Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth to mask the look of dental imperfections. While they transform the aesthetics of your smile, they don't change the function and health of your teeth and gums.

Dr. Buono is the best! His office and staff are amazing. Their attention to detail is like no other and they always make me feel comfortable. I have always been squeamish and hated the dentist until I started coming to this office. Dr. Bueno did my veneers 3 years ago and has been maintaining them ever since. They came out amazing and its the best decision Ive ever made. Love my smile!

Your digital impressions will be sent to a lab and referenced during the creation of the veneers to ensure a natural fit. While the veneers are being fabricated in a dental laboratory, temporary dental veneers will be placed.

Dr. Buono not only has over 25 years of dentistry experience along with affiliations with the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, but he has also received porcelain veneers. Being on the other end of treatment, Dr. Buono can offer a unique perspective on veneer placement from not only a doctor's vantage point, but a patient's.

While our porcelain veneer procedure is accomplished with minimally invasive cosmetic techniques for natural results, we also offer other aesthetic tooth replacement techniques that are even less invasive.

Lumineers is an appealing, less-invasive alternative to traditional porcelain veneers. Commonly referred to as minimal-prep veneers, Lumineers produce results similar to traditional veneers without removing enamel. Because Lumineers dont require extensive changes to the natural tooth, they are also reversible, making them a welcomed option for patients who are reluctant to make a permanent change. Finally, Lumineers are natural-looking and long-lasting, with results lasting up to 20 years.

Dr, Buono is a compassionate professional. He explains everything toughly and let's you know what to expect before he does any work. He is top notch in his field & I would highly recommend him. Thanks Louis!

Dental implants are titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. They are biocompatible, so over time they naturally fuse with your jawbone tissue, becoming a part of your anatomy. Dr. Buono can attach custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures to your implants.

Dr. Buono works with a team of highly trained oral surgeons to provide his implant patients with the best possible care. The oral surgeon performs the surgical placement of the implant, while Dr. Buono handles the creation and placement of the implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture.

Once the implant and jawbone have fully integrated, you will undergo a second procedure to attach abutment pieces. The abutments will sit at the gum line and serve as the point of connection between the titanium implants and your restoration.

Once the gums have healed, Dr. Buono can begin preparing your implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture. We will use our state-of-the-art Cadent iTero Scanner to take digital impressions of your mouth. We were the first practice in the entire world to make use of this futuristic technology.

Dr. Buono will use your scans to design a precise-fitting, natural-looking restoration out of materials of your choosing. Then, we will send our design to our trusted dental lab, where skilled technicians will craft your restoration to fit your unique specifications.

Finally, once your crown, bridge, or denture is ready, you will return to our Garden City office to have your prosthetic tooth or teeth placed. Our dentist will secure the restoration and check the overall look and fit, making any necessary adjustments. You will leave our office with a complete, confident smile!

Dr Buono and his staff are the best! Theyre always so friendly and accommodating. I know Dr Buono always has my best interest at heart and that makes the whole going to the dentist experience even better.

Dr Buonos office is very professional. His office is very concerned about the comfort of the patients. Dr Buono is highly knowledgeable and up to date on the latest developments in dentistry I highly recommend him.

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a healthy tooth after the damaged portion has been removed. Crowns are often the final step in a root canal treatment. If you have lost teeth, we can also secure a crown to a dental implantto fill the gaps in your smile. We can craft your restoration from several different materials including porcelain, resin, and ceramic to best suit your budget and aesthetic goals.

Dr. Louis Buono is committed to creating bright, stunning smiles for all of his patients. Because our practice believes in comprehensively treating your smile, we perform a wide range of procedures designed to improve your oral health and the aesthetics of your teeth. We are constantly updating our office with the latest technologies in the field of dentistry to give our patients the high-quality treatment they deserve.

Our innovative Cadent iTero scanner takes digital impressions of your teeth to create ultra-precise custom crowns. The scanner has done away with outdated messy putty impressions, improving the comfort of treatment, and the quality of the final results. Dr. Buono was the first cosmetic dentist in the world to use this technology, which is now utilized by dental practices worldwide for its convenience and accuracy.

The technology works by capturing a detailed 3-D model of your teeth and gums within seconds. These digital images are displayed on a chair-side monitor allowing us to show you a simulation of what the crown will look like after treatment. iTero is just another example of how Garden City Smiles stays at the forefront of medical innovation and modern dentistry.

The dentist will then prepare your affected tooth with a root canal or other preparatory procedure to disinfect the area and remove the decayed inner pulp. We will shave off a thin layer of surface enamel to make room for the crown.

Our high-tech digital imaging system takes a virtual scan of your mouth so the dentist can design your custom restoration. We send the design off to our trusted dental lab where experienced technicians craft the restoration from porcelain or other restorative material.

The dentist will place a temporary crown on the tooth for protection while your custom crown is being made. The temporary crown is not as durable as its permanent counterpart, so avoid hard sticky foods and excess and pressure in the meantime.

Once we receive the permanent crown, you will return to the dentist's office for placement. After making any necessary adjustments to the fit and positioning, the dentist bonds the restoration to the surface of your tooth, and treatment is complete.

We craft our dental crowns from the highest quality restorative materials. Porcelain, a favorite among patients and dentists alike, provides the most life-like aesthetics mimicking the qualities of natural teeth. We match the shade of porcelain to your existing tooth enamel for seamless end results.

Dr. Buono always makes you feel comfortable and engaged in your own treatment. He explains your options and his execution of the treatment is always mindful, professional and caring. If you need to have dentistry done, Louis j. Buono, DDS is the man for you !

Most crowns have a lifespan of about seven to ten years. This can be extended though with good dental hygiene and proper care. Maintenance is relatively simple and intuitive. We recommend that our patients follow a few simple tips:

It is important to avoid extremely hard or chewy foods that might dislodge your crack the restoration. Refrain from grinding your teeth or opening packages with your mouth, since a dental crown can wear down just like natural tooth enamel.

Brush your teeth twice dailyand floss regularly, especially around your crown treated tooth. Rather than pulling the floss up and down, the floss should be pulled front to back to prevent dislodging the crown.

Visit our Long Island, NY, practice bi-annually for deep cleaning and check-up. The dentist will be able to check the status of your crown and make sure your tooth is still properly protected and healthy.
