Bubble Childrens Dentistry and Orthodontics was created and themed to make going to the dentist fun and easy for kids and their parents, we refer to our office as Destination Dentistry. We believe that by teaching your children good dental habits at an early age we can positively affect their health, wellness and confidence for the rest of their lives. Our pedodontists and orthodontists are able to provide expert care using the latest technology and provide you and your child oral health education so you can be assured they are receiving the best care possible.

  • iTero Scanner digitally scans the mouths of patients creating a three-dimensional dental images in minutes. This 3D image helps our orthodontists diagnose orthodontic problems and develop the best treatment plans. No more goopy impression trays that are uncomfortable and causes gagging in some patients.
  • Digital Indirect Bonding of Braces Indirect bonding is a method of applying brackets for braces to the teeth in such a manner that an entire set of braces can be applied in less than an hour.By using indirect bonding we are able to increase patient comfort and ensure the accuracy of bracket placement for a better outcome.
  • Digital Dentistry: Instead of using a putty filled tray to take a dental impression, which was uncomfortable and caused gagging in some patients, we can digitally scan your childs mouth in about 90 seconds using our iTero digital scanners. Not only is it fast and comfortable, it produces better quality models of your teeth and it also providers a quicker turn around time on retainers, Invisalign and braces.
  • Not all childrens dentists are specialists. Our pediatric dentists and orthodontist have spent an additional 2-3 years to become specialists in their fields. These additional years are spent training the specialists in the unique needs and care of children. In addition, our pedodontist is board certified as a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

    Our warm, caring and attentive dental team provides a wide range of childrens dental treatments to ensure that your child will develop and maintain beautiful, healthy teeth. With proper and consistent dental treatment, we can not only help to prevent cavities in the future, but also teach your child good habits that will last them a lifetime!

    Bubble Dentistry and Orthodontics is a Top 1% Invisalign Provider in North America. When it comes to Invisalign, who you choose as a provider matters. Our Diamond 1% status means we have the experience and skill to provide exceptional aligner therapy for your child.

    As a patient of Bubble, you can take advantage of traditional braces or Invisalign clear aligners for the same fee. We believe that there is no single treatment that corrects every smile, so you can chose the best treatment based on your childs need and not cost.

    We designed our brand new office with you and your childs comfort and imagination in mind. Our Destination Dentistry themed office is full of marine life from the waters of New England. You and your child will be awestruck when you enter office and walk thru the underwater tunnel with a variety of marine life swimming above you. Once you enter the reception area, Balee, our Humpback Whale suspended from the ceiling will great you as well as our harbor seals Frank and George, who are eager to have a selfie taken with you. Our theme continues in the treatment area with more than 100 fish, dolphins, tuna, stingrays and turtles swimming above you offering your child the feeling of being at the aquarium. We also live coral reef tanks and Moon Jellyfish tanks to offer a sense of calm and relaxation while at Bubble.

    I've seen Dr Berik for over a decade, I was thrilled to find out about Bubble dentistry, especially as it specializes in providing dental care to neurodiverse children. Our experience was beyond stellar with Dr Josh and two very calm and friendly hygienists. They showed my children all the tools and what they do, and were so gentle and patient. The staff were helpful and nice. It was truly a VIP experience for my kids. And the decor and fish tanks are such a treat - what an amazing place. My kids (and I!) can't wait to go back. Thank you to Dr Berik for making this outstanding, easy, and welcoming pediatric dental experience. And to Dr Josh and crew for being so great with my kids.

    We were visiting the area from out of town and during that time my daughter developed a really bad toothache. We called around many places and lucked out that this place had an available appt. Although we were out of network, we were able to get things worked with them and our insurance. The doctor and dental hygienist were super helpful as well as the front desk people. They all put my daughter at ease who had been in a lot of pain and listened tentatively. I realize that this place is new but I could tell that the people I dealt with cares. They helped my daughter with her pain and super thankful for that. It's now 8 days since we were there and the doctor's diagnoses was right on and my daughter's pain has not come back. Thanks once again!

    Bubble was awesome! My 2 year old didn't want to leave. They let him explore the whole office and check out all of the fish and decorations. Everyone was so friendly. I had no idea a dentist visit with a toddler could be so enjoyable!

    We just moved to the area, and needed a new dentist for our daughter. I'm so glad we found Bubble Dentistry! As soon as we walked in the door, she became fascinated by the decor, jellyfish, and Clark the shark. We were then warmly welcomed to the practice, and given a tour. I was extremely impressed with their fish tanks. It felt like we were in a section of the New England Aquarium. Dr. Josh was amazing with our daughter and took all nervousness away. She also LOVED the stuffed shark that was included in the welcome bag! We can't wait to go back

    Great pediatric dental practice! My son loved the ocean theme and was captivated by all the different animal sculptures and fish tanks. He was anxious before coming and walked out happy and proud. Everyone on staff made it a pleasant and fun experience.

    We recently moved to Newton and during the appointment my son exclaimed, " Dr Swamy is the first dentist that didn't hurt me." The children had a great and positive experience and look forward to their next visit. What a great, seamless experience with a great and welcoming staff.

    Amazing place! I tried going to do many dentists who say they understand disabilities. They only traumatized my son. Bubble "gets it" and they are wonderful. My son left saying "that was fun!" This Autism Mom is a happy gal.

    I never thought that I would rave about a dentist but Bubble Dentistry has managed to do the unthinkable: they actually make going to the dentist FUN for kids. From their aquarium themed office to the kind staff that go above and beyond to give each child a personalized experience, this place has it all. Jennifer at the front desk greeted us upon arrival and took the time to give my son a personal tour of the waiting area and all the ocean animals. The Dental Assistant, Kristeen, was so kind and gentle and took the time to show my son all the instruments and explain everything in a way that was child friendly. Dr. Josh was equally wonderful and made sure to give advice without making me feel shamed for any parenting choices. I am so grateful to have found Bubble and to know I have found such a safe and caring place for my child to receive dental care. Thank you, Bubble Denistry for such a positive experience!

    When I called to set up an appointment I also asked if they take our insurance. They stated that they did. When I showed up for the appointment they stated that I have to seek reimbursement. This is not the same as them taking the insurance and handling it on their end. The office manager argued this with me. I am still left chasing reimbursements and owing them money. It is not as straightforward as they said it would be. I do not recommend this practice. They have not done anything to help correct the miscommunication and I risk having this on my credit report.
