The Best Way To Prepare for Veneers

admin — Sun, 28 Oct 2018 01:02:07 +0000

At Advanced Dental Care, we believe in providing our patients with the best cosmetic dentistry in Brooklyn. This is why we offer porcelain veneers to improve your smile’s aesthetic and do complete dental makeovers. In addition, we make extensive efforts to provide our patients with up-to-date treatment information. When it comes to preparing for porcelain veneers, there are a few things patient could keep in mind before going in for their treatment. Today, our team is going to outline these in order to give you the best veneers experience possible!

General Info About Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of ceramic that are fixed to the fronts of a patient’s teeth. When in place, porcelain veneers are able to mask stains, chips, cracks, and various sorts of alignment and spacing issues.

The best thing about veneers in Brooklyn is that they are semi-translucent, which means that light is able to pass through them in a similar way as natural tooth structure. In other words, no one will realize that you have a porcelain veneer there.

Why Prepare for Veneers?

While porcelain veneers are very thin, some of your tooth enamel will be removed in order to accommodate the veneer. This helps ensure the most seamless and aesthetically pleasing results possible. Less than 1 millimeter of the tooth’s enamel will be removed in order to accommodate the veneer, and great care is taken to ensure that as much of the patient’s natural tooth structure remains as possible.

What To Expect

Local anesthetic may be used during the preparation process in order to reduce discomfort. Most of our veneer patients report not feeling a thing, or slight discomfort at most.

After cleaning the teeth, your dentist will work carefully to remove a very small amount of the tooth enamel in order to accommodate the porcelain veneer. An impression will then be taken of the prepped tooth or teeth. It is from this impression that your porcelain veneer will be custom-crafted. The impression is sent to an off-site dental lab for creation of the dental restoration. In the meantime, you will be given temporary veneers that mimic your natural teeth, just as your final veneers will.

Who Are Good Candidates for Teeth Whitening?

admin — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 17:20:42 +0000

Teeth whitening in Brooklyn is quickly becoming a popular treatment option for patients of all ages. Social media challenges and campaigns such as the Zoom Whitening Challenge have boosted this treatment’s exposure, and simultaneously its popularity. However, some patients are better candidates for whitening than others. Today, the team at Advanced Dental Care of NYC is going to break down how to tell if you’re a good whitening candidate, and how to better position yourself for whitening if you’re not.

General Guidelines for Candidates

The best candidates for teeth whitening are people with extrinsic dental stains. They should have good overall oral health and have realistic expectations about the teeth whitening process and its side effects. The most common side effect of teeth whitening is tooth sensitivity, which is generally mild and only lasts for two or three days. Realistic expectations means greater chances of patient satisfaction.

It’s also important that patients are free from tooth decay or damage. Damage can refer to chipping or cracking.

Alternative to Teeth Whitening

If a patient happens to not be a good candidate for teeth whitening, there are plenty of other options to consider that can help brighten your smile!

When tooth discoloration comes as a result of decay or damage, the use of restorative treatments such as a filling, an inlay, or a crown may be most ideal. These restorations care custom-tailored to your own tooth color, allowing them to seamlessly blend in with your teeth!

For major stains that do not respond well to teeth whitening, it may be possible to use a tooth bonding resin or to place a porcelain veneer. Both of these can mask the stain and make your smile more pristine!

During your consultation at Advanced Dental Care, our team will always cover all of your treatment options so that you can get the smile that you’ve always wanted.

The Biggest Dentistry Myth – Debunked

admin — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 01:20:32 +0000

At Advanced Dental Care of NYC, we pride ourselves on creating a relaxing, pain-free environment for our patients. In fact, almost all of our patients report not feeling any pain or discomfort whatsoever! (See our Google reviews ). However, it comes as no surprise that the vast majority of people haven’t yet realized the reality of modern dentistry, and that all types of dental treatments can now be performed completely pain-free. The dominant narrative still seems to be that dentistry must be synonymous with pain and discomfort. Today, our team would like to dispel this dental myth, and break down why dentistry today is almost entirely pain and discomfort-free!

Sedation Dentistry

One of the largest benefit of today’s dentistry is the advancement of sedation technologies. For procedures like extractions and implants, today’s patients can enjoy the benefits of sedation dentistry. If requested, patients can even be completely sedated throughout their treatment. In addition, localized sedations remove all possible pain and discomfort in the area being operated in.

Attention to Care and Precision

At Advanced Dental Care, our team pays especially close attention to the care and precision that goes into all of our dental treatments. We believe that pain-free dentistry is the only type of dentistry appropriate, and an attention to detail is mandatory in ensuring this. If you’d like to see our own procedures for ensuring a speedy and pain-free recovery after treatment, click here!

As always, if you have any questions regarding the treatments here at Advanced Dental Care of NYC, or want to schedule an appointment, get in touch with us here, or call our office directly at (347) 535-3269!

What To Do When You Require Multiple Dental Treatments

admin — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 01:09:27 +0000

While many patients are content with requiring one dental treatment option, many patients still may feel uneasy about receiving multiple. This is understandable, since hours in a dental chair might not sound like everyone’s idea of a pleasant morning or afternoon. However, if you happen to require more than one dental treatment, it’s vital to have all of them performed by your dentist in Brooklyn. This allows your dentist to crack down on small oral health concerns before they become anything serious, and fully protect and restore your smile!

Requiring More Than One Dental Treatment

The benefits of receiving all of your necessary dental treatments can be seen through one of our recent case studies, who we’ll call Mr. K. When Mr. K was in our dental office in Brooklyn, our team recommended a cleaning, root canal, and a single tooth replacement. While this may sound like quite a bit, this particular patient required a large amount of work to fully restore his smile. Once his treatment was complete, Mr. K was so elated with his results that he requested to give us a testimonial. When patients have all of their necessary treatments performed, they can immediately receive full peace of mind that their smile is healthy!

Receive the required treatments, and leave your dentist’s office with a healthy, beautiful smile! Need to know which dental treatments you might require? Get in touch with Advanced Dental Care of NYC by calling (347) 535-3269, or request an appointment online at www.cosmeticdentistbrooklyn.com!

What Are Smile Makeovers?

admin — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 03:38:20 +0000

While individual services and regular checkups help to maintain your smile, transforming your smile altogether is a more invasive task. Most patients here at Advanced Dental Care opt for individual services when undergoing cosmetic dentistry in Brooklyn. However, for those who want a completely new smile, a smile makeover can give you the smile of your dreams while simultaneously maintaining your overall oral health.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is not a treatment, but a process that can comprise of a number of cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments. Teeth Whitening, dental implants, veneers, bonding, and orthodontics can all come into play. Our team starts by examining your current smile, facial shape, eyes, chin, lips, etc. The entire facial structure and forms comes into play during the design phase. We take your wishes into account during this process, allowing patients to bring in pictures of smiles they love.

It’s important to note that before a smile makeover takes place the patient must have optimal oral health. Gum disease and other oral health issues of this nature must be treated beforehand. The good news is that these minor oral health concerns are easy to treat when spotted early on!

Once your smile makeover is complete, and all treatments as part of your makeover have been performed, you’re left with nothing short of your dream smile.
