We welcome patients from Somerville, including Davis Square, Union Square, Assembly Square, Winter Hill and East Somerville. Whether you have a recommendation from your dentist or are seeking an evaluation on your own, you can contact us directly. Our office is in Boston. On-site and nearby parking are available, and you can continue seeing your Somerville dentist for your regular dental care.
Start with the Question You Need Answered
Do you need a root canal? Is a painful wisdom tooth ready to come out? Could an implant replace a tooth you have been missing for years?
You do not need to settle those questions before making an appointment. A consultation gives us the opportunity to examine the problem, review relevant imaging and explain the treatment choices.
BOSEA provides root canal treatment, retreatment and endodontic microsurgery, along with dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, complex extractions, bone grafting, oral pathology and the surgical portion of full-arch implant treatment. Anesthesia and sedation options are discussed according to the procedure and your medical history.
When a Tooth Hurts or an Old Root Canal Flares Up
Tooth pain can be difficult to describe. It may come and go, appear only when you bite or linger after a hot drink. Even a tooth that has already been treated can develop a new problem.
At BOSEA, Dr. Yasmine Basseghi evaluates these concerns and provides endodontic treatment. The first task is to find the source of the symptoms. From there, we can discuss whether root canal treatment, retreatment or another approach is appropriate.
Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected tissue from inside the tooth and cleans and seals the root canals. A tooth that has been treated before may sometimes benefit from retreatment or endodontic microsurgery. An examination is needed to determine whether either option is suitable.
Saving the tooth also means planning for what comes afterward. Your dentist may need to provide a crown or other restoration to protect the tooth and complete treatment. We coordinate specialty care with your dentist so you know what still needs to be done.

Wisdom Teeth and Surgical Extractions
A wisdom tooth does not have to be painful to need attention, and having wisdom teeth does not automatically mean you need surgery. Their position, the health of nearby teeth and how easily the area can be cleaned all matter.
BOSEA offers wisdom tooth evaluations and removal for teens and adults. We also provide complex extractions when a tooth cannot be retained or its removal requires surgical care.
If you are arranging treatment around classes, work or family responsibilities, bring those questions to your consultation. Ask about the expected recovery, follow-up visits and whether you will need someone to accompany you. The plan should account for the procedure you are having and the anesthesia or sedation involved.
Dental Implants and the Plan for Your New Tooth
A missing tooth can affect how you chew and how comfortable you feel with your smile. Dental implants offer one way to replace missing teeth, but the surgical and restorative steps need to be planned together.
BOSEA uses 3D CBCT imaging and digital planning to evaluate the bone and surrounding anatomy before implant surgery. If the area needs additional bone support, bone grafting may be part of the plan.
Our role is the surgical treatment. Your general dentist or restorative dentist provides the crown or other restoration supported by the implant. If your dentist is in Somerville, we can coordinate with that office through the stages of care.
At your consultation, we can discuss the preparation involved, the likely sequence of appointments and the factors that affect timing. An implant plan should reflect your mouth and your health, rather than a fixed timetable.
All-on-X and Full-Arch Treatment
If many teeth are failing or you are considering an alternative to traditional dentures, a full-arch implant evaluation can help you understand what is possible. All-on-X uses several implants to support a fixed arch of replacement teeth.
BOSEA provides the surgical evaluation, planning and implant placement, working with the dentist who handles the restorative treatment. The number of implants and the need for extractions, grafting or staged treatment vary from person to person.
A Tooth Worth Saving or a Tooth That Needs Replacing
Sometimes the difficult part is deciding which direction to take. A damaged tooth may still be treatable, while another may have too little remaining structure or support for a dependable restoration.
Because BOSEA offers both endodontics and oral surgery, we can consider treatment to preserve the tooth as well as extraction and replacement when appropriate. We will explain why a treatment is being recommended and what its limitations are.
If you are weighing a root canal against an extraction or implant, bring that question with you. You deserve to understand the options before making a decision.
You do not have to leave your Somerville dentist to see us. BOSEA handles specialty treatment, while your dentist continues your checkups, cleanings and other ongoing care.
If your dentist has referred you, we communicate about the treatment and any restorative work needed afterward. If you contact us directly, let us know which dental office you normally visit so we can coordinate your care.

Appointment Questions
Can I schedule without a referral?
Yes. No referral is required. Call BOSEA or request an appointment directly, and tell us what you would like evaluated.
Do you work with my dental insurance?
BOSEA works with most major dental insurance providers, except MassHealth. Contact our office to confirm your specific plan and coverage before your visit.
What if my dentist has already taken X-rays?
Let us know when you schedule. We can discuss how your dentist can share existing records. The specialist will determine whether additional imaging is needed for your evaluation or treatment planning.
Can I ask for an evaluation before agreeing to an extraction?
Yes. A consultation can help you understand whether a tooth can be saved and what replacement options may be available if it cannot. You do not need to choose a procedure before the tooth has been evaluated.
What should I do if I have tooth pain now?
Call the office and describe your symptoms, including when they started and whether they have changed. We can discuss appointment availability and the next step for an evaluation.
