A dental crown is a general dentistry procedure sometimes called a cap because it covers or ‘caps’ the entire tooth, so none of your original tooth is visible. We fabricate our dental crowns from a range of durable materials, including gold, porcelain fused to metal, porcelain only, and zirconia. Once we fit a dental crown, it provides excellent protection for the tooth underneath. A well-crafted, custom crown can improve the appearance of your smile.

Porcelain dental crowns are often the most effective way to preserve as much of the structural integrity of a damaged tooth as possible while restoring its health, shape, and overall appearance. Custom-crafted to cover the entire surface area of the tooth, dental crowns are an excellent treatment for teeth that are cracked, broken, or structurally weak. By restoring strength to these weaker teeth, our dentists can significantly reduce and often eliminate tooth pain or sensitivity. In the process, porcelain crowns also conceal flaws in the appearance of the teeth, resulting in a more radiant, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Preserve the structural integrity of a damaged tooth while restoring its health, shape, and appearance.

Benefits of Dental Crowns
Although there are a variety of options for replacing missing teeth or teeth too damaged to salvage, it is always best to save some of the natural tooth, if at all possible. Aside from the removal of decay or other areas of damage, dental crowns require further reshaping of the natural tooth to accommodate their size. They also protect the basic foundation of the natural tooth, which eventually can be lost if left untreated. As a result, dental crowns help patients avoid more serious future dental problems associated with missing teeth, such as the degradation of the jawbone and other oral tissues, and the shifting of surrounding teeth from their optimal positions.

At Gentle Dental, we use finely crafted porcelain dental crowns in a number of treatments. Sometimes we use them to secure larger fillings in teeth that are fragile or otherwise structurally compromised. They are also used to support the replacement teeth in dental bridges, as well as to replace missing individual teeth when attached to dental implant posts. Dr. Knop, Dr. Ilyabayev and Dr. Gelfand rely on their years of dental expertise to create dental crowns that blend beautifully with surrounding natural teeth, ensuring results that are as cosmetically impressive as they are strong and functional.

Dental treatments for children rely on many of the same techniques used in general dental practice, but of course in pediatric dentistry they are geared to children.

The best Dental Care of your child
At Gentle Dental, caring for your child’s oral health through prevention, quality treatment, and positive motivation is our top priority. We are committed to family-oriented dental care in a pleasant and comfortable setting and we encourage parents to play an active role in their child’s oral health.

Dr. Gelfand and our entire staff are trained to help make your child’s visit with us as positive as possible. We understand that children are often afraid of the dentist and all of us strive to help them overcome their fears.

Along with a chair-side manner we tailor to children, our office is also specially designed to meet the needs of children over 6 years of age. We have various video games and on-demand children’s shows and movies that can be played through our in-room TV/media center during their appointment.

It is never too soon to begin caring for your child’s teeth, and at Gentle Dental, we take a preventive approach, encouraging parents and caregivers to become involved in their child’s dental care. By providing high quality, appropriate pediatric dentistry, we can help your child enjoy good dental health right from the start. Our dental office is family-oriented, and we work hard to create a comfortable, relaxing environment. Our entire dental team enjoys seeing children, treating them as gently as if they were our family.

How is Kids Dental Care Different from Adult Dentistry?
While the dental treatments prescribed by a kid’s dentist in Queens use techniques similar to adult dentistry, we specially tailor procedures to treat children and to accommodate their unique needs. We warmly welcome children visiting our kids’ dentist in Queens, carefully ensuring our chairside manner helps them feel at home. Our dental office is designed with kids in mind, and our in-room entertainment system includes on-demand kids shows and movies for them to watch during their appointment.

When Should I Schedule My Child’s First Dental Appointment?
Ideally, it’s best to schedule your child’s first dental visit by age 1, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Usually, a child’s primary teeth begin erupting around age six months, and this first visit is an opportunity for a pediatric dentist in Queens to check their teeth and jaws are developing as expected.

Why Does My Child Need to See a Dentist so Young?
Early dental care aims to ensure a child visits a pediatric dentist before problems develop with their teeth so that any small issues can be caught early and treated more quickly and comfortably. Also, the sooner a child begins visiting a dental office, the sooner they become accustomed to a new environment and all the accompanying sights, sounds, and smells.

What to Expect During Your Child’s First Dental Visit?
When a child is very young, they can almost certainly remain comfortably seated on your lap while we gently examine their mouth while older children may enjoy a ride in the dental chair. During this visit, we may need to take digital dental x-rays to check teeth are coming through the way they should and to check for any signs of decay. Digital dental x-rays are very safe, only omitting tiny levels of radiation, and we only take x-rays as needed.

