There are many teenagers who can tell you just what orthodontics means. However, if you want a specific definition, the word "orthodontics" translates almost perfectly as "tooth straighten." Of course, this means that the practice of orthodontics refers to helping to straighten teeth through braces or another apparatus. Orthodontics is often used on teenagers simply because this is often the easiest time to get a straight smile, while the person is still young. However, more and more adults are choosing to straighten their teeth.

When orthodontics is used to straighten teeth in youth, the actual time needed to straighten the teeth is much shorter than it is for adults. It also helps avoid future problems like tooth decay when crooked teeth cannot be properly cleaned. This does not mean an adult cannot benefit from orthodontics. In fact, adults certainly can. The process just may take a bit longer to complete.

There are several different choices for orthodontics and each patient who comes to our office can choose an option that will work best for them. The traditional option of braces is not quite so traditional anymore. The actual metal brackets on the teeth are smaller and have a much lower profile. Ceramic brackets can also be used and appear like the white color of teeth.

Another, newer, orthodontics option is Invisalign. This option uses clear retainers called aligners. The retainers are changed on a regular basis to slowly change the position of teeth to straighten them. Many people prefer Invisalign because the aligners are barely noticeable. They can also be removed so that the patient can eat and clean their teeth as normal. Invisalign is a great option for professional adults who want to avoid the braces look.

The practice of orthodontics makes it easy for anyone to have straight teeth, which will provide a better smile and will make it easier to keep those teeth clean and healthy.


Oral Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the surgical specialty of dentistry that provides patients with surgical care of the mouth, face, jaws and associated structures. After attending four years of dental college, oral and maxillofacial surgeons become qualified as specialists through residencies in hospitals throughout the United States and are required to complete at least four years of additional training beyond dental school. Many Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons also hold medical degrees (MD) in addition to dental degrees (DDS) and receive training in general surgery as well. After training is completed, Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons can become

Surgical services offered by Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons include removal of teeth (especially wisdom teeth), preparation of the mouth for dentures and implant placement. Oral Surgeons also perform reconstructive surgery of oral and facial deformities, and facial injuries/fractures. In addition, Oral Surgeons also perform biopsies, removal of tumors or cysts of the jaws, face and mouth as well as perform cosmetic surgery of the oral and facial regions. These services are available both electively and on an emergency basis.

Because of their specialized training, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are able to offer qualified patients the option of varying levels of anesthesia and sedation during surgery. These options vary from local anesthesia to intravenous sedation. It is important to speak with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon before a procedure to find out what is appropriate for you. Most surgeries can be performed in the office setting, but certain patients may be best served in the hospital either as same-day surgery patients or as in-patients.

Nitrous oxide / oxygen is available and is a lighter form of sedation than IV sedation. Recovery from nitrous oxide sedation is rapid, and is safe for most but not all patients.


Non-Removeable / Removable Dentures

The news of our non-removable dentures has created quite a “buzz.” Only  full denture wearers can appreciate how powerful an image this is. Imagine no more adhesives, loose fitting dentures or bulky material in your mouth. You brush like you have your own natural teeth. Also, it is a more reasonable option in comparison to a full mouth of dental implants. Please call for a free consultation and see it for yourself. Call now! 203.790.0111

For new denture wearers
Immediate dentures offer the best way to introduce a denture. The process is simple. The dentures are fabricated prior to extractions. The day the teeth are removed, the denture is immediately placed allowing you to:

1. Maintain Appearance and Function
2. Protect sensitive areas during the healing process
3. Begin adjusting to your dentures immediately.

The advantage of having an on-site Denture Laboratory is that it allows us to offer faster service with increased quality control.

Root Canal


When is a Root Canal needed?

Signs of Endodontic Disease include:

• Pain when biting down
• Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
• Discoloration of the tooth
• Throbbing or severe pain
• Pain attributable to changes in atmospheric pressure, such as flying in a plane
• Pain attributable to eating sweet foods and swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums




Why May Endodontic Disease Cause Swelling?


Crowns And Bridges

The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of the tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

A crown is a cap made from various materials suitable for withstanding the biting and chewing forces that a normal tooth must endure. It is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance.

