Cosmetic Dentistry in Shelter Island, NY

If you feel like you want to improve the look of your smile, cosmetic dentistry may be the right answer for you. Our Shelter Island, NY dental office offers cosmetic dentistry treatments to help you with getting the perfect smile you’ve always wanted. Cosmetic dentistry includes teeth whitening to assist in removing any stains which have developed from foods and drinks. We additionally offer composite or porcelain veneers that change the form and color of your teeth. Veneers are thin restorations that are modified to accommodate your teeth and afterward positioned over them, giving you a complete new smile.

invisalign

Invisalign® in Shelter Island, NY

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign® is a clear and removable alternative to help achieve a straight smile. They’re an excellent, non-invasive type of braces that our Shelter Island, NY dental office offers with no metal brackets needed! The Invisalign® process involves a custom-fit, clear plastic aligner that you wear to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Since the aligners are clear, they are virtually invisible to others who see you smile. While the process is subtle, Invisalign® aligners ensures that your daily life will not be affected by them. Invisalign® is a great choice for patients with crowding, minor spaces between the teeth, overbites, and underbites. They also work well for patients of all ages.

If your emergency or pain is severe or happens after business hours, you should seek immediate attention from an emergency room.

whitening

Teeth Whitening in Shelter Island, NY

Because our teeth naturally lose its white brilliance it once had, teeth whitening is a great option to restore its look. Foods and drinks like tomatoes, coffee and wine stain your teeth after a while. For that reason, we offer teeth whitening options that can help lift those stains and make your teeth look brighter, reviving your bright smile. Our Shelter Island, NY dental office offers solutions to assist in whitening your teeth, including take-home teeth whitening kits and in-office teeth whitening treatments. Take-home teeth whitening kits are an excellent choice as they gradually brighten your smile and are very affordable. In-office teeth whitening offers the best results and work immediately after one visit. If you’re interested in teeth whitening and would really like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to call us. We will be glad to help you with deciding the best option to achieve a whiter smile.
