Modern Dental Care of Queens

Did you know that your smile can tell a lot about you? Not only it is an indication of your mood at the moment, it can give dentists a clue to your overall health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to such complications as oral and facial pain, gum disease and a variety of mouth infections that can affect major organs of the body.

That’s why practicing good oral hygiene and seeing a dentist regularly is so important for people of all ages. At our office our skilled professionals are dedicated to keeping your teeth and gums in tip-top shape.

Habits that promote good oral health:

1. Brush twice a day: Brush for at least two minutes, using fluoridated toothpaste.
2. Floss daily: It removes plaque from places your toothbrush can’t reach.
3. Replace your toothbrush: Do this every three months or when it appears warn.
4. Visit the dentist regularly for cleanings and exams. This is one of the most effective ways to detect the early signs of gum disease.
5. Limit soda, coffee and alcohol: Excess amounts can cause tooth decay.
6. Drink milk: Milk contains calcium, which strengthens teeth and builds stronger enamel.
7. Some carbs are okay: Despite their popularity, low-carb diets can cause bad breath. A balanced, dental-healthy diet can help reduce tooth decay.
8. Take a daily dose of vitamins C and D: These vitamins help support the absorption of healthy mouth minerals such as calcium and phosphorous, which support the bone and gum tissue, keeping it healthy. This is an easy way to maintain dental hygiene and fight gum disease.
9. Avoid cigarettes and smokeless tobacco: These are known to contribute to gum disease and oral cancer.

Did you know that according to statistics, more than 90% of adults ages 20-64 have had a cavity in their lifetime? And, tooth decay doesn’t just affect grownups. Cavities also affect the youngest members of the population; with 78% of children having had a cavity by the time they’re 17 years of age. While these percentages are alarmingly high, tooth decay is an almost entirely preventable condition. With routine checkups and care, our dentist can help reduce your risk of dental disease. At our office, we utilize the most advanced technology and methods of care to help patients of all ages enjoy optimal oral health.

Tooth decay is caused by plaque, which is a sticky biofilm that gathers continuously on your teeth. The problem is that plaque harbors thousands of colonies of bacteria, some of which are responsible for cavities and gum disease. While brushing, flossing and limiting your intake of sugar, are important steps for preventing any buildup of plaque and protecting your teeth from cavities, it’s also important to see your dentist for routine care. Plaque can gather in the difficult to reach areas between the teeth and gums where it can only be reached with a professional teeth cleaning. As part of our comprehensive program of preventive care, we thoroughly remove any residual plaque and tartar, and offer guidance as to how you can improve your daily oral hygiene at home. As an added level of protection against tooth decay, we offer pediatric patients periodic fluoride treatments, and dental sealants.

For patients of all ages, our dentist performs a comprehensive examination, assisted by advanced digital radiography, as needed. In this way, we can monitor the ongoing oral health of our patients. If a cavity is detected, our dentist will gently and precisely remove the decay, then restore the tooth with a dental filling. At our practice, we utilize the latest generation of tooth-colored restorative materials, for the most natural looking and seamless results of care.

So, you’ve lost a tooth. Now what to do? Anybody who has experienced the loss of a tooth whether due to injury, decay, or disease can tell you that it is a bit of a shock realizing there’s a gap in their mouth that not only looks strange, but feels strange too.

Take heart: a dental implant is one of the most popular and effective ways for you to reestablish a complete and beautiful smile. At our office, our experienced staff of professionals offers state-of-the-art care and will custom fit your dental implant to give you a fully restored and dazzling smile.

Dental implants offer a number of benefits to both your dental and overall health. Since a dental implant acts in much the same way as the root of your natural tooth, once it becomes fully integrated into the surrounding jawbone, it maintains bone structure, keeps adjacent teeth from occupying the missing space, and helps to preserve your normal facial contours. The biggest benefit of all is that dental implants come the closest — out of all the teeth replacement options available today — to replicating the natural look, feel, and function of natural teeth. By taking advantage of this advanced technology at our offices, you are restoring so much more than your teeth—you are renewing your confidence in your smile!

At our office, we offer a comprehensive range of dental services to meet the needs of every member of your family. Our reputation for excellence is based on providing experienced and compassionate care with an unparalleled level of skill to give our patients the very best treatment results.

According to the World Health Organization, 60-90% of children worldwide, and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. Although these numbers are alarmingly high, your risk of tooth decay is significantly lowered with proper oral care. At our office, we offer a comprehensive selection of preventive and dental services to help patients of all ages maintain optimal oral health.

Why a cavity develops and the importance of preventive care 

Cavities form when dental plaque is not consistently removed from around the teeth and gums. Your risk for tooth decay also increases if your diet is high in sugary sweets, acidic foods, and beverages, or if dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, and deeply grooved dental enamel are present.

