Held by our dentists
Preventive, restorative, cosmetic and gum care in one practice, with implants placed and restored in one location.
How care works here
The practice aims to build long-term relationships between its team and its patients. Three things make that possible.
The problem: starting over with a new dentist every few years.
Children see a registered dental hygienist and one of our dentists, with sealants, fluoride and orthodontic evaluations. Puppets teach brushing, and sunglasses keep the bright light out of their eyes. As they grow, they stay.
The problem: a treatment plan nobody explained.
Low-radiation digital x-rays and intraoral cameras put what the dentist sees in front of you. Larger plans can be spaced over time, most urgent needs first, and financial arrangements are made before treatment begins.
The problem: not knowing who is looking after you.
All clinical staff are CPR certified and OSHA trained, everyone follows HIPAA guidelines, and the whole team takes continuing education courses to keep up with advances in dental technology.
Comfort in every room and efficiency of service, from the front desk to the treatment chair. These are the rooms you will actually sit in.
★★★★★Wonderful practice for our whole family: mom, dad, 3.5y/o daughter. The entire staff (hygienists, administrator, dentist) are so engaging and wonderful with kids (and adults)! Very professional, great service and attention to detail. Highly recommend.Kelley E.Google review

Dentistry in Hingham, MA
Preventive, restorative, cosmetic, periodontal and endodontic care, combined into one plan for a healthy smile now and well into the future.
Catch a cavity while it is small, and you usually avoid the bigger treatment that follows. Quality preventive care is the start of a healthier smile.
For missing teeth, a dental injury or tooth pain. Restorative dentistry gives your smile a second chance, from a white filling to an implant.
Chips, gaps and other imperfections you have been covering with your hand. Restorations are made to look completely natural.
Surgical and non-surgical periodontal care with Dr. Kim and our hygienists, and root canal treatment with Dr. Alikhani, both in-house.
Infection from trauma, deep decay or a crack can reach the pulp at the centre of the tooth. Removing the diseased pulp relieves the pain and saves the tooth.
Part of Dr. Pellegrino’s cosmetic work, alongside all-ceramic crowns. The aim is a smile that looks completely natural.
Professional teeth whitening, done in the practice with the ZOOM! system.
Invisible braces: clear aligners that straighten teeth, offered here alongside orthodontic evaluations for children.
Dental implants & gum care
Missing teeth do not have to mean a bridge or a removable partial. Dr. Isaac Kim, our staff periodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, has over 15 years of experience placing dental implants, and works closely with Dr. Pellegrino on the tooth that goes on top.

★★★★★I am a new patient and very happy with everyone from the receptionist to the dental assistant, dentist and hygienist. They were very thorough and gave an honest assessment of my dental health. Also, conservative in treatment and taking the time to seek out any questions and concerns I might have AND assessing and giving answers to them.Nancy D.Google review