How Often Will My Child Need to See a Pediatric Dentist?
After this initial visit, we can discuss how frequently your child should visit a pediatric dentist in Queens. Most children need to see a dentist biannually for checkups and dental cleanings. It is a simple routine that can prevent many dental diseases. Also, regular dental visits help your child to grow up without feeling dental fear and anxiety. Instead, they will recognize dental care as a normal part of life.During your child’s first visit, we can also discuss oral care 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.

Root canals relieve tooth pain, and are not as scary or painful as most people think. There is perhaps no dental procedure more widely known and misunderstood than the root canal. Root canal is a quick and relatively pain-free treatment key to saving your natural teeth.

The basics of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal (endodontic) therapy is actually an extremely safe, relatively pain-free treatment that has helped millions of people preserve the health of their teeth across the country. Rather than causing discomfort, root canal therapy is often the most immediate and effective way of relieving excruciating tooth pain.

Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment is an excellent procedure that can save a severely infected tooth, preventing its removal. It gets rid of severe toothache and is no more uncomfortable than a filling. Once the procedure is complete, it helps to prevent the tooth from becoming reinfected.

We prefer to save natural teeth whenever possible, as it is almost always the best solution. Otherwise, we would need to replace the tooth with a dental bridge or a dental implant, both of which would cost more and require more time to complete compared with a root canal procedure.

Each tooth in the human mouth contains a long, thin strand of pulp that extends down into the root of the tooth. This dental pulp contains nerves, arteries, blood vessels, and connective tissue that can be damaged by decay or injury. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, the result is often unbearable tooth pain and, over time, the death of the tooth. Root canal therapy involves the removal of this affected pulp through a gap that is created in the natural crown of the tooth. Once the pulp has been removed and the root canal has been cleaned and filled with a material to prevent further infection, the tooth is sealed with a porcelain crown.

One of the primary advantages of root canal therapy is that it allows for the preservation of most of the natural tooth. In addition, our Waterlase® laser dentistry system allows us to perform root canal therapy with absolute precision and without the use of a traditional drill, further taking the anxiety out of a largely pain-free procedure.

Understanding Your Tooth Structure
Right at the center of your tooth is a collection of soft tissues, nerves, and blood vessels called the dental pulp. It’s housed in a space called the pulp chamber. The pulp chamber has channels or root canals extending into the tooth root. The dental pulp tissues extend into these root canals, providing nutrition to the tooth, which is essential while it is developing. Once a tooth is fully developed, it can survive without the dental pulp but is called a ‘non-vital’ tooth because it is essentially dead inside.

Why Would I Need Root Canal Treatment?
Normally your dental pulp is protected by the outer layers of your tooth, which include the dentin around it and the tough outer layer of tooth enamel that protects the entire portion of the tooth visible in the mouth. If the tooth enamel becomes damaged through infection or decay, harmful bacteria can enter the tooth, eroding the dentin and causing a cavity that eventually reaches the dental pulp.By the time the infection has reached the dental pulp, you will most likely have a severe toothache because it will aggravate the nerves in the pulp. The infection cannot clear up on its own and does require professional dental care to prevent it worsening, and so we can try to save the tooth with root canal treatment.

How to Get Rid of Tooth Infection?
An infected tooth can be extremely painful, and we make every effort to see people in discomfort or pain as quickly as possible. We can perform diagnostic tests to determine if a tooth is infected. These include digital dental x-rays and tests to assess tooth sensitivity. Once we have determined if an infection is present, we will discuss if root canal treatment is a suitable option.Not every infected tooth can be saved with root canal treatment. If the infection is especially severe and has developed into a dental abscess, we may have no alternative but to remove the tooth so the infection can drain.

If you have a toothache, please contact us for help. The sooner we treat tooth infections, the greater the chance that we can save the tooth. We will also make sure you feel much more comfortable and are pain-free quickly.

What is a Root Canal Procedure?
A root canal procedure is also called root canal therapy or endodontic therapy. It’s an intricate treatment that cleans out the pulp chamber, removing your dental pulp and all the tissues extending into the root canals. Getting rid of these tissues helps to eliminate the infection, allowing us to fill and restore the tooth permanently.

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.

We all know the secret to healthy teeth: brush regularly, floss regularly and keep sugars to a minimum. However, the food you eat can also play a part in maintaining a healthy mouth and, while no food will ever replace the need to brush, there are some that are surprisingly healthy for your teeth.

1. Chewing gum

Whether or not this qualifies as food is debatable, and we would strongly advise against swallowing it. However, as many advertisements promise, chewing gum is indeed good for your teeth, provided it is sugar free. This is because chewing speeds up saliva production, which in turn helps rinse away harmful acids more effectively. As an added bonus, it makes your breath smell better.

