Smile Makeover

Gum Recontour

Recontouring the "gums" around the front teeth is an inexpensive procedure accomplished in a single visit with laser or electro-surgery techniques. The result dramatically improve your smile for a lifetime.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers are thin sheets of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of teeth. With minimal tooth preperation, they are an ideal choice for improving your smile and changing the size, color, and shape of your teeth. They have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.

Bonding

Many damaged or disfigured teeth can now be restored in a single office visit. Tremendous improvements in "tooth-colored" restorations are now available. With new technology and less invasive tooth preparation, techniques have led to longer lasting and more esthetically pleasing restorations. The latest generation of these new materials are not only more cost effective, but also they can be contoured and shade-matched to defy detection.

Whitening & Brightening

Whitening of the teeth, can enhance your smile with approximately a 1 hour in office procedure. In order to maintain your beautiful smile, custom whitening trays are available. After brightening your teeth, take advantage of our Eternal White Program. Call now for details.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns are designed to replace broken or badly worn individual teeth. When a small number of permanent teeth are lost, a replacement or "bridge" can be manufactured to restore your normal eating abilities and preserve your jaw alignment. Bridges can be either removable or fixed. A removable bridge , or partial denture, is designed to replace multiple teeth in the arch. The result is an enduring, beautifully restored smile.
Rounded Edge

Implants

Implant Dentistry has now come of age. Many people are presently missing one or more teeth in their mouths. These missing teeth may be permantly replaced with dental implants. Even full dentures can be augmented or totally replaced by denture implants. Our office works with all area oral surgeons and a specialized laboratory for fabrication of life like comfortable implant tooth replacements.

Facts

How can I fix Gum Disease?Early detection is key. The American Dental Association says that over 75-80% of all adults have or will have some form of gum disease. Gum disease, or more correctly called "periodontal disease", is a bacterial infection in the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It can be divided into several categories.The first stage is called "gingivitis" and is characterized by gum tissue that is red, puffy, and bleeds easily when touched with a toothbrush, floss or dental instrument. The second, third, and fourth stages are initial, moderate, and advanced "periodontal disease", respectively. These stages are different from gingivitis because the infection has destroyed the bone supporting the teeth, causing eventual tooth loss.
Can I prevent Bad Breath?Lots of patients share concern about bad breath . As a social embarrassment, it's surely near the top of the list. Since mouthwashes won't eliminate the problem, let's look at some possible reasons for the condition.Certain foods, such as onions, garlic, and spices will cause temporary bad breath. Some medical and systemic problems, such as sinusitis, can also contribute.But most causes are local in nature. Bacteria, plain and simple, are the culprit. Bacteria do their work in the mouth, lungs, sinuses, and stomach. In the oral cavity, bacteria cause gum disease.This infection is so prevalent today; it's the first dental problem we suspect when it comes to halitosis. With a thorough hygiene program, there is a chance to control gum problems and this particularly awkward side effect.Less-than-pristine dentures or bridgework are also a source of odor. Decay can be another culprit along with "dry mouth" syndrome (a lot of older people are prone to reduced saliva flow). For more information regarding bad breath, please call our office.
Does Diet affect my Dental Health?A diet low in certain nutrients reduces resistance to oral and dental infections, that is, periodontal disease (gum disease) and decay. A healthy immune system is essential to controlling periodontal disease.Counseling in the Four Basic Food groups will improve dental health and general health. The consumption of sugar, especially in sticky forms or in a baby bottle while sleeping, contributes to the rapid development of dental decay.The trace nutrient fluoride may not be adequately supplied by bottle or municipal water supplies. Supplementation with oral tablets and topical application will reduce the incidence of dental decay by more than 60%.Together, a balanced diet, daily use of fluoride, effective brushing, and sensible eating habits can reduce the risk of, or even prevent, infectious dental disease.Please don't hesitate to call our office if you need more information on diet or fluoride supplementation and its relationship to dental health.

