With restorative solutions we can take away the pain and give you a smile worth smiling for! You can read about some of the common obstacles and solutions we provide as your Brooklyn family dentist.
If the TMJ joints stop working, this can result in ear pain that doesn't go away easily, problems opening or shutting your mouth, soreness in your jaw, popping noises when your jaw is moved, headaches, and more. Some or all of these symptoms can be present if you have TMJ. Brooklyn Dental offers TMJ treatment including tooth restoration (dental implants or dentures), fixed or removable bite splints to keep your teeth from touching each other, inflammatory drugs, and bite plate therapy. If non-surgical treatment is unsuccessful (or if there is joint damage), surgery may be required.

Porcelain veneers are also an excellent solution for cavities or other areas of damage to a tooth. They can be used for restoring a single tooth, or used on multiple teeth for creating a beautiful smile. Porcelain veneers were actually first invented by Charles Pincus in California, but have advanced since then to become a permanent solution to dental problems.

Partial dentures act like bridgework, but are attached to a plastic base, so they are not as comfortable as bridgework would be. However they also aid in filling in gaps and protecting against other teeth shifting.

Anything you do to move your jaw requires these joints - eating, talking and even smiling.If the TMJ joints stop working, this can result in ear pain that doesn't go away easily, problems opening or shutting your mouth, soreness in your jaw, popping noises when your jaw is moved, headaches, and more.

Porcelain Veneers
Cavities and tooth decay are filled inside the tooth with a composite filling to prevent further decay. Porcelain veneers are custom made facings that attach to the front of your teeth for a natural look.

Dental Bridge Work & Partial Dentures
Dental bridges can help those struggling with gaps in teeth. They close spaces in your mouth with long lasting, artificial teeth. They are a semi-permanent solution that can only be installed or removed by a dentist. Bridges are comfortable and can actually strenghthen your teeth. Most bridges fall into three categories: traditional which involves a crown on either side of the missing tooth; cantilever which are used when there is only one adjacent tooth; and resin bonded which are fake teeth and gums supported by a metal framework.Partial dentures act like bridgework, but are attached to a plastic base, so they are not as comfortable as bridgework would be. However they also aid in filling in gaps and protecting against other teeth shifting.
