Bleaching
Tooth whitening is one of the simplest ways for you to achieve
a more youthful appearance or brighten your smile. It’s easy, affordable and
painless! We provide at home
whitening treatments delivered with a tray so that you can whiten while
you sleep. In office whitening treatment uses innovative lights and
technologies that brighten your smile right in the office in about an hour and
a half.
Bonding
Bonding is a simple treatment that we use to fix chipped teeth,
lighten their color and even make over your smile. Either your front or back
teeth can be bonded. Treatment is fast, allowing us in one visit to give you a
more youthful smile and replace old metal fillings with an esthetic material
that should last for year.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Tooth colored inlays/onlays and veneers are also bonded
restorations used to replace your fillings. They often require 2 visits. We use
these to improve esthetics where your tooth requires additional strength or
reinforcement.
Crown & Bridge
Crowns or caps are designed to look and feel like natural
teeth, and they are a great option when you desire a more dramatic change in
your appearance. We can significantly lighten the shade of your teeth, correct
spacing problems and achieve beautiful esthetics, particularly if your teeth
have been more severely damaged. Bridges are multiple attached crowns used to
provide lasting replacement to missing natural teeth.
Composites [tooth colored fillings]
Tooth colored resin is bonded [attached] to a tooth to fix
chipped teeth, lighten their color and even make over your smile. Either your
front or back teeth can be bonded. Treatment is fast, allowing us in one visit
to give you a more youthful smile and replace old metal fillings with an
esthetic material that should last for year.
Dentures
Full Dentures [plates] are also an option when you are missing
all of your teeth. Partial dentures may solve the problem when there are not
enough healthy natural teeth left to support a bridge. Dentures can be
stabilized by attaching them to dental implants in many cases.
Implants
Dental implants can replace missing teeth much like an orthopedic surgeon can
replace a deteriorating hip. We anchor the implant into the jaw, where it will
later retain an artificial tooth, or crown. This will allow you to regain the
ability to bite, chew and talk naturally and smile confidently without harming
your adjacent natural teeth. Click here for

Myofacial Pain Therapy [TMJ]
Myofacial Pain Treatment [TMJ] is therapy for facial muscle
pain, ear pain or pain around the joint of the face. Often mouthguards can be
fabricated to relax these muscles and are used as a tool in preparation for
other dental procedures.
Oral Cancer Screening
In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced
technology and highest quality care available to our patients, We are proud to
announce the inclusion of the ViziLite*
exam as an integral part of our annual comprehensive oral cancer screening
program.
One person dies every hour from oral cancer in the United
States - and the mortality has remained unchanged for more than 40 years.
Alarmingly, more than 25% of oral cancer victims have no lifestyle risk
factors. Clinical studies have determined that using
ViziLite after the standard oral cancer examination improves the
clinician's ability to identify, evaluate and monitor suspicious areas at their
earliest stages. Early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or
eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save
your life. Proven screening technologies such as mammogram, Pap smear, PSA and
colonoscopy offer the same types of early detection of cancer.
ViziLite is an easy and painless examination that gives this practice
the best chance to find any oral abnormalities you may have at the earliest
possible stage. This technology is the only FDA-cleared device for the
identification and monitoring of oral abnormalities that could lead to cancer.
Oral cancer risk by patient profile is listed below:
-
Highest Risk: Patients age 40 and older and lifestyle risk factors (tobacco
use); patients with a history of oral cancer
-
High Risk: Patients age 40 and older; tobacco users of any age
-
Increased Risk: Patients age 18 - 39
Pain Management
Pain management is controlled with TV in every treatment room,
headphones, along with the latest intravenous and oral sedation techniques.
With over 20 years experience sedating apprehensive patients, Dr. Kosinski is
well known for helping his patients relax and complete their dental therapy.
Perfect Smile Orthodontics
The PerfectSmile™ system integrates five advanced elements of
dental care:
-
Invisible braces move teeth in weeks rather than years. Using an invisible
aligner, teeth are moved into their correct position, improving
health as well as appearance.
-
Tooth reshaping
using lasers or air abrasion technology to create symmetry & balance.
-
Tooth whitening
for brighter, whiter teeth, that instantly look more youthful and appealing.
-
Laser recontouring
of the gums, because healthy pink gums are the frame around every perfect
smile.
-
Porcelain restorations replace ugly silver fillings or gold crowns,
close spaces, reshape and permanently whiten teeth.
Read some answers to common questions.
Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal treatment is important to achieve and maintain
healthy gums and is provided by our experience hygienist and doctors.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers allow us to predictably enhance your smile.
When you want that Hollywood smile, these strong, durable restorations are the
treatment of choice. They work well for patients with misshapen or crooked
teeth, severe discoloration, and other esthetic imperfections. Veneers are thin
slivers of porcelain we bond directly onto the surface of your front teeth. Two
visits are all that are necessary for that beautiful smile.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is a technique where the nerves of teeth are
removed and replaced with a plastic like material called gutta percha. This
allows the patient to maintain their teeth, yet eliminates tooth pain.
Sleep Sedation
For those patients who are overly anxious and nervous about
their dental work, medication is given to you before the treatment. This puts
you into a semi-conscious dream-like state from which you awake after the
treatment is completed. You will need to have someone drive you home.