As skilled and experienced providers of care, we emphasize the importance of dental prevention as the best way to maintain optimal oral health. We also encourage routine checkups to allow for the early detection and treatment of dental disease. While cavities are almost entirely preventable, it’s essential to treat any developing tooth decay early in its onset. In this way, further damage and more severe consequences to your oral health and overall well-being can be avoided.

Helping our patients maintain healthy smiles 

When you visit our office for a checkup, you can rest assured that your smile is in the best of hands. We employ the most advanced dental technology and techniques to carefully evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw for any sign of dental disease or developing problems. In addition to an assessment of your oral health, every exam performed by our dentist is accompanied by a thorough, professional teeth cleaning to remove any harmful accumulations of dental plaque or tartar that you may have missed while brushing or flossing. We’ll also review your home care routine and offer guidance as to how you can clean and care for your teeth more effectively between checkups.

Solutions to protect the health of your smile 

Although tooth decay is a widespread oral health concern, with periodic visits to our office, cavities can be prevented. At our office, we provide personalized, state-of-the-art solutions for all of your dental healthcare needs. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call today.

Dental care is important for every member of the family, and recent advances have made going to the dentist a more efficient, comfortable experience — and one with pleasing results. At our office, our practice remains current with the latest advances in care, offering a full range of leading-edge services for your continued oral health, from the highest quality cosmetic, and implant dental procedures, to the essentials in preventive, emergency and restorative dental care.  Among the quality treatment options we offer completely customized dental crowns that can be ready in as little as a single visit!

We recognize that every smile is just as unique as the individual to whom it belongs. Every restorative filling or custom crown that we offer is fabricated with the highest quality dental materials for superior performance, appearance and longevity. Whether your tooth requires restoration following treatment for decay, or you need full coverage dental crowns, we can produce the most seamless result for your smile.

In a typical scenario, restoring a tooth with a dental crown is multi-step process that takes time. A temporary crown is ordinarily placed, while the patient waits up to several weeks for the permanent crown to be fabricated at a dental laboratory. Once received, the patient returns for the permanent restoration. But with same-day crowns, we can design, fabricate and place your new crown in as little as a single visit to our office! Taking a digital scan of your teeth, we analyze the affected tooth using the latest digital modeling software. When the precise dimensions have been determined for your new crown, the design is relayed to our in-office milling machine for fabrication.

Dental care with a modern edge

Our team of professionals value your time, and we strive to provide solutions that are better suited to your busy lifestyle. At our office, we want to make your every visit to our office a positive, worry-free experience.

For experienced professionals who can diagnose and treat the precise underlying cause of your oral pain, visit our office. When it comes to oral healthcare, we are well prepared to provide treatment for a broad range of dental issues, whether you’re in need of a restorative procedure or a root canal therapy.

Persistent oral pain is commonly the result of issues occurring deep inside a tooth, at the inner, nerve level. Because the central region of the tooth is its vital area, it’s of the utmost importance that you see a dentist when sensitivity or acute discomfort develops. Although the enamel of your teeth is the hardest substance in the human body, there are a variety of circumstances that can lead to the delicate center of a tooth becoming compromised. Dental decay, commonly known by its result—cavities—can continue burrowing into a tooth if left untreated. With deep decay, the vital tissue of the tooth can become exposed to bacteria and subsequent infection.

With a root canal, a dental infection can be treated, the discomfort of a toothache alleviated and subsequent damage to your oral health prevented. Throughout the course of your root canal procedure our dentist and staff will keep you informed and at ease, addressing any anxiety or concerns that may arise during treatment. Following the procedure, we may recommend placing a dental crown over your treated tooth, to help strengthen and protect it, and to restore its function and appearance. A tooth that has been treated with a root canal can remain healthy and functional throughout your life.

The essential part of a great smile starts with bright white teeth. These days, procedures have become a relatively easy way to instantly improve aesthetics, create a positive first impression, and achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. At our office, our trained staff is highly skilled in performing professional teeth whitening techniques to help you look your very best.

It’s no secret that life can do a number on your teeth. Despite your best efforts of brushing and flossing regularly, food, drink, advancing years, tobacco use — even some medications — can stain and discolor teeth, giving them an unattractive, yellowish brown appearance.

Professional teeth whitening offers several advantages over OTC teeth whitening products: it’s easier and more convenient for the patient and produces better, more long-lasting results. The process is relatively simple and takes anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Whitening products contain one of two tooth bleaches that break stains into smaller pieces, making the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter. Once the optimum shade has been reached, the teeth are rinsed, and a fluoride may then be applied to help ease any tooth sensitivity.

Keep in mind that whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, whitening will not work on caps, veneers, crowns or fillings. It also may not be effective if tooth discoloration is caused by certain medications or tooth injury. That’s why it’s important to speak with your doctor to see if the procedure is right of you.
