What Sets Zwell Apart

Our Outstanding Dental Team

Combining Creativity & Expertise In Dentistry

Alison Seliger-Schamberg, DMD

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by both science and art. A lifetime of study and exploration in both realms has evolved into a passion for dentistry. My deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world gives me the perfect context for understanding and creating beautiful dentistry. I delight in creating esthetic natural-looking dental restorations, and restoring both form and function to my patients' teeth.

Creating beautiful smiles is my craft, but the relationships I develop with my patients give this work meaning. Each patient's perspective is different, as are their oral health care needs. I honor this individuality by taking the time to listen carefully to each patient, and develop personalized treatment recommendations to address their specific goals.

All of our team members at Zwell Dental work together to create a safe and welcoming environment. We value high integrity and treat all of our patients with a gentle touch. We also recognize that dental health is just one aspect of your total body's health and wellness, and are interested in exploring the many connections between your oral and total body health. Our team looks forward to supporting and empowering you to reach your happiest and healthiest goals.

EXCEPTIONAL PROSTHODONTIST

Tien Jiang, DMD, MEd

I am inspired by the artistry and creativity in dentistry. In my work as a Prosthodontist, I use my own artistic skills and perception to create beautiful, functional dental restorations. As a Prosthodontist, I take a comprehensive approach to restoring the oral function, comfort, and esthetics of patients with complex dental needs. By spending the time to get to know my patients and their goals I develop detailed plans for their comprehensive dental care.

I focus not only on my patients' oral health, but also on the relationships that we form and the stories that my patients share. I take my patients' whole body health into consideration and have a special focus on dental-medical connections and nutrition. As a dedicated teacher of both dentists and patients, I enjoy working as a team to develop goals for healthy teeth and healthy habits.

HIGHLY SKILLED PERIODONTIST

Erica Kleinbaum, DMD

As a Periodontist, my goal is to achieve a strong oral health foundation - or create one for you - with the latest technologies, techniques, and collaboration. Your gum and bone health are the foundation of a healthy smile, and it is the stability of this foundation that can carry us through all of life’s memories - meals, emotions and overall health. When periodontal diseases and conditions compromise our teeth, it is imperative that we explore solutions for restoring bone, gum and teeth for optimal function, esthetics and comfort.

As a Periodontist, one of my favorite aspects of my career is building a relationship with patients and educating them about tooth and bone loss. I am eager to be alongside my patients for the journey. My approach is to start gradually, get patients out of pain and discomfort, and develop a long-term plan that involves collaboration and input from the entire dental team. Teamwork and communication are the backbone to successful treatment in dentistry.

My work as a faculty member in the Periodontics Department at Tufts School of Dental Medicine allows me to stay abreast of the latest techniques and research in Periodontics, while also passing along my passions about soft tissue management, soft and hard tissue grafting, dental implants, and all things oral health!

committed to excellence

Jacquelyn Chou, DMD

As a Board-certified Endodontist, I work with patients who have teeth which have been compromised by infection or injury. By providing root canal therapy, I help to alleviate pain and preserve my patients’ teeth. I am an advocate for evidence-based dentistry, and I incorporate clinically proven techniques and modern technologies - such as 3D imaging - into my practice.

Root canals are frequently viewed as being daunting and scary, but I aim to transform the experience into one in which my patients feel heard, supported, and at ease. I am committed to creating a welcoming environment where my patients can openly discuss any questions or concerns that they may have. It is my hope that the process will be as pleasant as possible!

Being an Endodontist allows me to improve my patients’ health and quality of life. It is a privilege to be a part of my patients’ journeys towards healthier smiles!

Practice Manager & COO

Michelle Seliger-Schamberg, MPH

I am passionate about improving health outcomes through patient-centered design. In my role at Zwell Dental, I support patients with all administrative and logistical aspects of their dental care. As Practice Manager, I work closely with patients to coordinate their appointments, explain treatment processes, and explore financial options.

In addition to working directly with patients, I also manage business operations and implement innovative practice strategies to facilitate continuity of safe, high quality care. Through my public health education and research, I am acutely aware that many people face hurdles in accessing quality health care. In my own experiences as a patient, I know that navigating healthcare systems can be complicated and confusing. I am here to ensure that dental care delivery at Zwell Dental is organized, seamless, and worry-free!
