We Are Your New York City Cosmetic Dentists!

Dear Patients,


Dental disease is preventable and you can practice preventive dentistry on yourself by adopting these healthy habits:

• always remember to brush your teeth at least twice a day;
• floss between teeth at least once a day;
• eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks;
• don't forget to schedule regular dental visits.

However, should you fail to implement these healthy habits in your daily routine, with time the results is loosing teeth. There are actually several negative consequences of missing some or all of your teeth. First, missing teeth will affect the aesthetics of your face. Not only will your smile be affected by the gaps from missing teeth, but if you’re missing too many teeth, the skin around your mouth won’t be supported properly and will start to sag, making you appear older than you are.

Additionally, missing teeth will make it more difficult to chew your food properly, absorb the nutrients, hence deteriorate your overall health and may even affect the way you speak, making you feel less confident about your smile. If you are currently missing any of your teeth, you should consider replacing them with dental implants, which can look and feel just like natural teeth.

At Herald Square Dental you can count on us!  Our humane and professional staff and approach will help you obtain the smile you have always wanted! We are conveniently located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, easily accessible by NYC Subways, PATH, NJ Transit, LIRR, Metro North Rail Road.  Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song are highly qualified in all areas of cosmetic and general dentistry procedures, they will take the time to listen to your concern and offer you any possible treatment option for your specific dental needs; they will provide you their expert recommendation of which treatment scenario will help you achieve optimal dental health.

ADA Launches Online Dental Symptom Checker

American Dental Association has just introduced a newly developed feature on their online portal MouthHealthy.org.  The so called "Dental Symptom Checker" is a tool that has been designed to "provide patients with accurate information about their symptoms and help them make better-informed decisions about their oral health".   It is not meant to diagnose or replace the role of the dentist, however with its help  patients can "identify the location of the symptom they’re having and other factors, such as pain or discharge, and read about various conditions that fit that description".  Apparently this was a top requested feature by consumers, therefore it is now available as an interactive Web platform on MouthHealthy.org, as well as a downloadable app on iTunes and Google Play.

If you have any dental complaint or symptom you would like to learn more about, you could try this new tool, or, even better, call us to schedule an appointment for a free consultation! We are here to help you and to give you a reason to smile!

The Benefits of Implants!

Implants are popular and effective way to replace missing teeth.

Implants can be used to replace single missing teeth or to support a bridge when several teeth are missing.

If  you are missing all of your teeth, an implant supported denture can replace the missing teeth.  Implants are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.  Because the dental implants integrate with the jawbone, an implant supported denture tends to be comfortable and stable, allowing you to bite and chew naturally!

With careful treatment planning and good oral care, dental implants can provide a healthy, stable smile and you can obtain the look and feel of having your own natural teeth! You will be able to smile, bite and chew as naturally as you did before the loss of teeth.  

The development and use of implants has been one of the biggest advances in dental health care in the past 40 years.  ADA reports that US dentists place more than 5.5 million implants annually. 

If you are interested to find out if you are a candidate for such treatment please contact us at 212-689-0024 to schedule a consultation with our experienced implantologists Dr. Yam  and Dr. Shirzadnia.
