Welcome to The Classic Smile! We have been practicing in Medford for over twenty years and have recently moved into the historical Armory building in Medford Square.
The Classic Smile is a full service dental practice with state of the art technology provided in a clean, comfortable and modern facility.
While being treated, patients have the option to watch videos through our virtual headsets. We pride ourselves in this relaxing atmosphere, which is evident when patients, who have chosen to watch a video on a virtual headset, request to stay after their procedure to finish it.
We treat every patient as one of our own family and, therefore, on your first visit, we perform a complete and thorough examination of not only your mouth but also your feelings and desires about your teeth.
Our mission is to help educate our patients on dental care and provide recommendations to fit your needs. We explain the care that you require and answer all of your questions. We listen to you. This allows us to provide the very best dentistry that you want at a pace and price that you can afford. Our administrative team will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits and offer payment options to fit your budget. No treatment is ever performed without your full knowledge and consent. We are smile artists committed in providing you with the best and latest materials and techniques. Our staff is committed to providing you with the very best service.
How ViziLite Plus Works
As with most serious diseases, early detection is the key to successful outcomes. Unfortunately, the problem with oral cancer is that approximately 70% of the time it is not visible to the dental professional until it has reached an advanced stage. ViziLite Plus technology assists your dental professional in seeing abnormal tissue in the mouth, before it is plainly obvious.
As ViziLite Plus passes over oral tissue that has been treated with the rinse solution, normal healthy tissue will absorb the light and appear dark, abnormal tissue will appear white. The purpose of using ViziLite Plus is to identify tissue changes at their earliest stage; once abnormal tissue has been identified, it is up to your dental professional to determine what the appropriate next steps are.
ViziLite Plus as part of a thorough soft tissue evaluation
Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it's caught early. That's why the ViziLite Plus exam has been developed. ViziLite Plus uses technology that has proven successful in identifying soft tissue abnormalities in other areas of the body. A ViziLite Plus exam is particularly important if you are at increased risk for developing oral cancer.
Interest free financing helps many of our patients afford the care they need today.
