Oral Surgery & Endodontic Care for Brookline, MA Patients
Dental implants, wisdom teeth removal and root canal care at BOSEA’s Lewis Wharf office in Boston. No referral required.
Your dentist may have recommended a specialist. You may have a tooth that keeps bothering you, or you’re ready to explore replacing missing teeth. Wherever you’re starting, Boston Oral Surgical & Endodontic Associates (BOSEA) can help you understand the next step. For patients from Brookline, our Boston practice offers oral surgery and endodontics in one location. That means care for both preserving teeth and replacing teeth, with treatment based on what your examination shows.
We welcome patients from Coolidge Corner, Brookline Village, Washington Square, Chestnut Hill and across Brookline. You can make an appointment directly, and you can continue seeing your own dentist for general dental care.
A Specialist for the Problem You Are Facing
You do not have to know which procedure you need before contacting us. Tell us what has been happening and whether your dentist has recommended treatment. That helps us arrange the appropriate evaluation.
BOSEA’s oral surgery services include dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, complex extractions, bone grafting, oral pathology and the surgical phase of All-on-X and full-arch implant treatment. Anesthesia and sedation options depend on your procedure and health history.
Our endodontic care includes root canal treatment, retreatment, endodontic microsurgery and evaluation of cracked teeth, dental injuries and persistent tooth pain.
Tooth Pain and Root Canal Treatment
A tooth that hurts when you chew or remains sensitive after something hot or cold deserves an evaluation. The cause is not always obvious, especially if the tooth has a crown, a large filling or a history of treatment.
Dr. Yasmine Basseghi provides endodontic care at BOSEA. An endodontist examines the tissues inside the tooth and around its roots to identify the problem and determine whether the tooth can be preserved.
Root canal treatment addresses inflamed or infected tissue inside a tooth. After endodontic treatment, your general dentist may need to restore the tooth with a crown or filling. We coordinate that next stage with your dentist so you understand how to complete your care.
If a tooth with a previous root canal has become painful again, an evaluation may identify an opportunity for retreatment or endodontic microsurgery. Having had a root canal before does not, by itself, mean the tooth must be removed.

Conveniently located on Boston’s historic waterfront at Lewis Wharf, our surgical center serves patients and referring dentists throughout Boston, the North End, Seaport, Cambridge, and the Greater Boston area.

Replacing a Missing Tooth with a Dental Implant
When a tooth is missing or needs to be removed, it helps to discuss the replacement plan before making treatment decisions. A dental implant may be an option, but the condition of the surrounding bone and gums matters.
At BOSEA, implant planning includes an assessment of your oral health, available bone and surrounding anatomy. We use 3D CBCT imaging and digital planning to help guide treatment. Some patients need bone grafting as part of preparing the area for an implant.
The implant and the tooth you see above it are different parts of treatment. BOSEA provides the surgical care, while your general dentist or restorative dentist creates the final crown or restoration. We work with that dentist to coordinate the plan.
If you have a dentist in Brookline, you can keep that relationship while receiving implant surgery at BOSEA.
When Several Teeth Need to Be Replaced
For patients with extensive tooth loss, failing teeth or difficulty with traditional dentures, All-on-X and full-arch dental implants may be worth discussing. These treatments use multiple implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth.
Your evaluation helps determine whether this approach is suitable and what preparation would be needed. BOSEA coordinates the surgical phase with the dentist responsible for the temporary and final restorations. The number of implants, treatment stages and timing depend on your individual case.
Wisdom Teeth Evaluations and Removal
For many families, a recommendation to evaluate wisdom teeth raises practical questions: Do they need to come out? What will recovery involve? How should we plan around school or work?
We begin by evaluating the teeth and discussing the findings. Wisdom teeth that are impacted, difficult to keep clean or contributing to problems may need removal. Others may be suitable for monitoring.
BOSEA evaluates and removes wisdom teeth in teens and adults. If removal is recommended, we discuss the procedure, anesthesia or sedation options and recovery instructions. Ask about transportation arrangements when scheduling so you know whether someone needs to accompany you and take you home.
Before Deciding to Remove a Tooth
If you have been told a tooth may need extraction, you may want to know whether saving it is still realistic. That is a reasonable question to bring to your consultation.
The answer depends on the condition of the tooth, its supporting structures and whether it can be restored after treatment. Root canal treatment, retreatment or endodontic surgery may help preserve a tooth. When a tooth cannot be predictably saved, extraction and replacement may be appropriate.
With endodontics and oral surgery in the same practice, BOSEA can consider both treatment paths. We explain the findings and the reasons behind the recommendation so you can make an informed decision.
Root Canal Care with Dr. Yasmine Basseghi
Severe tooth pain does not automatically mean the tooth needs to come out. An endodontist specializes in diagnosing tooth pain and treating problems involving the inside of the tooth. The goal is to save your natural tooth whenever it can be treated successfully and predictably.
At BOSEA, Dr. Yasmine Basseghi provides advanced endodontic care for patients with routine and complex treatment needs. Dr. Basseghi has been recognized as a Boston Magazine Top Dentist since 2020.
You may benefit from seeing an endodontist if you have:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Swelling or infection
- A tooth that previously had a root canal and has become painful again
- A cracked or damaged tooth
- Complex root anatomy
- A dental injury affecting the inside of the tooth
Treatment may include root canal therapy, root canal retreatment or endodontic microsurgery, depending on the problem.

What should I have ready when I contact the office?
Have your insurance information and the name of your regular dentist available. Tell us about any recent dental evaluation or imaging, and ask whether records should be sent before your visit. If you have pain or swelling, mention it when you call so the office can advise you about scheduling.
