    After a traumatic experience with a soon-retiring dentist at another practice, I had become something of a 'dental dropout' for a few years. I finally mustered the courage, asked for recommendations from friends and neighbors, and landed at Dr. Rivero's office. I've been grateful for the compassionate care I've been receiving there. ALL of the staff are sincere, diligent, careful, and sensitive to my anxiety. I happily refer this practice to anyone!

    Marilyn is great! They have top notch COVID measures in place to clean the air. I felt incredibly safe. Also was so knowledgeable and really took her time to listen to me and understand my situation. Her staff were also really friendly and fun! They are all fantastic! Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I don't think I could have been any more pleased with Dr. Rivero and the services provided. I highly recommend looking into this office!

    I cannot say enough about my experience at Smile Art Dental Studio. I came in wanting to improve my smile but feeling nervous about it looking “too fake” or overdone. Dr. Marilyn Rivero truly understands the art of cosmetic dentistry. I am very happy with my smile now and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a natural and beautiful smile !!!

    Dr. Rivero is a very dedicated professional. She explains recommended treatment plans very well, dedicating as much time that is needed for each patient. She clarifies any concerns and makes sure that the patient understands the treatment plan. In addition, every aspect of the office is very well taken care of, and the environment of the office is very warm and welcoming, including Dr. Rivero and her staff.

    We offer flexible payment options as well, including CareCredit and in-house payment plans, to help make treatment more manageable.

    If you have questions about your coverage or payment options before your visit, just give us a call. We're happy to help.

    CareCredit

    We accept CareCredit, offering flexible financing options with convenient monthly payments to help make your dental care affordable.

    Questions & Answers

    Invisalign FAQs

    Everything you need to know about getting Invisalign near you.

    Most Invisalign cases take 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections can finish in as little as 6 months, while more involved cases may take 12 to 18 months. Dr. Rivero will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.

    Invisalign is generally very comfortable. You may feel mild pressure or tenderness when you switch to a new set of aligners — that's the teeth moving — but it typically fades within a day or two. Most patients say Invisalign is significantly more comfortable than traditional braces.

    For best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. They're removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. The more consistently you wear them, the faster your treatment progresses.

    You'll want to remove your aligners for eating and for any drink other than water — that way the aligners stay clear and clean, and nothing stains them. That's actually one of the biggest advantages of Invisalign over braces: no food restrictions.

    Smile Art Dental Studio is located at 235 Walnut St, Framingham, MA 01702 — right off Route 9. We serve Invisalign patients from across the MetroWest area.

    Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to Invisalign. Our team will review your plan and help you understand what's covered. We also offer CareCredit financing and in-house payment plans so cost doesn't have to stand in the way of your smile.
