About
A practice quietly built around the patient.
Our philosophy
For nearly half a century, Prudential Dental Associates has cared for patients on the seventh floor of 575 Boylston Street, in the center of Back Bay. The address is part of the practice — quiet, considered, easy to reach from anywhere in greater Boston.
We are an independent practice, which means we move at the pace of the person in the chair. Visits are unhurried. Treatment is explained, never assumed. We do not lecture about flossing.
Our work spans general dentistry, cosmetic refinement, implants, and Invisalign — all delivered under one roof, by clinicians who know each other and your file.
Lead Dentist · Founder
Dr. Hamasat Gheddaf Dam, DMD
Dr. Gheddaf Dam has practiced dentistry in Boston for more than twenty years. Her work has been recognized seven times by Boston Magazine's Best of Boston, named Top Dentist in 2019, 2020, and 2022, and featured in Vogue Magazine.
As an Invisalign Blue Diamond Provider, she is among the top one percent of Invisalign clinicians nationally — a distinction earned through volume, but also through outcomes.
Her approach is calm and unhurried. New patients often tell us it's the first time they have left a dental office without dreading the next appointment. That, more than any award, is the practice she wanted to build.
Our Doctors
