- Dental ExaminationIt is recommended that you have a professional dental examination and cleaning at least once every six months. Preventive treatment is essential in maintaining a healthy and bright smile.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningHowever, avoiding these vital appointments can be damaging to your oral health. It allows your dentist the opportunity to check up on past restorations, exam your teeth for any new issues, provide you with an oral cancer screening, and thoroughly clean your teeth and gums.
- Teeth CleaningOur esteemed dentists and helpful staff are here to provide you with focused and skilled dental services that help both your oral and overall health. We can help you better understand the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings and how they contribute to your well-being.
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride is a naturally-occurring essential mineral that strengthens enamel, thus protecting your teeth against decay and harmful bacteria. The amounts of fluoride present in the water we drink and the food we eat may not be sufficient to meet your body’s requirements. That’s why fluoride treatments are a crucial part of your dental care. By scheduling frequent fluoride treatments—at least once to four times a year— you can significantly lower your chances of developing cavities and gum disease.
- Dental SealantsAvailable for children and adults, dental sealants cover teeth to prevent cavities. Sealants fill the deep pits and grooves where bacteria and food particles hide.
- Fillings
- VeneersPorcelain veneers – Veneers are shells that a dentist applies to the fronts of your teeth during a smile makeover in Flushing. Our dentist custom makes the veneer to fit on your teeth and correct imperfections with the color, size, and spacing of your teeth.
- CrownsDr. Gochman is awesome! Last night I had an old crown (by another dentist) fall out and they were able to take me in this afternoon, which is great considering the pandemic. To ensure our safety, the place is thoroughly sanitized, and there are air purifiers in each room. Your temperature is taken when you arrive and you'll also answer questions to make sure you're healthy. This gave me peace of mind. The doc is very nice and always clear about the options I have given the situation. I had to replace my crown, and they have the lovely machine that gets it done the same day!
- BridgesDental bridges – This treatment involves the use of synthetic teeth to fill the gaps of missing teeth. By filling in the gap, patients can avoid suffering from conditions that commonly arise from missing teeth, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and jawbone deterioration.
- Restorative DentistryOur Flushing dental office serves Queens and New York City with top-of-the-line care for lasting smiles. We will perform a comprehensive assessment of your smile and recommend treatments specifically suited to your individual needs.
- Root Canal TreatmentI’d rather have a root canal is a sarcastic expression used to let people know you’d rather do anything besides whatever task is set before you. A root canal is often believed to be extremely painful. However, the truth is root canal infections may cause pain, but root canal treatment alleviates discomfort almost immediately.
- DenturesWe offer all-white fillings and ceramic crowns to aesthetically renew compromised smiles. If you need quality replacement teeth, your dentist may suggest an attractive, long-lasting bridge, denture, or partial, or perhaps, permanent and natural-looking dental implants to deliver the beauty, comfort, and function you deserve.
- Dental ImplantsDon’t settle for a less than a perfect smile. If you have crooked teeth, our certified clear aligner therapy providers can put you on the road to straighter teeth and a healthier smile with this innovative orthodontic solution. For other issues, such as missing or misaligned teeth and gum disease, we offer dental implants, aligner therapy, and non-surgical periodontics. Our treatments can dramatically change your smile and your life!
- Oral SurgeryIf you are experiencing pain due to bruxism, please contact our office to schedule an appointment for our services. We recommend that you come in for an examination to determine what kind of care you may need. From there, we may recommend oral surgery for a full evaluation depending on your case.
- Tooth ExtractionsA dental or tooth extraction is the complete removal of a tooth from the jawbone. Our Flushing tooth extractions are outpatient procedures. For natural extractions, the process may require thirty minutes to complete. More difficult extractions, for instance, when the tooth root is embedded deep in the jawbone, may take longer.
- BracesClear aligner therapy – This advanced orthodontic treatment involves the use of clear aligners to correct crooked or misaligned teeth. They provide many benefits that traditional braces cannot, including being invisible and removable – meaning you can discretely transform your smile all while still eating all your favorite foods.
- Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening – A teeth whitening procedure from our dentist consists of a gel applied to your teeth. It contains a high-grade peroxide solution that works better than the ones you can purchase from the store. However, the level of peroxide is still safe.
- Cosmetic DentistryDental insurance varies among policies and patients. Your individual coverage will surely differ from your neighbor’s. As a general rule, the amount you or your employer shells out for the premium will dictate how much coverage you receive. Most dental insurances cover restorative and preventative procedures at a certain percentage, while cosmetic dentistry services are an out-of-pocket expense.
