Our Edward I. Shapiro, D.D.S. offers a full array of dental services to help you maintain healthy teeth. You can read more on this page about specific services.

 

 

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

Dental Implants
We will work with an implant specialist to create an implant for a missing single tooth, missing multiple teeth, or replace a removable appliance.

Teeth Bleaching
We use Opalescence a take home tray system.  You can receive optimum results after 10 to 14 days of daily use.

Crowns and Veneers
You can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns (empressed material) on the anterior teeth. For the posterior, we use porcelain fused to metal.

Fillings: Resin
Tooth-colored filings that are light cures to match your teeth.

Periodontal Therapy
You should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year. A periodontal treatment includes an Adult Prophy (basic cleaning). If it has been over a year since your last cleaning, possible treatment will include either Periodontal Scaling (deeper) or Root Planning and Scaling (requires anesthetic).

Bite Appliance
Whether you are an athlete or casual sports participant, you should wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a bite guard will help reduce symptoms of TMJ.

Removable Dental Prosthesis
For missing teeth, we can make dentures or removable partials for you.

Neuromuscular Dentistry (NMD)
Neuromuscular Dentistry includes the muscles of your face in finding your optimal bite. With NMD the occlusion, or bite, of the jaw is improved in order to eliminate the pain you could be suffering from but not limited to neck and back pain, headaches and migraines.
