In as little as nine to fifteen months, you’ll have straighter, more uniform teeth. If you're looking for an "Invisalign treatment near me", then you should contact Gentle Dental. Gentle Dental's mission is to do teeth straightening in a comfortable and discreet way.

Invisalign provides a unique experience and key benefits.
Comfortable, removable, and virtually invisible, Invisalign orthodontic aligners do what traditional braces do but without metal and wire. And in as little as nine to fifteen months, you'll have straighter, more uniform teeth.

Beautifully straight and evenly aligned teeth automatically look more attractive, and straighter teeth are frequently easier to keep clean and free from disease. While conventional metal braces are still widely used in teeth straightening, these braces are far from discreet.

The Invisalign® Procedure and Our Invisalign-Certified Dentists
To commence your Queens Invisalign® treatment, our dentists of Gentle Dental first examine and determine the ideal positioning of your teeth. Based on a thorough examination and evaluation, Dr. Kogen or Dr. Gelfand — all Invisalign®-certified — can determine the ideal positioning of your teeth. This allows Invisalign to create a series of clear plastic aligners customized for you, each to be worn for approximately two weeks. The aligners progressively guide your teeth, gently and comfortably, to a final proper alignment.

Which Orthodontic Issues Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign is a comfortable and unnoticeable method of straightening your teeth. Invisalign can treat a range of orthodontic issues including:

Gaps. If you have extra spaces in between your teeth, you probably deal with food stuck in those gaps. This can turn into gaps in your gums that trap food and lead to gum disease. Invisalign braces not only straightens your teeth but also aligns them to close those gaps.

Overbites. An overbite is when your front teeth overlap your bottom teeth when your mouth is closed. This can wear down your teeth and cause jaw pain. Invisalign has a special appliance called the “Invisalign Mandibular Advancement” that can treat overbites.

Underbites. An underbite is when your lower teeth overlap your top teeth. An underbite can make it difficult for you to chew. Invisalign can treat your underbite with aligners you switch out every 2 weeks. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary.

Crossbites. A crossbite is when some of your top teeth land behind your bottom teeth when your mouth is closed. An untreated crossbite can wear down your teeth and cause your gums to recede. Your doctor in Queens, NY can show you images of how your crossbite is fixed with Invisalign. You may need to switch out your aligners every week.

Teeth straightening. We want your teeth to look great. For you to love your teeth they need to be straight. Invisalign can transform crooked teeth into a smile you can’t wait to show off. With new aligners every 2 weeks, the process is painless and virtually undetectable by anyone but you.

Teeth that are extensively decayed or infected, or which have lost a substantial part of the natural structure cannot always be saved and need removing. Other times, we may recommend tooth extraction in preparation for orthodontic treatment, creating enough room so your teeth can be moved into the correct positions. Partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth can also cause problems, in which case we will recommend their extraction. Sometimes baby teeth may not fall out naturally and prevent the adult teeth from coming through and need extracting.

Tooth extraction may be necessary due to tooth decay, crooked or worn down teeth, and problematic or impacted wisdom teeth.

Wisdom Teeth and Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Partial eruption or complete impaction of the wisdom teeth usually happens when there is lack of space in the mouth or the teeth are not in an upright position. Impacted teeth fail to emerge at the exact position and become trapped in the jawbone and gums. This can lead to unexpected pain and may result in infections.

A careful review of your dental history and X-rays allows us to determine the condition of impacted wisdom teeth. After a thorough examination, if wisdom teeth are found to be problematic, an early extraction may be suggested to avoid further problems.

Extraction procedures may create minor pain, swelling and bleeding. And we may prescribe antibiotic treatment to control infection, swelling and discomfort. We also provide you with instructions and tips on how to take care of yourself at home.

Learn about Periodontics
Fortunately, regular periodontal screenings and appropriate oral hygiene regimens can help control it, which is why at Bayside dentistry we encourage our patients to schedule regular periodontal oral examinations. Since periodontal disease often manifests no symptoms in its earliest stages, it is important even if you are not experiencing discomfort or signs of infection to seek routine periodontal care by an experienced periodontal professional.

