Porcelain Crowns

Here at New York Dental Studio, we provide crowns of all different types, including porcelain crowns. The porcelain crown is made up entirely of the strong and appealing ceramic material and is fabricated to look just like the patient’s natural teeth. There are restorative and aesthetic benefits to choosing porcelain crowns as opposed to metal or porcelain fused to metal crowns.

 

There are a variety of benefits to getting porcelain crowns, including:

• They are more natural looking and feel like natural teeth.
• The color can match that of your natural teeth.
• They are extremely durable and strong.
• Porcelain crowns protect natural teeth and keep them intact.
• They are stain resistant.
• Porcelain crowns are low maintenance, only needing regular brushing and flossing.
• They function just like natural teeth.

Our patients get porcelain crowns for covering imperfections of their teeth, as well as protecting their tooth from being broken or cracked. Porcelain is the most stable and flawless material available for dental crowns, allowing for the most natural appearance.

 

To determine if porcelain crowns are a great option for your smile makeover, schedule a consultation with Dr. Brandon Huang at 212-588-1809 to discuss your options.

Arestin

Fighting the advanced form of gum disease, called periodontal disease, can be difficult when patients have a lot of bacteria lying underneath their gums. This bacteria builds and can infect the sensitive gum tissue.

 

A common procedure performed here at the New York Dental Studio for this plaque beneath the gumline is root scaling and planing, but the infection may return without antibiotics. That is why we use Arestin, a strong type of antibiotic that battles infection in the pockets of the gums.

 

The basic procedure for Arestin is as follows:

1. Root scaling and planing is performed first, which removes bacteria and plaque from below the gumline.

2. The Arestin antibiotic is then applied into the pockets of the gums where they are infected.

3.Arestin starts working quickly and continues fighting off infection for the next 30 days.

 

Arestin comes in a powder form, making it easy for our dentist Dr. Brandon Huang to apply it to the pockets of the gums after completing root scaling and planing. It keeps the infection from spreading and prevents it from coming back.

 

To learn more about the benefits of periodontal treatment with Arestin, call our East 50th Street New York, NY office at (212) 588-1809.

Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygiene

Proper dental hygiene is very important to us here at New York Dental Studio, which is why we encourage all of our patients to pay close attention to their oral health. Oral hygiene not only affects dental health, but the patient’s overall health as well.

 

With regular home care, our patients can have teeth that are free of debris and bacteria, better smelling breath, and healthier teeth overall. It helps them battle gum disease, infection, and prevents possible procedures as a result of tooth decay.

 

We recommend the following practices for dental hygiene and periodontal health:

• Brush their teeth twice a day, for at least two minutes each time.
• Floss their teeth at least once a day.
• Use toothpaste and mouthwash that contains fluoride.
• Eat a healthy diet with minimal snacks and sugar-filled choices.
• Drink plenty of water and decreasing soda, coffee and wine.
• Visit us twice a year for a check-up and professional cleaning

With these simple daily practices, patients stand to have a healthier mouth and better overall health. They are taking good care of their teeth in between visits, and seeing us regularly to assess the health of their mouth and provide more education for good dental hygiene. Visit Dr. Brandon Huang in New York, NY to keep your oral health in tip-top shape.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays

Restorative dental procedures are provided here at New York Dental Studio, which include inlays and onlays. These types of restorative procedures are completed using composite resin, and similar to a partial crown. It is the same basic procedure as fitting a crown, except they do not cover the tooth fully. Patients who want to cover decay or get fillings, have discoloration or staining, or have damage to their tooth from a crack or chip, benefit from inlays and onlays.

 

Inlays are placed inside the cusp of the tooth, while outlays are on the outside of the tooth. The basic procedure for inlays and onlays in our practice goes as follows:

 

1. Decayed parts of the tooth are first removed, as well as any infected areas.

2. The tooth is cleaned and sterilized thoroughly.

3. An impression is made of the tooth and sent to a dental lab. Temporary restorations are available.

4. In two weeks, patients return to have the inlay or onlay bonded to their tooth.

 

If you are in need of inlays or onlays, call our dentist Dr. Brandon Huang at 212-588-1809 to schedule an appointment.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays

Here at New York Dental Studio, we provide a wide range of dental services and utilize modern technology. Our technology includes digital x-rays, which provide more detailed and effective images of the mouth, teeth and other structures, with less radiation than traditional x-rays.

 

Our patients find digital x-rays to be a more comfortable and quick procedure and prefer them over other bitewing x-rays. Patients need to get x-rays performed about once a year, or more often if they are having a dental problem and need a diagnosis.

 

Benefits of getting images with digital x-rays include the following:

• Up to 80 percent less radiation for digital x-rays.
• Less chemicals used in the office.
• X-ray images that are processed more quickly.
• The ability to adjust the images for better diagnosis.

Even the smell of our office is more pleasing to patients, because it doesn’t have that strong chemical smell. It makes young and old patients feel more at ease when they arrive for their appointment. If you need to get x-rays done, visit Dr. Brandon Huang in New York, NY for a full set of digital x-ray.

Bridges

Bridges

Missing teeth are unfortunately something many of our patients experience. There are many causes of missing teeth, such as trauma, decay that led to breaking down of the tooth, a tooth that was weakened after a root canal and broke off, or one that was extracted for one reason or another. It is important to get a tooth replaced, not just for cosmetic purposes. With a missing tooth, the patient is at risk of teeth shifting and bone loss.

 

Bridges are one of the options we at New York Dental Studio provide for missing teeth. It uses two crowns to cover the adjacent teeth, which are required to hold the bridge in place. A tooth called a pontic is made for the area of the missing tooth. The pontic and crown look as similar to natural teeth as possible, and made to match the shade of the patient’s other teeth. These are all bonded to the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth for the bridge. It lasts on average ten years for most of our patients.

 

It can take some time getting used to the bridges, but before too long, patients chew on it just like their other teeth. Call Dr. Brandon Huang at 212-588-1809 to schedule an appointment for bridges.

Bonding

Bonding

Patients that are not happy with their smile have options when it comes to restoring it. One of the options we provide here in our New York, NY dental practice is bonding.

 

Bonding is one of the simpler procedures to improve the appearance of teeth, including covering up staining, filling a cavity with a tooth-colored material, and fixing gaps or spaces in the teeth. Bonding is done using composite resin, which can be mixed to any shade to match the natural teeth. It hardens with an LED light, so the process is quick and easy.

 

Here are the basic steps to getting bonding performed by Dr. Brandon Huang:

 

1. The teeth to be treated are cleaned thoroughly to remove any plaque or decay.

2. The surface of the teeth are prepared by being scuffed and possibly filed down. This process helps the composite resin material adhere better.

3. The bonding resin is mixed by our dentist, matching the color to the patient’s natural tooth.

4. The composite resin material is painted on the tooth and left to dry using an LED light. It is then polished once dry.

 

To restore your smile using a simple and effective bonding procedure, visit New York Dental Studio.
