Invisalign® is an effective teeth straightening procedure that uses clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® uses custom-made aligner trays that are completely see-through. This allows for a natural-looking smile when wearing Invisalign®. Invisalign® aligners are removable but must be worn for at least 20-22 hours a day in order to achieve the desired results.

Invisalign® is able to straighten the teeth as effectively as traditional braces without the uncomfortable and bulky aspects of metal braces. Many patients choose to use Invisalign® because the aligners are discreet and hardly noticeable. This can improve confidence when speaking and smiling all while helping to properly align the smile. Additionally, Invisalign® aligners are easily removed for eating and daily cleaning.

A TMJ treatment is designed to improve the symptoms of a TMJ disorder. The TMJ are your temporomandibular joints, which connect the jaw to the skull. These joints are on both sides of the face and are located just in front of the ears. TMJ syndrome can cause pain and impaired movement of the TMJ, which can result in jaw tenderness, earaches, difficulty chewing, talking, or smiling, facial pain, and even lockjaw.

Moderate or severe cases of a TMJ disorder can negatively affect daily life and make eating, smiling, or talking incredibly painful and difficult. A TMJ disorder can be caused by a disc displacement or muscle dysfunction. Symptoms of a TMJ disc displacement include a clicking sound, limited mobility when opening the jaw, pain when opening the jaw, and a grating sensation in the jaw. On the other hand, TMJ muscle dysfunction can cause muscle spasms, weakened jaw muscles, and painful jaw movements.

Gum recession causes the tissues of the gums to pull away from the teeth. Receding gums are a common condition seen in periodontics. Receding gums can be caused from a gum injury, aggressive brushing, ill-fitting dentures, tobacco use, teeth grinding, or a family history of gum recession. Receding gums can cause the roots of the teeth to become exposed, which can lead to root sensitivity, bone loss, and possible loss of the tooth. NYC periodontists can provide effective gum recession treatments to improve receding gums and to protect a tooth from decay and damage. Treatment of receding gums can also alleviate any pain or inflammation caused by gum recession. To learn more about receding gum treatments, click the button below.

Gum contouring, which is also known as gum reshaping, is a periodontal treatment that recontours the gum tissue around certain teeth. Periodontists can perform gum contouring surgery on several teeth or all of the teeth of the smile, depending on your specific needs. Gum reshaping is a versatile procedure that can be used to remove unhealthy gum tissue or as a cosmetic procedure. Gum contouring is often performed to treat a gummy smile, asymmetrical gums, cleft gums, and enlarged gums. Click the button below to learn more about gum contouring.

Crown lengthening is a gum treatment that is performed when too little of the tooth is exposed. Crown lengthening removes excess gum tissue, exposing more of your tooth. Crown lengthening is sometimes performed to correct a gummy smile, which is when excess gum tissue conceals too much of the teeth and makes them appear too small or short. Additionally, the periodontists perform crown lengthening to treat a cavity concealed beneath the gum line or to expose more of a tooth that is broken or damaged in order to effectively place a dental crown.

Periodontists perform a gum graft by using healthy gum tissue from a donor location or using a dehydrated tissue such as Alloderm and placing it in areas that may be experiencing receding gums. Gum grafting can promote the healthy generation of gum tissue to treat gum recession. By treating gum recession with a gum graft, the roots of the teeth are protected from harmful bacteria, as well as temperature extremes and other irritants. Gum grafting is a versatile treatment. Periodontists can perform gum grafting using allografting techniques, connective tissue grafts, pedicle grafts, and free gingival grafts.

Periodontal disease, which is commonly referred to as gum disease, is an infection of the gums that can cause damage to the teeth and jawbone.

Tooth extraction involves removing the entire tooth. Oral surgeons always attempt to save a tooth if possible. However, in some instances, tooth extraction is the best option when decay, disease, or damage to the tooth are irreversible, leading to an non-restorable tooth. Tooth removal is often suggested to prevent decay or an infection from spreading. Tooth extraction surgery can also be performed to correct overcrowding, remove a broken or damaged tooth, or to prepare your mouth for future dental implants. In the majority of cases, tooth extraction is often combined with dental implant surgery or a tooth replacement procedure. Click the button below to learn more about tooth extraction.

Wisdom teeth removal may be necessary to extract wisdom teeth that are partially impacted, fully impacted, or that are causing discomfort. Wisdom teeth extraction can alleviate painful symptoms related to wisdom teeth that are emerging from the gumline improperly. In the majority of cases, there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to adequately emerge from the gumline. Wisdom teeth can cause toothaches, damage to neighboring teeth, jaw pain, cysts, and even nerve damage if left untreated. Sohosmile® offers wisdom teeth removal to alleviate these painful symptoms.

Dental bone grafting can correct low jawbone density with the use of bone grafting material. A dental bone graft can stimulate the growth of new bone in the jaw. A dental bone graft may be recommended for patients who are not eligible for dental implants due to improper jawbone density. Dental bone grafting improves overall jawbone density and can ensure a stable foundation for future dental implants. Additionally, a dental bone graft can maintain the structure of the face and jaw by replacing the missing bone. Click the button below to learn more about a dental bone graft.

Root canal surgery can treat an infection within a tooth by thoroughly cleaning out the tooth. A root canal can stop the infection from spreading or worsening. If performed early, a root canal can also save a tooth from having to be pulled. A root canal treatment allows for patients to talk, smile, and eat without pain. Endodontists are experts in the field of root canal surgery and can provide prompt relief from a painful infected tooth. Click the button below to learn more about root canal surgery.

Professional dental cleanings can remove harmful plaque and built-up tartar from the teeth. Teeth cleanings can maintain a bright, white smile by removing discolorations due to plaque build-up in addition to providing a healthy smile. Routine teeth cleanings can help prevent the development of serious oral conditions, including cavities, gingivitis, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Teeth cleanings and dental evaluations are a useful preventive tool that can lower your risk for several oral diseases and complications.

During a tooth cleaning treatment, plaque and tartar are removed from the teeth and below the gumline. Once tartar has formed, it is impossible to remove with just brushing alone. A professional teeth cleaning uses specialized tools to safely and effectively remove tartar build-up. In more severe cases or for patients with a pre-existing gum disease or oral condition, a deep teeth cleaning may be recommended.

Cavity fillings use tooth-colored material to fill a cavity and restore the structural integrity and overall health of the tooth. A cavity typically forms due to bacteria within the mouth, excess sugar consumption, and poor oral hygiene. A cavity is a permanently damaged area of the tooth that has developed a small hole within the structure. If left untreated, cavities can cause tooth pain, infections, and even tooth loss.

Treatment of a cavity removes any decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. A dental filling material is used to replace the space within the tooth caused by the cavity. Dental fillings are designed to seamlessly match your smile and can restore the integrity of the tooth. After the dental filling material has been placed, Dr. Koutsoyiannis will clean, shape, and polish the material for the most natural-looking results possible.

Dentures are a common treatment to replace some or all of the missing teeth of the upper or lower jaw. Dentures can restore a full smile as well as allowing patients to talk and eat with ease.
