You have probably driven past this office for years

If you live or work in Waltham, distance was never the obstacle. You know the building. You may have parked near it. Proximity removed the logistics excuse a long time ago, which leaves the real one, and sedation exists for the real one. The visit you have been postponing has been five minutes away the whole time, and it can end with everything finished.

Designed around the visit you have been dreading

The operatories were built for the nervous system, not just the dentistry. Natural light instead of fluorescents, something calm to watch, something weighted to hold onto.

Sedation dentistry, at its home address

This is where all three levels of sedation are actually delivered. A purpose-built practice on the Third Avenue corridor, with every visit monitored continuously with pulse oximetry and capnography, following the American Dental Association’s 2025 sedation and anesthesia guidelines. Nothing gets referred out and nothing happens in an unfamiliar building.

Dr. Sutera on his Waltham neighbors

Dr. Charles Sutera, DMD, FAGD
“My Waltham patients are neighbors in the literal sense, and the pattern I see is relief that the thing they postponed was five minutes away the whole time. The distance was never the obstacle. The chair was, and the chair is solvable.”

Dr. Charles Sutera, DMD, FAGD

A Waltham patient, in her own words

“I had a really wonderful experience here. The staff cares deeply about their patients and I would return in a heartbeat.”

Questions Waltham patients ask

Who provides sedation dentistry in Waltham?

Aesthetic Smile Reconstruction at 75 3rd Ave, the Waltham practice of Dr. Charles Sutera, DMD, FAGD. Dr. Sutera is one of the only multidisciplinary dentists in Greater Boston board certified in IV sedation by the Massachusetts Dental Board. This is the practice's home office, not a satellite location.

Where exactly is the office, and is there parking?

75 3rd Ave, on Waltham's Third Avenue corridor, adjacent to The Westin Waltham Boston, with free on-site parking. If you can find the Westin, you can find us.

What are your hours?

Tuesday through Thursday 8am to 5pm, Friday 8am to 3pm. Sedation visits are scheduled as dedicated blocks, so the appointment length in your written plan is protected time.

What makes the office different for anxious patients?

The rooms were designed around the anxiety, not just the dentistry. Every operatory has a 55-inch screen visible whether you are upright or reclined, weighted blankets and sunglasses are standard offers, and you are welcome to bring your own music and headphones.

What do the sedation options cost?

Nitrous oxide from $168 per visit, oral sedation from $550, IV sedation from $2,100, and the consultation is $432. The exact sedation fee follows appointment length, fixed in your written plan before anything is scheduled.

Do I need a driver if I live in Waltham?

For oral or IV sedation, yes, even from around the corner. The medications impair driving regardless of distance. Nitrous oxide is the exception: it clears within minutes and you drive yourself home.

Can years of dental work really be finished in one or two visits?

Routinely. Sedation removes the comfort ceiling on appointment length, which is how treatment plans that would run five or six unsedated appointments compress into one or two. The consultation tells you which your case is.

Your dentist has been five minutes away this whole time.

The first visit is $432: one hour, seated upright, and a written plan. Tue through Thu 8 to 5, Fri 8 to 3.
