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.
