    As a general dentist I offer a wide variety of routine services. In addition I am skilled in difficult root canals, implant placement and restoration, difficult extractions and conscious sedation. We pride ourselves in having to refer very few cases to specialists. Originally from Lexington MA I attended Boston College for my undergraduate studies before attending Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. I graduated Tufts in 1982 and then joined this practice in Watertown.

Teeth cleaning: specialist or general dentist?
