  Dental crowns

  A dental crown is ideal for covering a tooth that’s badly stained, slightly crooked or been broken in an accident. Crowns are also called tooth caps or dental caps because they sit on top of an existing structure. A dental cap helps prevent bone loss that often happens if you go too long with missing teeth. And your self-confidence remains intact when you don’t have big gaps in your smile.

  Crown lengthening

  Crown lengthening in Astoria is typically performed to improve the health of the gum tissue or prepare your mouth for certain restorative procedures – for example, if not enough of the tooth sticks out above the gum line to support a filling or crown. You may also consider crown lengthening if your smile can be described as “gummy,” where the teeth are covered with excess gum tissue. Crown lengthening is a common surgical procedure performed by Dr. Bokser who will extend the height or size of the portion of the tooth that is visible above the gum line. The doctor will typically use local anesthesia and then gradually reshape or remove the excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth. Once Dr. Bokser feels enough tooth has been exposed, the doctor will wash the area with sterile salt water and apply stitches to the gums. The entire procedure can usually be completed in less than one hour. In most cases, after the surgery, you’ll experience a little swelling, which can be treated with ice and Ibuprofen (or other pain medicine) but generally there is relatively minimal healing time with little discomfort. The area will be completely healed and back to normal within 2-3 months. You will, however, notice the results immediately in a wider, more symmetrical smile. Dr. Bokser can perform crown lengthening on a single tooth, for a more even gum line, or to several teeth to reveal a broader smile or prepare you for further dental work.

  Dental Veneers

  Veneers teeth (dental laminates) are designed from thin slices of a material that gives your teeth the color you’re looking to achieve. They have the ability to turn unattractive, yellowing teeth into a whiter, natural hue to complete your smile makeover in our dental office. Dental veneers are applied onto the surface of your teeth with long-lasting cement. The ultraviolet light then hardens the cement. It’s an easy and painless procedure when performed by our top-rated dentist. Getting veneers teeth requires a simple office visit. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, about 89 percent of those seeking any kind of dental work do so to improve their appearance, while only 54 percent visit a dentist to improve their dental health. Like you, however, many see a dentist to get the best of both.

  Teeth Whitening

  Many people believe that teeth whitening is a need and not a luxury. According to the Consumer Guide to Dentistry, it’s the most-requested dental procedure in the U.S. 80 percent of Americans claim that the best teeth whitening cost is nothing compared to the boost in confidence they receive from the process. Success is often equated with laser teeth whitening because when your self-image is improved, you tend to seek out better opportunities, take risks to build new relationships, and end up taking better care of yourself overall. You may find that people, in general, appreciate a healthy-looking smile, just as they often tend to be less friendly and accommodating when you don’t smile due to embarrassment or low self-esteem. If you believe that laser whitening helps your relationships and business ventures, then it very well may. If you think that a winning laser whitening smile is what you need to be your best self, then please call your cosmetic dentistry team for an appointment at Precision Dental NYC.

  Dental implants

  Precision Dental NYC will provide you with high-quality, affordable dental implants that will make your teeth healthier than they were before. Furthermore, your new teeth may also improve your appearance. Your family dentist will provide you with affordable dental implant options. You’ll be able to speak, smile, and chew as well as you did before with the right kind of teeth implants. As a result, the bones become stronger. Nearly three million people in the United States profit from the latest dental materials and techniques, making low-cost dental implants common. “Today, implants with attached crowns are the preferred method for treating tooth loss because they function the same as natural teeth and help preserve the jaw structure by preventing atrophy from bone loss. Bridgework and dentures address the cosmetic problem of missing teeth but do not prevent bone loss. Permanent implants maintain proper chewing function and exert appropriate, natural forces on the jaw bone to keep it functional and healthy,” reports the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. According to AAID statistics, dental implant cost doesn’t deter the popularity either, as about 500,000 Americans get new implants yearly. Seek out your cosmetic dentist to learn your eligibility for getting the best dental implants.

  Periodontal Treatment

  Periodontal disease is a disease that affects the structures around your teeth, helping to support them. These include your gum tissues, the ligaments holding teeth in the sockets, and the bone around your teeth. Periodontics is where specialist dentists known as periodontists treat and prevent gum disease. Periodontal disease progresses as the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and gums gets filled with bacteria, plaque, and tartar, causing irritation to the surrounding tissues. When these irritants remain in the pocket space, they can cause damage to the gums and eventually, the bone that supports the teeth. Our periodontists at dentistry in Astoria, NY can provide effective treatment for advanced periodontal disease, but the best approach is preventative treatment.

  Sedation Dentistry

  It doesn’t matter if you get nervous when you visit your family dentist for a checkup. What concerns dentists across the country is that the fear of dentistry keeps people from coming in at all. To maintain your dental health, it’s not enough to brush twice a day and floss your teeth at least once a day; you need to visit your restorative family dentist twice a year for an exam and a cleaning. And yet three of every 10 Americans avoid dentists for that very reason, according to Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation. More people aren’t getting the dental care they need to prevent tooth decay, periodontal disease, and potential tooth loss. Instead of giving in to your fears, rely on a dentist who offers sedation and sleep dentistry.

  TMJ Treatment

  Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome (TMJ) is a common condition affecting a wide variety of people. TMJ is characterized by severe headaches, jaw pain of varying degrees, grinding teeth, and an intermittent ringing in the ears. The vast majority of TMJ sufferers are unaware that the root cause of these problems is something that a dentist can effectively treat. The symptoms of TMJ are debilitating and can greatly interfere with everyday life. The comfort and general well being of the patient are at the heart of the dental practice, so pain relief is the first consideration of the dentist. Our doctors are able to test, diagnose, and devise an immediate plan to treat the underlying causes of the TMJ disorder.