Why Is a Dental Crown Needed?
A dental crown may be needed to rebuild broken or decayed teeth or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth. To restore a damaged, broken or severely worn down tooth. To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't much of the tooth left. To secure a dental bridge in place. To cosmetically improve the appearance of misshaped or severely discolored teeth. To cover a dental implant

A DENTAL BRIDGE is an appliance made to permanently fit between two porcelain crowns.  The bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Today, we refer to this as a, FIXED BRIDGE. Think of a FIXED BRIDGE as a permanent bridge which cannot be removed the same way you remove (take out and put back on) partial dentures.


Dentures (more commonly known as (false teeth) or more rarely known as (fake teeth) are prostheticdevices constructed to replace missing teeth, and which are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable, however there are many different denture designs, some which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants. There are two main categories of dentures, depending on whether they are used to replace missing teeth on the mandibular arch or the maxillary arch.

Digital X-rays

Digital radiography is a form of x-ray imaging, where digital x-rays sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. Also less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.


Dental Fillings



Tooth decay is caused by specific types of acid-producing bacteria that cause damage in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.The mineral content of teeth is sensitive to increases in acidity from the production of lactic acid. Specifically, a tooth (which is primarily mineral in content) is in a constant state of back-and-forth demineralization and remineralization between the tooth and surrounding saliva. When the pH at the surface of the tooth drops below 5.5, demineralization proceeds faster than remineralization (meaning that there is a net loss of mineral structure on the tooth's surface). This results in the ensuing decay. Depending on the extent of tooth destruction, various treatments can be used to restore teeth to proper form, function, and aesthetics, but there is no known method to regenrate large amounts of tooth structure, though stem cell related research suggests one possibility. Instead, dental health organizations advocate preventive and prophylactic measures, such as regular oral hygiene and dietary modifications, to avoid dental caries.











IV Sedation

What is IV sedation dentistry?
IV stands for intravenous, which means sedative medication is administered through the veins. Because of its rapid effects many patients prefer this relaxation option.

How does IV sedation work?

What if I'm afraid of needles?

What are the benefits of IV sedation?
Just like other forms of sedation dentistry, IV sedation is designed to relax you and make you completely comfortable. IV sedation also eliminates your anxiety and pain. Although you may lie back in the dental chair with your eyes closed, you will not be asleep during your appointment and will still be able to respond to verbal cues from your dentist. Because you are completely relaxed, your dentist can accomplish more high-quality dentistry in less time. If you have a bad gag reflex or difficulty sitting in a dental chair for long periods, IV sedation will help you with that as well. You'll be so relaxed that you"ll be unaware of the sights, smells, and sounds of the dental office. Patients remember little-to-nothing of their appointmentby the next day.

IV sedation also gives your dentist optimum control of the amount of medication administered and allows the dentist to readily increase or decrease your level of sedation as needed, quickly and comfortably.


How long is the recovery time after my appointment?

Does dental insurance cover the cost of IV sedation?
Patients have different insurance plans, so there is no single answer. Generally speaking, most dental insurance plans do cover part or sometimes even all of the cost of IV sedation. It's best to check with your insurance provider prior to your appointment to confirm your plan's benefits.

Nitrous Oxide / Laughing Gas

Nitrous Oxidefor Dental Procedures

Nitrous oxide is a gas, commonly known as 'happy gas' or 'laughing gas'.Giving nitrous oxide is a way to help reduce a pain and anxiety during dental treatment.You will breathe the gas through a small nosepiece that sits on their nose. Usually recover quickly from the effects of the gas.

What to expect

Nitrous oxide sedation is done in the dental chair. You will breathe the sedation gas through a small nosepiece that sits on their nose. It does  not cover their mouth.

The nitrous oxide makes patient feel sleepy and relaxed. Patient will still be aware of what is happening around them but will feel more relaxed, dreamy and floaty, warm, have tingling in their hands and feet and may be a bit forgetful. They may not be able to remember the procedure.While giving the nitrous oxide, staff will monitor your level of sedation to ensure that they can still cooperate and hold their mouth open.

Dental treatment will be done in the usual manner. Local anaesthesia may also be used and can be given when the child is sedated.

Scaling And Root Planing

Scaling and Root planning is one of the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it becomes severe. Root planning and scaling cleans between the gums and the teeth down to the roots. Your dentist may need to use a local anesthetic to numb your gums and the roots of your teeth.

Some dentists and dental hygienists will use an ultrasonic tool for the planning and scaling. This tool is not as uncomfortable as a standard scraping tool, but not all cleanings require this type of tool.
