Overall Oral Health

Overall Oral Health


Here at New York Dental Studio, we aim to improve our patient’s overall oral health with proper dental education and encouraging them to visit us on a regular basis. Dr. Brandon Huang recommends patients visit us at least every six months for their routine cleaning and check-up, as this helps us find problems early and offer the best possible treatment. It improves our patient’s oral health and their health overall, as dental health can affect many different parts of the body.


During biannual visits, we will begin by examining your face and neck and checking your lymph nodes and jaw joints. We will also examine your gums, teeth, and the tissues inside your mouth. An oral cancer screening is also included in these routine dental visits. X-rays are often taken during the twice-yearly exams, though not always. We finish the appointment with a professional dental cleaning and recommendations for treatments if we notice any issues with your dental health.


Schedule your appointment with Dr. Huang by calling us at 212-588-1809 or booking your appointment online.

Root Canals

Root Canals


Endodontics is performed here at New York Dental Studio as a dental specialty that includes procedures involving the nerves of the teeth. Root canals are one of the most common types of endodontic procedures performed in our New York, NY dental office. Root canals allow Dr. Brandon Huang to remove an infection from inside the tooth, where it has reached deep into the nerves and root of the tooth. It is a minor procedure that helps the patient save their tooth and avoid issues with bone loss.


Root canals have notoriously received a bad reputation because patients think that they will be in severe discomfort while undergoing a root canal. That is simply not the case anymore. Thanks to advanced techniques, state-of-the-art instruments and local anesthetic, it is a virtually painless process for our patients.


After the root canal is complete, patients are asked to return for a temporary crown. Two weeks later, a permanent crown is bonded to their tooth, which can last a very long time. It is important that our patients get the permanent crown, as their tooth is at risk of breaking following the root canal. If you’ve been recommended to have a root canal, don’t delay seeking treatment out of anxiety. Call us today at (212) 588-1809 to discuss the root canal procedure and process to set your mind at ease before your appointment.

Juvederm

Juvederm


Aside from essential dental procedures and popular cosmetic dental practices, New York Dental Studio also offers help for patients who have signs of facial aging. Whether it is smile lines or parentheses, skin fillers can create a more youthful appearance. Our patients can choose from a number of skin fillers, including Juvederm, which is a type of facial filler that helps restore the volume and smoothness of their skin.


Juvederm is an injectable facial filler that reduces the lines of wrinkles, skin folds and sinking skin. It is made from a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the tendons, skin and muscles of mammals. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use as a facial filler and is provided by our dentist, Dr. Brandon Huang. Patients receive this injectable facial filler in 15 minutes or less right here in our New York, NY practice.


There is a short recovery time for Juvederm and very little sensitivity after the procedure is complete. It can be injected in multiple spots of the face, depending where the patient has the most trouble. It is commonly used for the corners of the mouth and nose, the cheeks, the lips and near the eyes. Call us at (212) 588-1809 to learn more about how skin fillers, including Juvederm, can help lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles and depressions.

White Fillings

White Fillings


Here at New Your Dental Studio, we provide our patients with a safe, beautiful and modern solution to unsightly metal amalgam fillings. White fillings are comprised of metal-free composite resign that is very indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel. They offer a number of benefits for patients who need to fill a cavity or would like to update old amalgam fillings, including:



  • Structural integrity that doesn’t expand or contract in response to hot and cold temperatures. This minimizes tooth sensitivity and the possibility of breakage.

  • A discreet and versatile appearance that allows them to be used even in highly visible part of the mouth.

  • A less invasive filling process that typically requires less of the tooth structure to be removed.


If you are ready to update your old fillings, or you suspect you may have a cavity that’s in need of care, arrange an appointment with us here at New Your Dental Studio and learn more about what our white filling capabilities can do for you.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants


Need a tooth replaced or restored in full? Here at New York Dental Studio, we provide dental implants to recomplete and enhance our patients’ smiles.  They serve as a realistic and long lasting restorative solution for teeth that have been extracted, accidentally lost or severely damaged.

Dental implants are as close as you can come to turning back the clock on a tooth. They provide a real look and feel that exceeds the results of surface prosthetics like bridges and full dentures. Since dental implants are rooted directly in the jaw, there’s no need for external framework or to modify healthy teeth to serve as support. They also require no special maintenance beyond proper brushing, flossing and regular dental checkups.


Dental implants offer a range of other benefits. To find out if they’re right for you, please arrange a consultation with us here at New York Dental Studio.

Invisalign

Invisalign


You’ve wanted to cosmetically straighten your smile but you don’t want to commit to the appearance and lifestyle changes that are needed to accommodate braces or other traditional orthodontics. You want a more aesthetic tooth alignment, but you also want an option that is discreet, comfortable and flexible.  Invisalign may be the answer for you.  We provide Invisalign treatments to many of our patients here at New York Dental Studio.


The clear, flexible plastic tooth aligners are designed to incrementally adjust the alignment of your teeth while remaining indistinguishable and comfortable to wear.  You can easily remove Invisalign for meals, cleaning and brushing and flossing. This treatment is advantageous for adults and teens who would prefer to avoid the appearance and habit modification needed during traditional orthodontic treatments.


If you’d like to correct cosmetic alignment issues and you think Invisalign may be for you, we welcome you to New York Dental Studio and look forward to addressing all of your Invisalign treatment questions and concerns.
