- Dental Examination
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningAn oral cancer screening is one of the best diagnostic tools we have. It helps us find cancerous or precancerous lesions. If caught in the early stages, we can refer you to a doctor for treatment before the disease has a chance to progress.
- Teeth CleaningA dental cleaning is a professional cleaning that is performed by your Post Office Square dentist or dental hygienist. A dental hygienist is professionally trained to not only clean teeth but also to help patients prevent, reverse, or arrest periodontal (gum) disease.
- Fluoride TreatmentIf you are due for an examination, your Post Office Square dentist will come in and examine your teeth. In some cases, they may recommend a fluoride treatment to finish your appointment.
- FillingsGold: Gold fillings (called gold inlays) are custom-made in a laboratory. We take an impression of the tooth after the decay is removed and send it to the lab. After the filling has been fabricated, we cement the filling in place. White gold is considered the best filling material choice, though it is also the most expensive. Gold is well-tolerated by the gum tissue and can last for decades.
- Resin CompositeDuring a direct bonding appointment, your Post Office Square dentist will condition the tooth, prime it, and apply an adhesive. Then, they will apply the composite resin, which is soft, almost like tooth-colored playdough. Using a special instrument, the dentist will shape the material to restore the tooth. After light curing the composite with a UV light, the composite will be shaped and polished. And then, you get to go home with a beautiful new restoration.
- VeneersSome people invest in a single veneer to repair a chipped or discolored tooth, while others invest in six to eight veneers to create the appearance of a symmetrical smile.
- CrownsA dental crown is used to restore a tooth that is cracked or broken. It provides support for the tooth and allows it to function normally. Your Post Office Square dentist can create a custom crown that not only functions well but one that looks great, too!
- BridgesA dental bridge is a fixed appliance that is used to restore a missing tooth both functionally and cosmetically. Bridgework is an art, as well as an exact science. Precision is needed to create an appliance that fits well, protects the teeth from microleakage, and creates an esthetically pleasing smile.
- Dental BondingDental bonding is an esthetic dental procedure performed to restore chipped, cracked, stained, or moderately fractured front teeth. The dental resin protects the teeth from breaking down even further. Additionally, dental bonding in Post Office Square can help fill small gaps between the front teeth, lengthen shorter teeth, and give crooked teeth a straighter appearance.
- Restorative DentistryRelocating to Boston, Dr. Share accepted a five-year, full-time academic appointment to the faculty of the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Restorative Dentistry. In 1983, the doctor established a private practice in Boston's Financial District and, after 37 years, merged his practice with The Dental Group at Post Office Square in 2021.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal treatment is also commonly referred to as root canal therapy, RCT, or endodontic therapy. It is performed by a general dentist or an endodontist, someone who specializes in the treatment of root canals and nerve conditions. Root canal treatment from a Post Office Square Dentist is vital for preserving the tooth.
- Deep CleaningWe take pride in helping our patients achieve a beautiful smile, as well as helping protect their teeth and gums. Even if you have periodontal (gum) disease, we can take steps to reduce your risk of tooth loss, such as with a deep cleaning in Post Office Square.
- DenturesHelp make the transition to dentures easier and more successful for edentulous patients whose lip muscles have been repositioned because of the decreased vertical dimension after losing their teeth.
- Dental ImplantsA dental implant is a permanent restoration for missing teeth. You can invest in a single implant to replace a single missing tooth. Or you can invest in multiple implants if you have more than one missing tooth.
- Oral SurgeryWe offer a variety of oral surgery procedures to patients of all ages in the downtown Boston area.

- Jaw SurgeryYour Post Office Square dentist will take the time to discuss your case and all your options thoroughly.
- Maxillofacial SurgeryMaxillofacial surgery can also help with TMJ issues that can help realign your bite and reduce pain. Certain surgical procedures can also be used to change certain features of your facial structure.
- Tooth ExtractionsA tooth extraction is a relatively quick outpatient procedure performed by your Post Office Square dentist. There are two types of extractions: simple and surgical. Teeth that are broken or impacted require surgical means to remove them. Everything else is considered a simple extraction.
- OrthodonticsRetainers are custom-made orthodontic appliances. Your Post Office Square dentist will recommend that you wear your retainer for an extended period (sometimes a few years, sometimes a lifetime) after you have completed orthodontic treatment. After your first year of orthodontics, your dentist will likely recommend that you wear your retainer 24/7.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsEase of use: Another perk of investing in Invisalign® is that they can be removed. The goal is to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day. Anything less, and you will start to slow your results. However, you can remove the aligners to eat with ease. You can remove the aligners to brush and floss your teeth like normal (no floss threaders!). If you have a special event in which you want to remove your aligners for pictures or a speech, you can do so.
- BracesCeramic braces are a great option for people who want to straighten their smile but do not want to deal with metal braces. Ceramic or porcelain braces in Post Office Square are virtually invisible, ideal for teens who are insecure about braces or adults who do not want orthodontic treatment to interfere with work commitments.
- Teeth WhiteningWhitening your teeth is a fun, fast, and easy way to enhance your smile. Your Post Office Square dentist offers multiple professional options for brightening your teeth. These professional options are often more effective and safer, so you can protect your teeth and gums while achieving the smile of your dreams.
