Why is a Smile so Important?

Smiling can make your brain feel happy. When we smile “the whole world smiles back”. When we smile our mood is lifted; blood pressure is decreased, heart rate is lowered, immune function is increased along with longevity. The act of smiling activates neural transmitters (dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins) that benefit our brain and overall health. When we smile at someone they are positively affected. Your beautiful smile affects their orbital frontal cortex. The person that you are smiling at actually feels rewarded. This leads to immediate bonding. Job hirings, promotions, meeting new people, and even falling in love. 60% of our overall look is determined by your smile. Let our team (cosmetic dentists of New York) allow you to grow in confidence and self-esteem. Let us be the “bridge” to your success.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Your smile is what people see first. Cosmetic dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth. When you undergo cosmetic dental treatment, we will strive to improve the way your teeth and smile look. Many of our procedures aim to simply improve aesthetic features. However, other treatments also address functional issues, restoring and correcting teeth imperfections and occlusion. Health, function and beauty form a triad of what a cosmetic dental team strives for.

At 172 NYC Dental, we understand that by addressing dental imperfections, we also deliver beautiful, healthy smiles. Our cosmetic dentistry team (Cosmetic Dentistry NYC) is skilled at completing procedures that correct a variety of cosmetic issues, including:

Staining
Chips and cracks
Gaps
Missing teeth

Our goal is to get you the beautiful smile that you have always wanted. Cosmetic dentistry covers a wide range of procedures designed to address a variety of aesthetic issues. We are proud to say that our cosmetic dentists are experts in every type of cosmetic treatment.

To ensure beautiful and reliable results, we use the most advanced equipment in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Our state of the art office uses digital X-rays, 3D scanners, and lasers as our instruments to help us provide a reliable diagnosis and accurate impressions. During your treatment at our modern office, we will strive to ensure that your experience is as relaxed, comfortable, and effective as possible. Many times in creating a harmonious smile it takes a team of specialists working together to achieve optimum results. Periodontists (oral surgeons) create a beautiful foundation by making our gums and bone healthy, pink, and balanced. They also are highly skilled in placing implants, extractions, and bone grafts. Invisalign experts (orthodontists) gently rotate our teeth into proper position, they eliminate crowding, “buck teeth”, gaps and establish proper interaction between our jaws (occlusion). Endodontists save severely decayed and broken teeth with root canal therapy, they also do internal bleaching on teeth that have had root canal therapy and have discolored. Our cosmetic dentists NYC (prosthodontist) are the artists; they do the final restoration of your missing and broken teeth. Our doctors use the latest in 3-D scanners to take digital impressions, no more messy putty material in your mouth in our office. True brilliant cosmetic dentistry in New York cannot be accomplished by a single practitioner. It takes a coordinated team that treats you as a whole person. At 172 NYC Dental, we treat people not only their teeth.

Cosmetic Dental Treatments Available at 172 NYC Dental

The experienced and highly skilled team at 172 NYC Dental (Cosmetic dentists Manhattan) will work with you to find a treatment approach that addresses your unique needs, schedule, and budget. We want you to feel so pleased with your smile that you cannot wait to show it off. We do the most brilliant work at the most affordable fees. Here are some of the ways we can help transform your smile

Teeth whitening: We will take care of discolorations, surface stains, and minor staining that has darkened the enamel of your teeth. We are able in most cases to lighten your existing shade in one visit (60-75 minutes) in a very dramatic fashion. We use the Zoom WhiteSpeed system. We obtain the best, quickest, and safest results because of Zoom’s advanced technology. In many cases, we will whiten existing teeth before restoring the broken ones to achieve the brightest smile possible.
Smile makeover: This series of dental procedures can help you achieve a harmonious, beautiful look to your teeth and mouth. A smile makeover encompasses many of the treatment modalities found in a multispeciality office. Gums are reshaped so that they drape beautifully over the teeth. A comprehensive treatment plan is devised incorporating every aspect of the patient’s well being (medical history, dental history, patient concerns, and expectations and finances). Then a sequential coordinated approach is developed using all our skills. This may include, Invisalign, Veneers, crowns, implants, whitening, and implant-supported dentures.
Porcelain veneers: These extremely thin sheets of porcelain are placed over existing teeth to improve their aesthetic appearance. The dental veneers can change the color and shape of existing teeth. They can close gaps and correct mildly misaligned teeth. They can increase or decrease the length of one’s teeth. Veneers are a relatively non-invasive, astounding way of improving a smile.
Porcelain crowns and bridges: These comfortable, natural-looking dental restorations are an effective replacement for missing teeth. These restorations are used to repair and strengthen teeth. The bridges are made up of crowns that support the missing teeth (pontics). These prostheses are fixed in the mouth, they don’t come out, they become one with your body.
Porcelain and composite fillings: Natural-looking fillings will ensure that a cavity cannot ruin the appearance of your smile. All our fillings are done in composite resin, Emax porcelain, or Zirconia. Our dentists match the shade of your tooth with the new restoration so that they are virtually invisible.
Cosmetic gum reshaping: This treatment ensures the balance, harmony, and symmetry of your gums in unison with any other cosmetic dental procedures for a truly beautiful smile. Reshaping the gums before restorative work on the teeth themselves is critical to getting a realistic, natural, and esthetic end result.
Invisalign (clear tray) orthodontics: Ultra-thin trays (aligners) are placed sequentially over a period of time to gently move the teeth into a perfect, functional, and esthetic relationship. When the aligners are placed on the teeth they are completely invisible; speech is not affected at all.
Implants: They are man-made roots composed of titanium. Where one has a missing tooth (and doesn’t want or need a fixed bridge) they are the gold standard for fixed restorations. The dental implants are gently placed in the bone, where the root of the original tooth was lying, the bone grows around the implant (osseous integration) and then the implant is restored with an abutment (post) and porcelain crown. None of the surrounding teeth are touched during this procedure.
