OUR SERVICES
General Dentistry
Dental health and oral hygiene are essential to a positive, healthy lifestyle at every age. At Family Dentistry of Braintree, we take a comprehensive approach to the general dentistry and oral hygiene needs of our clients. We see each person as unique and every family as part of ours.
Restorations
The options for dental fillings or restorations have expanded significantly in recent years, and we urge our patients and their families to review all the options to make an informed confident decision.
Root Canal Therapy
Millions of teeth are saved every year by root canal treatment, also called endodontic treatment. Effectively performed, root canal can relieve tooth pain and save your smile and your teeth.
Cleanings
A good program of dental and oral hygiene includes regular visits to the dentist or the dental hygienist for dental cleanings.
Fillings/Restorations
Dental fillings or restorations are sometimes needed to restore the function and integrity of teeth.
Fillings are often needed as a result of tooth decay (caries), trauma, and broken teeth.
Digital X-Rays
X-Rays are pictures or images of the teeth, bones and soft tissues which surround them. Dental x-rays are used to “see” and identify problems such as cavities, hidden dental structures and bone loss, which cannot be seen by simple visual examination.
Extractions
A tooth which is very badly decayed or damaged may need to be surgically removed.
Prior to removing the tooth, dentist will provide a local anesthetic to numb the area; sedation dentistry may also be employed.
Implants
Dental implants are often the preferred method for replacing missing or badly damaged teeth. Dental implants are long-term replacements of missing or badly damaged teeth which are surgically anchored to the jawbone by the dentist.

We will fit emergencies into our schedule during regular office hours. If you or someone you know is experiencing a dental emergency please call: 781-848-2444

HAPPY PATIENTS
A few weeks ago, I suddenly developed a toothache in a back tooth. I was telling my niece about it, and she suggested that I call her dentist, Hodges Family Dentistry of Braintree. I did as she suggested and from beginning to end it was a wonderful experience. Before I go any further, I would like to say that I am apprehensive and quite the “baby” when it comes to going to the dentist. When I arrived, I was greeted by two kind and friendly ladies at the front desk. After filling out the paperwork, Cassy, the dental assistant, brought me into the examination room. My dentist, Dr. Parker Hodges, examined my teeth before Cassy took x-rays. Dr. Hodges looked over the x-rays and explained the situation. He then went over my options and the pros/cons of each. I decided that the best option for me would be to pull the tooth. I got an antibiotic for the infected tooth and an appointment was made to get it pulled. I was, and still am, confident that I went to the right place. When it came to pulling the tooth, I have never had such an experience. Dr. Hodges is methodical, skilled, and painstakingly thorough. I felt no anxiety/nervousness during this appointment. I attribute that to the competent team of Cassy and Dr. Hodges. I did not have a “death grip” on the arms of the dental chair, my shoulders were not tensed up around my ears and my feet were not stiff. That is a first for me. Thank you, Family Dentistry of Braintree.

Dr Richard Struzziero is the best dentist I've ever had, and in 63 years there have been a lot! He is so knowledgeable, so savvy as to what problems are, so honest about NOT having to do dental work if not needed, and uncannily gentle when working in a patient's mouth. The staff are wonderful, friendly, patient and super helpful.
