Let's talk about straight teeth!

Let's face it! Metal braces are no longer fashionable. The current trend in the orthodontic treatment is clear braces from Invisalign. And everyone has either heard of it or has had a friend/ relative who has worn or currently wears the clear trays. Invisalign has been the most desired dental fashion and some even consider it an accessory. From ordinary folks, teenagers to actors and models, everyone is obssessed with the ease and efficacy of this orthodontic device.

Here is how it works: Over the course of your treatment, you will be supplied with a series of aligners. They are custom-made for you, to move your teeth with the force and sequence determined by your doctor.  You have to wear each aligned for an average of 2-3 weeks.

The aligners resemble teeth-whitening trays; they are made of a thermoplastic material uniquely developed for the Invisalign treatment plan. You should wear each tray for at least 20-22 hours. When the aligners are placed on the teeth, they cause the teeth to gradually shift from their current position. The length of treatment depends on the severity of your case and can only be determined by your doctor; however, the average full course case takes about 9-12 months for adults. At the end of your treatment course you can enjoy your Hollywood straight smile! See for yourself how it works:

Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?
In most cases, Invisalign treatment is comparable to the cost of traditional braces. In general, if a patient has orthodontic coverage, Invisalign should be covered to the same extent as conventional braces with thier dental plan. If you would like to take advantage of our spring special for Invisalign treatment ($3,999 for a full course treatment and $2,699 for express treatment course) or if you would like to schedule a consultation to determine whether you are a candidate for the procedure, call us at  212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com today!

Need an Extreme Dental Makeover?

Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!

I'll bet you've seen the makeover reality shows where a regular person is transformed into someone almost unrecognizable. Even if you don't like that sort of show, it can be hard not to get sucked in. We watch as an individual's appearance (and often self-esteem) is dramatically improved. But sometimes we end up reflecting on our own imperfections...

If it's your smile you're worried about, cosmetic dentistry can help. We have lots of ways to improve - or even revolutionize - your smile. Here are some of the most popular (and most effective) cosmetic dental procedures available in our office:

Veneers – When a dental makeover is instant and dramatic, the most notable changes to the smile were probably the result of veneers. Typically made of porcelain or a composite material, veneers are thin coatings that adhere to your teeth. Veneers can completely transform your smile, resolving discoloration, gaps, teeth of varying lengths and sizes, chips, cracks and more.

Implants – This is the replacement of a tooth with a false root that is surgically placed. It is then followed by the careful construction of a crown/bridge to replace the missing tooth, to prevent teeth from shifting and thereby causing further tooth loss.

Invisalign – The days of clunky metal braces are gone, for the most part at least. Today's key orthodontic solution is Invisalign, a barely-there teeth positioning product. Tooth straightening and repositioning are achieved through a series of clear trays that fit over your teeth. They're removable, comfortable, and practically invisible.

Whitening – Chances are you've noticed a recent surge in dental whitening products advertised on television and in magazines. If veneers are either too expensive or too excessive for your style or budget, whitening can restore a bright white smile, peeling back years of stains and abuse. Though you can use over-the-counter products to bleach your teeth, the results will be more dramatic and effective if you seek help from a dental professional. You can choose a home bleaching system or a chair-side procedure for instant results. Tooth whitening can quickly and easily knock years off your smile.

While these are just three of several cosmetic techniques that can bring you a new smile, they are among the most dramatic solutions available today. If you're interested in learning more about restoring your own smile, or creating a new one entirely, contact our office at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com to schedule a consultation. We'll take good care of you!
