Comprehensive General Dentistry at PresiDental Care

At PresiDental Care, we believe that a healthy smile is a cornerstone of overall wellness. Our team of dedicated professionals in Manhattan NY is committed to providing comprehensive general dentistry services to help you maintain optimal oral health. From routine exams and cleanings to more complex procedures, we are here to support your dental health journey.

Routine Exams and Cleanings: The Foundation of Oral Health

Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. At PresiDental Care, our experienced dentist and hygienists use state-of-the-art technology to thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, identify any potential issues, and provide a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.

These routine visits not only help keep your teeth and gums healthy, but they also allow us to detect any potential issues early when they are easier and less costly to treat.

Tooth Fillings: Restoring Health and Function

When a tooth is damaged by decay, a filling can restore its health, function, and appearance. At PresiDental Care, we use tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a result that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Our dentist will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the area, and then fill it with the tooth-colored material. This procedure not only restores the tooth but also helps prevent further decay.

Dental Crowns and Bridges: Solutions for Damaged and Missing Teeth

If you have a tooth that is severely damaged or missing, a dental crown or bridge can provide a durable, long-lasting solution. Dental crowns are custom-made to fit over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength.

Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. At PresiDental Care, we use high-quality materials to create crowns and bridges that look natural and enhance your smile.

Tooth Extractions: When Saving a Tooth Isn't an Option

While our primary goal is to save your natural teeth whenever possible, there are situations where a tooth extraction may be the best option for your overall oral health.

Whether it's due to severe decay, infection, or trauma, our dentist will perform the extraction with the utmost care and precision, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.

Oral Cancer Screenings: Early Detection Saves Lives

Oral cancer is a serious disease that can often be successfully treated when detected early. That's why we include oral cancer screenings as part of our routine dental exams. Using advanced technology, we can detect any abnormalities in the oral tissues that may indicate the presence of cancer or pre-cancerous conditions.

Choosing a dentist is an important decision. At PresiDental Care, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of dental care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Our experienced dentist and staff are dedicated to meeting your individual needs and ensuring that you have a positive experience at every visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is general dentistry?

General dentistry encompasses a wide range of dental procedures designed to maintain the health and functionality of your teeth and gums. This includes routine exams and cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, extractions, and oral cancer screenings.

How often should I visit the dentist?

For most people, we recommend a dental check-up every six months. However, depending on your individual oral health needs, you may need to visit more frequently. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your oral health and catch any potential issues early.

What should I do if I have a toothache?

If you have a toothache, it's important to schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. Toothaches can be a sign of various dental issues, including cavities, an abscess, or a cracked tooth. Our dentist will examine your mouth, diagnose the problem, and provide the appropriate treatment.

What are dental crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are types of dental restorations. A crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function. A bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns that hold a false tooth in place.

What is involved in a dental cleaning?

A dental cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar from your teeth, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. Our dental hygienist will also polish your teeth and may apply a fluoride treatment to help protect your teeth against decay.

How can I prevent oral cancer?

Regular oral cancer screenings are crucial for early detection and successful treatment of oral cancer. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including not smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, eating a balanced diet, and protecting yourself from the sun, can help reduce your risk.

Why is it important to fill cavities?

Filling cavities is important to prevent further decay and damage to the tooth. If left untreated, a cavity can lead to more serious problems, such as a tooth abscess or even tooth loss.

How can I maintain good oral health?

Maintaining good oral health involves regular dental check-ups, brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco products. Regular visits to your dentist can also help catch any potential issues early and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
