Cosmetic Dentistry in DUMBO

When people hear “cosmetic dentistry,” they often think it’s purely for appearance. However, while enhancing your smile is a significant part of cosmetic dentistry, it also provides significant functional benefits.

Treatments like Invisalign®, dental crowns, bridges, veneers, and bonding not only improve the alignment, brightness, and symmetry of your teeth but also enhance the function of your bite. This can result in fewer headaches, improved biting and chewing, easier cleaning, and reduced wear on chewing surfaces over time. Some procedures, such as orthodontic treatment, directly address jaw pain and bite issues, improving both comfort and oral health.

Plus, the confidence boost of a brighter, properly aligned smile has a tangible impact on social and professional success.

Veneers can be used to fix small gaps or minor misalignments in teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that a dentist can bond to the front of your teeth. Along with small gaps and minor misalignments, veneers can also conceal other imperfections, including:

• Chips, breaks, or fractures
• Misshapen teeth
• Stains or discolorations
• Gummy smiles
• Height or size differences between teeth
• Short or worn-out teeth

Veneers are best suited to cosmetic improvements. If you need a major orthodontic correction, your dentist may recommend clear aligners or braces instead of veneers. The veneer placement process generally involves removing a small portion of your tooth enamel and then bonding the shell to the front of your tooth. Enamel removal is permanent, so you want to ensure that veneers are right for you.

Interested in Veneers for Small Gaps or a Minor Misalignment?

Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and talk to you about whether veneers or other treatments are the best course of action for your needs. They’ll consider factors like the size of the gap, the degree of misalignment, your bite, and overall oral health. Patients usually see dramatic improvements in their smile’s appearance with veneers. But it’s important to remember that the treatment permanently alters your teeth.

Dental implants are one of the most significant advancements in dentistry. Unlike a dental bridge attached to teeth adjacent to the missing space, a dental implant is a standalone prosthesis placed into the jawbone, replacing your tooth and its valuable root.

We fabricate a dental crown to attach to the implant for single dental implants. The crown functions like a natural tooth, and it is a surprisingly conservative treatment for replacing missing teeth.

Your dentist in 11201 may discuss an implant-retained bridge or denture if you have multiple missing teeth. 

The Dental Implant Process

The first step to a new smile is a consultation with your Brooklyn dentist. This appointment determines your eligibility for dental implants. If you are a candidate, we will schedule your implant placement. 

After placement, you'll enjoy an integration period. This lasts a few months and encourages the implant posts to integrate into the jawbone. 

The final step is. dental crown or prosthetic placement. Typically, it takes up to six dental implants to secure a prosthetic.
