Sitwell Dental

Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is considered an investment in both your oral and overall health. A common question many patients have before choosing this solution is how much dental implants cost. Each dental implant case is unique to every patient, and depending on your needs and smile goals, the dental implant cost will change. The best way to find out an estimated dental implant cost is to schedule a consultation and full-mouth evaluation with our doctors.

A dental crown is a lifelike “cap” that covers a damaged or cracked tooth. After we place a crown over a tooth, it will look seamless in your smile and allow you to bite and chew without discomfort. Dental crowns in Malta, Clifton Park, NY and Saratoga Springs, NY are commonly used to repair cracks or chips, malformed or broken teeth, restore dental implants and to repair a tooth after a root canal. When preparing a tooth for a crown, we take a digital impression of the area using our intraoral camera and create an ideal tooth replica on a computer. This information is then sent to a trusted dental lab that will create your crown out of lifelike ceramic material. With proper oral care, your dental crown will be a long-term restoration for you.

We see many patients who want to improve the look of their smiles, but don’t want or don’t need to go through extensive procedures. Porcelain veneers are an affordable, easy cosmetic dentistry solution to give patients like you the picture-picture look they desire. At Sitwell Dental, our beautiful porcelain veneers can mask imperfections and give you a stunning new smile. Veneers are an ultra-thin cosmetic dentistry solution that can brighten and straighten teeth in as little as two visits.

Common cosmetic dentistry concerns that porcelain veneers can correct include:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Yellowed or stained teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Short or worn teeth
• Small gaps between teeth

The Invisalign treatment process is simple: you wear the clear aligners for 22 hours a day and remove them to eat, drink, or clean your teeth, which will result in a straight, gorgeous smile. When preparing you for Invisalign treatment, we will digitally capture images of your bite and create a series of clear aligner trays that slowly adjust your teeth as you wear them. Most aligners will have to be worn one to two weeks and then switched out for a new, slightly adjusted set. Over the course of several months, the aligners will straighten your teeth to the desired position.

Thanks to the flexibility of clear, removable aligners, patients enjoy many benefits from Invisalign:

• Nearly invisible
• No dietary restrictions
• Brush and floss teeth as normal
• Typically shorter treatment times
• Less irritation of gums and lips

Six Month Smiles is a orthodontic treatment which includes placing clear braces and tooth-colored brackets on your teeth, which blend into your smile and are less obvious than traditional metal braces. These braces are able to work so quickly because they make slight adjustments only to the teeth that are visible when you smile. Six Month Smiles is ideal for those who already have a healthy bite, but still want to cosmetically align crooked teeth.

Six Month Smiles offers many benefits over traditional orthodontics:

• Straightens teeth quickly
• Tooth-colored, discreet appearance
• Minimal discomfort from tooth alignment
• Fewer visits to the dentist for adjustments

Have you begun noticing that your cheeks look more sunken in? Or your lips seem thin? Maybe wrinkles and fine lines have begun to show up around your eyes, mouth, and forehead. Volume loss in your skin is a normal result of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean you have to feel self-conscious about how you look. At Sitwell Dental, our experienced cosmetic dentists are skilled in treating your skin imperfections with dermal fillers in Clifton Park, NY. Dermal fillers are best known as “wrinkle fillers,” but they provide numerous other benefits for our patients, including restoring volume to the lips and cheeks and improving the appearance of scars.

• Facial lines

• Vertical lip lines

With over 35 million Americans missing all or most of their teeth, dentures are a common solution to restore function and appearance. Dentures are a removable prosthetic device that rests on the gums and are commonly held in place with adhesives or pastes. Dentures resemble a full set of natural teeth and allows those who are missing their teeth to bite and chew again. At Sitwell Dental, we offer affordable and natural-looking dentures to allow our patients who are missing teeth to return a sense of normalcy to their lives.

Dentures provide several oral health and cosmetic benefits:

• Eat and chew more foods
• Return aesthetics to the smile
• Improve speech
• Restore self-confidence

When a tooth is badly damaged, infected, or needs to be replaced with dental implants, we commonly need to perform tooth extractions. Having a tooth extracted is more common than many people think, with over 74 percent of adults needing an extraction at some point in their life. While our team will do everything possible to save your natural teeth, we offer gentle tooth extractions when it is absolutely necessary. Most patients experience a relief from pain after extraction and can begin to make necessary steps towards replacing their lost teeth with dental implants.

Common reasons you may need a tooth extraction:

• Severe damage or trauma to teeth
• Excessive tooth decay
• Wisdom teeth
• Retained baby teeth
• Choosing full-arch dental implants

When a tooth has become infected due to decay or disease, we may need to perform root canal therapy to cleanse the tooth and prevent the spread of infection. Contrary to popular belief, root canals are not a painful procedure and actually relieve the source of tooth pain. Without receiving treatment, the infection in your tooth can form a painful abscess (collection of pus and bacteria) and even lead to the tooth needing to be extracted. Research has also found that the bacteria from infection can spread through the blood stream to other parts of the body, causing systemic health conditions like stroke or heart disease. Our team at Sitwell Dental offers gentle root canal treatment to remove the infection from your tooth and restore it to proper, pain-free, function.

Common symptoms of a tooth infection include:

• Constant tooth pain
• Tooth sensitivity to temperature
• Pain when biting or chewing
• Recurring bad breath (halitosis)
• Swelling of the face, cheek or lymph nodes
• Abscess forming around affected tooth
