PROCEDURES

Smile Esthetic Reshaping Sometimes a tremendous improvement can be made to your smile just through reshaping your natural teeth. Enameloplasty, removal of a thin amount of enamel, can often remove stains and correct the chips or “jagged edges,” and can be done quickly and without the need for any anesthetic. Based on your natural teeth and specific facial features, Dr. Sorokolit will work with your expectations to help guide you to a beautiful smile exactly suited to you.

Periodontal Gum Disease The word periodontal means “around the tooth”. Periodontal disease attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). When plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone. Periodontal disease is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.

In office Whitening We can safely whiten your teeth an average of 8 shades in just one hour. This is an ideal procedure for people who need whitening in a hurry, and for people who have sensitive teeth and find the traditional at-home whitening systems too difficult to complete.

Veneers A veneer is a thin layer of material placed over a tooth surface to mask stains, hide chips, correct misalignment, and create uniformity. There are two types of materials used in a veneer, composite and porcelain. A composite veneer is directly bonded to the tooth in a single visit using a resin cement, and will slowly collect stain over time, usually necessitating replacement in 7-10 years depending on staining habits. In contrast, a porcelain veneer is indirectly fabricated by a laboratory, requires two visits, and will not collect stain like a composite veneer.

Invisalign is a remarkable system of invisible aligners that help straighten teeth comfortably without metal bands, brackets or wires. The pieces are easily removable so you can eat, drink, brush and floss. Click here to learn more about Invisalign.

Composite fillings Often referred as "bonding," composite fillings are tooth colored and can be done immediately as emergency repair of broken teeth. Composite fillings can also be used to replace unaesthetic old silver fillings. Click here to see examples of Dr. Sorokolit's composite fillings.

Dental Implants are small prosthetic posts that are placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. They act as replacements for the root portion of lost natural teeth and also serve as an anchor for replacement teeth. Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth, and are appropriate for almost anyone who is currently missing teeth or is at risk of losing teeth.

Root canals can prevent tooth decay and loss when the pulp (soft core of the tooth that provides nutrients) is damaged due to bacterial infection in a deep cavity, crack or other problem. Despite its unwarranted reputation as a painful ordeal, a root canal is normally as comfortable a procedure as the placement of a filling, and can usually be completed in a single visit within one hour. During the procedure, the damaged pulp is removed, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off, and a crown is bonded to the tooth (sometimes a temporary filling is placed first) to maintain strength.

NTI/Nightguard In some cases, headaches and migraines are caused by tension from clenching or grinding in your sleep. When this happens, wearing a device at night called an NTI appliance takes the pressure off your jaw and eliminates or reduces the headaches or migraines. This appliance is the first clinically proven, non-drug method for the prevention of migraines. The NTI-tss is a small, virtually invisible mouthpiece that covers only your upper front teeth while you sleep. This appliance may be indicated for daytime wear also.

Dentures/Partial Dentures Dentures take the place of missing natural teeth, improving function and appearance. They reduce and equalize the biting forces on remaining natural teeth while boosting self-confidence. Full dentures are used when all of a patient's teeth need to be replaced. Partial dentures are used when only a few teeth are missing. In either case, dentures can help you look and feel your best.
