Dental implants

Dental implants


You don’t have to walk around with missing teeth when a team of dental experts work within your time restraints and your budget to fit you with teeth implants in Manhattan. Join the legions of New Yorkers who find relief with dental implants when they thought they could never achieve the star-quality smile they craved. And if you’ve been injured in an accident and can’t wait for a long-term dental plan, see your SoHo dentist for immediate implant placement! Dental Implants Dental implants are designed to take the place of a tooth that’s been removed. Also called teeth implants, the artificial root serves as an anchor for teeth replacement. In downtown NYC, a cosmetic dentist like Dr. John Koutsoyiannis of Sohosmile sometimes uses tooth implants to complete a smile makeover. Dental implants also create a better chewing surface when you’ve lost critical teeth. They stabilize your jaw after you’ve had to have teeth extracted. Dr. John, who’s also a family dentist, has extensive experience treating periodontal disease, another condition that often creates a need for affordable dental implants. Permanent Solutions for Missing Teeth Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently anchored in your jaw. They won’t come out or wiggle loose. Dr. John, located in Lower Manhattan, offers a complete solution with dental implants, which can be used as an immediate implant placement in emergency situations. Missing teeth stop you from looking your best, especially when they’re in the front of your mouth. Implants also offer superior oral solutions over other options. Dr. John can attach bridges, partial dentures and crowns directly onto the implant, which gives you confidence while you’re speaking and eating.

Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers


Long-Lasting and Stain-Resistant Veneers Dental veneers can correct several visible and dental health issues. Veneers are extremely thin tooth-colored porcelain shells that cover and protect damaged teeth. Porcelain provides a natural-looking surface. It’s strong, long-lasting and stain-resistant. And these veneers require less tooth enamel to be removed than a crown. Traditional Porcelain Veneers If you hide your teeth with your hand when you smile, you may be a good candidate for dental veneers. Traditional porcelain veneers, the most common, cover and protect your teeth. Porcelain veneers can be a very durable option. Talk to a cosmetic dentist in Manhattan to see if veneers are right for you. Dr. John Koutsoyiannis is a skilled cosmetic dentist who can help you achieve your goals. At Sohosmile, creating porcelain veneers involves consideration of your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth, gum tissue and lips to develop a customized smile. Getting porcelain veneers is a cosmetic dentistry procedure. But besides providing a makeover for your smile, they also deliver some proven health benefits. Veneers protect your teeth from additional damage, saving you the expense of more invasive treatments in the future.

Dental Bridge

Dental Bridge


Dental Bridge A bridge can take the place of teeth you’ve lost through a sports injury, car accident or fall. When comparing a dental bridge vs. implant, there are pros and cons to each treatment. If you ask Dr. John Koutsoyiannis at Sohosmile how long a dental bridge lasts, you may be surprised to learn how durable they are with proper treatment. Get the facts before you make a decision. Contact Sohosmile for an evaluation and expert advice. A dental bridge is a common solution for tooth loss. When you lose a tooth for any reason — from an injury or from advanced periodontal disease that requires the tooth be extracted — you’re left with an empty space in your mouth. If you do nothing, you run the risk of a skewed bite, as the neighboring teeth may migrate into the empty spot. By fitting you with a bridge, Dr. John introduces an artificial tooth into your mouth to fill the space. The new tooth keeps the rest of your teeth aligned and your bite sound. You can get a bridge to replace one tooth or a span of consecutive teeth. And you don’t need surgery to fit a bridge between your teeth. How a Bridge Works A dental bridge is one or more artificial teeth anchored in place between adjacent real teeth or implants. These teeth, real or implanted, are called the abutment teeth. They act as anchors to secure the bridge. Your dental bridge effectively spans the gap of your missing teeth, from one abutment tooth to the next. The artificial teeth between the abutment teeth are called pontics. Pontics may be made from porcelain, gold, metal alloys or a combination of materials. Which material your dentist chooses depends on the location of the bridge in your mouth. Near the front of your mouth, the ideal material is porcelain or a similar material that resembles the color and shape of your natural teeth. Bridging the Gap Your cosmetic dentist in SoHo uses a numbing anesthetic where your bridge will be. The next step, if your abutment teeth are real, is to re-contour them so they can be fitted with crowns. The crowns anchor the bridge to your mouth. When dental implants secure your bridge, the contouring isn’t necessary because the bridge is fit to the metal posts of your implant. To re-contour a real abutment tooth, your dentist removes some enamel, slightly filing down your natural tooth so that a crown fits directly onto it. Since this process takes several dental appointments, you’re provided a temporary bridge while your permanent bridge is custom made. Once your permanent bridge is complete, the temporary one is removed before the new one cemented into place. Your Dental Bridge Cost First, you must have good oral health. You can’t get a bridge until Dr. John has completed any other necessary measures on the abutment teeth — such as cavity treatment or a root canal procedure. Several factors, including how many teeth are involved, determines the final cost of your dental bridge. There are also a couple of different styles of bridges. The type of bridge your dental expert decides to use has a lot to do with the location of your missing teeth and how well the added pressure from your bite can be distributed.

Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns


Same Day Crowns in New York City Teeth crowns serve many purposes. They protect teeth that have been damaged by accident or decay. They finalize a dental implant restoration, creating a strong, natural-looking tooth. They make your smile whole again. With today’s technology, you can get crowns on the same day, so you walk out of your dentist’s office with your smile and your teeth restored. Get your dental crown from the professionals at Sohosmile, a cosmetic dental practice that cares about your oral health. Investing in quality dental work is a decision that can benefit you for decades, especially when you need a dental crown. Aside from its ability to improve your oral health by protecting a vulnerable tooth, a tooth crown restores your smile and promotes a more positive self-image. Dental crowns are used to cap or cover natural teeth or a dental implant. Dr. John Koutsoyiannis at Sohosmile provides dental crowns to restore your tooth’s functionality and revitalize the appearance of your smile. He achieves these results by returning your tooth to its right size, shape and color so that it blends in with your natural teeth. The Beauty of Crowns Today’s dental crowns provide the one-of-a-kind craftsmanship of a custom-fit dental appliance. Each crown is made to your unique specifications, fitting over your tooth or implant like a glove. A crown both strengthens your tooth and adds aesthetic appeal to your smile. Dr. John also may recommend a crown as a means of anchoring a bridge or to save the tooth if there isn’t enough of the tooth left to support a filling. You have a couple of available options when it comes to dental crowns. Your dental team in nearby SoHo helps you make a decision on a type of material that best fits your need and your budget — because which crown type you choose has a direct impact on your dental crown cost. The different types of crowns include: eMax, made from a type of ceramic that is very strong and resistant to chipping; it’s one of our favorite materials for back teeth (posterior) crowns All-porcelain, for the closest thing to your real teeth, mostly used on your front (anterior) teeth, since they’re in a low-stress position and are the most aesthetically pleasing Zirconia, made of a strong crown material, used occasionally when the need exists BruxZir, the brand name of crowns made of zirconia Porcelain-fused-to-metal, a strong option that’s not as aesthetically pleasing as all-porcelain or eMax crowns, and the porcelain on these crowns chips easier than eMax crowns Gold, while strong and durable, isn’t requested much anymore; it can be used if requested Composite resin and acrylic, made of plastic-like materials that are sometimes used as temporary crowns; they’re not a long-term option Crowns are expensive, depending on the type you choose. The good news is that a majority of dental insurance providers cover at least some of the dental crown cost. Additionally, crowns tend to last for a long time if properly cared for.

Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding


Dental Bonding Sohosmile cosmetic dentistry offers teeth bonding as an effective, safe and affordable treatment for repairing chipped or broken teeth. You’ll notice a difference in your smile right away. Cosmetic dental bonding also hides stained teeth and fills in when your teeth are too far apart. Bonding uses a composite resin similar to the composite filling material to repair a cavity, so dental bonding is virtually invisible once it’s been expertly placed in your mouth. When a SoHo cosmetic dentist like Dr. John Koutsoyiannis of Sohosmile uses dental bonding, the goal is to restore and repair your damaged teeth or to improve the appearance of your smile. During the procedure, Dr. John applies tooth-colored material made out of plastic-like composite resin over the teeth where it’s needed. Also called teeth bonding, this procedure is usually done in a single visit by a skilled cosmetic dentist. Cosmetic dental bonding is a way to improve the appearance of chipped or broken teeth. It’s a relatively inexpensive method of doing minor dental repairs. It can also be used to close the space between teeth or as a tooth-colored filling for small cavities. Reasons for Teeth Bonding You may have several different reasons for wanting to get teeth bonding, and they’re all valid. Talk to Dr. John about your wishes and goals. The high-density composite resin can be shaped and polished as needed to match your surrounding teeth, making it virtually invisible and unnoticeable. This makes dental bonding a good option for: Repairing chipped or cracked teeth Changing the shape of certain teeth Closing the spaces between teeth Improving the look of discolored teeth Supporting and repairing decayed teeth Making teeth look longer Cosmetic dental bonding is, as the name implies, a cosmetic procedure. But sometimes bonding is required for health-related reasons. More info: https://www.sohosmile.com/cosmetic-dentistry/dental-bonding-lower-manhattan-downtown-nyc/ Payment: cash, check, credit cards.

