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.

Arestin

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.

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.
