About Our Cosmetic Dentistry Program
Montefiore Einstein Cosmetic Dentistry provides care focused on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and smile. Unlike general dentistry, which primarily addresses oral health and function, cosmetic dentistry combines art and science to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Our cosmetic procedures also provide functional solutions, such as restoring damaged, missing or misaligned teeth.
Preventative Services
Montefiore Einstein’s cosmetic dentistry services are individualized and tailored to every patient’s specific needs and enhancement preferences. We combine state-of-the-art dental technology and techniques to deliver long-lasting and natural results. Here are the core preventative procedures performed by our experts that will help you maintain a beautiful smile:
Dental Cleanings
Daily hygiene is critical to ensure good oral health. However, getting regular professional cleanings is a close second. Dental cleanings remove deposits that you can’t remove at home. We’ll also polish your teeth to a beautiful shine while checking them for developing problems.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants stop food and bacteria from collecting in the deep grooves of your molars (the square back teeth). Sealants effectively prevent you from developing cavities in these teeth. Sealants are commonly used for children but are becoming more popular for adults as a preventative measure.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is more easily treatable and has better outcomes when detected early. Montefiore Einstein uses early cancer screening to improve our ability to detect precancerous lesions so cancer won’t sneak up on you.
Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry
At Montefiore Einstein Cosmetic Dentistry, we focus on diagnosing and treating dental issues that can affect the function of teeth, as well as their health and appearance. While preventative dentistry can reduce the damage your teeth experience from conditions such as tooth decay, restorative dentistry involves diagnosing and repairing dental issues, including replacing missing teeth. Most people will need restorative dentistry at some point in their lives.
Restorative dentistry is about making your teeth healthy, strong and functional again after damage. Montefiore Einstein dentists are committed to giving you a smile that is just as functional as it is beautiful through techniques like endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) and the procedures we offer.
Dental Fillings
Over 90% of Americans will develop a cavity. The most common treatment for a cavity is a filling. Our providers use tooth-colored composite fillings instead of metal amalgam.
Inlays & Onlays
Ceramic fillings, also known as inlays and onlays, are used when you have a large cavity because they are more attractive. These fillings appear like natural tooth enamel and are stronger than other fillings.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown covers a badly damaged tooth, providing protection and support. It also gives the tooth an entirely new visible surface, enhancing its appearance and repairing it. A dental bridge is a form of tooth replacement that uses one or more natural teeth to support the prosthetic tooth. Usually, this means placing dental crowns over the neighboring teeth. These crowns are attached to the prosthetic tooth, giving you a fully functional replacement tooth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are realistic artificial teeth anchored into your natural jaw tissue. They are a permanent solution to tooth loss, bone loss and aesthetic concerns tied to missing teeth. With our periodontists and prosthodontists, you’ll enjoy the benefits of specialist care throughout the procedure.
