Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions by anchoring crowns, bridges, or dentures to titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone. This treatment restores full chewing function while preventing bone loss. Ideal for patients missing one or more teeth, implants offer superior stability compared to traditional dentures. Our specialists use advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement and long-term success.
Veneers
Custom-crafted ceramic veneers address dental imperfections like stains, chips, and minor misalignments by bonding thin shells to tooth surfaces. This minimally invasive procedure transforms smiles in as few as two visits. Our in-house ceramist ensures natural light reflection for lifelike results. Veneers typically last 15-25 years with proper care, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Comprehensive full mouth reconstruction combines multiple prosthodontic treatments to restore severely damaged or missing teeth. This personalized approach addresses structural, functional, and aesthetic concerns through coordinated procedures like implants, crowns, and bite adjustments. Patients experience improved oral health, facial aesthetics, and chewing efficiency. Treatment plans incorporate both immediate and long-term dental needs.
Teeth Whitening
In-office and take-home whitening systems effectively remove deep stains using medical-grade bleaching agents. The Zoom! system achieves dramatic results in one-hour sessions, while custom trays allow gradual lightening at home. Our treatments minimize sensitivity through pH-balanced formulas. Results typically last 1-3 years depending on dietary habits and maintenance.

Boston Prosthodontics Dental Group on Staniford Street in Boston is an outstanding comprehensive dental care group, . My husband and I have stayed with our dentist, Dr. Dan Nathanson, since his postdoctoral training at the Harvard Dental School. We are thoroughly satisfied with his care and his recommendations and advice. All the other dentists at the group are equally outstanding. The oral hygienists are equally superb, thorough and personable.
We feel excellently and comprehensively cared for. Thus is top-notch group. You the patient and your well being count most. You are valued and known as a person. The administrative staff is most forthcoming, available, always courteous, and friendly. They go out of their way to facilitate our own difficult schedules. I recommend this Group with the highest enthusiasm and praise.

I have been a patient of Dr. Malament's since 1991-2. That, in and of itself, tells the story but I am also very fond of the staff that has been constant all these years too. Denise and Marybeth feel like family and the hygienist, Diane is superb. Dr. Malament is not just a first rate dentist but an artist.
