Veneers at New York Dental Studio

If you’re unhappy with the way your smile looks, you don’t have to live with it. Veneers are an effective method for reshaping and redesigning your smile in New York, NY. Whether your teeth have gaps, persistent stains, cracks, chips or other issues, these thin, porcelain shells can cover the existing tooth structure in your mouth to give you a smile you will be proud to show off.

Having veneers placed usually only takes two to three visits to our office. During the first visit, you will discuss the shape and look of the smile you want to accomplish with Dr. Brandon Huang. Then the dentist will prepare your teeth for the upcoming veneers.

Once the enamel has been prepared, an impression will be taken of your mouth so that the veneers can be fabricated to fit over your existing teeth. Once they are completed, the veneers are bonded to your teeth to create an attractive smile that both looks good and feels natural. With proper home care and the help of Dr. Huang, you can enjoy your new smile for 5 to 10 years before the veneers should be replaced.

JUVÉDERM®, Restylane® and Perlane Derma Fillers

Our office does more than just take care of our patients’ teeth; Dr. Brandon Huang helps patients feel truly confident about their smiles by providing facial rejuvenation procedures. With derma fillers, he can help you look as young as you feel in New York, NY.

If you’re looking to restore some of the volume and fullness to your skin, we can help with JUVÉDERM®, Restylane® and Perlane. Used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas, from smile lines and marionette lines to vertical lip lines, these fillers decrease the appearance of wrinkles and restore youthful contours. Able to remove several years off of patients’ faces, the fillers use hyaluronic acid, a hydrating substance that occurs naturally in healthy skin. Hyaluronic acid decreases naturally as you age and are exposed to sunlight and other factors. As it decreases, your skin begins to lose structure and volume, which creates facial wrinkles and folds, like those made around your nose and mouth.

JUVÉDERM® is the only FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid filler that can give you smooth and natural-looking results that can last up to an entire year, and it only takes one session! This makes it one of the most popular cosmetic procedures at New York Dental Studio.

However, all these products can add skin fullness for those with moderate facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines that run from your nose to the corner of your mouth (nasiolabial folds). Although Perlane is preferred for correction if your wrinkles are more severe, while Restylane can also be used to for fine lines and medium wrinkles.

Metal vs. White Filings

There are two main types of fillings, which help treat cavities in our patients, including metal and white fillings. When comparing metal vs. white fillings, it often comes down to personal preference, as there are pros and cons of each variety. Metal amalgam fillings are the traditional type of fillings, which have been around for over 100 years. They are made from a combination of metals, including mercury, tin, silver, copper and zinc. This makes a very durable and strong filling, but many of our patients don’t like the shiny, metal appearance of the filling. We also offer white fillings, which are made to look just like the natural tooth with tooth-colored composite resin.

 

The benefits of metal fillings include being less expensive, nearly always covered by dental insurance and no extra technology is needed for the fillings. The process is also quicker because no color matching needs to be performed, like with white fillings. The material is also stronger than white fillings and does not need to be replaced as often.

 

With white fillings, patients benefit from a filling looking just like their natural tooth and appearing more natural, the tooth being less sensitive to hot and cold temperatures with the filling and not containing any mercury. There are some heavy debates about the fact that metal amalgam fillings contain a small amount of mercury and making white fillings a safe alternative.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a dental specialty that helps patients to improve the appearance of their teeth. Dr. Brandon Huang offers our patients a variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures that whiten the teeth, cover imperfections and provide a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

 

Cosmetic dentistry is important because it helps patients feel more confident and smile more. In addition to these benefits, some of these cosmetic procedures protect the patient’s teeth, which helps save their natural teeth and avoid more involved dental procedures, like needing implants or partials, later on.

 

Here at New York Dental Studio, we provide multiple cosmetic dentistry options, including:

• Veneers
• Teeth Whitening
• Bonding
• Inlays and Onlays

Veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded over the patient’s teeth to improve their appearance and hide staining, gaps or misaligned teeth. Bonding is a type of filling that corrects any gaps or cracks in the teeth or in between them. Teeth whitening offered in our office gives our patients whiter teeth by up to 6-10 shades. Inlays and onlays are types of crowns, also known as partial crowns. They help teeth restore their strength and shape.

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.

Root Canals

Root Canals

Among the dental specialties provided by our dentist, Dr. Brandon Huang, endodontics is one of the most important. Endodontics is a specialty in the dentistry field that treats the nerves and roots of the teeth.

 

The primary procedure performed under endodontics is a root canal. Root canals help us remove infected tissue in the nerves and roots of the teeth to help treat an infection and save the tooth. The only alternative to a root canal is extracting the tooth, which then requires a bridge or implant. Most patients prefer going through a root canal procedure.

 

To perform a root canal, we numb the area, then drill a small hole into the tooth to reach the canal. A special tool is used to remove the infected nerves and roots, and the tooth is filled with a material called gutta percha. In about 2-3 weeks, the patient returns to our office to be fitted for a crown. This is necessary because after a root canal, the tooth is dead and is susceptible to breaking.

 

While a seemingly intimidating procedure, root canals are routine and are done in about 45 minutes to an hour. Call us here at New York Dental Studio at 212-588-1809 with any questions you have about root canals.
