Most other dental offices rely on an outside lab to make their crowns, bridges, and dentures, but we prefer to do everything ourselves to ensure the quality of our restorations and shorten the turnaround time for patients. Thanks to our lab, were able to make every restoration absolutely perfect when it comes to fit and aesthetics, and if any adjustments need to be made, we can do them quickly and help a patient get what they need with practically no wait.
A lot is going on with your teeth and gums that cant be seen with the naked eye, so in addition to using X-rays every single day in our dental office, we also have a camera system that is enhanced with microscope lenses. This allows our team to greatly improve the accuracy and precision of our care. We can make sure absolutely no plaque or tartar are left behind after a cleaning, that all of the decay has been removed from a cavity, and that a cosmetic treatment looks perfect even at extreme magnification.
Just because we offer next-level care doesnt mean youll have to empty your bank account to come see us! Our dental office is able to accept most dental insurance plans and help our patients maximize their coverage to save as much as possible. We can answer any questions you have about your policy, and well even handle the claim for you so all you have to do is sit back, relax, and smile.
Gum disease is one of the biggest threats to your teeth. It starts with gum tissues that are red, swollen, and bleed easily. Sooner or later, assuming no action is taken, the infection could reach the tissue connecting your teeth to your jaw and destroy it, leaving you with several gaps in your smile. Fortunately, if you get in touch with Dent-Care Dental as soon as you have reason to think you might have gum disease, Dr. Volker can quickly diagnose your case and devise a plan for periodontal treatment in Sunnyside, NY to get rid of the infection.
While cleaning every surface of your teeth is vital, the treatment for gum disease focuses specifically on removing plaque and tartar from the area around and underneath the gum line. After this process (known as scaling) is complete, we need to encourage the gums to reattach to the enamel while giving oral bacteria fewer opportunities to build up again. To do this, we smooth (or plane) the roots of the teeth in the affected areas.
