As a Prosthodontist, I take great care and pride in providing my patients with cosmetically attractive and natural-looking teeth that restore function as well as beauty.
With over 30 years of clinical practice including years of rigorous post-doctoral training and teaching other dentists, I bring a unique understanding of the dynamics of a smile, what it means to you and what range of dental care modalities can achieve a beautify result that will last for years. I use elements of a smile to enhance my patients overall appearance whenever possible, whether you are being seen for routine cleanings and checkups or for a complete smile makeover (or anywhere in between.) Clinical judgment are based on the best available scientific evidence are combined with meticulous clinical skill, provides restoration of a beautiful smile that stands the test of time.
I am happy to provide general and cosmetic dentistry but I also practice my specialty of prosthodontics including crowns, bridges, partial and complete dentures and implants. My training and 15 years of hospital-based practice involves maxillofacial prosthetics and dental oncology. I treat all family members, including children, and accentuate preventive dentistry since returning to New York City in 1978 and opening this upper east-side office in 1989.
PATIENT COMFORT:
Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of the traditional dental drill. Since cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums) with the WaterlaseMD does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be performed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips! Additionally, using the WaterlaseMD for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain, swelling and the need for pain medication in many cases.
ACCURACY AND PRECISION:
Using our WaterlaseMD laser, we able to remove tooth enamel decay (the hardest substance in the body), bone and gum tissue precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. This conserves and allows you to keep more of the healthy tooth structure. Snap Dental Imaging allows us to take a digital picture of you and in less than 5 minutes have simulations of what bleaching or new crowns and veneers would look like and how we can change your smile If you will e-mail us your full face smile photo, we can send you back a Simulation of what is possible for a Smile Makeover for you. We and the Dental Laboratory can use these images as a guide that you have approved to make your treatment more predictable. You will find that I emphasize a prevention-oriented oral medicine approach to care.
Your initial examination includes a review of your medical history, a clinical examination for head and neck cancer or oral pathology, a periodontal (gum disease) evaluation and clinical charting of teeth, restorations (fillings) and problems such as decay or periodontal disease. After this examination, we will determine what x-rays are indicated for your care. A treatment plan will then be formulated and discussed with you. You should visit my modern office and see how we are staffed and equipped to provide service with a warm and personal touch.
