I absolutely love what I do! I feel lucky to have the opportunity to help people stay healthy and preserve their teeth for their lifetime.

She pioneered in Boston the Age Defying Dentalift, a smile design technique that restores a more youthful appearance to the lower face and lips without surgery.

Dr. Alan Budd joined as an associate in Dental Health and Wellness Boston in 2003. He graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1983.

Dr Budd has also been interviewed on television and lectured to hundreds of colleagues on his use of oral appliances to address bite problems and relieve jaw problems, and prevent migraine headaches.

For Dr. Budd dentistry is a perfect fit. Volunteer service has long been a part of his life: mentoring as a big brother, recording books on tape for the blind, and making weekly home visits to the elderly. Choosing to become a dentist and care for patients was part of a natural progression. After graduation Dr. Budd entered the US Public Health Services Dental Corps. Operating for two years in an under served area provided an opportunity to address the health needs of a disadvantaged population, while developing the clinical skills he now brings to the practice.

To give back to his Alma mater, Br. Budd joined the Tufts faculty in 1985 as a Clinical Instructor and retired 13 years later as Assistant Professor of Restorative Dentistry.
