Dentist recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a dentist who's good at dealing with damaged and worn teeth? Someone who's up on all the current treatment techniques?
Places that require driving would still count as accessible in this case. Near Davis is ideal, but anywhere inside the I-95 loop could work.
Bonus points for Covid-safe with air purifiers.

My spouse and I have been getting regular cleanings (and other work as needed) from Restorative Dental Group in Cambridge for 15+ years, and like them a lot. I'm not sure what their current COVID practices are, but they've historically been quite good.

I have been going to Paul Schick since back when he was in Davis. He's now located in Medford Center. Have been pretty happy with his COVID policies.

I've been going to Dental Services on Mass Ave between Harvard and Porter squares for years for regular sorts of dental work and have been happy with them.

If you're looking for state of the art treatment that can handle unusual cases, Tufts Dental School has an associated dental clinic over in downtown Boston near New England Medical Center and the theater district. I've used it a few times and they've been great. (To be clear, it's not, like, intern dentists running wild with drills a week after starting classes - it's a combination of dental faculty and advanced dental students who are working under close supervision after lots of training.)

I know someone who had a whole lot of work done to great effect down in Quincy at Quincy Smile Center but I don't have any personal knowledge of the practice.

I don't know what the current state of COVID protocols are for any of the above.

I don't have any recommendations, but I can recommend avoiding Dental Arts in Davis Square. Too many sketchy experiences there.
