4. OUR SERVICES IN PATCHOGUE, NEW YORK
Initial Oral Examination
Your first visit at our office is very important in establishing your oral health baseline. We will
perform a complete oral examination which includes an oral cancer screening, periodontal
evaluation, an analysis of your occlusion (bite) and a thorough examination of your teeth, their
supporting structures and of the oral anatomy.
The Preventive Program
Both natural teeth and teeth with restorations survive best in an oral environment that is clean
and where proper oral hygiene is maintained. Our dental hygiene program is designed to help
prevent new cavities, preserve teeth that have been restored and manage periodontal disease.
At the initial visit with our dentist, oral hygiene instructions are reviewed and are reinforced at
subsequent recall visits.
Gum Treatment
Periodontal treatment methods depend upon the type and severity of the 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. If the disease is caught in the early stages of gingivitis, and no permanent
damage has been done, one to two regular cleanings will be recommended. You will also be
given instructions on improving your daily oral hygiene habits and having regular dental
cleanings. If the disease has progressed to more advanced stages, a special periodontal cleaning
called scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) will be recommended. If the pockets do not heal
after scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery may be needed to reduce pocket depths.
Dental Fillings
Traditional dental restoratives, or fillings, include amalgam and composite. Newer dental fillings
include ceramic and plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Depending
on the extent of decay and the tooth's location, we may recommend a specific type of filling
material.
Crowns
Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative
procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large
portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Crowns are
5. also used to attach bridges, cover implants, or to prevent a cracked tooth from becoming
worse. Crowns also serve an aesthetic use, and are applied when a discolored or stained tooth
needs to be restored to its natural appearance. Crowns are fabricated in a laboratory and are
made either of porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or many of the new
ceramic materials that have been developed.
Bridges & Dentures
A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face and
alleviate stress on your bite. A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great,
and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made
from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto
surrounding teeth for support. There are two basic types of bridges. A fixed bridge which
remains in your mouth at all times and is supported by your natural teeth. Removable bridges
(partials and full dentures) are removed from the mouth several times a day for cleaning and
rest on the gum where the missing teeth are being replaced.
Dental Implants
If a tooth is extracted or missing for some other reason, it is now possible to replace it using
dental implants. An implant is like a new tooth made of metal and porcelain that looks just like
your natural tooth. It's composed of two main parts: One part is the titanium implant body that
takes the place of the missing root and the second part is the tooth-colored crown that is
cemented on top of the implant. In addition to tooth replacement, implants may be used to
anchor dentures, especially lower dentures that tend to shift when you talk or chew. For
patients with removable partial dentures, implants can replace missing teeth so that you have a
more natural-looking smile.
Extractions
When tooth removal is necessary, we can perform simple and complex (surgical) extractions
using local anesthesia.
Pediatric Dental Care
We take pride in creating and maintaining beautiful and healthy smiles for our younger patients
in an environment that is lighthearted and fun. We focus on establishing oral health habits that
last a lifetime, with education and prevention as our primary tools.
Veneers
Gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth can now be treated with wonderful results and very
conservatively using porcelain veneers. Veneers are natural in appearance and are a perfect
alternative for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials (such as porcelain)
6. designed to cover the front side of your teeth.
Root Canal Therapy
We use an advanced technique which allows us, in many cases, to complete your root canal
treatment in just one visit and makes the root canal experience much more comfortable and
predictable. This technique enables us to determine the length of the canal without x-rays,
control the cleaning of the canal with a fast, smooth and quiet rotary instrument and rapidly fill
the canal.
Tooth Whitening
Using our take home bleaching system, you can achieve a brighter and whiter smile in a matter
of days.
Invisalign® Invisible Braces?
Invisalign ® is a form of orthodontic treatment that works to correct many different types of
malocclusions through the use of a series of clear plastic trays called aligners. Invisalign® was
developed to eliminate the use of unsightly metal brackets and wires and allow orthodontic
treatment to occur almost “invisibly”.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
After an evaluation visit to determine whether a patient is a candidate for Invisalign®, the
orthodontist will take dental impressions, radiographs and pictures. Using these, Invisalign® will
use its unique computer imaging system to create a series of Invisalign® aligners, which are
clear and which will replace the standard bracket and wires of conventional orthodontics. The
first in the series of clear retainers will fit the patient’s teeth as they exist at the beginning of
treatment. Each successive retainer will exert forces which will move teeth to the position
where the next retainer can take over.
The patient must wear each removable retainer for approximately two weeks. They must be
worn at all times – 24 hours a day - except during meals.
The number of aligners will vary from patient to patient depending on the severity of the
malocclusion. The overall length of treatment generally approximates the time needed for
standard orthodontics.
Orthodontics
The goal of orthodontics is to correct a malocclusion – a bad bite. Teeth may be crowded or
crooked or the upper and lower jaws may be out of alignment. Occasionally, even when teeth
7. appear straight, the patient may have a bite which is not even and which may be causing
further dental problems.
Malocclusions may be inherited familialy, may be developmental or may be caused by poor oral
habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting.
Orthodontic treatment seeks to address any or all of these problems. The goal of orthodontic
treatment is not only to create an attractive smile, but to develop a bite which can promote
oral health. Straight, uncrowded teeth are a lot easier to keep clean. Crooked, crowded teeth
are much more difficult to maintain and can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Orthodontics utilizes physics to slowly move teeth into the proper position. This is performed
by using corrective appliances, including braces and retainers. Brackets are placed on the teeth
using bonding technology. Arch wires are then threaded through these brackets . The tension
and tightness of these wires determines the individual movement of each tooth. Orthodontics
applies constant pressure on each tooth in a desired direction. By making adjustment to the
pressure at follow up visits, our orthodontists control the slow movement of the teeth until the
malocclusion is corrected. Generally speaking, orthodontic treatment can last from one to three
years or longer depending on the patient’s age and severity of the malocclusion. Retainers are
often worn to help ensure teeth remain in their new position after braces have been removed.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep that occur
repeatedly throughout the night. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA), caused by relaxation of soft tissue in the back of the throat that blocks the
passage of air. Symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, morning restlessness, morning
headaches and irritability.
The oral sleep apnea device is a simple, patient-friendly oral appliance created for noninvasive
treatment of sleep apnea and snoring. The appliance works by gently moving the mandible
forward allowing for a greater degree of airway opening.
