How to Maintain a Healthy Smile
The main goal of general dentistry is to prevent any dental issues from developing and keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible. At East Hills Dental Associates, we believe this can be achieved by doing two things: visiting our office every six months for regular checkups and abiding by a strict at-home oral care routine.
At your bi-annual dentist appointment, your teeth, mouth, and gums will be examined by your dentist. They may take dental X-rays as well to get a better picture of your teeth. This is important to your oral health because it allows us to intercept any dental problems in the beginning stages.
Then, we can provide treatment as soon as possible. If issues such as gum disease or tooth decay are left untreated, they will progress and get worse. Also, at each visit, your teeth will be cleaned by a registered and experienced dental hygienist. They will remove excess plaque and tartar that is missed with daily tooth brushing and flossing.
Dr. Sousa and his staff also believe in educating patients about proper at-home oral care. We advise all patients to brush their teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and avoid excess sugar. Maintaining these daily habits along with visiting our Sea Cliff, NY, area dentist office every six months, will help prevent oral diseases and tooth decay.
Restorative Dentistry Treatment for Missing or Damaged Teeth
Dr. Sousa offers his patients from Sea Cliff, NY, expert restorative dental care. If you have missing or damaged teeth, he can restore your smile using personalized treatments. Restoring teeth is very important to maintain your long-term oral health. Even one missing tooth can cause other surrounding teeth to shift, affecting the structure and stability of your bite.
Damaged teeth should also be fixed as soon as possible to avoid even further progression of the damage. Dr. Sousa offers a full range of restorative dental care, including dental implants, dentures, dental crowns, and dental bridges. He also treats bite problems related to TMJ disorders.
Cosmetic Dentistry to Improve the Appearance of Your Smile
Dr. Sousa offers a full menu of cosmetic dentistry treatments to help patients improve the appearance of their smiles. The cosmetic treatments offered are both effective and affordable and will support your long-term dental health. As a trained cosmetic dentist, Dr. Sousa ensures that cosmetic treatments will be performed on a stable and healthy oral foundation. He can realign crooked teeth, brighten stained or yellow teeth, reshape teeth that are crooked and uneven, close gaps in between teeth, and fix a chipped tooth.
