Brushing
Proper brushing is essential for cleaning teeth and gums effectively. Use a toothbrush with soft, nylon, round-ended bristles that will not scratch and irritate teeth or damage gums.
Remember to replace your toothbrush every three to four months. Researchers have established that thousands of microbes grow on toothbrush bristles and handles. Most are harmless, but others can cause cold and flu viruses, the herpes virus that causes cold sores, and bacteria that can cause periodontal infections.
Crowns
Crowns are caps that restore your tooth function and appearance. When you have a root canal procedure, a cracked tooth, a loose filling, or other types of damage, a crown is usually the ideal restoration. At the office of Allan D.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most efficient way to replace missing teeth today. There are two components of dental implants: a titanium post that goes in your jaw and a custom crown that screws into the post.
Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening is the fastest way to get the smile you want. Before getting started, Dr. Schulman uses a cheek and lip retractor to expose your teeth and places small goggles over your eyes.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dentistry includes urgent care for all types of sudden damage to your teeth, gums, and other tissues in your mouth. When you experience sudden mouth damage, you need care immediately.
Pediatric Dentistry
Arrange your child’s first visit to the dentist when they get their first tooth, or when they’re 12 months old, whichever comes first. You can stay with your child during the exam — they can even sit on your lap.
Veneers
A veneer is a thin porcelain or resin composite sheet that's custom-sized to fit the front of your tooth. Veneers match the color of the teeth around them so they look natural. Dr. Schulman bonds the veneers to your teeth, so they’re very sturdy. Typically, veneers last about 10-15 years.
Fillings
Amalgam fillings are an alloy containing elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper, and other metals. Although mercury can be harmful alone, the other ingredients stabilize the mercury and make it safe and effective for fillings.
Dentures
Dentures replace lost teeth. They're made using acrylic resin or a combination of acrylic resin and various metals for strength.
All-On-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 is a hybrid of dental implants and dentures. It’s ideal for replacing an entire arch (top or bottom), or for full-mouth tooth replacement.
