Editorial Guidelines

Last Updated: September 2026

Newton Smile Centre is committed to providing dental health information that is accurate, current, and reviewed by licensed dental professionals. This page explains how we create, review, and maintain the content on our website.

Who Writes and Reviews Our Content

All clinical and treatment-related content on this website is reviewed by one of our licensed, practicing dentists:

  • Dr. Walid Benaissa, DMD — Founder of Newton Smile Centre. Doctorate of Dental Medicine, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (2004). Completed the Maxicourse at New York University College of Dentistry, with advanced training in occlusion, dental implant restoration, and full-mouth reconstruction. Member of the American Dental Association, the Massachusetts Dental Society, the American Academy of Group Dental Practices, and the Dawson Academy continuing education program.
  • Dr. Talar Kiladjian, DMD — Doctorate of Dental Medicine, Boston University School of Dental Medicine. Certified Invisalign provider with training in CEREC same-day crown technology. Member of the American Dental Association and the Massachusetts Dental Society.

Our review team reads new and updated pages before publication to confirm the information reflects current, accepted dental practice.

Our Review Process

Every page describing a dental condition, treatment, or procedure follows the same process before it goes live:

  • Drafting: Content is written by our marketing team using established dental health sources and our own practice’s clinical standards.
  • Clinical Review: A reviewing dentist reads the content for medical accuracy and confirms it reflects how our practice actually delivers care.
  • Revision: Any inaccuracies or outdated information identified during review are corrected before the page is published.
  • Ongoing Updates: Pages are periodically revisited to keep information current with evolving dental practice standards.

Sources We Rely On

When describing general dental health information, we reference recognized authorities in dentistry and public health, including the American Dental Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and peer-reviewed dental literature. Where a specific source informs a claim, we link to it directly within the page.

What This Website Is — and Isn’t

The content on this website is intended to help patients understand dental conditions and treatment options in general terms. It is not a substitute for an in-person evaluation by a licensed dentist. Every patient’s oral health needs are different, and treatment recommendations are only made after an examination at our office. For more detail on how this site’s content should and shouldn’t be used, see our Disclaimer.
