Fresh Meadows dentistThe first thing most people notice when they look at you is probably your smile. Taking care of your teeth is one of the easiest and best ways to present yourself to the world. But sometimes you need a little extra help to reestablish your beautiful smile. If so, a cosmetic and restorative dental procedure may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At the office of Stuart Shaffren, DDS, our Fresh Meadows dentist is dedicated to creating beautiful, long-lasting smiles and maintaining healthy mouths.
At the office of Stuart Shaffren, DDS, we create individual smiles that compliment a patient's facial features and enhance their overall facial beauty. Our Fresh Meadows dental office seeks to establish facial harmony where the smile is not the central focal point, but enhances the overall facial appearance. One of the ways we do that for our patients is through replacing missing teeth with dental implants. Our dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed by our dentist into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. You will regain the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. A less invasive cosmetic procedure that is very popular with our patients is teeth whitening. Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking, and foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Our teeth whitening services are an excellent way to restore the natural, bright color of your teeth. Teeth whitening is not a permanent procedure. Results can last for one or more years, depending upon your personal habits. In most cases, the whitening procedure is very effective.
Having whiter, brighter teeth, or having missing teeth replaced with dental implants can make a world of difference, allowing you to eat, talk, laugh, and smile with confidence. Our cosmetic dentists believe that people look different, and their teeth look different, so every patient receives a customized service. On the other hand, all patients are equally important and treated as friends and family. At the dental office of Stuart Shaffren, DDS, our Fresh Meadows dentist will determine the best possible solution to restore your teeth based on your individual needs. You never get the chance to make a second impression, so let our procedures ensure you leave a lasting and smiling impression.
