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.

At South Shore Dental Care, we’re committed to providing our patients with a wide array of dental services, high-quality cosmetic dentistry, and up to the minute dental technology. Our Massapequa dental office serves patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh. Call us today to schedule your appointment.

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.

Dr. Dory Stutman: AACD Accredited Dentist

February 6, 2013

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: AACD, Accredited cosmetic dentist, dr dory stutman, Long Island, Massapequa, massapequa cosmetic dentist, Merrick, South Shore Dental Care, Wantagh — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 11:22 pm

Our very own Dr. Dory Stutman recently reached Accredited status in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). This is a very prestigious award to recognize dental professionals that are committed to providing the highest quality cosmetic dentistry work possible.

The AACD is an organization for people dedicated to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. Founded in December of 1984, the organization now has over 6,000 members from 70 countries around the world. Members include dental professionals, laboratory technicians, educators and researchers.

While there are a lot of members, only about 336 members are Accredited, making it a very prestigious title.

Accreditation is a lengthy process that starts with taking a written exam. Then, the dentist will have five years to complete the rest of the requirements. They’ll attend two required workshops, submit clinical cases and perform an oral examination.

Dr. Dory Stutman has accomplished all of these requirements and will be formally recognized at the next AACD Scientific Session that will be held from April 24-27 in Seattle, Washington. This will also be printed in the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry.

We’re very proud of Dr. Dory Stutman and are very happy that his talents will be formally recognized. Congratulate him the next time you’re in for an appointment!

January 30, 2013

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: Bellmore, cosmetic dentistry, dr dory stutman, Dr. Khalida Stutman, Long Island, long island dentist, Massapequa, massapequa cosmetic dentist, Merrick, orthodontics, Porcelain Veneers, Wantagh — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 9:14 pm

In a recent blog post, we briefly mentioned at the end that here at South Shore Dental Care, we offer something very few other practices can – two dentists of different focuses who can consult together on your diagnoses and procedures. Today, we’d like to elaborate a little on what this could mean for you and your smile. At our Massapequa, NY office, we understand that you certainly don’t have the time to visit several dentists in order to assure you’re getting the best care available. We want to help you feel comfortable with our services and completely informed about what we can offer you, without you even having to leave the comfort of your computer chair!

Twice the support, twice the skill

While our husband-wife team offers a variety of procedures, from family dentistry to restorative procedures to multiple sedation techniques, they both focus on specific areas of dental care, meaning that you get a double-helping of expertise whenever you come in for care. Dr. Dory Stutman can offer you five-star cosmetic care, while Dr. Khalida Stutman specializes in orthodontic treatment.

Although dentists are experienced and well-trained professionals, when it comes to tough or tricky cases, it can help to have another qualified opinion available to you. After all, two heads is better than one! At South Shore Dental Care, you won’t ever have to worry about needing a second opinion. It’s already available right here in our office, with both doctors looking and consulting on your specific issues and needs.

In addition, by being able to combine orthodontics with other treatment, we’ll able to offer you very conservative treatment. When having porcelain veneers fitted, you’ll have minimal or even no preparation veneers, enamel shaping, or bonding. This can be a big help to patients, especially those who are concerned about drilling or sensitivity.

Here at South Shore Dental Care, we’re committed to providing you with the most effective and informed service available. You’ll be back to sharing your smile with the world in no time! Call our office today to schedule your consultation appointment. In addition to Massapequa, we also serve patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh.

Straighten Your Smile More Simply With Invisalign

January 16, 2013

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: Bellmore, braces, dr dory stutman, Dr. Khalida Stutman, Invisalign, Long Island, Massapequa, Merrick, Wantagh — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 11:58 pm

As an adult, it can sometimes feel like you’ve missed your chance to have a beautiful, straight smile – after all, you’ve got a professional image to worry about, and traditional metal braces can make it seem like you’re stuck in junior high again. That’s not even taking into account the amount of time they take to make a difference in your smile – years, in most cases. Here at South Shore Dental Care, we’re committed to providing you with better, faster options concerning your dental care. That’s why we’re offering Invisalign at our Massapequa office, a more invisible, comfortable, and effective option for straightening your teeth.

Several benefits, one beautiful outcome

Created from detailed impressions of your teeth, Invisalign uses a series of clear, smooth plastic aligners to straighten teeth. One of the greatest benefits of using Invisalign is that you can easily remove it in order to eat, brush, and floss. No food is off-limits to you, and you’ll be able to keep your teeth cleaner without having to work around pesky brackets and wires.

In addition, your Invisalign braces will fit you comfortably and nearly invisibly, allowing you to avoid the looks and passing judgments that can come with traditional metal braces. What if you want to be sure you won’t have to explain them, though? If you have an important event coming up, like a graduation or wedding, no worries! Just leave your aligners out for a night, allowing you to enjoy all the fun to the fullest.

And best of all, our Massapequa dental team can have your treatment completed in an average of one year – half the time traditional braces usually take. What could be better?

Ring in the New Year with a great deal

If Invisalign seems like a surefire way to make your smile shine, you’re in luck! Mention this ad on our website, and you’ll receive a full $1,000 dollars off Invisalign here at South Shore Dental Care. In addition, we’ll provide you with free bleach after your treatment – a value of $400, available to you at no cost.

Do you want to learn more about orthodontic treatment with Invisalign? Our doctors at South Shore Dental Care here in Massapequa are ready to answer your questions. Call our office today to schedule your consultation appointment. Dr. Dory Stutman and Dr. Khalida Stutman also serve patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh.
