Ive been practicing dentistry for more than 30 years. My profession doesnt feel like work to me: its a way of helping others, assisting each patient as they achieve their treatment goals and celebrating their healthy smiles.

I am extremely thorough when developing an individuals treatment plan. This ensures my patient develops optimal form and function, which improves their dental and overall health and has the added benefit of being aesthetically pleasing. A big smile at the end of a procedure is the best compliment I can receive!

I am attuned to patients emotional concerns, and strive to set each person at ease. I want people to relax during visits, knowing theyre in competent, caring hands. As an independent practice, we set our schedule and make sure each patient has plenty of time. I dont want anyone to feel rushed through a visit, and make plenty of time to sit, listen, and joke with each patient. Sharing stories and laughing together is part of every interaction.

Each year Dr. Seligman attends many continuing education programs and conferences. It is at these meetings, seminars, and lectures that he stays current with State-of-the-Art techniques. These continuing dental education programs assures that he learns thenewest techniques and technologies toprovide patients with optimum health and aesthetic results.

In addition to general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry courses, Dr. Seligman studies CEREC and Invisalign. He also completes classes on OSHA andHIPAA, infection control and how to address opiate prescription writing.

Dr. Seligman lives in the South End area with his husband, Joe. He has two stepchildren, a daughter-in-law, and sixgrandchildren. When theyre not working, the couple enjoys time at their place in Provincetown, and traveling.

Dr. Seligman likes to stay active: swimming with a master swim program and competing regularly with the local team, LANES. He also loves skiing,bikeing, gardening and getting to the gym as often as possible. Cooking and eating are high priorities, too.

As a periodontal specialist, I have the ability to give patients many years of eating, smiling, and laughing. I take pride in knowing that I help patients with their oral health, as well as overall health.

Our first choice in dentistry is always to try to save the tooth or teeth, but when saving teeth is not possible, dental implants often are. Replacing missing teeth with implants can restore missing teeth and in some cases help prevent the need for dentures. It has been my pleasure to make my patients mouths healthier and saving teeth and smiles since 1997.

As a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and Dental Implants (board certified), Dr. Smith is required to continue her education for recertification every six years. She attends the American Academy of Periodontology annual meetings, and the Quintessence International Symposium on Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, to stay at the forefront of periodontal treatments and technology.

A native of Philadelphia, Dr. Smith returned to Boston permanently in 2008 after having spent a few years living in Back Bay in the 1990s. If you ask her, Theres no place else Id rather live. When Dr. Smith is not busy saving teeth, she loves to travel. In cold weather, she makes it her goal to visit warm destinations.

In the warmer Boston weather, Dr. Smith enjoys gardening in her community garden at the Fenway Victory Garden. In addition to her plot there, Dr. Smith volunteers at their community participation days. She is one of a community of gardeners who all help to share seedlings, mend fences, and share the bounties of their gardens.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.

The best part of being a dental hygienist is working with people from all walks of life, learning about them over the years, and building great rapport. I believe the relationships that I create help patients to feel more relaxed and comfortable, because they know I genuinely care about them as people, not just as patients.

I began working in dentistry in 1996when I graduated with my B.S. in dental hygiene from Northeastern University, and earned an advanced degree in dental hygiene from Forsyth Institute. I joined Dr. Seligmans team in 2004. As an office, we hold ourselves to a higher standard to ensure that patients receive the greatest quality of dental care. We treat one another, and our patients, with respect.

I look forward to seeing and talking with my patients. Ive known many of them for more than 20 years and they feel like family. Our practice strives for excellence every day by providing quality care thats personalized to each patients needs and goals, and I love being part of this team.

I examine patients for signs of oral issues, including cavities and gum disease, and offer preventive dental hygiene care. I clean teeth through scaling and root planing and educate each patient on ways to improve and maintain optimal oral health.

Excellent experience today during my first appointment as a new patient in Dr. Seligman's office. Their staff is friendly and welcoming. Dr. Seligman took time to get to know me and addressed all of my dental concerns. He and his team did a thorough exam and cleaning, leaving my mouth feeling fresh and very clean. He gave me clear instructions for how to best keep up my oral hygiene in preparation for my next 6-month appointment. I look forward to going back.

I called at 8:15am Monday, morning to report a broken temporary crown. and by noon I was in a dental chair having Dr Seligman putting in a replacement (about a 30-40 minute procedure). This certainly was not the first time in my two decade + relationship with the practice where I encountered such responsiveness to unexpected urgent problems. It is what I have experienced many times over the years. Speaking as a physician who understands the challenges of accommodating unscheduled urgent visits, this degree of responsiveness is truly remarkable!

My teeth were a mess. I've been seeing Dr. Seligman the last two years. I feel like I finely gotten my dental situation under control. He's kind and compassionate along with really, really good. I'm glad I made the switch.