Invisalign

Invisalign


Invisalign® is an effective teeth straightening procedure that uses clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® uses custom-made aligner trays that are completely see-through. This allows for a natural-looking smile when wearing Invisalign®. Invisalign® aligners are removable but must be worn for at least 20-22 hours a day in order to achieve the desired results.

Invisalign® is able to straighten the teeth as effectively as traditional braces without the uncomfortable and bulky aspects of metal braces. Many patients choose to use Invisalign® because the aligners are discreet and hardly noticeable. This can improve confidence when speaking and smiling all while helping to properly align the smile. Additionally, Invisalign® aligners are easily removed for eating and daily cleaning.

TMJ Treatment

TMJ Treatment


A TMJ treatment is designed to improve the symptoms of a TMJ disorder. The TMJ are your temporomandibular joints, which connect the jaw to the skull. These joints are on both sides of the face and are located just in front of the ears. TMJ syndrome can cause pain and impaired movement of the TMJ, which can result in jaw tenderness, earaches, difficulty chewing, talking, or smiling, facial pain, and even lockjaw.

Moderate or severe cases of a TMJ disorder can negatively affect daily life and make eating, smiling, or talking incredibly painful and difficult. A TMJ disorder can be caused by a disc displacement or muscle dysfunction. Symptoms of a TMJ disc displacement include a clicking sound, limited mobility when opening the jaw, pain when opening the jaw, and a grating sensation in the jaw. On the other hand, TMJ muscle dysfunction can cause muscle spasms, weakened jaw muscles, and painful jaw movements.

RECEDING GUMS TREATMENT

RECEDING GUMS TREATMENT


Gum recession causes the tissues of the gums to pull away from the teeth. Receding gums are a common condition seen in periodontics. Receding gums can be caused from a gum injury, aggressive brushing, ill-fitting dentures, tobacco use, teeth grinding, or a family history of gum recession. Receding gums can cause the roots of the teeth to become exposed, which can lead to root sensitivity, bone loss, and possible loss of the tooth. NYC periodontists can provide effective gum recession treatments to improve receding gums and to protect a tooth from decay and damage. Treatment of receding gums can also alleviate any pain or inflammation caused by gum recession. To learn more about receding gum treatments, click the button below.

Gum Contouring

Gum Contouring


Gum contouring, which is also known as gum reshaping, is a periodontal treatment that recontours the gum tissue around certain teeth. Periodontists can perform gum contouring surgery on several teeth or all of the teeth of the smile, depending on your specific needs. Gum reshaping is a versatile procedure that can be used to remove unhealthy gum tissue or as a cosmetic procedure. Gum contouring is often performed to treat a gummy smile, asymmetrical gums, cleft gums, and enlarged gums. Click the button below to learn more about gum contouring.

Crown Lengthening

Crown Lengthening


Crown lengthening is a gum treatment that is performed when too little of the tooth is exposed. Crown lengthening removes excess gum tissue, exposing more of your tooth. Crown lengthening is sometimes performed to correct a gummy smile, which is when excess gum tissue conceals too much of the teeth and makes them appear too small or short. Additionally, the periodontists perform crown lengthening to treat a cavity concealed beneath the gum line or to expose more of a tooth that is broken or damaged in order to effectively place a dental crown. To learn more about crown lengthening, please click the below button.

Gum Grafting

Gum Grafting


Periodontists perform a gum graft by using healthy gum tissue from a donor location or using a dehydrated tissue such as Alloderm and placing it in areas that may be experiencing receding gums. Gum grafting can promote the healthy generation of gum tissue to treat gum recession. By treating gum recession with a gum graft, the roots of the teeth are protected from harmful bacteria, as well as temperature extremes and other irritants. Gum grafting is a versatile treatment. Periodontists can perform gum grafting using allografting techniques, connective tissue grafts, pedicle grafts, and free gingival grafts. Click the button below to learn more about gum grafting surgery.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum Disease Treatment


Periodontal disease, which is commonly referred to as gum disease, is an infection of the gums that can cause damage to the teeth and jawbone. Gum disease treatment is designed to treat periodontal disease and restore the health of the gums, teeth, and jawbone. A gum disease treatment can improve the symptoms of gingivitis, periodontitis, and severe periodontal disease. Periodontists in NYC offer gum disease treatments to restore healthy gums.

