Rooted Dental is a unique, one-of-a-kind dental practice. The entire staff is amazing and very welcoming. Dr. Gresham—in particular—is warm, friendly, very knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond to provide the best services/treatments for her patients! It is no wonder that she has been recognized as one of Boston’s Top Dentists!I cannot recommend this practice enough and, for the first time in my life, I truly cannot wait until my next dental visit!

My mother is always a little apprehensive before seeing a dentist, but she came back with glowing reviews for Dr. Gresham and the entire Rooted Dental staff. She specifically felt that Dr. Gresham had a calming presence and that she and the entire staff were professional, kind, and clearly skilled at what they do. Our whole family will be coming back in future!

Dr. Gresham is my new dentist at this practice where I’ve been a patient for over 40 years. She is very professional and I immediately had confidence in her care. The excellent dental hygienists, especially Leah, and administrative staff are still at the practice. Complete continuity of my dental treatment.

I’m that one in a million person who actually likes going to the dentist. Seriously. Dr. Ehrlich and the whole team made my switch over there when my previous dentist retired as painless as possible, and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. I had a little trepidation to go to a dentist during the pandemic but they’ve taken precautions as needed. Katie did an awesome job on my cleaning, and Dr. Ehrlich is extremely competent. Everyone is super nice, including the office staff (Elissa is great!), and you can tell they really care about all their patients.

During a routine dental cleaning and inspection, I was told that I had a fractured tooth where there was already a large filling. When I got home, I called and left a message for the dentist I had just met for the first time to ask how urgent it was to do remedial work on that tooth. I was doubly pleased that she called me back within a few minutes and then reassured me that there was no need to deal with this for another year or so. This whole interaction more than met my expectations for a caring, high-quality dental service.

The change to the new company did not alter my evaluation of the company.. As in the past, I received top-notch dental care. I welcome the new dentist and look forward to more such excellent care. Finally, let me give a shout-out to Leah, who is marvelous.

It has been more than three decades that I have received my dental care with this practice. The staff and doctors are warm and welcoming, making a trip that is often dreaded by many into a pleasant experience. I am grateful for the care I have received over the years and appreciate the practice's commitment to service with a smile.

Our Technology & Procedures

Invisalign

Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to adjust teeth.

Veneers

In dentistry, a veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth. Veneers can improve the aesthetics of a smile and protect the tooth’s surface from damage.

Crown & Bridge

A crown or cap is a dental restoration that covers the exposed surface of a tooth to strengthen it or improve its appearance. A bridge is a dental restoration to replace one or more missing teeth.

Implants

A dental implant is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.

Composite fillings (bondings)

Tooth bonding is the application of a tooth-colored resin material using adhesives and a high intensity curing light. The procedure gets its name because materials are bonded to the tooth.

Root canals

Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one
undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the
inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.

Extractions

dental extraction (also referred to as tooth extraction, exodontia, exodontics, or informally, tooth pulling) is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease, or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with toothache.
