Benefits of Traditional Braces

Here at his New Hyde Park, NY, practice, Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS offers a variety of orthodontic options to help straighten your smile and this includes traditional braces. Typically when we hear the word, “braces” we think of “metal mouth,” however, traditional braces offer many benefits.

Traditional braces are the least expensive type on the market, and the colored bands allow patients to express themselves, as an added bonus. Obviously, the drawback to wearing these is how visible they are, but dental braces can correct even the most complicated issues in aligning the teeth. Mainly composed either of colored metal or resin brackets, braces are attached onto the face of the teeth. Braces also come with a wire that runs through them and sets them in place. Because traditional braces are not removable, they offer a faster treatment plan than its competitors. In addition, if a patient’s bite is abnormal, the application of braces can bring out his or her best smile.

If braces are indeed the solution for you, Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS will prescribe an appliance specific for your needs. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS at his New Hyde Park, NY location, give us a call at 516-233-2135 or visit our website, www.goinggrin.com for more information. 

Gum Grafting

Gum grafting is performed when the gums have receded and are exposing the tooth’s root. Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that is required in order to keep healthy teeth and gums. Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS of New Hyde Park, NY is performing gum grafts to relieve his patients of the effects of receded gums.

There are a few different things that can cause gums to recede. Periodontal disease, genes, personal oral habits, and hormones are a few of the factors that can cause the gums to recede. In any case, receded gums need to be fixed. The exposed tooth roots not only look bad, but they are sensitive to hot and cold, and can eventually lead to tooth loss.

Gum grafts work by taking tissue from the roof or palate of the mouth and attaching it to the gum line. It is sewed into place where the gums are needed. The gums will heal and grow so they resemble the original gums in their ideal positon.

Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS has been repairing his patients’ gums that have receded at his New Hyde Park, NY dental office. If you suspect you have receded gums, schedule an appointment today. To schedule, call us at (516) 233-2135 or visit our website, www.goinggrin.com.

Root Canal Therapy

When you hear the term “root canal,” you probably associate this infamous procedure with a sense of dread.  However, this association is actually based in a number of common misconceptions.  Modern technology has made root canal procedures virtually painless!

New advancements and technologies have improved the efficiency and comfort of a procedure so that patients no longer have to be afraid of the process.  Digital x-rays, precision instruments and effective dental anesthetic have made it possible to accurately target infections.  Since the entire process is less invasive, patients have a reduced healing time and can return to their normal activities without pain.  Any discomfort that is felt during the healing period can be easily relieved with over-the-counter painkillers.