Tooth extraction

Tooth extraction


Tooth extraction involves removing the entire tooth. Oral surgeons always attempt to save a tooth if possible. However, in some instances, tooth extraction is the best option when decay, disease, or damage to the tooth are irreversible, leading to an non-restorable tooth. Tooth removal is often suggested to prevent decay or an infection from spreading. Tooth extraction surgery can also be performed to correct overcrowding, remove a broken or damaged tooth, or to prepare your mouth for future dental implants. In the majority of cases, tooth extraction is often combined with dental implant surgery or a tooth replacement procedure. Click the button below to learn more about tooth extraction.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal


Wisdom teeth removal may be necessary to extract wisdom teeth that are partially impacted, fully impacted, or that are causing discomfort. Wisdom teeth extraction can alleviate painful symptoms related to wisdom teeth that are emerging from the gumline improperly. In the majority of cases, there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to adequately emerge from the gumline. Wisdom teeth can cause toothaches, damage to neighboring teeth, jaw pain, cysts, and even nerve damage if left untreated. Sohosmile® offers wisdom teeth removal to alleviate these painful symptoms. To learn more about wisdom teeth removal, click the button below.

Bone Graft

Bone Graft


Dental bone grafting can correct low jawbone density with the use of bone grafting material. A dental bone graft can stimulate the growth of new bone in the jaw. A dental bone graft may be recommended for patients who are not eligible for dental implants due to improper jawbone density. Dental bone grafting improves overall jawbone density and can ensure a stable foundation for future dental implants. Additionally, a dental bone graft can maintain the structure of the face and jaw by replacing the missing bone. Click the button below to learn more about a dental bone graft.

ROOT CANAL SURGERY

ROOT CANAL SURGERY


Root canal surgery can treat an infection within a tooth by thoroughly cleaning out the tooth. A root canal can stop the infection from spreading or worsening. If performed early, a root canal can also save a tooth from having to be pulled. A root canal treatment allows for patients to talk, smile, and eat without pain. Endodontists are experts in the field of root canal surgery and can provide prompt relief from a painful infected tooth. Click the button below to learn more about root canal surgery.

TEETH CLEANINGS

TEETH CLEANINGS


Professional dental cleanings can remove harmful plaque and built-up tartar from the teeth. Teeth cleanings can maintain a bright, white smile by removing discolorations due to plaque build-up in addition to providing a healthy smile. Routine teeth cleanings can help prevent the development of serious oral conditions, including cavities, gingivitis, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Teeth cleanings and dental evaluations are a useful preventive tool that can lower your risk for several oral diseases and complications.

During a tooth cleaning treatment, plaque and tartar are removed from the teeth and below the gumline. Once tartar has formed, it is impossible to remove with just brushing alone. A professional teeth cleaning uses specialized tools to safely and effectively remove tartar build-up. In more severe cases or for patients with a pre-existing gum disease or oral condition, a deep teeth cleaning may be recommended. To learn more about professional teeth cleaning, click the button below.

CAVITY FILLINGS

CAVITY FILLINGS


Cavity fillings use tooth-colored material to fill a cavity and restore the structural integrity and overall health of the tooth. A cavity typically forms due to bacteria within the mouth, excess sugar consumption, and poor oral hygiene. A cavity is a permanently damaged area of the tooth that has developed a small hole within the structure. If left untreated, cavities can cause tooth pain, infections, and even tooth loss.

Treatment of a cavity removes any decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. A dental filling material is used to replace the space within the tooth caused by the cavity. Dental fillings are designed to seamlessly match your smile and can restore the integrity of the tooth. After the dental filling material has been placed, Dr. Koutsoyiannis will clean, shape, and polish the material for the most natural-looking results possible. Click the button below to learn more about cavities and dental fillings.

DENTURES

DENTURES


Dentures are a common treatment to replace some or all of the missing teeth of the upper or lower jaw. Dentures can restore a full smile as well as allowing patients to talk and eat with ease. Another benefit of dentures is that they help to maintain a properly aligned bite. Each set of dentures is fully customized to fit each patient’s mouth perfectly. Durable and long-lasting, dentures provide natural-looking results for patients looking to restore their smile. Learn more about dentures by clicking the button below.
