Our practice is unique in that we provide the surgical, cosmetic and prosthetic components of reconstructive dentistry under one facility. Why do patients travel from across the United States to us for full mouth reconstruction and cosmetic makeovers? We believe it's a combination of our facility, credentials, and technology that are uniquely offered.

We provide one appointment crowns and inlays. No need for temporary crowns, and no second cement appointment. As the first dental practice in New York to have the E4D CAD Cam milling machine we are ahead of the curve with this revolutionary technology. We are an exclusive member of the E4D Century Club, signifying the first 100 E4D dentists in the world to have this incredible technology. The laser scanning of the E4D machine has improved accuracy over the previous generation scanning and milling that required a powder to optically read margins. This is the future of dentistry and is available for our patients to benefit.

With many different biocompatible materials to choose from, this is truly ideal treatment to restore broken and decayed teeth and create veneers in a very conservative way.

We are a Periolase certified office which allows us to treat periodontal disease with an FDA approved laser and treatment protocol. With gum disease being so prevalent, we can treat advanced gum disease that would normally require surgery. The Periolase process doesn't involve any cutting or sutures. It actually regenerates tissue as opposed to taking it away through surgery.

We are a dental hygiene based practice. There are 4 treatment rooms specifically for treatment by our dental hygienists. A key concept in our practice philosophy is that our patients' dental treatment starts with healthy gums as a foundation. Careful twice a year monitoring and teeth cleanings by our dental hygienists insures that patients of our practice maintain their oral health and therefore the health of the entire body. This ties in with our integrative care philosophy. Published literature relates the health of a persons gums to their over-all health including the heart and other organs. For moderate to advanced gum disease we utilize the Periolase TM from Millenium Technologies.This allows us to treat periodontal cases without the need for surgery. We are one of the few dental offices certified to perform this FDA approved procedure.

Within our dental practice facility, almost all areas of dentistry can be performed. Tooth replacement is done via dental implant placement as well as restoration of dental implants placed. Bone can also be grafted if there is insufficient bone for dental implant placement. Family dental care is also delivered utilizing bio compatible materials. All treatment can be performed with conscious sedation for apprehensive patients.

Many unique modalities of dental treatment are performed in our facility. Sedation dentistry, acupuncture with dental treatment, dental implant surgery and restoration, gum surgery, and much more. Our practice philosophy is that each modality of dental treatment is performed by the practitioner that is best trained in that area. Working as a team, we can then deliver ideal dental care. This practice philosophy, at times, requires our patients be referred to certain dental specialists outside of our practice. These specialists are considered part of our treatment team. Some examples of this are root canal specialists, orthodontists, and children's dentists. Through utilizing an expert in the field when deemed necessary, our patients are assured the best care possible.

"The portrait studio" for cosmetic dentistry before and after photos:

We have a dedicated portrait studio equipped with professional lighting and backdrops. Through creating an ideal photographic image for our patients, we can best show them how they do look and how they look after a dental cosmetic makeover.This is our commitment to showing the importance of a patients image in relation to their everyday life.

The importance of taking a photograph with correct lighting can not be emphasized enough. We take cosmetic dentistry to the next level through providing a correctly lit image so our patients can , make a true assesment of their esthetic situation.
