Advantages of Invisalign over Traditional Braces

At Elite Dental Arts, Invisalign is recommended for orthodontic situations with mild to moderate spacing or crowding. Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. With Invisalign, metal mouth is a thing of the past. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.

With traditional braces, brushing and flossing can take up to 30 minutes when done properly. With Invisalign, the aligner trays are removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing, to eating whatever you like. Although both products straighten your teeth and effectively treat a wide variety of cases, Invisalign allows you to enjoy your teeth-straightening process because you don’t have sharp metal to irritate your cheeks and gums.  

If you are searching to straighten your teeth, schedule a consultation with our doctors to discuss your options.

Dental Bonding for Beautiful and Strong Restorations

Imperfections to your teeth like decay or injury can often leave your smile less than bright. The great thing is that there are ways to fix problems like cracks, chips, discoloration, and more. Dr. Nick M Mobilia, DDS of Elite Dental Arts in our New York, NY office offers dental bonding to restore both the beauty and strength of our patients’ smiles.

Dental bonding is the process of using a composite resin to smooth over imperfections. The resin may be chosen in the shade that matches your tooth so that the improvement is not noticeable in your smile. The restoration will just look like the rest of your teeth. For those who want to use bonding to whiten their smile, a resin is chosen in a whiter color than the current shade of their teeth. The resin is then smoothed over the entire smile. For cracks, chips, misaligned teeth, gaps, and more, the resin is smoothed over the imperfection to complete a more aesthetically-pleasing look. When the resin is shaped accordingly, a curing light is used to harden the resin. The tooth is then polished so that it shines like natural teeth. Preparation for the tooth is minimal, light etching is all that is needed.

Bonding can remain strong and good-looking for over ten years with good care. That means you will have a beautifully restored or whitened smile for a long time!

Botox to Relieve TMD Pain and Provide Cosmetic Improvements

Those who suffer through TMD know that it can result in pain, worn down teeth, and destruction of their jaw and gums. Here at Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY, Dr. Nick M Mobilia, DDS offers Botox. Not only does it decrease pain and wearing due to TMD, but it may also provide cosmetic benefits.

TMD is the dysfunction of the TMJs. This condition causes the jaw to clench and lock up; it causes massive facial and jaw pain, bad headaches, and causes the destruction of teeth and gums. Botox can help decrease some of the pain associated and help decrease the destruction caused. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that surround the TMJs. This can relieve pain and discomfort, reduce the intensity of clenching, reduce headaches, and reduce the wear-down of teeth, gums, and your jaw joints (TMJs).

Botox may also be used to improve the look of “gummy smile”. This is a condition where there is excess gum tissue that makes teeth appear shorter. Botox relaxes the upper lip to improve the look of this. Botox also helps control excessive salivary flow. For those who would like smooth and youthful-looking skin to complement their smile, Botox may also be used to reduce wrinkles in the forehead.

If you are suffering though pain and destruction due to TMD, or desire a cosmetic boost, Botox may be your solution. To schedule an appointment in our New York, NY office with Dr. Nick M Mobilia, DDS, contact Elite Dental Arts at (212) 681-0939 or visit our website, www.elitedentalarts.com.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and How We Treat It

Obstructive sleep apnea is not only a condition causing loud snoring and daily fatigue; it can also cause major health complications. Elite Dental Arts of New York, NY understands how dangerous sleep apnea can be, which is why we offer our patients an oral appliance to correct the condition.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where the soft palate collapses and causes an obstruction in the windpipe. This causes disruptions in breathing which can range from a few times per night to hundreds of times per night. Missing out on oxygen and sleep night after night can wear on your body in ways you do not notice, but ways that can be very dangerous. Sleep apnea causes complications with surgery and certain medications. Sleep apnea also increases the risk of heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, and stroke.

Here at Elite Dental Arts, our patients suffering from the complications due to obstructive sleep apnea can find relief. We offer an oral appliance to correct the collapsed soft palate and open up the airway again. This appliance is customized for each individual’s case and fitted here in our New York, NY office to ensure the correct positioning of the mouth. The results of patients who are finally breathing throughout the whole night is truly wonderful.

If you have been suffering with sleep apnea or suspect that you do, now is the time to make an appointment with Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY. To schedule, call us at (212) 681-0939 or visit our website, www.elitedentalarts.com
