Porcelain Veneers

When you get porcelain veneers in New York at Zen Dentistry, we add thin shells of tooth-colored material that are permanently bonded to the front surface of damaged teeth to enhance their appearance. They’re typically made from resin-composite or porcelain materials and can be recommended to treat a range of cosmetic dental concerns. Our porcelain veneers provide a long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile.

Common Issues Porcelain Veneers Can Address

  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Discoloration or staining that can’t be corrected with whitening
  • Smaller-than-average teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Unusually shaped or pointed teeth

Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Depending on your individual case, our experienced team may recommend a single veneer to repair damage or multiple veneers to create a balanced, symmetrical smile. Veneers are typically applied to the top front six to eight teeth for enhanced aesthetics, helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Dental Crowns

A tooth that is broken, damaged, or in poor condition can be harmful to your health. It can also affect your comfort and self-confidence. Zen Dentistry offers dental crowns in New York to restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are almost exactly the way they sound – a crown, or cap, for your tooth. They help restore a tooth, resulting in a truly aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown

  • Tooth that is broken or fractured
  • Decayed teeth
  • Cosmetic benefits
  • Large or fractured fillings
  • Root canal

Restore Your Smile Today

Crowns also replace severe cases of tooth decay that have resulted in a large amount of tooth loss. Crowns allow dental specialists to restore form and function to your tooth without performing an extraction. It is always best to save as much real tooth/enamel as possible.

The Dental Crown Placement Process

This process begins with a consultation and exam, during which we develop a plan tailored to your needs. We take dental impressions to ensure a precise fit for your tooth. We also treat and resolve any decay or infection before placing the crown.

Once the impressions are ready, we place the crown for a proper fit. When your crown is fitted appropriately, you can regain confidence in your dental health and smile. If you have any questions about dental crowns in New York, please call our office.

Dental Bridges

Missing teeth can impact your confidence and oral health, but you can restore both seamlessly with dental bridges in New York from Zen Dentistry. Our custom bridges are crafted to fill gaps left by missing teeth, providing stability, functionality, and aesthetics. Using advanced materials and techniques, we ensure that your bridge blends flawlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a confident smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are custom-made prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Our bridges are crafted with precision and care to restore your smile’s appearance, function, and alignment. With our bridge design and fabrication specialization, we provide durable, natural-looking solutions that enhance your oral health and confidence in your smile.

Advantages of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer a range of benefits beyond just filling in missing teeth:

  • Restored Function: Bridges allow you to chew and speak naturally, improving overall oral function.
  • Preserved Jaw Structure: By filling gaps, bridges help maintain facial structure and prevent teeth from shifting.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: A well-designed bridge blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a confident smile.
  • Improved Oral Health: Replacing missing teeth reduces strain on surrounding teeth and prevents further dental issues.

Root Canal Therapy

The root canal New York is a specialized dental procedure performed by our skilled team at Zen Dentistry to treat infections within the tooth’s pulp—the innermost part containing nerves and blood vessels. This treatment involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing them to prevent further infection.

The benefits of a root canal are substantial: it alleviates severe pain and discomfort caused by infection, saves the natural tooth from extraction, maintains the tooth’s function and appearance, and prevents the spread of infection to adjacent teeth and tissues. Ultimately, a root canal helps preserve oral health and avoids the need for more extensive dental treatments.

Symptoms Indicating a Root Canal May Be Needed

  • Persistent or throbbing pain in a specific tooth, especially when chewing or applying pressure, may indicate an infection or inflammation of the pulp.
  • Heightened sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the stimulus is removed could signal pulp damage.
  • Tooth discoloration or darkening compared to surrounding teeth may indicate pulp necrosis.
  • A pimple-like bump on the gums near the affected tooth that releases pus or blood may indicate an abscess.
  • Loosening of a previously stable tooth may suggest damage or infection affecting its stability.

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact us today to learn more!

