Root Canals

Root Canals
Root canals, while sounding scary, are a necessary procedure for those whose teeth become infected in the nerves. Besides causing pain, infections, if left untreated, can become abscesses, which are much more serious and can involve bone loss in the jaw. Here at New York Dental Studio, Dr. Brandon Huang can relieve your pain with a root canal.
 
Although root canals do not sound pleasant, they are well worth it to stop your pain and improve your oral health. While there may be a little soreness after the procedure, it is only temporary and usually nothing over-the-counter painkillers cannot take care of.
 
During a root canal, Dr. Huang removes the infection by applying a local anesthetic to the area and drilling into the tooth to create an opening in the canal. Then he will be able to remove the infected tissue and clean the area. Once the infection has been removed, your tooth will be filled with gutta percha, a sealant, and then fitted with a crown to protect from further infection. The crown also helps improve its appearance.  
 
Once the procedure is complete, you will be able to eat without experiencing pain and sensitivity that comes from heat, cold and biting too hard. If you’re in pain, you don’t need to be. Call 212-588-1809 to schedule an appointment. You can also request and appointment through www.NewYorkDentalStudio.com

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.

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.
