Dr. Amparo M. David and her staff are extremely committed to understanding the unique needs of each of her patients, and strive for perfection with each of them. Dr. David is a General Dentist. She takes great pride in providing the best that dentistry has to offer and continues to hone her skills formally to provide an expertise unsurpassed in Massachusetts.
Dr. David’s philosophy is to treat a person’s overall health rather than focusing on only the specific symptoms that her patients present. With every new patient, Dr. David dedicates part of her day to meet with them one-on-one to share her philosophy of comprehensive dentistry while ensuring that she understands what is important to them. She also enjoys this time to get to know more about her patients and encourage them to take an active role in their overall medical and dental health.
Education
Dr. David received her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University in 1999, where she graduated with honors. She completed a mini-residency in Temporal Mandibular Disorders at the Tufts School of Dental Medicine, and has completed courses of the Seattle Institute for Advanced Dental Studies.
TMJ and Sleep Education and Training
Dr. David began her journey to become an expert in TMJ and Sleep over 20 years ago when her father was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and could not tolerate a CPAP machine. While at her father’s doctor appointment, it came to her that she needed to find a way to help him with his sleep apnea and she pushed herself to learn more to able to help him! As a result, she was not only to help him but thousands of patients with many dentists referring their patients to her.
Dr. David is a “unicorn” having completed the rigorous requirements to become a Diplomate in the prestigious American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, the American Academy of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and the American College of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry, and is one of 200 Diplomates in the entire country!
She is the Director of the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of New England and one of the original 20 centers that are part of TMJ & Sleep Therapy International, one of 72 centers in the world of a growing network of forward-thinking, like-minded visionaries that recognize and treat each patient as a unique individual and strive to improve their quality of life on patient at a time. Dr. David has treated and consulted with thousands of patients for TMJ & Sleep.
Advanced Technologies and Innovations
There are a multitude of technologies that are deployed at the office to help our patients and given Dr. David’s goal to be an “early adopter” of technologies that can benefit her patients, she was an early adopter of lasers both to treat TMJ pain and to treat airway issues for her patients. Given her deep background in airway laser therapy, Fotona Laser has contracted with Dr. David to provide classroom instruction to other dentists within her office.
Speaking and Education
Dr. David is a respected speaker on TMJ and sleep disorders, frequently presenting at events such as Yankee Dental and various dental societies. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge with fellow dental professionals across the world as part of continuing education programs.
Orthodontic/Airway Education and Training
Dr. David understands the links between sleep apnea and snoring, and jaw problems and has been an early practitioner of airway dentistry. Airway dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating issues related to the airway, especially those that affect breathing during sleep. Dr. David leverages a variety of specialized techniques and devices to help improve airflow, enhance sleep quality, and promote overall health. Dr. David has developed her expertise of tools and treatments over the last two decades and collaborates with a community of practitioners that are also focused on how they can help improve their patient’s quality of life.

Beautiful experience. My third child, was my first with ties. Dr. Kaplan took his time showing me images of my sons ties and explaining them to me so I understood them more. He also made the atmosphere very comfortable! We had all 3 ties released (tongue, lip, and cheek) done in about 10 minutes. Dr. Kaplan checked in with me about 5 minutes after the procedure and explained everything to me about follow up appointments with lactation and chiro and how to massage my babies mouth post-op. Highly recommend for infant tie issues!

Dr. David is by far one of the most compassionate dentists I have ever met. Dr. David and her team have a thirst for knowledge and are constantly furthering their education. I would highly recommend the TMJ & Sleep Centre of New England if you have any TMJ/Sleep needs.

I have only been for initial exam and consultation, so this review is for that. I love the office. They have great technology and a nice ambiance if you can believe it. Pretty rare to find a dentist with nice views but I had beautiful trees to look at outside the window while I sat in the chair. The tech and dentist were so caring and really listened to me and took their time to make me feel at ease. I have had some less than savory and even traumatic experiences at other dentists , I can say that I feel very comfortable and trusting with Dr David. I think she is a brilliant doctor who really cares about people and looks at the whole picture , not just your teeth. I’m happy I found her and ready to start my treatment plan. This is by far not the cheapest dentist but I only have one set of teeth, so trusting myself to the best.
