- Dental ExaminationAn oral examination is a visual inspection of the mouth, head, and neck, performed to detect abnormalities. Radiographs allow for a more complete examination, helping the doctor to detect cavities, problems in existing dental restorations, gum and bone recession or other abnormal conditions within the mouth, head and neck area.
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningA dental cleaning is the removal of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth. Specialized instruments are used to gently remove these deposits without harming the teeth.
- Fillings
- VeneersPorcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural appearance of teeth. To place a veneer, a thin layer of the original tooth enamel must be removed. Afterward, an adhesive layer is placed between the prepared tooth and the veneer. The adhesive is then hardened by using a specialized curing light.
- CrownsWhat’s more, Glassman Dental Care can take a highly accurate digital impression for your crown or bridge area, which will ensure a perfect fit for your new bridge or crown!
- BridgesRestorations like dental bridges last 5-7 years on average, and even with proper care they may only last up to 10 years. Dental implants are a long-term solution, so they are more cost-effective. Dental implants can last a lifetime and may only need slight adjustments.
- Dental Bonding
- Restorative DentistryEven with excellent care, however, teeth and gums can be susceptible to disease, infection, cavities, cracks, or other forms of damage. Restorative dentistry helps maintain oral and overall health even when the health of one or more teeth or the surrounding areas is compromised. Restorative dentistry helps preserve natural teeth. The goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the function and integrity of the tooth structure, function, and health, while maintaining a natural appearance.
- Root Canal TreatmentMany people have suffered from problems which require root canals in New York recently. The type and quality of the food we take in has a lot of effect on the health of our teeth. Today, people take in a lot of processed, unnatural food which has made tooth decay a common problem.
- Gingivectomy and GingivoplastyTypically, cosmetic dentistry involves the addition of a dental material to teeth or gums—bonding, porcelain veneers (laminates), crowns (caps), or gum grafts—or the removal of tooth structure or gums, also known as enameloplasty and gingivectomy. Orthodontics is also considered cosmetic dentistry. Moving teeth is sometimes a better and more conservative option than removing tooth structure. Clear aligner therapy has become very popular in the last 15 years, as many of our Upper West Side patients are professionals who don’t want to be seen in the boardroom with metal braces. Aligner therapy can be used by itself or with other cosmetic services for ideal treatment.
- DenturesDentures are held into place by surface area contact, training the lips and the tongue. On the upper arch there can be a suction-like fit. The lower arch is not usually secured as well. Often patients need denture adhesive to help secure dentures.
- Dental ImplantsPeople are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing, flossing, and dental appointments allow many of us to maintain our natural smiles for a lifetime, sometimes our teeth just can’t keep up. If you’ve lost a tooth (or a few teeth) due to injury or disease, dental implants can rejuvenate both your smile, your ability to eat and speak properly, and your oral health.
