
Many times, if excessive grinding is not caught early, it can lead to the need for many crowns, loss of teeth, and a full mouth reconstruction.
The normal recommendation for excessive grinding includes wearing a hard or soft night guard to reduce the wear and tear on the teeth.
Dental fillings help fix teeth that have decay or cavities back to their normal function and appearance.
Dr. Brito can also use bonding or white composite resin fillings to slightly alter the shape and color of your teeth.
There are two types of fillings: white composite or resin-bonded fillings, and amalgam or metal fillings.
Each type has its own indications for usage.
For each patient and each tooth, Dr. Brito will recommend which type of filling he will use.
If teeth with decay or cavities are not treated with fillings or a crown, the patient will experience tooth pain and potentially loss of that tooth.
When the hole from a cavity or previous root canal treatment is too big for just a filling, a crown is indicated.
Sometimes teeth with large fillings, especially large metal/ amalgam fillings, require crowns because the filling material acts likes a wedge and causes the tooth to break in a non-salvageable way.
Also after a root canal, a crown may be indicated because the tooth can become very brittle.
If the tooth does crack, it can lead to more discomfort and tooth pain, and it potentially become a more costly treatment to replace the tooth.
Teeth can become infected by cavities and decay or traumatized by an accident.
Inside the center of each tooth there is a nerve.
When the nerve dies or becomes infected, this can result in a very painful infection, sometimes swelling, and tooth pain.
When a tooth gets in this condition, it either has to be removed or have root canal treatment performed to clear the infection.
Sometimes the tooth is not savable and a root canal is not indicated.
During the exam, Dr. Brito will give his honest opinion whether it is worth your time and money to save the tooth with a root canal treatment.