Urban Legends

I'm unsure of Patient Protection.A recent survey of dental patients showed that patient protection was #1 on their list of concerns about dental care. Some patients have even quit going to the dentist because of their fears.Fortunately, trips to the dentist have never been safer. We sterilize all of our instruments for your safety and well being.
I only need to visit the Dentist when I'm in pain.Many people don't see a dentist on a regular basis. They go only when they feel they have a problem. We call this "crisis treatment" as opposed to "preventive treatment". While these patients may feel they are saving money, it usually ends up costing much more in both dollars and time. The reason for this is that most dental problems don't have any symptoms until they reach the advanced stages.An example is tooth decay. We hear all the time, "I don't have any problems." Tooth decay doesn't hurt! Until, that is, it gets close to the nerve of the tooth. Then a root canal and crown are usually necessary, instead of the small filling, which could have been placed several years ago when the cavity was small. We can usually detect a cavity 3-4 years before it may develop any symptoms. It is not uncommon to see a patient with a tremendous cavity and they have never felt a thing!
Dentures means I don't need to visit the dentist.Many denture wearers breathe a sigh of relief when they get their first pair of dentures, because they think their dental problems are over. What they soon realize, however, is that they have just traded some old problems for new ones.Even the best dry mouth can't compete with natural teeth in ability to chew food efficiently and comfortably. As the years go by, the supporting ridges that remain after teeth have been removed gradually change and get smaller.For most patients, the dentures need to be "relined" or "refitted" every 2-4 years so that the denture will conform to the changing ridge. A large change in weight can also alter the shape of the mouth, causing changes in the fit.

It Can Be Fixed Businessman

Can you fix Stained, Broken, Worn, Crooked or Malformed Teeth?At Life Way Dental with Dr. Neil Brodsky, we can help solve your problem with bonding. This is typically painless and can yield dramatic results in a single office visit. Essentially, bonding hides any natural flaws through the placement of a thin plastic coating on the front surface of the teeth. Bonding can lighten stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed teeth. It can be utilized to change the shape or color of a single tooth or if necessary to revamp the entire smile.
Can I get rid of unsightly black or silver fillings?Many people have had silver fillings placed into their teeth because they had "cavities". However over times, the metal fillings corrodes and leaks which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily seen as soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a source of embarrassment for the patient.Here at Lifeway Dental with Dr. Neil Brodsky, we use composite fillings which are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are strong and stain-resistant, and they are color-matched to the natural tooth, making them "invisible". Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated with silver (amalgam) fillings. They are especially suited for smaller cavities and for patients who may be allergic to metal fillings.

Problems Sleeping Coffee

Do you experience: Sleep Apnea or Snoring?

Do you wake yourself or someone else with your snoring? Studies show that about 40% of men and nearly 30% of women snore. Connections have been made between snoring and potentially fatal obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA and snoring have also been linked to other diseases, such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease. One of the causes of OSA and snoring is your tongue. When you sleep, your tongue can reposition itself blocking your airway.Call now for YOUR evaluation!

TMD

Diagnosis & Treatment of TMD

(Temporomandibular Disfunction)

Head Problems:-Headaches -sinus/migraine -forehead/temples -pressure in sinuses -face aches -pain behind eyesNeck Problems: -neck pain/stiffness -tired or sore muscles -muscle spasms -lack of mobility -shoulder and backache
Teeth Problems:-clenching or grinding teeth -inconsistent tooth pain (relocates) -pain when swallowing, speaking or chewingProblems Jaw: -popping, clicking and grating noises -tenderness or pain in the jaw joint -difficulty opening or closing mouth -jaw "locks" or "sticks" -difficulty yawning, chewing and opening wide
Solution:What do you do if you see yourself with these symptoms? A self-evaluation is a good place to start. How many of these symptoms do I have? Do these symptoms get in the way of my enjoyment of life? Are my symptoms becoming more frequent or more intense? Our office has a variety of effective treatments depending on your own individual need. Early treatment is very important. TMD advances in stages and only progresses over time.

Seniors

Are you experiencing a dry mouth?

More seniors today have retained their own teeth, avoiding the trauma of removable dentures. Many are on medications creating dryness of the mouth as a side effect. Without the natural benefit of saliva to decrease bacterial action, we see an increase of cavities on the root surfaces of these patients.Anyone on a medication causing a dry mouth should be encouraged to see their dentist for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride rinses. So book your appointment today at Life Way Dental with Dr. Neil Brodsky.
