- Dental ExaminationIntegrity, empathy, and patient-centric care are just a few of the key values we hold at Westchester Dental Group. Dr. Teich and Dr. Langstein bring a high level of expertise to every dental service they provide, whether it’s a basic preventive treatment like an exam and cleaning or a complex full mouth reconstruction that rebuilds the smile from top-to-bottom. Most importantly, they put patients first and work hard to earn their trust from their very first visit and keep it for many years to come.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningWhen we say that Westchester Dental Group is comprehensive, what we mean is we aren’t only looking for cavities and gum disease. Dentists are in a unique position to catch the early signs of oral cancer, which is crucial to improving your treatment outcome should it develop. We utilize a VELscope to perform exams, a handheld device that makes confirming the presence of lesions inside the mouth substantially easier.
- Teeth CleaningDuring a routine checkup, one of our dentists will greet you and ask how your oral health has been. From there, you’ll receive a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures searching for potential dental concerns. Then, you’ll be introduced to one of our hygienists who will perform a comprehensive dental cleaning. Professional cleanings remove hardened plaque from the areas of the mouth often missed during at-home care as well as tartar, which can only be safely removed in a dental office.
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride can be found naturally in the foods we eat and public drinking water, but it’s also used as an essential cavity-fighting ingredient in a wide variety of oral care products. We perform fluoride treatments to give the enamel additional protection against tooth decay, especially for young children who are still perfecting their brushing and flossing. Of course, patients can benefit from this treatment well into adulthood, too.
- Dental SealantsAs your child becomes used to practicing oral care at home, it’s always a good idea to give them a little extra protection when possible. That’s why we often recommend dental sealants to very young patients. Sealants are essentially thin layers of composite resin applied to the teeth most vulnerable to cavities, the molars and premolars, and they help keep food particles and oral bacteria off of enamel. Not only are they affordable and painless to apply, but they can last up to 10 years after application.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeCavities can develop even with the best at-home brushing and flossing habits. If we discover a cavity, we’ll use tooth-colored composite resin to create a filling that fits comfortably inside of your tooth, protecting it from future damage. One of the benefits of choosing a tooth-colored vs. a silver filling (outside of the appearance) is that it does not require removal of existing enamel just to place. Furthermore, you won’t have to worry about temperature-induced sensitivity that often occurs with metal fillings.
- VeneersVeneers are able to completely transform your smile with a single treatment. Each veneer is color-matched to blend in with your existing teeth, ensuring they look incredibly natural after bonding. The shape and size of your veneers will also be personalized with your smile and overall appearance in mind, ensuring only you and our office know you had cosmetic dental treatment completed.
- CrownsTo protect the existing structure of your tooth while maintaining your smile’s esthetics, our office utilizes metal-free materials to design and create dental restorations. This includes porcelain, which is carefully customized to blend in with your natural teeth so you can feel confident smiling around your friends, family, and coworkers. Additionally, you can expect your future restorations to be incredibly durable giving you peace of mind that your crowns will withstand the test of time.
- BridgesConsidered to be one of the more traditional avenues for replacing one or more teeth, dental bridges consist of a series of crowns that are fused together to create one larger, more complex restoration. The crowns in the center of the bridge fill the gap left in your smile, while the crowns on either end will rest on top of the teeth remaining in your mouth. This means a small amount of enamel is removed so the bridge can remain secure through basic tasks like chewing.
- Dental BondingWhen chips and cracks find their way inside your teeth, sometimes dedicated restorations are not necessary. If that’s the case, cosmetic bonding offers an affordable and effective solution to address these common imperfections. Similar to tooth-colored fillings, cosmetic bonding uses composite resin that’s color-matched to blend in with your existing teeth. After applying the resin and carefully shaping it, we’ll harden it instantly using a dedicated curing light. In most cases, this treatment can be performed in a single appointment.
- Restorative Dentistry
- Root Canal TreatmentGet you the dental care you need: Common services performed to treat dental emergencies include dental fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, and extractions. However, other options may be considered if deemed appropriate.
- Deep CleaningAlong with cleaning and sanitizing during the day, we take things to another level at night with a thorough top-to-bottom scrub down.
- DenturesWhile it may be surprising to hear, nearly 180 million Americans are missing at least one tooth right now. Tens of millions have no teeth at all, meaning they rely on dentures to smile and eat their favorite foods. Regardless of what level of tooth loss you’re dealing with, Westchester Dental Group is prepared to walk you through the tooth replacement process and help you determine the best restorative solution based on your needs.
- Dental ImplantsMissing teeth can have a major impact on your day-to-day life. Not only can chewing and speaking become far more difficult, but your risk for future tooth loss only increases the longer you go without having them replaced. Dental implants offer a solution that has quickly become the gold standard for replacing teeth thanks to their longevity, esthetics, and incredible functionality. To learn if dental implants are right for you, please give us a call to schedule a one-on-one consultation with our dentists!
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsWhen compared to traditional orthodontics like braces, Invisalign holds many benefits, especially for working professionals. For example, Invisalign aligners are fully removable, meaning you can enjoy the foods you want and practice the same brushing and flossing you’re used to. They are fully transparent, so people won’t ever notice your treatment. And, there’s no need to worry about uncomfortable metal brackets and wires or the emergencies that can come with them if these components become damaged.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign consists of a series of clear, medical-grade, plastic aligners that gently shift the teeth into straighter positions. Each pair of aligners represents a different stage of your realignment. In order for teeth to shift, you’ll need to wear your aligners for about 22 hours a day over about two weeks per pair. You’ll also visit our office every six weeks or so for a routine evaluation of your progress. Once you’ve worn every pair in your series, you’ll be given a retainer to ensure your teeth do not relapse (or shift back to their original positions).
- BracesWhether you’ve always wanted to straighten your teeth before but didn’t want metal braces or you need to address relapses from a previous treatment, Invisalign offers a clear alternative that doesn’t force you to dramatically change your habits or appearance. Using digital impression technology, our office can design a series of clear, customized trays that fix misalignment issues, gaps in between teeth, and uneven bites. Get in touch with our team at Westchester Dental Group today to learn if Invisalign can meet your needs.
- Teeth WhiteningYour smile can become duller as a natural result of aging or simply because of consuming many richly pigmented foods and beverages. Whether you take advantage of powerful in-office bleaching that takes only an hour to complete or our at-home solution that lets you whiten on your own schedule, Westchester Dental Group is happy to provide you with options based on your preferences. Both make use of professional-grade ingredients you won’t find outside of a dental office.
