Oral Surgery & Endodontic Care for Cambridge, MA Patients
Dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, root canal treatment and advanced specialty dental care at BOSEA’s Lewis Wharf center in Boston.
If you live or work in Cambridge and need an oral surgeon or endodontist, Boston Oral Surgical & Endodontic Associates provides advanced specialty care at Lewis Wharf on Boston’s waterfront.
BOSEA brings oral surgery and endodontics together in one specialty practice. We provide dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, complex extractions, bone grafting, All-on-X and full-arch implant treatment, root canal treatment, root canal retreatment and endodontic microsurgery.
Having both specialties in one practice can be especially helpful when the right treatment is not obvious. A damaged or infected tooth may be able to be saved with endodontic treatment. In other situations, removing the tooth and replacing it with a dental implant may offer the better long-term result. At BOSEA, both options can be considered before a treatment decision is made. We care for patients and work with referring dentists throughout Cambridge, including Harvard Square, Kendall Square, Central Square, Porter Square and East Cambridge.
Specialty Dental Care for Cambridge Patients
Most dental care can and should be handled by your general dentist. Sometimes a problem requires the additional training, technology and experience of a specialist. That’s where we come in. BOSEA focuses on oral surgery and endodontics. Our specialists treat problems involving the inside of the tooth, the tooth roots, jawbone, missing teeth, impacted teeth and other conditions that require specialty care.
Our services include:
Oral Surgery
- Dental implants
- Wisdom teeth removal
- Complex tooth extractions
- All-on-X and full-arch dental implants

Endodontics

- Endodontic microsurgery and apicoectomy
- Cracked tooth evaluation
- Persistent tooth pain and infection

Dental Implants
If you’re missing a tooth, a dental implant can replace it without relying on the neighboring teeth for support. Implants can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or, in combination with full-arch treatment, an entire row of teeth.
Successful implant treatment starts with careful planning. At BOSEA, 3D CBCT imaging and digital treatment planning help us evaluate your bone, surrounding anatomy and the best position for the implant before treatment begins. If there isn’t enough healthy bone to support an implant, bone grafting may be recommended to rebuild the area and create a stronger foundation

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. Some wisdom teeth come in normally and never cause a problem. Others become impacted, partially erupt, contribute to infection or damage the teeth next to them.
The first step is determining what is happening and whether removal makes sense for you. BOSEA provides wisdom tooth evaluations and surgical removal for teens and adults, with anesthesia and sedation options based on the procedure and individual patient.
All-on-X and Full-Arch Dental Implants
If you’re losing most or all of your teeth, have failing dental work or are struggling with traditional dentures, full-arch dental implants may provide another option. All-on-X treatment uses strategically positioned dental implants to support a fixed full-arch restoration. The number and position of the implants depend on your anatomy, available bone, and treatment needs. These cases require careful planning. BOSEA handles the surgical side of treatment and coordinates with the restorative dentist responsible for designing and completing the final teeth.
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.
Can the Tooth Be Saved, or Should It Be Replaced?
This can be one of the hardest decisions a patient has to make.
A badly damaged, infected or previously treated tooth may have more than one reasonable treatment option. It might be possible to save the tooth with root canal treatment, retreatment or endodontic microsurgery. If the tooth cannot be predictably saved, extraction and replacement with a dental implant may be the better choice. We believe the decision should start with one question:
What gives you the best long-term outcome?
Keeping your natural tooth is valuable when it can be successfully treated. At the same time, repeatedly treating a tooth with a poor long-term prognosis may not be in your best interest. Having endodontics and oral surgery within the same specialty practice allows both options to be considered. The goal is not to push you toward a root canal or an implant. It is to help you understand the choices and make the treatment decision that makes the most sense for your situation.
You Keep Your Cambridge Dentist
Coming to BOSEA does not mean changing dentists. BOSEA is a specialty practice. We do not provide routine cleanings or general dental care, and we are not trying to replace the relationship you already have with your dentist.
If your Cambridge dentist refers you to us, we evaluate and treat the specialty problem, communicate with your dentist and return you to their care when specialty treatment is complete.
For dental implant cases, your dentist or restorative dentist will often provide the final crown or restoration after the surgical phase is completed. For more complex cases, we can coordinate treatment directly with your dentist so everyone involved understands the plan.
For Cambridge Dentists
We welcome referrals from general dentists and specialists throughout Cambridge and Greater Boston. Our goal is straightforward: provide excellent specialty care, communicate clearly and return your patient to you for ongoing treatment.
