- Dental ExaminationWe hope you’ve been keeping up on your daily hygiene training routine, because it’s game day! Your Rochester dentists and our extraordinary hygiene team have the tools and training to give you an incredibly gentle, yet impressively thorough cleaning that will help keep your defense strong. Dr. Nozik or Dr. Tumminelli will perform a comprehensive oral exam to make sure your teeth, gums, and the rest of your mouth are performing well.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYour Rochester dentists are in a unique position to detect and diagnose oral cancer. At your regular appointments at White Spruce Dental, your dentist performs a comprehensive exam including an oral cancer screening. Visit our Oral Cancer Screening page for more information.
- Teeth CleaningOral hygiene is one of, if not the most important factor when it comes to oral health. Make sure to schedule regular cleanings and exams with your Rochester dentists, and check out our Oral Hygiene page for professional advice on keeping your teeth clean and your mouth healthy.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeThere is a lot of evidence (although still some debate) indicating that the use of metal, specifically the use of trace amounts of mercury in metal fillings can be toxic to the human body. Tooth colored fillings are made out of a composite resin material that is safe and effective in filling cavities.
- VeneersIf you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, chances are you are not entirely happy with yourself. You are less likely to engage in conversation, to attend social events, and to show off your smile as often as you would like. This could be sending the wrong impression to those around you. Make sure your smile is sending the message you want it to, and hit the refresh button with porcelain veneers.
- CrownsIf you suffer from a tooth that is badly decayed, damaged, or missing, you understand the pain, discomfort, and embarrassment that comes along with it. Your Rochester dentists at White Spruce Dental recommend seeking treatment as soon as possible, before the problem worsens. With the help of our advanced same day technology, Dr. Kenneth Nozik and Dr. John Tumminelli can create and place dental crowns in a single appointment!
- BridgesIf you’re living with a gap in your smile, chances are you’re not living up to your full potential. Missing teeth make it difficult to live your daily life as you did before. It can be hard to enjoy your favorite foods, and to speak and smile with confidence, not to mention the negative effects missing teeth can have on your oral health. Porcelain bridges from White Spruce Dental in Rochester can restore your smile in form and function, and could be the first step on a bridge to a new you.
- Dental BondingCosmetic bonding can correct a number of minor imperfections, including teeth that are broken, cracked, chipped, misshapen, or gaped. Cosmetic bonding uses the same tooth colored material we use to fill cavities to improve the appearance of teeth.
- Restorative DentistryAt White Spruce Dental in Rochester, our mission is not just about fixing teeth, it’s about changing lives. Most adults will suffer from tooth loss at some point in their life, which can be a huge source of embarrassment, pain, and discomfort. Thankfully, your Rochester dentists love being able to restore patients’ smiles in form and function with restorative dentistry. Advanced technology allows us to create beautiful, natural-looking tooth restorations that give patients back their smile, their confidence, and their life.
- Root Canal TreatmentIf you have an infection within the tooth chamber or the tooth root, you may require a root canal. We know that root canals have earned a bad reputation, but today, they are a fairly simple procedure. We will go in and remove the infection, sterilize and fill the chamber to prevent future infection, and seal the tooth with a crown.
- DenturesAt White Spruce Dental, we are firm believers in second chances, especially when it comes to your smile. If you are missing all or most of your teeth, it may be time to start considering dentures. We understand the hesitancy many patients face when it comes time to bite the bullet, but we want you know that at White Spruce Dental in Rochester, your dentures will restore your smile, your confidence, and your life.
- Dental ImplantsNo one wants to look older than they have to—and unfortunately, missing teeth accelerate premature aging. We don’t want to scare you, but jawbone density begins decreasing immediately upon tooth loss—in fact, your jawbone can recede almost a full quarter of an inch just in the first year the tooth is gone! Dental implant placement restores the jaw to its rightful structure, resulting in a more youthful appearance by eliminating the “sunken-in” facial appearance missing teeth can cause—in addition to preventing additional bone loss.
- Oral SurgeryAt White Spruce Dental in Rochester, NY our doctors – Dr. Kenneth Nozik and Dr. John Tumminelli – have advanced training and are highly skilled when it comes to oral surgery. Most oral surgeries are fairly routine procedures, and while we know the thought can be daunting, we want you to know that you are under the best care possible.
- Tooth ExtractionsIf you have a tooth that’s been badly damaged by decay or trauma and is beyond the point of repair, or have an advanced case of gum disease, you may require a tooth extraction. Don’t worry, this is a routine procedure for your Rochester dentists. Visit our Oral Surgery page for more information.
- OrthodonticsDr. Nozik, your Rochester dentist is committed to advanced dental education and training in full mouth reconstruction, temporomandibular joint pain, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry and dental technology. He has sustained his father’s influence for the love of dentistry in his two daughters who are both pursuing their education in dentistry and dental hygiene.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign® is a revolutionary way to straighten teeth without the use of traditional metal brackets and wires. Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gently apply pressure and shift teeth into their desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks, at which point you will return to your Rochester dentist at White Spruce Dental for a new set.
- BracesLet’s be honest – traditional metal braces are embarrassing. Patients who decide to straighten their teeth already feel self-conscious about their smile, and adding metal braces on top only adds insult to injury. Let’s just side step the embarrassment and cruel nicknames (metal mouth, brace face, cheese grater, tinsel teeth) and straighten teeth quickly and discreetly with Invisalign®.
- Teeth WhiteningAs you might suspect, there are a number of different factors that can contribute to the staining, yellowing, or discoloration of teeth. It is important to understand and recognize the primary causes in order to minimize staining and maximize your whitening results.
- Cosmetic DentistryYour smile is one of the first things others notice about you, and can be an indicator of happiness, confidence, and success. Is your smile sending the message you want it to? At White Spruce Dental in Rochester, we believe that everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. If you are less than happy with the appearance of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry has a solution for you, and an appointment with your Rochester dentist might just be the first step to a new you!
- General DentistryAt White Spruce Dental in Rochester, we are proud to be able to provide all of your general dentistry and family dentistry needs under one roof. General dentistry is largely focused on the prevention of disease and decay, which is our primary goal in caring for our patients. We would much rather see our patients twice yearly for regular checkups and exams than not see them for years and then have to treat a serious case of gum disease or repair or replace teeth damaged by decay.