2. Salmon

Vitamin D is an essential vitamin for good oral health, as it effectively allows your body to better absorb calcium and put it to good use throughout your body. Salmon is packed full of both Vitamin D and calcium, making it an all-round superfood for helping to maintain healthy teeth and gums. 

3. Carrots

Carrots have been hailed a cavity fighting vegetable, as munching on sticks of crunchy, raw carrot acts as a natural toothbrush. The chewing action massages your gums, and this bright vegetable is high in plaque-attacking keratin as well as  Vitamin A, which is crucial for strengthening delicate tooth enamel. All-in-all it’s a good choice for an in-between-meal snack.

4. Cheese

Cheese is great for your teeth. Not only does it have high levels of phosphate and calcium, which naturally strengthen teeth and bones, but it also helps balance the pH level in your mouth, which means less harmful acid, more cleansing saliva and fewer cavities.

5. Yoghurt

Unsweetened natural yoghurt makes a great healthy breakfast or snack. For the benefit of your teeth, yoghurt contains both casein and calcium, which strengthen enamel and help repair it if it happens to be damaged.

6. Sesame seeds

Eating sesame seeds on their own, or baked into bread will help you in two ways. First of all, as you chew, they help to scrub plaque from your teeth and, secondly, they’re high in calcium. Just make sure any seeds caught between your teeth are removed as soon as possible.

7. Onions

Raw onion is incredibly healthy for you, and as an added bonus, the antibacterial sulphur compounds contained in an onion will kill the harmful bacteria on your teeth. But you might want to chew gum afterwards!

8. Celery

Celery gives your teeth a great workout. As you chew celery, it helps to clean your teeth and massages your gums in the process, while all that chewing will also produce plenty of saliva to neutralise bacteria.

9. Apples

Apples are highly acidic and you could be forgiven for thinking that would weaken the enamel on your teeth. However, the natural sugars contained within apples actually help neutralise harmful acids in the mouth. As well as this, chewing apples is another good mouth workout for saliva production, and they’re packed with vitamins to keep your gums healthy.

10. Strawberries

Strawberries are sweet, acidic and tend to stain things red, so how can they possibly be good for your teeth? Strawberries contain malic acid, which is actually a good natural whitener for enamel – eating strawberries will actually help keep your teeth free of stains. Just be mindful that strawberry seeds can get stuck between your teeth, so make sure you floss after eating them.

Today, dentistry has become a wide subject offering an extensive range of services from general to preventive to restorative and the most recent cosmetic. People adopt cosmetic dental office for many reasons, even for aesthetic purposes.

The fact that most cosmetic treatments aren’t offered under insurance plans, proved to be a roadblock for many patients.

Have you ever seen your grandparents without teeth? Don’t you think, they find it difficult to eat and even speak? Without teeth, there aren’t only aesthetic issues, but general health is also compromised. Thus, periodontal maintenance and immediate attention to any gum or teeth problems are necessary in order to ascertain dental health.

According to the American Academy of Periodontology, about 80% of the Americans face some kind of gum disease in their lives. Nearly 50% of these issues are moderate to severe. Among all those periodontal or gum diseases, periodontitis is the most common one. Periodontitis is a serious condition that not only affects your dental health but overall health, in general.

Gum disease is an illness that impacts periodontal tissues. It influences the alveolar bone, periodontal tendon, cementum, and periodontal line. Gum illnesses are classified into two categories, namely gingivitis and periodontitis. They are very usual and impact a large number of people. If left unchecked or neglected, the infection can spread to the bone and can even cause the loss of cells. In such instances, the periodontal disease treatment Houston becomes necessary else, the teeth will need to be drawn out.

A periodontal treatment includes regenerative or restorative treatments as well as surgeries. The surgical treatment is utilized when it is thought that regenerative or restorative procedures will not function. The objective of the treatment is to remove the microorganisms that are causing the infection. If the illness is in the first stages, it can be effectively dealt with by utilizing antibiotics. Correct dental health is very important throughout the whole treatment procedure. If discovered early, periodontal maintenance can be easily achieved by keeping great dental health. Scaling and Root Planing is the most common treatment approach used in periodontal treatment.

• Scaling and Root Planing is a common therapy procedure which is utilized to deal with gum disease. Scaling is carried out to remove the plaque and calculus from the teeth. The plaque layer is mechanically removed from the teeth. Ultrasonic instruments might be utilized to eliminate the infection. Root planing is done to smoothen the roots to help your gums re-attach to your teeth.

Depending on the level of infection, the treatment procedure will vary. Normally, four checkouts are needed. When it comes to extreme gum illness, there may be a loss of bone cells as a result of the spread of infection. The operation may be a lot more intrusive as well as in case of substantial damages to the bone cells, bone grafting might be needed.

• Maintenance of correct dental hygiene is an important part of the therapy procedure. This is called periodontal maintenance.
