gum tissueIf you have a severely decayed smile, it may not be just your teeth that are missing or in need of repair.

Advantages of Dental Implants

March 20, 2013

Filed under: Dental Implants — Tags: , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 4:11 am

Last time, we talked about dental implants and why they’re important for the health of your smile. Today we’re going to compare dental implants to other tooth replacement methods to see why they’re the most effective option to restore the health, appearance and function of your smile. At South Shore Dental Care, we want our patients to be fully informed about all their smile choices.

When people think of replacing missing teeth, their first thought is often dentures. Dentures are a traditional way to help restore function if you’ve lost all or nearly all of your teeth. However, they’re removable, so there’s always the risk of them slipping or coming loose in public.

Crowns and bridges can also be used to replace missing teeth. While these can be sturdier than dentures, they don’t do anything about the missing tooth roots. Your tooth roots are important because without them, you could lose bone from your jaw.

Only dental implants give you a secure fit while creating a replacement tooth root to ensure the health of your jaw bone. Dental implants not only stop any further bone loss, but they can sometimes encourage growth of the jaw bone to replace what has been lost.

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.

Restore Your Smile’s Functionality and Appearance with a Full-Mouth Reconstruction

October 12, 2012

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 6:50 pm

For some patients, extensive decay, disease, or a serious injury has left their smile with limited functionality, or with a smile they’re embarrassed to share with others. In cases like these, one service may not be enough to restore functionality or appearance. That’s why, at South Shore Dental Care, Dr. Dory Stutman and Dr. Khalida Stutman are happy to provide a service called full-mouth reconstruction.

A full-mouth reconstruction uses multiple services and multiple appointments to do what just one service can’t—create a beautiful smile that gives you the maximum amount of functionality. Our Massapequa dental office offers a wide range of cosmetic and restorative dental services, including:

Depending on your needs, a full-mouth reconstruction would use several of these cosmetic or restorative services to help you achieve a smile that boosts confidence and restores your ability to chew effectively.

But which services are most right for you?

Dr. Dory Stutman or Dr. Khalida Stutman will help you determine that during your consultation appointment. At that time, we’ll assess what your needs are through an oral exam, and we’ll also talk to you about your concerns before finalizing a personalized treatment plan. We would also be happy to talk to you about your sedation options.

Are you ready to get your smile back on track with a full-mouth reconstruction from South Shore Dental Care? Call our Massapequa dental office today. Dr. Dory Stutman and Dr. Khalida Stutman proudly serve patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh.

Demonstrating a Commitment to Conservative Dentistry with Root Canals

September 12, 2012

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 7:58 am

No patient wants to hear that they need a root canal. But there’s a reason why doctors like Dr. Dory Stutman and Dr. Khalida Stutman perform them instead of just extracting teeth when they become infected. With a root canal, our South Shore Dental Care team can help you preserve more of natural smile, which will benefit you in the long run.

Tooth Extractions vs. Root Canals

Let’s take a moment to consider these two very different approaches to treating an infected tooth.

A tooth extraction, on the one hand, will help you eliminateinfection and restore your smile to a healthier state. But extracting a tooth also creates a particular complication. With a tooth now missing, you have to replace what you’ve lost to prevent surrounding teeth from repositioning. That means coming back to our Massapequa dental office for a whole other service, like a crown and bridge or a dental implant, which can also help you stave off bone loss.

Now consider the benefits of a root canal from South Shore Dental Care. With a root canal, there’s no missing tooth to replace and no threat of bone loss. Some patients may need to have their tooth capped with a crown, but that tooth and its root are still there, ensuring that your smile’s appearance and functionality aren’t negatively impacted.

Does Your Smile Need Restorative Care?

If you’ve recently been told you need a root canal but have been putting off care, get in touch with South Shore Dental Care today. Our Massapequa team would be happy to reserve a consultation visit for you, in addition to answering your questions. We serve patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh.

Mind the Gap—Restoring Your Smile with a Crown and Bridge

August 29, 2012

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 10:58 pm

When you lose a tooth, how your smile looks and functions will change. Eating certain foods will be more difficult, and over time, your remaining teeth will shift out of alignment. But a simple restorative dentistry service from South Shore Dental Care can help you restore functionality and prevent teeth from moving. It’s called a crown and bridge.

How Does a Crown and Bridge Work?

Like a dental implant, a crown and bridge is designed to fill in a gap in your smile. Unlike a dental implant, though, a crown and bridge doesn’t use a prosthetic root to anchor your new tooth. Instead, a crown and bridge includes a false tooth with a crown on either side. These crowns, which will cap the two healthy teeth surrounding your gap, are what will anchor your restoration and help you return to a full, healthy smile.

Getting Started

If you’ve lost a tooth because of poor oral health, an accident, or an injury, Dr. Dory Stutman or Dr. Khalida Stutman at South Shore Dental Care can help. And getting started is easy—you just need to give us a call to schedule your consultation appointment. During your visit, we can examine your smile and answer any questions you might have about what a crown and bridge involves. In all, treatment will take between two and three visits to complete.

Are you ready to get started? Call us today! Our office serves patients Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh with a wide array of great dental care services.
