CEREC One-Hour Crowns at South Shore Dental Care

September 6, 2013

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: Bellmore, CEREC crowns, CEREC one-hour crowns, dr dory stutman, Dr. Khalida Stutman, Dr. William Rubino, Long Island, Massapequa, Merrick, South Shore Dental Care, Wantagh — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 6:03 pm

CEREC crown Do you have a damaged or decayed tooth that needs a crown restoration but you’ve been putting it off because of the time involved? At South Shore Dental Care we are proud to offer CEREC one-hour crowns that fit into your busy life. We’ll repair your tooth with a minimum impact to your life. In most cases it only takes an hour.

A crown is a cap that is designed to fit over a damaged or decayed tooth to help strengthen it and return function to your smiles. Traditionally, getting a crown was a fairly lengthy process that involved at least two dental visits and requiring a temporary crown while waiting for your permanent restoration to be milled. We know that our patients are busy, so we take advantage of this great CEREC technology that allows us to speed up the process.

For CEREC crowns, we take a digital impression of your tooth that’s then sent to an in-office milling unit which will craft your porcelain crown while you wait. This technology also eliminates the need for impressions, which many patients don’t enjoy. Once your CEREC crown is ready, we’ll fit it onto your tooth, leaving you with a completely restored tooth after only one dental visit. Give us a call today to learn more about this technology and see how it can help improve your smile.

If the appearance of your smile is marred by stains or discoloration, there’s no need to despair. At South Shore Dental Care we can help with teeth whitening. This is a great cosmetic dentistry solution that can help you achieve the beautiful smiles you’ve seen on your television and in magazines.

Teeth become stained for a variety of reasons, including aging, food, alcohol, coffee, tobacco, and even certain medications. Teeth whitening can remove these stains, regardless of the cause. We offer in-office treatments from Zoom! Whitening to give you a brighter smile quickly. After about an hour long visit to our dental office, you’ll see an immediate difference. This method works by putting bleaching gel on your teeth and then activating it with a special light.

If you’d prefer to whiten your smile from the comfort of your own home, we can also provide you with an at-home teeth whitening solution. We’ll give you a custom-fitted whitening tray and professional whitening gel. Fill the trays with the gel, wear as directed, and you’ll see a whiter smile in about four days.

A bright, white smile doesn’t have to be a dream any longer thanks to teeth whitening. Give us a call today to see how we can help improve your smile with this great cosmetic dentistry solution.

Straighter Smiles from Invisalign in Massapequa

July 4, 2013

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: Bellmore, clear braces, clear orthodontics, cosmetic dentist massapequa, Dr. Khalida Stutman, Invisalign, Invisalign Clear Braces, Long Island, Massapequa, Merrick, South Shore Dental Care, Wantagh — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 12:49 am

Last time, we talked about the variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer here at South Shore Dental Care. Today we’re going to talk about one of those options, Invisalign, in more detail. If you want straighter teeth without going through the hassle of metal braces, this could be a great option for you.

Invisalign is a clear braces smile solution that can straighten your smile without any metal or wires. This makes it a more comfortable alternative because there’s nothing that will cause your mouth discomfort. The clear aligners are made from smooth plastic. You’ll change them out every two weeks, and in most cases treatment takes about one year.

Since the aligners are removable, this makes it simple to keep your teeth clean and healthy during treatment. Also, there’s no food restrictions with Invisalign. You also have the flexibility to remove your aligners for special occasions or pictures, but since they’re clear, most people won’t be able to tell you’re even wearing them at all.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, give our office a call. Dr. Khalida Stutman is a skilled orthodontist and can determine if Invisalign is the right solution for your smile. Everyone deserves a straight, beautiful smile, and Invisalign makes straightening your teeth even easier to fit into your life.
