What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

Call (212) 722-4088 promptly for significant tooth pain, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth, oral trauma, or a damaged restoration. Call 911 or seek emergency medical care for severe facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or another potentially life-threatening condition.

How often should I have a dental cleaning and exam?

Many patients benefit from a cleaning and examination about every six months, but the appropriate interval depends on oral health, gum health, medical history, and individual risk factors. The dentist will recommend a schedule after evaluating your needs.

What should I do if I have persistent tooth pain or sensitivity?

Schedule an evaluation instead of waiting for the problem to worsen. Tooth pain or lingering sensitivity can have several causes, and an examination with appropriate imaging may be needed to identify the source.

When is a dental filling needed?

A filling may be recommended when a tooth has a cavity or certain types of minor damage. The dentist removes affected material and restores the area to help protect the remaining tooth structure.

Does needing a root canal mean the tooth must be removed?

Not necessarily. Root canal treatment is intended to remove inflamed or infected tissue from inside an eligible tooth and preserve the tooth when it can be predictably restored. An examination is required to determine the appropriate treatment.

When might a tooth extraction be recommended?

An extraction may be considered for a tooth that cannot be predictably restored, severe infection, advanced periodontal damage, problematic wisdom teeth, or certain orthodontic or restorative plans. The dentist will review alternatives when appropriate.

What are my options for replacing missing teeth?

Depending on your oral health and goals, options may include dental implants, implant-supported restorations, bridges, partial dentures, full dentures, or an All-on-4 treatment concept. An evaluation is needed to determine which options are appropriate.

How do I know whether I am a candidate for dental implants?

Implant candidacy depends on factors such as oral and general health, available bone, gum condition, the location of missing teeth, and personal treatment goals. A clinical examination and appropriate imaging are required.

What cosmetic dental treatments are available?

Available cosmetic options include Invisalign, veneers, dental bonding, and professional teeth whitening. The appropriate treatment depends on the condition of the teeth, bite, oral health, and the changes the patient wants to make.

How does Invisalign treatment work?

Invisalign uses a planned series of removable clear aligners to move eligible teeth gradually. Patients generally wear the aligners as directed and return for progress visits. An evaluation is required to confirm candidacy and develop a treatment plan.

What dental technology does the office use?

Manhattan Best Dental Care uses digital X-rays, an iTero digital scanner, and cone beam imaging when clinically appropriate. These technologies can support diagnosis, digital impressions, and treatment planning.
