My patients and most of America are ready to spring forward their smiles this year. What I am seeing in my patients coming in after a forced pandemic break from our dental practice are a few interesting things. For one, and perhaps the most obvious is that many of my patients have fallen off the oral hygiene wagon and are in desperate need of a good cleaning and tooth repair.

The second, and more interesting, is their heightened awareness of their smile and aesthetics. There is a tremendous want occurring in many patients to perfect and highlight their smiles now more than ever. We have many requests for clear aligner teeth straightening (MOD Mouth or Invisalign), teeth whitening, veneers along with Botox, Filler, and EVOKE. I call this the ZOOM! effect caused by hours and hours of working from home with a camera directed at one’s faces and screened on their computers.

Restorative dentistry is the study, diagnosis, and integrated management of diseases and breaking of the teeth and their supporting structures, and the rehabilitation of the teeth and supporting structures to functional and aesthetic requirements of the individual. In modern dentistry, a conservative and aesthetic approach is an integral part of restorative dentistry.

HB: What issues does restorative dentistry address?

Everything from repairs of chipped teeth to fractured teeth, from cavities to failed restorations, from discoloration and stains to replacement of missing teeth.

The past year and a half have caused much stress and sorrow and it shows in our smiles. Many patients have been clenching and grinding more often which has led to failed restorations and broken and chipped teeth. The most common restorative dental procedures today in my practice are ceramic crowns, replacement of silver broken fillings with ceramic inlays, onlays, and composite white fillings, and cosmetic bonding for chipped and uneven teeth along with professional dentist fabricated nightguards.

HB: How does Luxury Dentistry NYC handle each patient’s case?

We have a holistic approach at LDNYC. Every smile is unique and we always take the full face into account when planning our restorative and cosmetic procedures.
