  Dental Veneers

  Veneers are deemed to be the most conservative treatment of unaesthetic anterior teeth. Since their introduction in 1983, they have been considered one of the most compelling treatment modalities for front teeth. Our world-class teeth veneer dentist Dr. Umanoff will help you select the most appropriate treatment solution for you. He is among a few dental veneer specialists in Brooklyn who can truly meet the patient’s aesthetic, structural, and biological requirements. What Are Veneers? One of the most frequently used procedures at LuxDen Dentistry Center is veneers. They can correct many dental problems and give you the beautiful smile of your dreams. Veneers cover teeth that are stained from discolored resin fillings, exposure to excessive fluoride (fluorosis), antibiotics, especially tetracycline, or older root canal treatments. They can hide teeth that are small, oddly shaped, or that have become worn down. Veneers are a popular way to rejuvenate your smile. There are several different types to choose from, and it is essential to know a little bit about each option. The best-in-class veneer dentist in Brooklyn, Dr. Umanoff, can explain which choice will be the best for you and why. According to NCBI, porcelain veneers provide a successful and predictable restoration with an approximate survival rate of 93.5% over the past ten years. Dramatic increase in failure probability was associated with nonvital teeth and bruxism.

  Root Canals

  Each year, countless teeth are treated and saved with root canal therapy. At LuxDen dental implants clinic in Brooklyn, we offer endodontic treatments. These treatments remove the pulp of an infected or damaged tooth. We examine your teeth and gums to determine which dental treatments you would benefit from the most. This is when we decide if a root canal is right for you. What is Root Canal Therapy? The core of your tooth is made of soft tissue. It is known as the pulp. The pulp chamber is the hollow area that houses this soft tissue. This pulp chamber is connected to the root of the tooth via pipe-like canals. This gives rise to the term “root canal.” The blood vessels in these canals provide nutrition to the tooth. When the internal soft tissue becomes infected it can result in tooth loss if left untreated. Root canal therapy should take place before the infection gets worse. A root canal therapy procedure involves taking out the damaged or decaying nerve and pulp. We then clean out the canal and put in a permanent filling.

  Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

  As we age, bone loss can occur in the upper and lower jaw. This may be a result of periodontitis also known as chronic gum disease. Bacteria from this type of gum infection eats away at the bone tissue, causing the jaw to atrophy, or decrease in size. This jaw atrophy can also be a result of having a tooth or multiple teeth extracted. If this is happening to you, you may want to consider finding out more about dental bone loss and grafts done in our dental implant office in Brooklyn, New York. What is a Bone Graft? A bone graft is a minor surgical procedure done to help rebuild the jaw and provide support to surrounding tissues. Before, these grafts were often taken from another part of the patient’s body, like the ribs. Now, dental bone graft surgery is much less complicated and can be done at the dentist’s office. Bovine, or cow, bone is used very successfully, and the body recognizes it as natural bone, which causes the regeneration of new bone in the jaw area. Dental bone grafts have several different applications, and our LuxDen team is happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this or any other procedure.

  Dental Cleaning

  You know that brushing and flossing regularly is standard care for your teeth and gums. However, nothing beats professional teeth cleaning twice a year. Regular checkups and a professional tooth cleaning at a reputable office is fundamental to having a bright, white smile. It is a requirement for your overall oral hygiene and well being of your entire body. Proper care of your teeth prevents bad breath, yellowing, discoloration, and plaque deposits which can cause unattractive spots and decay over time. Insufficient dental care has also been linked to a number of illnesses. Heart disease, diabetes, tooth loss, bone, and various stages of gum disease are all linked to poor dental hygiene. These illnesses are all preventable when caught early during your visit. We can also detect early signs of problems such as fillings required or fractures as well as cavities and sensitivity.

  Receding Gums

  Have you noticed your smile has begun to look toothier than before? Perhaps your teeth look longer than you remember them? These are both common signs of gum recession, a condition that affects many adults in the US. It occurs when the gums become less snugly attached to your teeth and begin to recede. Eventually, this recession will expose the tooth roots. Your teeth may look yellow around their margins. This is due to the cementum being exposed to the tooth roots. It can look quite unsightly, but will also increase the risk of tooth decay in the tooth root area as cementum isn’t as hard and durable as tooth enamel. Additionally, by this point,you may begin to feel other signs of discomfort such as increased tooth sensitivity to hot and cold.

  Dental Crown

  Dental crowns enhance the strength and durability of your teeth with positioned prosthetics. Crowns give teeth a smoother look. They are used for a number of different cases. You can place them over a cracked tooth. If you have an old filling that needs replacing, a crown can help. If you have severe tooth decay, you can fix it with a crown. We custom-make all crowns. They come in a multitude of different materials. The materials used depend on your specific case. Your new teeth are matched to the color of your own teeth. This way you create a uniform appearance. A dental examination can help us to determine if you need a crown. We examine your teeth and gums in our Brooklyn dental office. This helps us determine if you’re a viable candidate for this procedure.

  Dental Surgery

  Bone grafting is often closely associated with dental restorations such as bridgework and dental implants. The success of a restoration procedure can hinge on the height, depth, and width of the jawbone at the implant site. When the jawbone associated with missing teeth shrinks, or has sustained significant damage, the implant(s) cannot be supported on this unstable foundation. Bone grafting is usually recommended. We can use your actual tooth to perform the bone graft by using your extracted tooth’s healthy structure. We utilize a special grinder and perform the bone graft with the ground up material.