Fortunately, gum disease is preventable with good periodontal care and ongoing preventive dental care. People with advanced gum disease will frequently need the care of a periodontist.

What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a field of dentistry covering the care of your periodontal tissues, which are the supporting structures around your teeth. Periodontal tissues include your gingiva or gums, the ligaments anchoring your teeth to the jawbone, and the jawbone itself, which is called alveolar bone.Without healthy periodontal tissues, your risk of suffering from tooth loss is substantially higher. Unfortunately, a common condition called periodontal disease or, more often, gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss worldwide. It’s estimated to affect some 80% of American adults to some degree during their lifetime. Fortunately, gum disease is preventable with good periodontal care and ongoing preventive dental care. People with advanced gum disease will frequently need the care of a periodontist.

What Is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a specialist dentist who has received extensive training in diagnosing and the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. Periodontists also specialize in placing dental implants. They can provide expert care if your oral tissues become inflamed and infected. Periodontists first must qualify as general dentists before spending an additional three years in further education. Periodontists provide a range of nonsurgical and surgical procedures. They use the latest techniques and equipment when treating periodontal problems.

Who Should See a Periodontist?
Generally, most gum problems can be managed by a family dentist. If you have more severe gum disease, a condition called periodontitis, then you may need to see a periodontist. You might also want to see a periodontist if your medical history is complicated and could affect treatment.Thanks to extensive clinical research, we now know there is a complex relationship between advanced periodontal disease and chronic diseases that include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and dementia. Receiving the best dental care for periodontal disease can help manage this disease more effectively and may reduce the risk of developing medical problems or existing medical issues from worsening.

Here at Gentle Dental, we take the problem of gum disease very seriously and monitor every patient carefully for signs of this disease. Your gum health is assessed at every checkup so we can detect the very first signs of gum disease and can offer appropriate treatment.

What Are the Signs of Periodontal Gum Disease?
Notify your dentist right away if you have any of the following warning signs of gum disease:
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Constant bad breath
- Pus between teeth
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
- Pain while chewing
- A noticeable change in tooth position when biting
- A noticeable change in the fit of partial dental appliances

What Are the Causes of Gum Disease?
Periodontal disease is caused by plaque and, over time, tartar. Tartar is plaque in its hardened, mineralized form, and can occur both above and below the gumline. While plaque can often be removed through routine brushing and flossing, tartar can only be removed through a thorough cleaning by a dental professional. When left untreated, the buildup of tartar can result in periodontitis, a disease that adversely affects the bones, gums, and other supporting oral tissues.

Furthermore, research has found that gum disease can contribute to other serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, respiratory problems, diabetes, pneumonia, and increased health risks during pregnancy. Through regular periodontal screening, patients stand an excellent chance of halting the progress of the disease and preserving their natural teeth.

One of the most popular and effective ways to restore damaged, misshapen, or discolored teeth, is with porcelain veneers. These are thin yet highly durable porcelain sheets that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They are created to ensure they ideally complement the size, color, texture, and shape of your natural teeth.

Porcelain sheets bonded to the front surfaces of teeth, show off your new smile right away.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers have a very natural appearance. Like natural tooth enamel, porcelain is translucent, so they have a subtle radiance that will draw attention to your stunning new smile. In addition to being extremely natural looking, porcelain veneers can also be used to correct a variety of orthodontic problems. Indeed, veneers are so effective in resolving minor alignment problems that many patients use them as a form of “instant orthodontics.” Resilient, strong, and highly resistant to staining, porcelain veneers can last for many years with proper care.

Placement of Your Porcelain Veneers
The procedure involved in placing porcelain veneers is relatively quick and virtually painless. A small amount of enamel is removed from the surfaces of the teeth in order to accommodate the veneers, which are crafted according to precise specifications. Once the veneers are ready to be placed, the dentist bonds them to each tooth’s surface using a strong dental adhesive that hardens with exposure to a beam of light. Veneers fit comfortably and unobtrusively in your mouth, and you can show off your new smile right away.
