“Dr. Whitcomb restored my father’s smile in 1994. My husband’s in 2011. Mine in 2023. Three generations, one practice. There is no higher compliment we could pay them.”

Services & Specialties

Cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry, in the old Boston tradition.

We are deliberately a generalist’s practice in the oldest sense of the word — equipped for the full arc of restorative care, from a single porcelain veneer to a complete reconstruction of a worn dentition.

Porcelain Veneers

Classical feldspathic veneers and pressed Emax, designed by hand and layered in our associate lab in Newton. Conservative in preparation, remarkable in result.

6–10 units · 2 appointments

Dental Implants

Single-tooth and multi-tooth implant restorations, planned in concert with our referred surgeon at Mass General. We handle the restoration phase from provisional to final.

Restorative phase · zirconia finals

Full-Mouth Reconstruction

The restoration of worn, broken, or failing dentitions — planned occlusally, executed across multiple unhurried appointments. Where our practice has built its quiet reputation.

20–28 units · bite analysis

Family & Preventive Care

Three-quarters of our practice is comprehensive care for Boston families we’ve known across decades. Cleanings, checkups, fillings, and the occasional quiet favor.

Our Heritage

Founded in 1987. Owned by one family since.

Dr. Frederick Whitcomb opened the practice in a Charles Street brownstone in 1987, two blocks from where we still work. Dr. Evelyn Whitcomb joined her father in 2008, took full ownership in 2019, and continues her father’s insistence that a dental practice’s reputation is built by every case, not every quarter. We have never merged, never sold, and never accepted a corporate partnership.

How We Work

No rush. No sales pitch.

— Step 01

The First Visit

A thorough examination and unhurried conversation. Records, a digital scan, and time for your questions without a clock.

— Step 02

A Written Plan

We deliver your treatment plan in writing, with photographs and clear reasoning. You take it home. You decide when to proceed.

— Step 03

Phased Treatment

Complex cases are sequenced deliberately across multiple visits, each planned to its own careful rhythm.

— Step 04

Decades of Care

We do not discharge patients. We follow your restorations for their full lifetime, as we’ve done for four decades.

★★★★★

My family has been patients of Dr. Whitcomb for three generations. Her father treated my father. She treated my wedding photographs. The work is immaculate, the practice is calm, and the sense of continuity is something you cannot manufacture.

★★★★★

After thirty years of patchwork dentistry across four different dentists, Dr. Whitcomb proposed a single unified plan and executed it over six unhurried months. The difference is not only aesthetic. My bite feels correct for the first time since my twenties.

★★★★★

I was referred by a colleague at Brigham & Women’s. The practice is precisely what a physician wants in her own dentist — conservative, evidence-based, and unhurried. Six veneers, designed with restraint. Exactly right.

Some things in Boston are worth keeping.

If you’re considering cosmetic or restorative work — or simply seeking a new long-term practice for your family — we’d welcome a conversation.
