Midtown Dental Care offers the latest procedures, including:

  • Invisalign - Welcome to an exciting way to get the smile you always wanted with less discomfort and more self-assurance than traditional orthodontic treatments.  Straighter teeth will offer you better health, greater self-confidence, and more respect from others.  
  •  Oral Conscious Sedation or "Relaxation Dentistry"-  For those individuals with dental fears and phobias or for those with simply a lack of time.  We will design a treatment plan in which all treatment can be completed in as few as two visits.        
  • Preventive care – Regular oral hygiene visits are vital for keeping your teeth and gums clean, healthy, and for preventing potentially serious dental and systemic problems.

  • Crowns – A tooth colored porcelain covering for a tooth that can no longer hold a filling,or that suffers from “Cracked Tooth Syndrome”. A crown can also be used to reshape a tooth, or to complete a tooth restoratively if it has had root canal therapy.

  • Bridges – Permanent replacements for missing teeth .

  • Removable Partial and Complete Dentures

  • Precision Attachment Partials(snap in place partials)

  • Dental Implants – Small titanium fixtures surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as the “root” replacement for the tooth. A crown is placed on top of the fixture. You can use implants to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or to hold dentures or partials in place.  
  • Nonsurgical Gum Care –Use of ultrasonic and hand instrumentation to remove bacterial plaque and tartar from below the gum of a patient with periodontal disease.

  • Root Canal Therapy – A process of removing diseased nerve from the canal of a tooth. The canals are then sealed with a special material to prevent bacteria from reaching the bone.

  • Tooth Whitening – A bleaching process that lightens the discoloration of enamel and dentin. The system uses a mild solution retained in a custom fitted tray that is worn over the teeth. We also offer “Zoom” in-office bleaching.  This is available for those individuals who would like same day results.

  • Full Mouth Reconstruction – Changing the function and the look of all the teeth by combining the use of crowns, veneers, whitening, bridges, and/or implants.

  • Bonding –The use of tooth colored material to alter the shape, size, or color of teeth.

  • Veneers – A thin custom made porcelain covering that conceals the front and sides of a tooth, much like a mask, or an artificial fingernail to change the appearance.

  • Tooth Colored Fillings – Used to replace silver fillings or to fill new cavities.

  • Recontouring – A simple procedure without anesthetic to reshape front teeth for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. This can be done alone or in combination with bonding procedures.
     
  • TMJ – (Temporo-MandibularJoint) Treatment of the dysfunction of the jawjoint.

  • Extractions - Removal of decayed, fractured, or infected teeth which are not
    salvageable.
