Dental Examination
Dental radiographs (x-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
X-rays
Digital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of x-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect problems easier. Digital x-rays reduce radiation 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Teeth Cleaning
At Herbert S. Birnbaum, DMD, our priority is your oral health. From preventive dental cleanings to advanced comprehensive dental care, Newton Centre dentist Dr. Birnbaum and his staff are dedicated to providing all patients with the highest quality dental care in a warm, caring environment.
Fluoride Treatment
Although most people receive fluoride from food and water, sometimes it is not enough to help prevent decay. Your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend the use of home and/or professional fluoride treatments for the following reasons...
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and are very susceptible to decay. A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.

Fillings
A silver amalgam filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a silver filling.
Resin Composite
Inlays/Onlays: These restorations are custom made fillings. They can be made of composite resin, porcelain or gold and are made by a dental laboratory and placed by a dentist. Inlays/onlays are usually best for the posterior chewing surfaces of teeth and are utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective/unattractive fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma.
Veneers
For LUMINEERS® to be applied, the underlying teeth, bone and gums must be healthy. Patients with gum disease or tooth decay must be treated prior to LUMINEERS® placement. Unlike dental veneers, LUMINEERS® can be left in place for over 20 years or removed upon request to expose the intact original teeth. LUMINEERS® can be fitted in just two appointments, and instantly add pizzazz to the smile.
Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Bridges
Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Birnbaum is Assistant Professor, Part-time of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials Sciences at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. He served as Faculty Supervisor of Harvard's Licensed Practitioner Clinic and is the recipient of numerous recognition's and commendations from his patients, students and colleagues alike. He received the Faculty Award, the highest award bestowed upon a faculty member by the graduating class, and the Part-Time Faculty Award from his colleagues in the Department of Restorative Dentistry in Bio-materials Sciences at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
Apicoectomy

Periodontal Surgery
If the pockets do not heal after scaling and root planning, periodontal surgery may be needed to reduce pocket depths, making teeth easier to clean. Your dentist may also recommend that you see a Periodontist (specialist of the gums and supporting bone).
Deep Cleaning
The role of the dental hygienist is primarily preventative. They keep your teeth and gums healthy by regular deep cleaning. They prevent gum disease and dental decay by removing plaque and tartar before they lead to disease. They also advise you on ongoing concerns and treatment plans, and act as an early warning system for more serious oral health problems. It is recommended that you visit the dental hygienist on a regular basis to maintain optimal oral health.

Dentures
A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are specialists with advanced training and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of various head and neck conditions and injuries. After four years of dental school, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon completes four to six years of additional formal training in treating the craniomaxillofacial complex. This specialty is one of 9 dental specialties recognized internationally and by the American Dental Association (ADA).

Orthodontics
Our dentist utilizes ClearCorrect to provide patients with a smile that is both fully functional and beautiful. These invisible orthodontics trays are capable of resolving dental issues including...
Invisalign Orthodontics
Our staff understands cost is part of the decision-making process when choosing any dental procedure. That is why Dr. Herbert Birnbaum provides an alternative to expensive brands of tray-based orthodontics, such as Invisalign® clear aligners. ClearCorrect and Invisalign braces function the same way, shifting teeth into improved positions with a removable appliance, but ClearCorrect allows you to stay within budget during aesthetic dental care.
Braces
ClearCorrect is easy to use and does not require its wearers to avoid any of their favorite foods. Simply remove the invisible braces before eating or drinking anything that isn’t water. When it is time to perform your daily oral hygiene routine, remove and rinse the trays before reinserting them and going about your day.

Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dramatic interest in cosmetic dentistry. We all realize that having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence. Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.
General Dentistry
Herbert S. Birnbaum received his B.A. from Brandeis University, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in an accelerated three year course of study. In 1980 he received his D.M.D. degree from the Henry M. Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry at Boston University. While in dental school, he was chosen by the international student body of the Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity to serve as International Undergraduate Representative. He then completed a residency in General Dental Practice at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine and Montefiore Hospital, and subsequently returned to his hometown of Newton, Massachusetts, where he established his private practice of general dentistry.