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

  • Pain Relief – By removing infected pulp tissue, root canal therapy alleviates severe tooth pain and restores comfort when chewing and biting.
  • Preservation of Natural Tooth – Unlike extractions, a root canal saves the natural tooth, maintaining alignment, preventing jawbone deterioration, and preserving facial aesthetics.
  • Prevention of Further Infection – The procedure removes bacteria and infected tissue, sealing the canals to prevent reinfection.
  • Long-Term Durability – A treated tooth can remain healthy and functional for a lifetime with proper care.
  • Cost-Effective Solution – Root canal treatment is often more affordable in the long run than tooth extraction and replacement.

While often feared, a root canal is a highly effective treatment for preserving teeth and relieving pain caused by infection or damage. Visit Zen Dentistry at our convenient New York locations or call us to schedule your consultation today!

Inlays and Onlays

Get inlays and onlays in New York at Zen Dentistry to treat moderate tooth decay and damage. Unlike traditional fillings, they are custom-made outside of the dentist’s office in a laboratory. This procedure is a more conservative alternative to dental crowns or when a filling is insufficient to restore the tooth.

How Is an Inlay or Onlay Performed?

  • Numbing the Area – A local anesthetic is administered to ensure comfort.
  • Removing Decay – The damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is shaped for the inlay or onlay.
  • Taking Impressions – An impression is sent to a laboratory to create the custom restoration. A temporary inlay or onlay is placed in the meantime.
  • Final Placement – At your follow-up visit, the permanent inlay or onlay is bonded, adjusted for bite alignment, and polished.

Do Inlays and Onlays Require Special Care?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, inlays and onlays in New York can last between 10 and 30 years. They do not require special care beyond daily brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Inlays and onlays help prevent further tooth damage, reducing the need for more extensive restorations.

If you need gentle dental care, visit Zen Dentistry in New York for top-quality inlays and onlays. Schedule your consultation today!

Dental Sealants

If you need dental sealants in New York, choose Zen Dentistry. Dental sealants are usually made of polymer or resin, applied to the surface of molars and premolars for enhanced dental protection. Individuals with deep pits and fissures on their chewing surfaces may struggle to clean their teeth effectively, as toothbrush bristles may not reach trapped food and plaque. This leftover debris can lead to decay-causing bacteria and acid erosion, increasing the risk of cavities. 

Who Can Benefit from Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are recommended for both children and adults with deep grooves in their teeth. They are especially beneficial for individuals who:

  • Have a history of cavities
  • Struggle with effective brushing
  • Frequently consume sugary drinks or snacks

Step-by-Step Sealant Application Process

The application of dental sealants in New York is quick, painless, and only takes a few minutes per tooth:

  • Cleaning – The tooth is thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris.
  • Etching – A mild acid solution is applied to help the sealant bond effectively.
  • Application – The sealant is carefully applied to the tooth’s grooves.
  • Curing – Depending on the material, the sealant hardens naturally or with a specialized blue light.

Protect your teeth from cavities with dental sealants in New York at Zen Dentistry. Schedule your appointment today!

Gum Care

Gum disease, when left untreated or undiagnosed, remains the leading cause of tooth loss in older adults. Early symptoms include bad breath, swollen or tender gums, and gums that appear bright red, pink, or bleed easily. If you notice these signs, seek professional gum care in New York immediately. Losing even one tooth to gum disease is preventable with early intervention.

Causes and Risk Factors

Neglecting proper brushing and flossing can lead to gum disease and cavities. Professional cleanings help prevent tartar buildup, especially if your oral hygiene routine needs improvement. Certain medications may also weaken your body’s defenses, increasing your risk of gum disease.

Advanced Gum Care at Zen Dentistry

At Zen Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art ultrasonic instruments to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line. This deep cleaning eliminates bacterial colonies responsible for gum infections and bleeding. We also track healing progress through periodontal measurements during follow-up visits.

Treatment and Prevention

We apply medication directly into the gums for more severe cases to slow bacterial growth. We also recommend specialized mouthwashes to aid healing and prevent harmful bacteria from returning.

Take control of your oral health—schedule your consultation with Zen Dentistry today and protect your gums from disease!
